Old white guy here, never seen the appeal. And I feel like the targeted demographic.
It's all stuff I can make at home, sometimes better. If I want some real fried chicken or BBQ, I'll drive down the road and find a black man with a grill under an umbrella. Same with Mexican. Hit a taco truck where they speak just enough English to take an order. I'm perfectly capable of making white people food with loads of sugar, butter and salt.
The gift store sometimes has odds and ends I might like, but the prices are too stupid to bother looking anymore. "Meh, that's a kinda cool coffee mug. $25 BUCKS?!"
Weirdly enough, my Pilipino wife seems to like it. Never been with her, keep voting it down. I'll have to cave one day. Bleh.
I can't speak to it in the last 15 years or so, but it used to be a pretty reliable stop on road trips between places with good local food. Their biscuits were ok.
Back in the early 90s, before Cracker Barrels weren't so plentiful, my Granny would drive over an hour to the nearest one to eat when family visited. She was also great at cooking southern food, but she made the effort. However, now it definitely isn't as good as it was 5-10 years ago. Nowadays, if I had to drive an hour to get to the nearest one, I wouldn't be making the effort.
