Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

We stopped at this Cracker Barrel on our way from Ontario, Canada to Atlanta, Georgia. We'd been on the road for about 9-10 hours. This location was right beside our hotel, the Hampton Inn (which was also good). I had the Fried Chicken Dinner and it was just as expected. The chicken batter was great, the chicken was good, and the vegetables were overcooked and mushy (as expected). My husband had the meatloaf and thought it was ok but could have used some gravy. The service was good and since it was later in the evening, the place was practically empty which was good for our first post-pandemic trip. It was exactly what we needed. Not fine dining but filling and plentiful. We also bought some mugs and 4 sticks of hard candy. The candy was supposed to be 4/$1 but they charged us 35 cents for each stick, bringing it to $1.40 for four. I asked and they said it was state taxes, which seems a little high. I think they got it wrong but that speaks to the poor quality of education these days.

The Cracker Barrel Old Country Store located in Lexington, Kentucky is a good restaurant and store. Our food was good. Our waitress new every option of the menu. The parking lot had plenty of space. We recommend this restaurant.
