text: nn starsnnFirst meal in Charlotte straight from CLTs Douglas Airport This location is my BILs fave location Replete w Cracker Barrels large dining room capacity its signature shop filled w oldtime memorabilia and wrapped candies goats milk lotions and car scents and a large selection of rocking chairs for sale in the front this Cracker Barrel does stand out as having better customer service than what I have experienced elsewhere We used to visit CBs on childhood road trips but I could probably count on one hand the number of visits I have made in the past decade or twonnMom and I shared the Country Boy Breakfast well she had the eggs a little slice of the steak and some of the biscuits and hash brown casserole I tried to enjoy the rest but the only item I appreciated was the dish of fried apples While the steak was flavorful it was actually overseasoned this dish haunted me all day I did not enjoy its processed texture which came across to me as a chopped steak and not a nice piece of USDA choice The casserole was gummy thus inedible and the biscuits were dry dry dry I overcame my wariness to try the fried apples which glistened from the cornstarch that thickened the sauce just so that I could consume a part of a dry biscuit Ironic then that out of the entire entree ensemble all I can recommend are the apples I believe Mom enjoyed the eggsnnI did get to try my BILs French toast special which is your traditional French toast but w more cheesecake frosting and maplesyrup goodness I found its sweetness a little cloying in the end but I would take this over the disaster that was the Country Boy
