Cracker Barrel Matthews

My little girl is autistic. With all the negativity in the world I wanted to share something positive!! Reagan loves Cracker Barrel!! We've been there many many times over the last couple years and various staff members there have seen her have meltdowns, throw herself to the floor, yell and she's even made herself sick there. But not once has any staff member there ever made me feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. They've always done the opposite and asked how they can help. Because of that at almost 7 years old she is able to sit there for about 30 to 40 minutes in a big girl chair and actually eat and enjoy breakfast and I really do think a huge part of that is because she feels so comfortable there. They don't mind that she brings her iPad they don't mind how loud the volume is they don't mind that she has toys all over the table or that sometime she makes loud noises. They love her and they always ask how she's doing when we go in now. The sweet waitress today even made her toast extra soft just the way she likes it and even took a picture with her. I hope the Matthews location knows how much their kindest to her means to me. It is a blessing to know that I can go have mommy and me time at a place where she truly feels comfortable And she enjoys eating scrambled eggs, toast with grape jelly and strawberries. #crackerbarrel #autismawareness

The food has been really good the past few times we've gone. The service isn't bad but I feel like it's lacking a little something. Sometimes it takes a while to even get drinks.
