“Happy Easter to all who celebrate. We went out for an impromptu brunch at Maple Street Biscuit Company. It's been quite sometime since we've been. I grabbed the Chix & Waffle and hubby chose the High Steaks Biscuits & Gravy.My chicken tenders were seasoned very well and I loved the flavor. The waffle is an Asiago Cheese & Bacon waffle. It was delicious and savory! Hubby enjoyed his biscuits and gravy. He was really impressed with the gravy. He said it had a black pepper forward flavor profile to it while being savory. He finished all of his, while I had a bit left over to bring home to enjoy later in the day. We spent roughly $36 for the 2 of us and was very pleased with the portion size.I just wish they could bring back their old Biscuit called the Reinhold (or was it Reinhart? I don't remember it's been so long. ?)“

We got there at the tail end of their serving hours and the cook whipped us up some hot, fresh fish, shrimp and fried green tomatoes, way more than we could eat. He then boxed up our huge piles of leftovers to take home! We will definitely be back!“

“The food is absolutely amazing and the service is even better. When I tell you the food is seasoned - please don’t pass the salt and pepper shakers - they aren’t needed (the chef handled that in the kitchen for you). Must I add this is super clean and fresh. If you want to enjoy a good drink the bartenders are the best and they aren’t stingy on the liquor. If you in the city living or visiting this is the best place to come. The vibe is always tight, I promise you won’t be disappointed. For us by us. Support Indulgence you won’t be disappointed and you might even skip Sunday dinner with the family for a southern plate here.“

“Well about 2 years ago I said to my son, there is no way a Chicken Salad restaurant will ever survive. Finally after 2 years I decided I had to try it because they keep opening up stores so something has to be right. Well I have to admit I was so wrong, the Chicken Salad was the best I’ve ever eaten, very very good. I was sitting eating my Chicken Salad when (did I mention I’m 77 yrs old) a young lady about 75 stopped and said, real men eat chicken salad, I swear to you that is a true story!!“

“Cracker Barrel on Lenoir Avenue hit it out of the park for our catering order. I spoke with two employees over the phone and three employees in-store and they were all fantastic - kind, courteous, and happy to help. I arrived about 10 minutes early and my food was piping hot and ready to go. We ordered the fried chicken tenders, carrots, green beans, and macaroni and cheese. Everything was delicious, hot, and packaged well. Our corn muffins and biscuits were hot and wonderful too. They included plenty of cutlery, plates, serving utensils, butter, and jams. This was a wonderful experience.In a world where service is terrible and restaurant food is sub-par, we were blown away by how awesome our experience was at this Cracker Barrel. We definitely recommend this location and will definitely be placing catering orders with them in the future.“

There’s a hint of warmth in the waffles (allspice? nutmeg? magic?) that puts them head and shoulders above your average c&w. The chicken sandwich with the jalapeño pimento cheese spread was delish. Everything came out fresh, hot, and fast. Can’t wait to visit again and try more off the menu!“

We are normally rather picky when it comes to breakfast food but all of it, the club specifically, tastes like it was made from someone’s southern grandma, the kind who calls you “baby” and “sugar”. This sandwich tasted like love and magic. Every single bite.“

I tried everything in those 10 days, I can honestly say it was some of the best BBQ I've had in a long time. Even better, all of their sides were great! Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the many types of sauces they had to offer. My father liked it just as much as me, and we loved that our plates fed us for more than one meal. If your in the area looking for a place to eat, just go ahead and stop looking, eat here!“
