Every restaurant in the universe is NOT at all healthy. Plus, everything these days seems to have some supposed thing that is bad &/or gonna give you some kind of problem.
No one is advocating these types of meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday. But for a treat once a month or so won't hurt one bit. Life is short, enjoy the journey.
The only people my boyfriend and I saw wearing there were what some would call "white trash or trailer park trash". As it was my first time, I was still greatly disappointed. The waitress sat us in a supposedly non-smoking section, but we could smell it and a whole table if this family-except for the far little kids-were smoking. Then the pineapple was hard and barely digestible. Still, the rest of the food tastes ok. Except for food items, just about the other items sold in the shop were made in Red China. Probably made with lead, cadmium, and melanine: all toxic.
+Gregory Everson ... ... I SERIOUSLY doubt that, "REAL" southern cooking involves it being poured out of a can! I've been there too, many times! You reminded me of a gentleman that argued that, the reason they called it corn bread, was because of a baking vessel that made it, "look" like, half an ear of corn. I guess beings you've been to the South, you will know they call a tampon, A Yankee. "keep the faith people, and keep on keeping on"
My great-grandmother lived to be 98 eating "Southern-style" cooking every day of her life... not to mention she also had a glass of "medicine (home made wine)" twice a day and smoked a traditional Cherokee clay pipe. Guess people were tougher back then and not the weenies they are today (a.k.a. survival of the fittest). Or perhaps they didn't have the numerous government agencies to "protect" them as we have nowadays. Rest in peace now Grammy and congratulations on a life well lived.
Um HELLO any time u see something on a menu that says SOUTHERN FRIED who the hell expect health food 🤔 it’s something a person should have when they want to indulge not eat everyday at every meal 😒
P La I agree with you. Also, most people eat based on how active they'll be in the day. A meal like this is for someone that's going to do a lot of physical labor in the day.
My best friend worked out like crazy and worried about calories and mg's of fat and died at 22 yrs of age of stomach cancer. I say enjoy life and grandpa's country fried breakfast because only God knows how long you have on earth.
First off our dumplings are real and they are delicious (when fresh). Second the apple dumpling is usually ordered to split between couples not for one person to chow down on. In fact I’ve never had a single person order it for themselves and I’m a server and cook there. Third if you don’t like the regular meals we offer that are amazingly good like our grandpas country fried breakfast then you should look at our wholesome fixings side of the menu for lunch AND dinner. Eggs whites, turkey sausage, grilled chicken, no butter in any food. No bread goes with it and it’s a lot healthier than three pancakes and tastes just fine.
My paw paw ate like that his entire life and was about a 140 lbs when he died. He would eat half pound of bacon and a can of biscuits every morning not to mention the jelly, molasses and honey
i worked here for my first waitress job and fell in love with all the new meals and desserts and gained so much weight unfortunately. its a great southern place occasionally but not all the time
Oh look, it's another channel lecturing people on what they should do with their lives. Someone like me, who exercises everyday, likes to eat junk once a week. It's so obnoxious to listen to this squeaky voice tell people what they should and shouldn't eat. BTW, it's not informative, it's annoying.
B Davis it doesn’t. I assumed it was going to expose things such as how they are cooked or they are frozen, not fresh. Etc. I didn’t think it was going to tell me that deep fried steak with white graft was bad for my health, and the TH-cam voice was going to tell me it’s bad for my health and not to eat it. It’s fried steak and gravy, no F’N shit it’s not healthy!
And the description of the chicken and dumplings is from somebody who is British, which means they have no clue about southern dumplings. Not only is his description not fair, it is not accurate.
I thought this was going to be along the lines of employees warning about old meat or something, but it's just some "eat this not that" type warning. I eat at CB once or twice per year on a road trip and I'm just fine.
My wife & I LOVE the breakfasts from CB. I switched from the one where you get 1 or 2 of everything (sans pancakes), to the pancake breakfast with practically everything. Delicious. You seem to forget the word “Recommended”. Doesn’t mean “Mandatory"
Goodness... This lady is no fun. At least I know what to order next time I go there- the cheeseburger and apple dumpling for dessert, maybe a side of mac and cheese. Yum. Hon, everyone knows this is not the place to get a kale sandwich on whole wheat bread.
After working there for the longest 2 years of my life, seeing how the gravy is made and what it looks like when it sits too long..yeah. I'd skip it too 0__0
I am 55 years old,6' 1" and I weigh 195lbs. In High School I only weighed 180lbs as a senior. I am pretty sure I will make it another 30 years, thanks!
Tastes canned, i have to agree. Youre better off making it homemade with some sausage drippins and butter add flour, water, and cracked pepper and tada. Sausage gravey is literallybtge easiest thing in the world to make
Y'all are aware there's this thing called a take-home container, right? In other words, you don't have to eat the whole meal all at once? Even the dessert?
The fact that they had to use calories as the only way to judge it just says how good the food is to the public. (And it is personal preference over what is disgusting or not)
The thing is you can eat anything in excess even fruit/vegetables. One meal is not going to ruin your whole diet or make you unhealthy. It's the people who eat like this everyday who are unhealthy.
If I'm on vacation food is part of the journey and a salad is not the destination. What's a road trip with out junk and heartburn. I prefer to live dangerously...
One generally doesn't go to the barrel for healthy eating. It's down home cookin and not health food cookin. I've been eating there for almost 30 years and could never grow tired of it.. LONG LIVE THE BARREL!!!
Okay...first of all....Anyone who goes out a restaurant should not expect there to be anything healthy on the menu. Yes, some restaurants do offer lighter/healthier options, but realistically most menu items at any restaurants are not going to be healthy. This is why Eating Dinner Out is usually a once in a while thing.
Sodium is generally excessive in most restaurants. Instead of calorie counting on food labels I would rather a rate of 1-10 on nutritional value. I don't mind a few extra calories if I am benefiting from great nutrition.
Thought you were going to say the food was bad. What IS dangerous is telling me what i should eat. Could be DEADLY to you. Breakfast for me consists of 8 Jumbo eggs, cheese and 3/4 pounds of bacon.
This video is based on "daily recommended" measures for people who do nothing all day. This is a perfect video for most millennials, as so many of them do nothing.
Gulp... early in our married years, my hubby and I would split the grandpas breakfast. Well... still a lot of calories, but better than eating it by yourself.
Nutritionals are available on foods at pretty much all national chains. I was expecting you to show something noteworthy. Note, your downvotes are catching your upvotes.
former employee here: the pancakes are fresh made every time. the biscuits are fresh baked from scratch multiple times a day. the croutons are also fresh baked every day. none of the fruit toppings are fresh. Pretty much nothing else is fresh. The grits are, but almost everything else is right out of the freezer. If you want a fresh meal, go for something with biscuits, pancakes, or a salad.
Ok honestly if you’re going to bash every food item there you need to include one or two good items and don’t make it the healthiest option I want you to put a tasty common option that won’t kill you
Carol Gage Just like matzo balls. One faction strives for fluffy, wet-cotton-candy matzo balls that practically float out of the pot. The other swears by dense, chewy cannonballs. It all depends on the type your family's cherished recipe makes, so they're actually both right!
i love how the FIRST thing y'all list is the momma's pancake breakfast.. which is what my mom and i have been ordering and splitting with eachother, for years. lolol no regrets, i love those pancakes!
Hey I might eat there maybe 3-4 times a year, so screw it I'm gonna enjoy the meal. It's trying to get the family past the store on the way out.that area is more dangerous than the meal.
i do the same southern style meals at home...reduced fat and sugar and salt..i only evr use kosher or himmalayan rock salt(do you know refined salt contains bleach to "purify" it!!) use things like pam/fry light and butter buds for flavour..and i can tell ya..it all tastes awesome i use bacon medalions or thin cut bacon joint as fat free as possible...hence why ive lost over 130lb and beaten diabetes!
I love this place. Yes it reminds you of southern food. Also most southern food is not healthy. Have you counted all the calories in a baked Mac and cheese? Damn I want one now.
Thanks for watching! Are there any other restaurant foods you'd like us to profile?

Oh shit! A southern styled restraunt is bad for you!? Thanks for letting me know.
None of their shit is "country" or "southern" food.

none of it is healthy either. what do these health nuts expect? we all should starve ourselves?
Hears the term “heart-stopping”... I regret nothing, NOTHING!!!

Mine lived to 99 1/2 , cooked that everyday, smoked Winston's, had a bourbon and branch every afternoon and a bloody Mary after church on Sundays
Things you should never watch on TH-cam. THIS VIDEO.Sorry, we can't all eat greens and drink wheatgrass.
Lewis57 You don’t have to eat “wheat greens” to eat something more healthy than that!
You mean...you won’t eat wheatgrass
Only way I would greens or wheatgrass is if I cold wash it down with a big cup of hot melted lard 😉😉😉

Never heard of Crackler Barrel till this video. Now I wanna go! All the food seems BEYOND GOOD!!
8th Hokage same
Nope, it's pretty mediocre. Not terrible. But it's down home flavors that North Americans are familiar with...
It's really good. I go there whenever I see one. Which is about once every two years or so. 😉
8th Hokage I love it!
8th Hokage you should try there pancakes it's so good
This is ridiculous. This food is not going to kill you unless you eat it every day.
My paw paw ate like that his entire life and was about a 140 lbs when he died. He would eat half pound of bacon and a can of biscuits every morning not to mention the jelly, molasses and honey

Let’s all eat healthy. We’ll all have an order of low cal water and air!!!! Provided your water doesn’t have lead and your air isn’t car fumes!! 😂😂😂
Why would you go out to eat for healthy food. The point of eating out is to let loose and have fun
Mashed " go eat a salad at Subway instead"
Mashed 2 months later " what not to order at Subway: salads"

Well if you eat there every day I can see a problem but once in a great while not much you can say the same thing about anyplace
But us country fried Southerners sure know how to cook some dang goooooooooooooooooood food.
Goodness... This lady is no fun. At least I know what to order next time I go there- the cheeseburger and apple dumpling for dessert, maybe a side of mac and cheese. Yum. Hon, everyone knows this is not the place to get a kale sandwich on whole wheat bread.
I work here and I love this stuff
magical sand gaming same!
she's not very good at convincing me gonna eat the whole menu lol
Thanks for this video, I laughed all the way through it. Living life on the ragged edge of danger is what gives me joy.
Another silly nutrition video! Eat what you want, but do it in moderation. But, their white gravy is not good.
After working there for the longest 2 years of my life, seeing how the gravy is made and what it looks like when it sits too long..yeah. I'd skip it too 0__0
Agreed. Their white gravy is nasty!
I am 55 years old,6' 1" and I weigh 195lbs. In High School I only weighed 180lbs as a senior. I am pretty sure I will make it another 30 years, thanks!
rucussing : It is easy to make gravy. Why would I pay for someone to make it? Stupid.
Tastes canned, i have to agree. Youre better off making it homemade with some sausage drippins and butter add flour, water, and cracked pepper and tada. Sausage gravey is literallybtge easiest thing in the world to make
What kind of hateful stuff is this? Mashed has gone stupid. Hungry now
And narrated by a girl who is afraid of getting fat, sounds like it.
Omg someone is calorie shaming us now I am gonna cry over the hate this gives to somebody who doesn't look at food as a number.
As long as you don't eat it everyday just enjoy.
This video is a hit piece.
I'm pretty sure I work off my dumplings playing checkers, then old timers are pretty damn good and things DO get intense!
I don’t think that must of their customers go for the health aspect of the meals.😉
I go for the taste! 😂 😆
Y'all are aware there's this thing called a take-home container, right? In other words, you don't have to eat the whole meal all at once? Even the dessert?

I love their chicken and dumplings, no one can stop me!!!!
The fact that they had to use calories as the only way to judge it just says how good the food is to the public. (And it is personal preference over what is disgusting or not)
No one never said this food was healthy, eat it once in a while.

The 3 best things on their menu in no specific order are:
Chicken & Dumplings
Hashbrown Casserole
French Toast
Literally listed all of my go-to favorites. 😑 Not gonna change my mind!
Why do you hate fun? And salt, occasional guilty pleasure treat meals, Cracker Barrel in general, anything not steamed broccoli and guilt?
I love the chicken and dumplings and mamas pancakes! Still going to keep as my faves! I’m going on the morn😏
There are flat chewy dumplings, and puffy biscuit-y dumplings. Lovers of either thinks that THEIRS is dakine.....

This was for health reasons, I thought they found something that didn’t taste good dang

So what company are you going to stab in the back next?
This video had to be written by someone from California. Yea... gimme some more of that tofu, kelp and a side order of sushi.
You must be fun at parties
we're here for a good time not a long time
Says southern fried is bad, yet many people survive off that regularly.
Food, in general.
Annette Ploumis : Wrong. I cook at home every day and I can guarantee, even if I make sausage gravy, it doesn't have that much salt in it.
Really, ate there one time great service but the food did nothing for my taste buds immediately wanted to go to the olive garden afterwards
I had the chicken and dumplings once. It actually had a piece of chicken in it. Quelle suprise!
I've been dieting for 5 mths and lost 46 lb. I know where I'm going my next cheat day.

You can always cut the burger and share, same for all the other foods, you can even go three ways! Or, you could just keep it all to yourself 😁👌
I watch this videos so I know which meals probably taste the best, eating unhealthy food from time to time isn’t going to cause me a heart attack
And here I thought you were going to warn me about about terrible tasting dishes that were a waste of money!!!!
Considering that the FDA promotes fluoride I'm not listening to that crap. You go out to eat to ENJOY...not watch your calories
It's ok every once in a while. No crap that going out to eat is bad for you
Once in awhile is A-OK!!! 🦁
You only live once, so eat to your hearts delight, I only weigh 128 lbs. and I eat like an army.
The dumplings? Bad? No! Dumplings goooood . . . 😋
Did anyone else hear the country friend chicken or chicken fried steak thing?
If you go to Cracker Barrel, youre not going to "eat healthy; your going because its comfort food
What's the health count on 10 sausage biscuits with sawmill gravy? Asking for a friend.
OMG...... I’m going to CB and eating all that shit with a smile! Yum!
Let's all go to the Golden Corral instead! 😁😁😁😁😁
At least Golden Feedbag has salads, vegetables, lean meats... so you can attempt to eat healthy if you so desire.
Don't care about that. Still going to eat all of it and hit the gym. I'm done!
Most of this video was just talking about the calories
I’m a freaking Twig. I’m going to eat at least one of these if I get the chance because I actually need the calories
