I have never been there and have no desire to go. I've always felt that it was a restaurant not meant for black people just like a soul food restaurant is not meant for white people. Not saying it's right but that is the way it is.
I went here in MD on a road trip with friends. They had more tables but sat us near the oeeplace. It was so hot so we asked to move and they said the other tables were being heItwas like 8pm on a weeknight
There were 2 other tables of gblack people and they all were sat near the fire.
I went in there to eat the next thing I know I'm being accused of rape!
Actually there is a Cracker Barrel in Markham and one in Scarborough (East in Toronto)
