Now that I'm a bit older, I should give it another try.

depends where you eat at.
if you go to new orleans or atlanta, i have some places i can recommend that's not greasy... though i can't say that it won't be fat laden!

cracker barrel is fine for breakfast. i've never had anything else there. but their biscuits and their pancakes are pretty good.
i'm also a waffle house afficianado (the headquarters is in atlanta) and like it for what it is... a greasy spoon that's open 24 hours a day! i think of crackel barrel in the same vein... i like it for what it is, nothing more. i would never ever take a date their, but i would stop there on a road trip for a safe breakfast.
