Catfish from the Cracker Barrel

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Cracker Barrel is the restaurant that is known as the country store. I have ate at Cracker Barrel many times, but never tried their catfish fillets before. Until today, I decided to give them a try and they were pretty good. You have two options when you order the catfish at Cracker Barrel. You can get your catfish grilled or fried. I went with the fried catfish fillets. I like catfish in general, but prefer the bone to be left in. Fish bones give fish a better taste and it seems the bones add to the flavor; while cooking the catfish. I’m picky on filets and normally they don’t taste right for me. The fried catfish fillets at Cracker Barrel met my approval rating for fish fillets.

You can get 3 side items when you select the catfish at Cracker Barrel. I assume it is like this for all Cracker Barrel restaurants. The meat loaf is good at Cracker Barrel and I knew it came with 3 side items. Normally you get 2 sides with your meat, but for the catfish or meat loaf, they will give you a 3rd side and there is no extra charge. I ate french fries, fried okra, and green beans as my 3 side items. My mama loves the hashbrown casserole at Cracker Barrel, so she gave me a little of that to try. I was pretty full after eating 2 pieces of fried catfish fillets, green beans, okra, french fries, hashbrown casserole, and a biscuit. It was a good meal and I did enjoy it. I probably won’t get any good food for tomorrow, so I will have to enjoy this Cracker Barrel meal for a long time.

Have you ever ate at the Cracker Barrel? If so, what do you like best on the Cracker Barrel menu? I don’t think every state has a Cracker Barrel, so you may not have one in your area.
