We moved to Arkansas when I as 5 years old, but every year we'd make 3-4 trips back East to North Carolina to see my family. One of the things I remember as a tradition of those trips was our routine stops at Cracker Barrel along the way. Back then we didn't have one in Northwest Arkansas, let alone my hometown of Springdale, so it was always a treat for us to stop there. It was always so inviting and the food was always excellent.
Earlier this week my wife and I decided to have lunch at Cracker Barrel. I'm a breakfast person and more often than not I would get the Sunrise Sampler or the Uncle Herschel's Favorite. That way I would get a little bit of everything and not miss out on the goodness, but on this day I opted for lunch. I am also a creature of habit and since I love Chicken Fried Steak that was my choice on Monday. It was delicious topped with white gravy and plated with mashed potatoes, corn and okra. I was so full I didn't even get around to have a biscuit with jelly.
My wife, and much better half, decided to go my usual route and have breakfast for lunch. French Toast was her choice. It was browned just right, light and fluffy and the syrup wasn't too heavy. She also had a hot chocolate that looked incredible. There was so much whipped cream and chocolate syrup it required a spoon. It must have been tasty as there was a single drop left at the bottom of the cup.
Our server was just right. She was polite and friendly, stopped by when we needed her and didn't wear us out every 10 seconds with an interruption. As we checked out we even found a few gifts here in the holiday season for class parties and stocking stuffers. All in all a great lunch and we were able to put a few bucks back into the city of Springdale again by staying in town to eat at the only Cracker Barrel in Northwest Arkansas.
