    Have you tried literally anywhere else? Every few years my wife convinces me to try it again and it’s always the worst. Are there really no local breakfast places around?

      Some people out there are really reluctant to branch out and try anything different. There’s a million places around me selling the same food but better, but some people just want to go to cracker barrel.

      Old people especially, but also some people with, for example, autism, ARFID, etc. can be really picky about where they’ll eat, and sometimes it’s just not worth the aggravation of trying to get them to try something new.

      Hell, I have some friends who aren’t even particularly picky who can be reluctant to try out new places. Restaurants aren’t cheap, I can understand being reluctant to spend money on food you’re not sure you’re going to like.

        That and sometimes you have to go to the same restaurant a few times until you find the dishes that are good there…

      I don’t know. I don’t eat there often, but pretty much everything they make is good. I can’t even think of another place that makes chicken and dumplings… For that style of food, I would always take a higher end one off restaurant in the Carolina. But for something ubiquitous, it is pretty much the only option, and it isn’t as expensive as Shatley Springs or something.

      Honestly, I would have tried it again more recently if it weren’t for the fact that they don’t seem to have any interest in accommodating vegetarians at all. Also, I think a few of them closed in Denver area.
