ME: 7/31/07 Dinner at Davy Crockett's

After our expedition at Old Stone Fort, we were more than ready for dinner. The town of Manchester was very nearby. There were 3 choices: Cracker Barrell, The Oak Family Restaurant, and Davy Crockett's Roadhouse. We had promised ourselves we would eat at Cracker Barrell at some time, but we had seen so many of them so far that we thought we could save that until a time when there were no choices. We drove through the parkig lot of The Oak Family Restaurant, but in looking through the window, it was mostly the silver-haired crowd inside and it looked a little musty. It didn't look bad, but we decided to check out Davy Crockett's before we made a final decision. Davy Crockett's definitely looked more lively and a little "fresher" in appearance, so that won.

Oh my, what a good choice! We had Kendall as our waitress and she was fascinated with who we were, where we were from, and where we were going. She made great recommendations and both of us really liked our dinner. I got catfish and it melted in my mouth. Marty got ribs and she said they were delicious. Our only problem was, we thought we had ordered small enough portions to have room for dessert (peach cobbler was the daily special). . We ordered from the "pick two" menu. For $13.99 you got 2 entrees and 2 sides, and Kendall said we could split it. So we each picked an entrée and a side. But even the small portions were too big and we didn't have room for dessert. But oh, it was good.
