NASHVILLE For decades, Ray and Wilma Yoder traveled across the country on a unique quest to visit every Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in the country.
They ate their favorite meals meatloaf and pancakes and grilled chicken sandwiches in the most obscure of places: Duncan, S.C., and Layton, Utah, and Baraboo, Wis.
Along the way, they stopped at national landmarks like the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty, and they visited local wonders like the Opryland Hotel.
They always kept a folded map on which they circled every Cracker Barrel they visited on the road. By 2015, they had visited more than 600.

(113,131 posts)at a hospital in the relative boonies and one of those joints was the only eatery for about 5 miles and we only had half an hour so we all went there.
Why in the world, with good family restaurants and diners and tolerable chains would anyone ever decide to eat there if there was any sort of a choice? I was not impressed. I also have a genius for understatement.

(18,010 posts)Bet I've eaten in one that they can't add onto their list though! Cracker Barrel #1 at the 109 ext on I-40 outside Nashville. It's no longer in existence but somewhere at my mom's there a picture that happened to be taken of me in front of the original restaurant/gas station...the original building still stands although it's long been abandoned.
When we lived in RI, we'd often take the kids there for weekend breakfast just to get a "taste of southern cooking", even though it's not that great.

(118,344 posts)I met my parents there and the meal was horrible. The steak was tough, the steak sauce tasted like straight vinegar and the salad bar ingredients weren't fit for human consumption (the rough white part of iceberg lettuce and butts of tomatoes). The restaurant was filthy with dead insects on the tables.
