Cracker barrel for 'good' US southern style cooking and cheap too (killing me we don't have one near here

I am from Canada, every time we go to the US for holiday we always stop at the following:
Cracker Barrel....so far it was good.
Chilli's
Last Aug we went to Surfside Beach near Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, there was a restaurant the "Riverside Cafe" we had the best burgers ever.

Meanwhile, my favourite chains remain
Cracker Barrel
Quizno's subs - the veggie one is delish!

Don't know if Jason's Deli has been discussed- it's a chain deli with great sandwiches, baked potatoes, mufaletas, soup and salad bar. A typical sandwich (ie rueben usually has about 2" deep meet.
The one they opened up here 8 months ago is still always packed to the gills.

Have never had complaints from Jason's Deli either. Didn't realize they were a chain, thought they were local!

Q: Where will you find lots of tatoos and no teeth?
A: Just look at the Waitresses down at your local "Waffle House"
Where else can you get greasy food cooked and served up by dubious-looking individuals?
