Cracker Barrel

Meatloaf

Iv already posted these pictures on my other blog together with other pictures taken from our VA trip last month. I figured since they'r food, I should talk more about them here.

The first 2 years that I lived in the US was in PA (Pennsylvania) since that's where Michael is from. There's a lot of Cracker Barrel there but somehow we have never, or maybe I should say that, HE has never taken me there. So when we were in VA (Virginia) last month for 3 weeks (no, its not a holiday, though I do wish it was!) I told him that I want to give it a try.

Grilled Catfish with Deep-fried Okra

The first thing that caught my eyes were the rocking chairs that they have outside their store. They are made of rattan but they aint cheap though. So we proceeded into the 'restaurant'. Well, its not yet the restaurant since the way the place is designed, you will be inside the store where they sell t'shirts, snacks, hats and etc before you are finally inside the restaurant. If you're a shopaholic, this is really the kinda place that you'd go all the time just because you can shop and then eat without having to do much of walking.

Now back to the food. Iv seen/read a few of my friends who seemed to like this place. Yet, somehow I dont. Yes the grilled catfish was pretty decent but that's basically it. Oh ok! That and the deep-fried lady finger. The mac n cheese was pretty tasteless. As for him, he hardly even ate his meatloaf and let me tell you, that guy loves meatloaf. So for him to not like the meatloaf is rather bizarre. on top of that, he didnt even get the left-over to-go.

And that's it. Too short? Well, what else can I say? Iv practically said what there is to be said. Sorry Cracker Barrel. You just dont score much in my book.
