saw a rapid decline, for reasons I don't know. I stopped eating
there, even in the south, even when very hungry, around 2000.
Spot on, on both points.
I probably haven't been to a Cracker Barrel since the late 90s. I remember huge waits at the peak meal times, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out what all the fuss was about.
