Cracker Barrel is beloved (and sometimes loathed) for its downhome feel, which includes rocking chairs on the front porch, a gift store that's impossible to escape, and big, diner-style meals.
In their comments on the Westword Facebook page and Instagram, readers serve up plenty of opinions of Cracker Barrel. Says Delaine:
Love this! It is a great place! The store is fun!!Recalls Charlie:
Loved their biscuits and gravy and breakfast since I was a kid.Adds Meredith:
Excited to go. I love the catfish!Counters Chris:
There is sooooo many better options in Denver. Skip Cracker Barrel.Adds Derek:
Stop bringing chains to Denver!Warns Peter:
If you want bland food that’s got enough salt to melt the snow off the entire I-70 with no other discernible taste, all in a quaint “welcome back to Jim Crow-era America” vibe, then Crack B is absolutely the place for you.Responds Spencer:
If food has enough salt on it "to melt the snow off the entire I-70," then how can it also be bland? Wouldn't it just taste incredibly salty? Sure, it would be disgusting, unless you love a ton of salt, but hardly bland. And no, I'm not sticking up for Cracker Barrel. I'm not a big fan, though I don't hate. I had a burger there about ten, twelve years ago and it was okay.Counters Kelsey:
Couldn’t be more bland than the food from other restaurants in Denver.Replies Shay:
There are plenty of good, locally owned restaurants in Denver. They need your patronage; skip the national chains.Concludes Michael:
Corporate food still sucks.Have you ever been to a Cracker Barrel? Will you go to this one? Post a comment or share your thoughts at [email protected].
