Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Non-conservatives give a shit about cracker barrel?
I gotta meet up with the old people in my family somewhere. I'm not having them in my house are you crazy
Have you tried literally anywhere else? Every few years my wife convinces me to try it again and it's always the worst. Are there really no local breakfast places around?
Some people out there are really reluctant to branch out and try anything different. There's a million places around me selling the same food but better, but some people just want to go to cracker barrel.
Old people especially, but also some people with, for example, autism, ARFID, etc. can be really picky about where they'll eat, and sometimes it's just not worth the aggravation of trying to get them to try something new.
Hell, I have some friends who aren't even particularly picky who can be reluctant to try out new places. Restaurants aren't cheap, I can understand being reluctant to spend money on food you're not sure you're going to like.
That and sometimes you have to go to the same restaurant a few times until you find the dishes that are good there...
Fortunately, I’ve got a few good diners to choose from
I don't know. I don't eat there often, but pretty much everything they make is good. I can't even think of another place that makes chicken and dumplings... For that style food, I would always take a higher end one off restaurant in the Carolina. But for something ubiquitous, it is pretty much the only option, and it isn't as expensive as Shatley Springs or something.
Honestly, I would have tried it again more recently if it weren't for the fact that they don't seem to have any interest in accommodating vegetarians at all. Also, I think a few of them closed in Denver area.
LOL, that's been the only reason I've ever set foot in one. People who were very much older in my extended family liked the place....and so for whatever reason, I kind of thought of the place like Grange halls - something the older bunch have an affinity for, but I don't quite understand how it fits into my life in the here and now. :/
I'm a Leftist Progressive living in North Carolina, and I like Cracker Barrel
Uhhh, there's a shit ton of Cracker Barrels in NY, going to Cracker Barrel for family meet ups and shit was a staple in my family and made precious childhood memories for me, and we're black as hell. Plenty of non conservatives love CB. There's a shit ton black people makes jokes online rn about missing the "segregation" vibes of CB.
I will never forget their Coca-Cola fudge cake.
nope, because its not near where we live. Only cons ever cared about this.
Nope
People talked about here a lot, I had never even heard of it before
I think I went there twice before they shut down here. I mean, it wasn't AWFUL. I'd rather eat at a local place though.
