I've been there a few times, and have enjoyed the experiences, but recently heard about food quality problems. Anyone have a recent experience?
We only ever eat at Cracker Barrel on trips/vacation. It's always located on the outskirts of town and is pretty far from where we live in town. Many international visitors would find Homecoming unique. Southern cooking is specific to the Southern US, so even people from other parts of the US may find it different than their normal fare.It’s Cracker Barrel for the vacationer, those who don’t want to eat anything they’re not used to.
Then they should save their money and go to Cracker Barrel.We only ever eat at Cracker Barrel on trips/vacation.

Your analogy is more spot-on than you think, though I don't think you meant it that way.Unless something has radically changed since our last stop there in April comparing Cracker Barrel to Homecomin is like comparing PF Chang's to Morimoto Asia. Yes the style of food is similar but the quality and execution is vastly different.
I went yesterday and the only thing that tasted different to me was the mac and cheese. It tasted worse, like more artificial? My dad who also had it said the same thing. Everything else was the same and service was great. I like how big the portions are - just had my leftovers for lunch!
In terms of Disney Springs restaurants Jaleo is significantly better but I do enjoy eating at Homecoming occasionally.
