shit, Cracker Barrel's dining high on the hog for me. we usually hit Golden Corral b/c it's easier to feed the 5-year-old and my wife says she can't eat at other places b/c of her no-carb diet and me, well, I just like to shovel food in my face and then watch my umbilical hernia pulsate like an alien baby.

Golden Corral is more expensive that Cracker Barrell!

that ought to bring Doc out

Cracker Barrel has a pretty good thing going. They have the food made in bulk in the back and you usually get it about 10 minutes after you order. The food isn't great but its mostly comfort food about as good as you can make at home and a family of four can get out the door for $35 (if you have a kid or two that orders from the kids menu).

Old people flock to that place like moths to a flame.

Also, Sonic has milkshakes half price after 8. I've been taking the kids there at least 3 times a week since summer. 2 medium chocolate shakes for $3.25.

Someone will be on Jenn Craig by August.

I don't let myself get the milkshakes. I just buy them for the kids who still have the metabolism to handle it.

Child abuse...

LOL...I was about to say the same thing @AA and hedge.

Take a lap, fatty!!

do they cut the prices in half on the malts, too?

$35 isn't bad for a family of 4 with 2 kids over 10 and eCat's generous appetite. the CB in our town is out by I-95 and it's definitely pricier than GC here.

I still like K&W Cafeteria even with its surly servers.

Pretty sure Shakes and Malts are the same menu item at sonic.

I didn't know they had Sonics in England.

some places charge more for malts, smartypants

By some places do you mean "some Sonics?" Sonic charges the same price at every one Ive ever seen (and sometimes I get a malt, never a shake). In fact I think it would be kinda bullshit to charge extra for adding some malted milk in if you arent charging for the difference between plain vanilla vs mint or caramel or strawberry or any of the other more expensive stuff they put in there for a different flavor of shake.

not some Sonics, some places. there was a place in Richmond I went to last week that charged 50¢ more for a malt. just a local diner. I guess because it's an extra step in making it

Yeah OK, I was more answering your question that at Sonic they are the same thing same price, etc.

thanks, Batman of Sonic

No problem

Never been to a Sonic. What's the purpose? I can go through McDonalds drive thru if I wanted to eat in my car.Probably cheaper too.
