Greg do you prefer Cracker Barrell or Bob Evans?

stupid

LOVE Cracker Barrel!

Oh, shut the fuck up, OP.

You don't yell "Here Girl! " to a mangy dog.

As long as my party is white and not too faggy - Crackers Barrel

Cracker Barrell is WOKE! I ain't eatin' there no more!

[quote] Oh, shut the fuck up, OP. You don't yell "Here Girl! " to a mangy dog.

What trash you are, R3.

I don't love either, but definitely Bob Evans. All I've had at either is breakfast. Cracker Barrell is always a circus.

The Hashbrown Casserole and Cocoa Cola cake are the only two items I like at Cracker Barrel.

Timmy has several reviews of their food, here is one of his most recent.

OP, thanks for asking, but I’m not familiar enough with either restaurant to comment.

I did once take a group of high school students to a Golden Corral for what we thought would be breakfast but was really lunch. Those kids were so upset that we were eating in such a horrible place and they were right. It was depressing and barely edible.

I do know someone who told me that the Bob Evans prepared mashed potatoes that one can find in most supermarkets are actually quite good. I’ve never tried them, so I have no opinion on the matter.

OP, granulated sugar causes cake frosting to be gritty.

Here’s a recipe for you.

I should have mentioned that we were on a service trip somewhere in the Midwest or the south I think. As far as I know, there are no Golden Corrals in Massachusetts.

Once again, wrong

R9 we call the golden coral the pigateria as everyones plates are piled high

I'm surprised Golden Corral is still around. Like Western Sizzlin it seemed to be a sub-Ponderosa operation that you fiund in small southern towns or parts of the rural Midwest like Indiana. Even people who went to Pnderosa once in awhile thought these places sucked.

My go-to at Cracker Barrel, OP, when visiting my late parents in the Midwest, was chicken and dumplings, which I liked as a kid. And chocolate milk.

I actually liked the front part of the restaurant, with all of the items for sale.

[quote] I do know someone who told me that the Bob Evans prepared mashed potatoes that one can find in most supermarkets are actually quite good.

I can actually eat and enjoy a family size of the Bob Evans store-bought macaroni and cheese. It is pretty salty, though, as I always develop a thirst at some point after eating it. The salt isn't really obvious when eating it, though. Good comfort food.

He's worked at both.

Cracker Barrel is kinda disappointing but I've found it depends on where you go really. But it's still mostly small portions, reheated tasting and textured food, but an overall nice atmosphere and cute things at their shop area.

Bob Evans has been consistently good from what I've seen over the years. Yes, their turkey and dressing meal is DELICIOUS!!!! just sometimes they hardly give more than just like three forkfuls of the mashed potatoes at some locations, though. They also do holiday meal bundles and their pumpkin pie is delicious. But, if you ever do the holiday family meal bundles, they use a different kind of turkey from their in-store individual meal one for the big version. Its different every year, though.

Definitely Bob Evans. All good food. But found some of the locations in the more isolated areas tend to have lower quality but still good. Way better than Cracker Barrel. Yes, Bob Evans microwaves some of their food but they also mix and prepare there and add things in. Cracker Barrel is bland and tastes like it was microwaved over and over. No real taste. Only thing that kinda did was their country fried steak and gravy or whatever it was and their steak fries. Chicken and dumplings meal was like eating microwaved old tasteless dough and done eating in two minutes.

I prefer Bob Evans, only because their ice cubes are tastier than Cracker Barrel's taste-free cubes.

But of course, no one turns out a tastier ice cube than moi!!!! Simply the best, better than all the rest. And don't forget what culinary wonders I work with prunes.

I've only been to Cracker Barrel and I found their breakfast was fine, but I didn't care for their lunch/dinner items.

..........

Born and raised in the south, I've traveled all over, eaten in all kinds of places, but never a Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans.

Christ, you people are trashy.

Bob Evans is a restaurant? I'm in Houston. Never seen one but we do have Cracker Barrel. My 90 yo dad loves breakfast there if you can get in. Always a wait. I've bought some really xmas ornaments over the years at the little shop in front. The breakfast is okay. Biscuits were good but the lunch/dinner is extremely unimpressive.

Matt from Pittsburgh, aka Defacto, is especially desperate on the weekends.

He takes a break from posting racist and anti-democratic pot-stirring posts to cosplay his latest character designed to attract the sympathy of older gay men. Yes, he’s thar pathetic.

No one gives a shit about his latest lame cosplay, so he posts questions to it to pretend people do. Cringe-inducing.

[quote] Once again, wrong

Haha…R12, I’m wrong once again?

When was I last wrong?

I also can’t say I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know there was a Golden Corral in Massachusetts.

You seem easily amused, researching Golden Corral locations.

Quick! Is there a Ponderosa nearby?

Cracker Barrel. Are they still racist? I know they paid oit a settlement. I'm a total whore for that gift shop and all its seasonal/holiday theming amd decorations (especially between September and December), though I've only ever purchased items two or three times.

But when I went last Fall, the portions were pathetic. I realize this country has an obesity problem, and I'm aware of inflation, but this was on another level. I haven't been back. But I don't eat that kind of food often, anyway.

What is a Cracker BarrelL, OP?

Block troll summoners.

R12 is a Golden Corral fan. I, on the other hand, would never set foot in a Golden Corral again. It is beyond terrible.

I'm sorry it's in Massachusetts, but happily there is but one location—Springfield, MA.

Springfield is a real shithole.

Springfield as a whole has a 32% poverty rate, which compares to the statewide Massachusetts rate of 11% and Springfield's violent crime rate was higher than the national rate in 2020.

You lost me at Cocoa Cola cake.

Cracker Barrel ...Yuk!

Never go to a Golden Corral, though. Got sick twice after eating at two different ones many years ago and the "fresh" plates they have stacked that you grab from smelled of actual steaming poop that final time. Told the managers and they said they'd check into it and gave us a separate group of plates. Food seemed alright but had bad runs overnight and into the next day, so did my hubby. That was the last time. Read and heard similar kinda stories about Corrals anywhere, so never again.

I like Bob’s Big Boy

Explosive diarrhea!

I do love Golden Corral's fresh rolls, though.

Are these buffet restaurants? I ate at one maybe twelve years ago and it was disgusting. They squeegeed water off the tables to clean them between seatings. I got one plate of food. It was miserable. I didn't go back for more. The only all-you-can-eat restaurants I've been to since are sushi places at which you can order what you want (there's another kind, where they decide what to give you, and I don't like everything).

I had breakfast at a Bob Evans while sitting at the counter. It was alright. I haven't gone back.

It's funny you say that, R36. I forgot about the rolls.

Every so often a bell would ring, which was the way GC announced that another pan of freshly baked and buttered yeast rolls were being brought out. They were the highlight of our visit to Golden Corral.

R37, Golden Corral is a buffet restaurant.

I don't know about Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans.

Disgusting is the right word for Golden Corral.

I haven't had the pleasure of either.

I typically don't like breakfast foods but I get a craving for biscuits and gravy once in a while. Bob Evans has delicious biscuits and gravy. I don't know how Cracker Barrell gets away with the wallpaper paste and hockey pucks they call biscuits/gravy.

Those places are beneath Greg!

They really are, R42.

I know, Greg! How dare they ask such questions?

Te amo! 😘

Mwah, R42!

❤ , Greg!

Greg is drunk already

[quote] Greg is drunk already

No judgment here, R47, but I am sober as a judge.

And I love cocktails and wine, but I do not get drunk.

I wouldn't mind being the only person there. But the Deplorable hillbilly Haters they're going to sit you next to... Staring at you because they've heard about homosexuals, but never seen one up close. It's like they're at the zoo.

My partner and I would slum it at Golden Corral sometimes in the pre-Covid Beforetimes. We would never do it now, post-pandemic.

The food is cafeteria quality, so you learn to avoid certain things, like pizza. The salad bar was decent and you could make a meal just from that, but I would always get the fries and whatever fried garbage, usually fish or chicken strips, was on offer. Another draw was the soft serve ice cream bar. It was all just basic junk food, really, and plenty of it.

Greg, you are overdoing it and trust me when I say, you are headed for all fall. It’s a honeymoon that never lasts.

This thread is hilarious when you have Greg blocked.

Just how am I overdoing it?

Are you one of those who thinks I am the OP here?

[quote] This thread is hilarious when you have Greg blocked.

Then you, R52, are very easily amused. This thread is hardly what I’d call hilarious.

To each his own.

I just mean you probably think you are beloved — and don’t get me wrong, right now you are that.

But many of us know from experience that this is a honeymoon that never lasts.

Datalounge will eventually turn on you.

My mom loves Cracker Barrell, so I have to oblige on occasion. I always leave hungry and never eat large meals to begin with. The food is marginal at best and have definitely had more tasty TV dinners.

It’s B-A-R-R-E-L.

Beloved? Only in its mind. The thing is reviled.

Thanks for the clarification, R55. However, the truth is I enjoy a polite and friendly exchange on here. For some reason, there are some people who don't like me at all (some even express hatred) and I sometimes resort to responding in kind. I am not proud of this. That said, I am aware of the fickle nature of DL and am not at all concerned about a "honeymoon that never lasts."

I just do what I do. At some point I will tire of the insane comments about my sock puppets, racist tendencies, and my recipe stealing, and likely take a break from posting here, just as I have done in the past. If the whole of DL turns on me, oh well.

[quote] Beloved? Only in its mind. The thing is reviled.

See what I mean?

There are some horrible, unkind, and probably unhappy individuals out here who feel the need to act like R58.

As many have said, these types of comments probably come from jealousy, but it gets tiresome.

Cracker Barrel. I love that place more than I generally admit publicly.

Their fried egg and tomato sandwich with a side of hashbrown casserole is quite good. Or the chicken fried chicken.

Why are threads being deleted?

Does anyone know if there is a Golden Corral in or near New York? I have relatives near there and if I get back to the USA it is something I'd like to experience

this thread is hilarious when you can't see greg's posts

Then you, [R54], are very easily amused. This thread is hardly what I’d call hilarious.

To each his own.

Golden Corral makes some fantastic Bourbon Chicken, but I thought they went out of business due to Covid. The one in my town never reopened after the pandemic. Also, Cracker Barrel's claim to fame is always being right off highway exits. Most of their traffic is travelers. Bob Evans is absolutely atrocious. Just NO.

Gregório, you should start charging for your advice.

Well one of us had to have a rack

[quote] Gregório, you should start charging for your advice.

That's a very good idea.

Cracker Barrel’s food is mad salty…

I mentioned to my Southern colleagues that I'd had my first Cracker Barrell and Bob Evans experiences recently. They insisted that although most of the food at Cracker Barrell is bland A.F. that their pancakes are very good -- with those crispy, caramelized edges that are a must. I will report back.

r63, yes, in the Bronx. It opened in 2020, so perhaps they have good pandemic protocols in place. It's about a mile walk from either a 5 train or a 6 train.

R72 thank you for that! Much appreciated, looks like a fine dining experience to savour. Mile walk is nothing for me, looks like an easy walk from the NY Botanical Garden and Zoo which I wouldnt mind seeing anyway

gerg is talking to itself again

Oh, dear.

Fuck off, R74.

But at least you know how to spell ‘barrel’.
