There are 657 Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores operating across the United States. I visited one…read moreof them today. Why? These were unusual circumstances. I had some time between appointments and needed coffee and a bite to eat. Plus, I always wanted to check this place out. Now, I'm still debating with myself. Why would I say anything bad about this restaurant? Hello! It's a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store :). What did I expect? I even knew the coffee would be bad, but the price was a real shocker. The last time I had coffee like that, it cost maybe two dollars, no more, and that included refills. I never eat breakfast out. Never, unless I'm traveling. I ordered an Egg Sandwich, two farm fresh eggs served on seared sourdough bread with tomato slices and no mayo. It comes with one classic side. I chose Hashbrown Casserole. The eggs were delicious. The bread wasn't anything close to a 'real' sourdough, but it was actually seared with flavorful butter, and I enjoyed it. The tomato wasn't the best, but salt and pepper came to the rescue. I appreciated that everything was under-seasoned. It's much easier just to add more salt and pepper. It was a very basic type of food. My partner got a little bit wilder with his choices. How about Grandpa's Country Fried Breakfast :). Two eggs and country fried steak with sawmill gravy, served with biscuits and more sawmill gravy and one classic side. He chose Hashbrown Casserole as well. Do you know what sawmill gravy is? "Sawmill gravy is a hearty Southern white gravy made by creating a roux from pork sausage or bacon drippings and flour, then whisking in milk. The Origins: the name 'sawmill gravy' dates back to 19th-century logging and sawmill camps. Cooks needed to provide an inexpensive, calorie-dense breakfast for laborers". At first, we criticized the gravy thinking it was a skimpy white sausage gravy. We had no idea sawmill gravy is something different. Now we know. Our server was good. The dining rooms were heavily decorated. The choice of music was just like at the Cabela's store. All in all, two breakfasts (including a simple egg sandwich) and bad coffee for a total of 40 dollars with tip was definitely not worth it for me. I've heard their pancakes are the best, but pancakes are not really my thing. I'll never forget the blueberry pancakes that my Yelp Friend Dan B. shared a photo of a while back :). They looked sumptuous. There were a decent number of customers, so this place is a popular spot. I didn't care about the store, either.

Fast forward to present day, I still love the concept of the store with the restaurant connected in one spot. But I do remember the food being a little bit better. Now it has been awhile since I was last here. But we went this week in hopes that it was still as good as we remembered. I was a little disappointed. We had a water spill on the table. There were no napkins anywhere and we waited awhile before a server was able to bring some over. Not a big deal but like...why can't we have napkins on the table? The food was fine. The chicken and dumplings were the star of the show here. Always have been. The steak was a bold choice but I wanted to see how it turned out. Ordered it medium, came to the table well done. It had a good seasoning and the shrimp were good but definitely not how you want a steak. To be honest, the best part of the visit was the store. Everyone found something in there that they liked and we even ended up bringing home a peg game too. The vibe here feels good but the food and service were a little lacking. Definitely felt like we might be back just for the shop in the future.

This is our second time at an OPH (two different locations) and we have yet to be disappointed…read more Our service was fabulous. She was attentive, friendly, and quick. The atmosphere was very diner like and we enjoyed the good warm coffee while we waited for our delicious meal! So to the food aspect: my partner got the Irish Omelette which had broccoli, corn beef hash, spinach, pepper jack cheese (his choice and we both agree it was a win). The omelette sounded overwhelming to me, but I am thankful my partner ordered it because it was good! He also ordered the English muffin. Which was also AMAZING! Now onto the western omelette, it was also wonderful. Eggs fluffy, a good amount of cheese (I picked cheddar). Everything was perfect. But the star of the show was my side of French toast. They bake the bread there for the French toast. It was cooked to perfection and the perfect amount of sweet. One slice was all I needed (...to break my diet ) but dang was it worth it.

On my last day of summer vacation, I treated my mom to breakfast. This is one of her favorite…read morebreakfast spots, so naturally, this is where we ended up! We arrived closer to lunchtime than breakfast, which worked in our favor since there wasn't a wait. We were seated right away, and our server, Angela P., promptly came over for our coffee order. Two coffees later, we were ready to order. My mom, as always, went with her beloved Mushroom Omelet (a bit steep at $15.20 in my opinion), while I ordered a half portion of the Two by Four, which included one egg and two pancakes. It ended up being the perfect amount of food for me. I wasn't thrilled about the $1.60 upcharge for chocolate chips, but the pancakes were fluffy, delicious, and worth the splurge. The restaurant appears to have been remodeled since my last visit and it has a much nicer look and feel than I remembered. My only real complaint is the noise level. Every time I've been here it's been incredibly loud, making conversation a bit difficult and hindering the overall breakfast experience, especially before coffee. Overall, I understand why so many people (including my mom) love this place. The service was friendly, the food was good, and we left satisfied. It's just not my personal favorite breakfast spot in Buffalo, especially considering the prices and noise level. Even so, if you're looking for a reliable breakfast with generous portions, I can see the appeal.

We stopped by for a late breakfast, and the place was pretty packed, but luckily, we didn't have to…read morewait long before the hostess seated us. Since it was so busy, our waitress took a little while to come over for drinks and then again to take our food order, which was understandable but still noticeable. We ordered the mushroom omelet with the mushroom sauce on the side and the Dutch Baby. The omelet itself was pretty basic, and the sauce tasted a bit plain. The Dutch Baby, though, was really interesting. It was my first time trying one, and our waitress showed me how to put it together and eat it, which made it a fun experience. The first few bites were great, but the more I ate, the sweeter it got. If you have a sweet tooth, you'd probably love it!

Parking surrounds the building that looks like it has had many additions added on over the years. There's a barroom and a couple separate areas for seating. We came through the bar and headed to the dining room where we were told to sit where we liked. The young waitress was cordial and offered drinks. We both had a Bloody Mary which was standard with no over the top garnish besides olives. Tasty. The place offers all the diner foods and breakfast options. Nothing crazy and that's fine. Nice, clean and casual. I had a hot roast beef sandwich with white bread and fries dripping in that oddly satisfying brown gravy. M had broiled haddock with coleslaw. Both were very satisfying. Note that they don't carry gluten free rolls but the waitress went out of her way to inform us that, when we were ordering, she steered us away from an item that may have been a gluten issue. Thanks for that. If I lived a little closer, I could see myself hanging at the bar and ordering their food more often.

What I don't like are the floors. They're slippery, like a layer of humidity or oil slick on them and you really should be very careful walking around the restaurant. I don't know if that was a "summer" thing or not but I almost fell and so did my friend. I ordered a NY strip steak, medium well with sweet potato and broccoli, passing on the salad. All of it was tasty, if my steak wasn't a little too well, it would have been perfect. We had the spinach artichoke dip and it was so good, I wish I had some right now as I write this three days later. It comes with soft pita chips, perfection. We also tried the shrimp appetizer, so good! My friends enjoyed the Parmesan crusted steak, everything was really good. Our waitress was nice, no complaints there but I will complain about the women's restroom. Not sure what was happening there but it looked like someone ripped off the plastic to get to the covered toilet tissue and the wallpaper in the stall I enter was a shambles and ripped. The lock on my stall was also loose, almost coming off. They need to tend to this, the restrooms say a lot about the establishment so I hope they take care of this soon. Nice place for family or a date.

The sandwich is very good, but this time there seemed to be a bit more cheese, making the sandwich a little greasy.

There's no better way to celebrate National Cheesecake Day than at The Cheesecake Factory with…read moreHALF-PRICED CHEESECAKE SLICES. I made reservations well in advance and rolled in at the very senior-citizen-approved dinner time of 3:00 pm with seven of us, my kids and their friends in tow. Our waitress absolutely understood the assignment. She kept the kid-sized drinks coming (a strategic move to avoid 47 refill requests) and was incredibly patient, friendly, and personable with our crew. The hardest part of dining here is surviving the novel they call a menu, so of course, I did my homework beforehand. We started with the Jambalaya Arancini and Soft Pretzel Bites. The arancini were perfectly crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful inside (an instant reorder). The pretzel bites, though? The table demolished them. They also give you an absurd amount of beer cheese, which I happily took home... and may or may not have considered eating with a spoon. My Chicken Parmesan "Pizza Style" was hands down one of the best meals I've ever had at a chain restaurant. It's crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. My son completely annihilated every bite of the pasta in the center. Then came the main event, cheesecake. We tried Peach Raspberry, Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll, and Red Velvet. The Peach Raspberry is a standout: light, fresh, and perfect for summer. Even as someone who doesn't usually go for cinnamon roll desserts, I have to admit they absolutely nailed it. The girls loved the Red Velvet but wished for a bit more cake and a little less cream cheese. The biggest surprise? Feeding seven people for under $150. Thank you, Santa, for the Cheesecake Factory gift cards! I think we've officially started a new family tradition: National Cheesecake Day at The Cheesecake Factory every year.
