We went to CC not CB

Lisa and I meet for dinner occasionally. Just the girls! No kids or husbands allowed!
We normally meet at Cracker Barrel (CB) but last night went to Corner Cafe (CC) for a change of pace. Lisa commented the only thing CC was lacking were the rocking chairs out front, how were we to 'rock' off the food we just ate?!

At CB we meet early enough that our fellow patrons are the average age of 70 plus! Oh we laugh and have a good time with it. We're the youngest there! At CC there is a wide range of folk and even at 5:30p there was a wait time of 5-10 minutes. (If you haven't tried it, you should as you are missing out!)

BUT don't order the Homemade Chicken & Noodle Dinner and I'll tell you why. This is how the description reads: "Real comfort food! Hand-rolled noodles,hunks of chicken in a rich creamy broth makes this a true delight!" And it has the little icon next to it to show it's a favorite. I ordered this as I wanted to try something different from what I usually order like breakfast or the tenderloin. And this MUST be good as it had the icon! I am thinking its BIG chucks of chicken with LOTS of noodles in a CREAMY broth. I saw our waitress heading to our table with our food and I start to salivate! She brought me a bowl of chicken noodle soup... I thought, "Wow, this is nothing as I expected." Disappointment big time. I had broth but their definition of 'creamy' is sure different than mine. I may of had a whole 3 noodles and a few shreds of chicken. It was good for SOUP but that's not what I ordered. Then our waitress wasn't any thing of average. I think she was just dumped off in front of the restaurant doors that night from the turnip truck! "Doot Dah Do"

Happens every time. I should just stick to what I know as Lisa did. She had the opened face chicken fried chicken sandwich and ooh did it look good. She offered half but I declined. I know what to order next time!

After dinner we headed to Dress Barn and K & G Fashions to find her daughter a communion dress. Dress Barn had some really nice clothes on the skinny side. Makes me want to lose weight even faster. We looked on the women's side too but that style was 'grandma' old. We lucked out at K & G. While there we looked at the purses in which we rolled laughing as they had a purse with brass knuckle handles. I put it on and told Lisa I was going to beat her down with my purse! LOL! It was only 9.99 and came in gold! Should have picked it up!

OK, well, just found out that out layoff announcements have been put on hold for another week. Lucky me. Guess I should do some work! :)

Peace

I want to try to the CC but everytime we drive by it looks so crowded. I am not into waiting 20-30 minutes for a table! I have heard it is good though...I just know NOT what to order!

That is too funny about the waitress!

Does CC have a country store too?

No country store. It does look crowed always. But the normal wait isn't long at all. OR try it at an off peak time.
