Best meal takeaway in Alaiedon, Michigan (MI) 2024

When I see a new menu item that seems interesting at a restaurant that typically never disappoints I had to make a trip to Cracker Barrel to try the new Kick'n Ranch Fried Chicken and fried pickle chips. Unfortunately the latter was only available as a full order and not as a side upgrade which was disappointing. I expected more of a kick given the zesty ranch seasoning and buffalo ranch sauce drizzle. The spice was underwhelming and bone in chicken is a tad difficult to dip into a tiny portion cup of pickle ranch. The sizes of the pieces seemed small and were either over cooked or cooked in older oil as the batter was really dark and a bit greasy. This concept would be better executed as chicken tenders not bone in chicken. I asked for biscuits and cornbread with honey but only got biscuits with jelly. The Mac n cheese and steamed broccoli sides were as expected. The waitress was attentive but seemed rushed and maybe a little overwhelmed or spread thin although it didn't seem overly busy. The veggie plate and kids pancakes were received well. ~Chili
