22. The first and only time I ate there

Thu Aug 28, 2025, 09:11 AM

Aug 28

I got sick to my stomach. Threw up in the parking lot while customers walked around me to get in. I had taken my spouse and 2 tweens to eat there, They were still inside eating. I had finished and went to my car to get my cell.

I love biscuits and gravy, pulled pork with greens. Oh, I love southern greens. But the way the crackers barrel make it make me sick. When I cook it at home, it's fine.

The only other chain restaurants that are worse are Applebee's and Waffle House. Applebee's served me frozen fish and rock hard broccoli, then refused to take it back and cook it. Waffle House has great food but I always find a black hair in it. No matter which one I go to, there are black hairs in my eggs.
