It was the first time I'd ever tried a Cracker Barrel while travelling around the US. After taking some time looking around Coronado Heights Castle, I was looking for somewhere good to eat and thought I'd give here a go. First impressions were good, with plenty of seating/rocking chairs outside, if you're waiting for a table or just want to take the weight off your feet for a short while. For saying it was a Sunday, I didn't have to wait at all to be seated by the pleasant restaurant staff. Loved the interior and the decor, the various things on the wall. Had those genuine country vibes going on. Lisa, my server, was fabulous! She was SUPER friendly and pleasant from beginning to end, asking me about where I was from and my trip, making really polite conversation and taking a genuine interest. I decided on the meatloaf, with sides of mac 'n' cheese, mashed potato and steamed broccoli (also got a freshly made biscuit with apple butter... The BEST!!) The portion size was great and the meatloaf was really tasty (impressed with how good it was!) Lisa asked periodically how everything was and checked to see if I was okay, sorting me out another soda once mine had almost gone. And the most impressive thing, was the price!! I can't believe what good value it was, for all that I had. Certainly hit the spot very nicely, and I cannot thank Lisa enough for her warm hospitality and brilliant customer service! If you're in the area and looking for somewhere to eat, this is the place to go!!!
