A Country Breakfast in Delaware

A Country  Breakfast in Delaware

This weekend, the stress brought by the end of the year permeated heavily through my house. My older sister, Kyla, and I both scrambled to finish study guides and end of year projects as quickly as possible. The obvious lack of sleep and less than healthy diets in an effort to continue working were beginning to worry my mom, so to try and keep us calm, my mom and dad took us to a family breakfast at Cracker Barrel.

Cracker Barrel is a great restaurant not just because of the food, but the store that is set up in front of the seating area. Called the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, they offer almost everything: clothes, rocking chairs, board games, stuffed animals, and old time candy bars. Every time we come to Cracker Barrel, we make sure to look through the store, and my sister and I make sure to play a few games of checkers before we are ushered to our seats.

Cracker Barrel’s food does not stand second best to its store, though. I have not yet tried everything on Cracker Barrel’s menu, by breakfast meals like the buttermilk pancakes with fruit topping, biscuits with apple butter, and the Momma’s French Toast Breakfast are some of my favorite things to order. My dad however, we probably suggest the Double Meat Breakfast, which serves three eggs, a full order of bacon, and sausage patties.

My family and I aren’t regulars at Cracker Barrel, so we don’t have as much experience with the menu as other families. For instance, after we were served this morning, I made sure to ask one family if they were regulars at Cracker Barrel and what they’re experience was. One of the girls responded, “Well, we like to come to Cracker Barrel at the end of the month as a family just for a quick breakfast. The food has always been good for us and the service never less than the best.” For a country style breakfast close to home, I suggest stopping by Cracker Barrel.
