This was largely based on a desire to see the various mascots, including both the Burger Family and Rootie.
The statues were great, but it was also fun to see some of the other decor.
The recent Cracker Barrel logo change controversy was ridiculous, but it led to many people lamenting the lack of personality with current designs. There was lots of personality here.
One twist I had not been expecting was that in addition to having spots where you could pull in for car service, there were also phones at the tables that you used to place orders.
No one is waiting on roller skates, but it is still nice to be waited on in a fast food environment, and the staff was friendly.
I had to get a root beer float as part of the experience, and I loved the presentation.
Okay, ice cream melting down the glass was an issue with this, which does not happen with the less picturesque options, but still, it looked good.
Looking at the family, I had questions. One, why is Mama Burger so small compared to Papa and Teen Burger, but also, I started remembering a Grandpa Burger.
In fact, the family at various times has included Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Buddy, Baby, and Sirloin Baby Burger twins.

Only Papa Burger still has associated meals in the United States, as the rest of the family belongs exclusively to the Canadian chain. The more you know.
Obviously it is a long way to go, and we probably are not going to go back. For that time, we still enjoyed the trip.
COVID: Not only is it indoors, but you have to eat so masking is not an option. However, you can eat in your car.
Accessibility: I can see navigation being a little tricky, though not impossible, based on the widths of the aisles. There was a woman with a walker who seemed to be having a hard time.
This is again an area where the drive-up option may be your best bet for getting an old fashioned experience but still having ease and comfort.
It was a fun family trip.
