    Default A dining question, but not about the food!

    This may seem like an obscure question, but I'm trying to recall the name of a place in Orlando. I believe we ate breakfast there a few times.

    The thing that makes it stand out is that all of the table places were given a little wooden versions of different peg solitaire games to keep you entertained whilst waiting. Then if you enjoyed these games you could purchase one after your meal. I was a little 6 year old then and thoroughly enjoyed some of the unique solitaire versions that I bought a few and played them on the rest of the trip.

    Anyone have any idea of this location?
    Thanks x

    I don't know how old this place is, or even if it is in Orlando, but a place I know of that would have that kind of entertainment and store, is a restaurant we have called The Cracker Barrell.

    I have seen that peg game on many different restaurant's tables, from chains to small independents.
    As far as Cracker Barrel goes, ate there once, never again. UGH!!!

    I've eaten at cracker barrels before and never had a bad meal! Games at the tables, with good food, can't be wrong! When the cracker barrel closed out in my neck of the woods was a sad day!

    Cracker Barrel is far from bad! Granted, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but as far as good, relatively authentic, southern food goes, Cracker Barrel is pretty high on the list IMHO.

    Getting decent biscuits and gravy in the Pacific Northwest is almost impossible. Cracker Barrel gives us that fix when we're at WDW.

    We live in the SOUTH and we LOVE Cracker Barrel restaurants. They are a quality chain that caters to folks traveling via Interstate Routes or are lucky enough to live close by. Always located right off the exit in sight from the Interstate your traveling. Usually expect the same food items, quality (excellent) and taste of food and good stuff for traveling by car/bus or truck, regardless of what US State your traveling. Books on tape can be rented and then returned at any Cracker Barrel on your trip.
    GREAT BREAKFAST - Big enough to share
    Country Ham, homemade biscuts/gravy, blackberry jam, hot maple syrup....dang I'm getting hungry.
    Meatloaf, Fried Chicken, Catfish, mash potatoes ...still getting hungry.
    Strawberry shortcake, Pies, cakes.

    Said Enough ? Don't just stop for the peg board game.......Eat Eat Eat

    Oh yeah, Cracker Barrel is a staple in the South,
    and the food is usually pretty good there, even the grits!

    Cracker Barrel. We have never had a bad meal there. IMO meals there are heavy, but good.

    We're another family who loves Cracker Barrel! DD enjoyed the peg game so much, we have bought our own.

    We don't have any here in Canada, so it is part of our tradition, to eat on one on our way to Disney.
