Restaurant review -- Cracker Barrel

As many of you know, my food intake has been something less than stunning, so yesterday, when we were out and about, and hungry, we had the choice of Cracker Barrel and Uno's.

I chose Cracker Barrel, at the very least I could have an egg.

I was really shocked at how RNY-friendly CB actually is!! They actually have a whole section in the menu called "Low Carb Platters" (or something like that) with low-carb sides as well!! Still too much food for me right now, but they also print in the menu, "Kids Menu (for kids of all ages)". 

Tip: Order from the kids menu when possible. . . its cheaper than ala carte. I ordered one egg, over medium and a 1/2 side (2 pcs) of bacon. It also came with a biscuit, which I only tasted, and only ate 1 pc. of bacon. YUUMMMM. . . and my meal came to $3.68! 

And you can also order off the 'extras' part of the menu . . . a pork chop, some ham, you get the drift.

So, while the bulk of their menu choices are definitely very carby and not appropriate for us, this is definitely a RNY-friendly restaurant.

Who'd-a-thunk-it????  I give 'em two thumbs up!

Cracker Barrel has ALWAYS been one of my favorite resturants...although I haven't had the opportunity to eat there since surgery.  I am originally from KY, so it was a big treat for us to get to go out and eat at CB (can I just say *pre-op* hashbrown casserole...nom, nom!)  Anywho, there are NO CB's in Cali!  Isn't that crazy?  They stop in Arizona...when we moved back out here a few years ago, we drove and we would stop and eat at CB at each overnight stop.  Thanks for the review, Squidsmom!

Oh yeah, I did eat a tsp. of DH's hashbrown casserole.

You know, it just wasn't as appealing as I'd remembered it to be pre-op.

Whenever we travel, CB breakfast are it!   My DH checks ahead to see where they are located and plans the trip accordingly!   

I love me some CB!

WE LOVE the CB~  Yes, very GB friendly!!  Now it's getting through the cute little store that drives our bill up everytime!!  cause I have to have pounds of thier coffee!!!  LOL

Glad you enjoyed your food

Enjoy your Sunday

Oh, I know! Their holiday stuff stops me in my tracks every time! Halloween, Christmas, you name it. It's too cute.

 I love Cracker Barrel!  I was fortunate enough to eat there in AZ last month and FL this month.  Unfortunately the closest one to me here is over 20 miles away...and I dont drive that far for food.

 I love their sweet potatoes (yeah yeah and the ****ty stuff in it!) and the green beans!

Thanks squidsmom
i had been avoiding CB, good to know it is not a place to avoid.

Very cool!!!  CB was one of my "Last" pre-op meals.  There is one five minutes from me.  Now I know I can go again when I am back into a "normal" eating routine!!  Thank you so much for the reminder of the lo-carb menu!!

I take it that you went to the outlets the other day.  We are heading that way now and are planning on hitting Cracker Barrel for some eggs. 

I need clothes so I hope the outlets have some good sales today.
