The Cracker Barrel - Robert Lee, TX

If you are in the vicinity of Robert Lee; if you like really good hamburgers, onion rings, french fries, and meringue pie, and if you are not worried about your diet, don't hesitate to stop in the Cracker Barrel. I find it impossible to ride through Robert Lee without stopping there. It's rustic, clean, decorated with deer heads, and covered up with hunters during season. No beer available. Expect to be quizzed about your home and destination and your motorcycle by some of the older customers. They are country folks and very out-going and friendly and expect you to be the same way. Enjoy!

The number one rule for this forum!
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph 4:29 (NIV)
Think before you post. Leave out the vulgarity, personal attacks and foul language!

Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Tourmeister,

I guess I forgot to give accurate directions to the Cracker Barrel so here they are.

Robert Lee is a small town South of Interstate 20 about halfway between Colorado City and San Angelo. Two highways intersect in Robert Lee. Highway 208 runs mostly North and South. Highway 158 runs mostly West and East although when it goes through Robert Lee it runs Southwest and Northeast.

At the intersection of these two roads, there is a stop light. I think it is the only one in Robert Lee. The Cracker Barrel is about 100 yards Southwest of the intersection on the North side of Highway 158.

I also forgot to mention that prices are very reasonable and there is a gas station that you can see from the parking lot of the restaurant

I don't have any photographs of the place but it is not much to lookat anyway. It's just a country restaurant where all the locals eat after funerals. The funeral home is one block North.

Tourmeister, have I forgotten anything else?

Cracker Barrell

yep, I have to agree.. The Barrell of Fun (Cracker Barrell) as we call it has one of the bestest burgers in the West.
We have a place on Lake Spence (what there is left of it) and eat there often.

Welcome lady biker; post up in the Introductions forum so everyone can say hello. Who you are, where you are, what you ride, what you want to ride, etc.
