Saw an ad that Cracker Barrel was welcoming RVs. I have been to some and like them a lot.

Their new biscuits are awful. We quit eating there.

We love Cracker Barrel, although we've never spent an overnight there. We aren't parking lot overnighters since we stop by 2 or 3 in the afternoon. But we do stop and eat at Cracker Barrel when we can. Unfortunately, they aren't in all states...like Oregon, for example.

The Next Exit lists in red the places that have RV/truck parking. Some of the Cracker Barrels listed did not really have room. We found one near Tallahassee, Florida that had parking tiers. The RV area was not marked and a large van would have had difficulty getting to it. On the other hand, we have always been treated as guests rather than customers at Cracker Barrels.

I agree that their new biscuit recipe is not as good. Wish Bob Evans had RV parking available.

We love eating at Cracker Barrel except the RV parking is designed for small units. We have a Dodge 2500 pulling a 35-ft American Star 5er. We always have to park far at the end of the lot in several spaces or find a large parking lot nearby. Their new biscuits are much worse than they used to have.

We love to go to Cracker Barrel. If we can take an afternon off, we sometimes take the motorhome to one 25 miles away and spend the night. We walk to an OutBack steak house for dinner and after spending the night in their quiet lot, we have their awsome breakfast and are back to our business by 10 AM the next morning. It is a real easy trip and gets us away from our business for a few hours. The Cracker Barrel has about 10 RV spaces in the back. Nothing like a campground, but a great easy place for a wuick getaway.

Looooove Cracker Barrels anywhere I can find one. Haven't tried their biscuit yet. I can usually count on a good meal at a reasonable price there. Parking can sometimes be a problem because they are so crowded. Popular place. Nancy H.

Have stayed overnight a couple of times at Cracker Barrel. Usually pull in after they have closed for the evening. No problems with parking. Will try to park somewhere in back if possible. I always set the alarm for 0630 so I can have coffee and breakfast inside before moving on. I try to get out of the lot before the breakfast rush. Never had anyone say anything to me. Drive a 33' National RV. Cracker Barrel is the best but haven't tried the new biscuits yet. I'll take my family and eat at a CB every chance I get because of their support for Rvers. Very Happy

Cracker Barrel is a good, affordable, pleasant place to eat...IF you have a few hours to spend. I find that almost all Cracker Barrels take a good hour to an hour and-a-half. Don't know why it takes so long. It's really irritating.

I have never been a fan of Cracker Barrel after getting into discussion with cashier about my meal. She felt that not charging me was fine resolution to a cold meal I did not eat. I tried to point out that I came to eat and Cracker Barrel failed to provide a meal for me to eat. It was sorta ridiculous to ask me "How was everything?" if she did not want to know. Tried to get comment card; however, she said company policy did not support that concept.

We've stayed at the Barrel many times. Never had a problem, although some of their RV spots are tight, we still managed to get in. Good food but does take a while. I guess they actually cook your order AFTER you order it, not before like McD's, etc.

I have stayed overnight in their parking lots a couple times. It's a better alternative than a truck stop. No big rigs idling and coming and going. You can't always park in their RV lanes though because people park cars and other vehicles that are not towing in the lanes. I wish Cracker Barrel would emphasize to all patrons that the RV lanes are for RVs or vehicles that are towing. Love the food and service; it's always been great.

Stayed at CB a few times: September, 2005 was awakened with a soft knock on the door. It was the manager of CB, handed me a menu and ask if we wanted coffee. The coffee was there about ten minutes later.

Thought I was dreaming. This was at the CB between Louisville and Frankfort, KY (Shelbyville)-Thanks, CB.

My wife and I stop there when traveling especially for a "book on tape." A great deal to have a book to listen to while on the road. Wish they would setup wi-fi. Even for a modest fee it would be a great service while traveling.
