Four of the Friendliest Restaurants to Visit In Fayetteville

Gunner Jackson August 3rd
Gunner knows good service when he sees it, and Cracker Barrel in Cedar Creek has some of the friendliest faces in Fayetteville.

Recently I had lunch at Cracker Barrel, off the Cedar Creek exit in Fayetteville, and it was one of the friendliest restaurant experiences I’ve had.

I can honestly say that the positive energy, and most importantly the huge smiles that the staff and those eating lunch had, was incredible. I have never seen anything quite like it.

It inspires me to take a good look at myself. Am I doing the same? After all it takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown.

So, I’m going to do my best to give away as many smiles as I can, and I hope that this inspires you to do the same.

A big shout out to the men and women at Cracker Barrel off the Cedar Creek exit in Fayetteville. Fantastic! Here’s some places you’ll also find great service and……A SMILE.
