Taking it up a notch in crooting

[Trojanbulldog19]

saw it retweeted earlier JoMo and staff went with a croot to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. that ought to seal the deal for us. Can't imagine Mullen eating at a Cracker Barrel. Coach Moorhead looks like he can put away some biscuits and cornbread at a Cracker Barrel.

I had their pan cakes for the first time last night. They are damn tasty.

I had to travel to Boston one time for work, and they had a Cracker Barrel near where we were staying. It actually had grits on the menu (and sweet tea). I remember thinking "this is probably the only place in the entire northeast you can get grits." Thank God for Cracker Barrel, spreading the good news of grits.

My dads brother lived in Philly for a long time and we had to ship grits to him there, couldn't find them anywhere.

wonder if Moorhead or Mullen even know what "grits" are considering they are both from the northeast. Mullen should considering he has been down here for so long, but he didn't ever come across as the type to like southern cooking or just plain country food. I could be wrong about that though.

Cracker Barrel is our "go to" place, especially on Fridays for their fish fry. Use to, you could get either cod or catfish, but now it's only cod. Catfish is still on the menu, just not on the Friday special.

I agree with GloryDawg ... the pancakes are really good. The syrup is close enough to real maple to not matter much, but they used to have 100% the real thing. I guess they can save a few cents per bottle by buying the mixed stuff.

Is there a Cracker Barrel in Starkville now? I know there's one in Columbus by the new hotels.

don't think so. I think they were in Spanish Fort this morning.

I went Friday night. Country Fried Steak. It was pretty good Friday night. I love their syrup on some biscuits. i'm also a fan of their chicken and dumplins. They are usually pretty good, and it's easier to go there and give them 9 bucks than to go through all of the trouble to make them at home. We like cracker barrel because it's cheap, usually dependable good quality, most of the time the service is good, and you can expect most of those things at everyone you go to.

Looks like one of them 17n Iowa yankees downvoted your grits post. 17 em. I upvoted you.

Chicken. Fried. Chicken.

ETA: As a southerner it feels like heresy to say it, but I just don't love grits. Shrimp and Grits, sure.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

you have to know how to make the grits. not too many places do. a lot of places make them like sand. got to have the butter and salt. i prefer mine with cheese.

They have grits lots of places in the Northeast... They just call em' polenta for some reason.

Yea but they ruin them with milk and sugar!

 

[jethreauxdawg]

No thanks

They just call em' polenta for some reason.

Sounds too much like what came out after my kids.

With a name like Jethreaux, I would have bet the farm that you ate the polenta after birth...

Their cornbread is good, but their biscuits are way too heavy. They need to contract out their biscuit making to Hardee's.

According to their menu, one corn muffin has 220 calories. 9 of those things and you've had your daily allowance.

Western PA is far more Southern than NH.

Shrimp and Grits has become a "thing" nation wide. The NOLA influence on cooking

 

[was21]

Megan siad they don't sell grits at Target...especially the one in Orlando

I do all my final contract signings over a hot bowl of grits. Leaves both parties feeling good.

Tofu o the South

It's no Sbarro!

 

[the dog is on the loose]

Their hamburger steak is the bomb! I agree on their pancakes and syrup too.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

Get their blueberry muffin. Theyre amazing

If you ever get some quality gouda cheese grits, we will allow you to edit your post

If you're ever in points north of Kentucky and see one of the five million Red Robins and are tempted to stop there instead of Cracker Barrel, dont.
