If you do much traveling, you've seen Cracker Barrel
restaurants just about everywhere in the US. These popular eateries are usually
conveniently located at major highway exits, and are well advertised on
roadside billboards. We have visited several Cracker Barrel locations; the
Harker Heights, Texas store is one of the best.
What I do remember is having a cup of coffee in my hand and
taking the first sips. I suppose anyone's coffee would have done the trick that
day, however, on that fuzzy morning, the coffee at Cracker Barrel struck me as
especially tasty.
Then the food arrived, and it was perfect. Eggs, hash browns,
sausage, and toast – everything was excellent. Yes, it's true I was not totally
alert. Even with lingering anesthesia I can still taste the difference between
good food and not so good, and this was good food.
We have eaten at the Cracker Barrel in Harker Heights many
times; breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we have enjoyed great food and service
every time. I know they want customers to browse and hopefully buy merchandise
from the gift shop, and I know other reviewers have complained they were not
seated in a timely manner. Our experiences at this store have resulted in
immediate seating, friendly service, and excellent food.
Chances are you don't have to go far to find a Cracker
Barrel Restaurant. If you're in the Harker Heights, Texas area, stop in and
enjoy a great meal. And play some Peg Solitaire while you're there.
