From the reviews it sounds great, if not Texan.) <br/><br/>It's not really a focus group issue, they brought a whole mess of Texan things up here that haven't existed to date. Three of my favorites being correctly made pintos, Blue Bell and sweet tea. Granted, the place is loud, but if you've ever been in a joint in Texas, you'll know that's right too. <br/><br/>Finally, as for the sauce, if you know your texas cue, it's a barely tolerated secondary ingredient. The meat should stand up on its own, and here it does.

But I loves me some Cracker Barrel so perhaps this will suffice. Looks like a watered down version of Cracker Barrel what with the kitsch and the gift shop.
