Were on a road trip this past weekend and stopped at 7:20pm on Saturday. After waiting 30 minutes for a table (pretty standard), we were told they were out of Chicken and Dumplings, Fried Chicken (the entree of the day BTW), and Pot Roast. When I questioned "is this typical?" the servers response was "Yes, on a Saturday. We close at 10 and don't want to throw stuff away" Really? So, you are extremely busy and have a 30-minute wait for a table, are open for over 2 more hours, and you don't wish to serve what the customer would like to eat? Oh, and they didn't have corn bread either so I said what is the excuse there as it only takes 20 minutes to bake a muffin and her response was "no, it takes 30 minutes and then they have to cool". This was a 4-star server
IMO, Cracker Barrel has much bigger issues then the Denny's logo snafu!
