LOL At the end of the day traditional breakfast is supposed to be greasy.
Make no mistake about it Bacon, eggs, sausage, grits, pan cakes and biscuits are greasy foods!

Most only have 3 to 4 RV parking spots & depending on the size of your RV could be hard to get in & out of the parking lot.

and, at least at our local CB, autos and pickups are often parked in those spots.

We have been to many CBs all over this country, includeing the original one in Lebanon, TN. Have stayed overnight at several. Like everyone has said, they are all individual, parking will vary. With our 30' Class A with toad, it is always a matter of look and see. Some you can, others you can't. If staying overnight, I usually ask the manager on duty about the best parking. One night, with one that had a bigger parking area, we had three RVs and tow trucks all staying the night. We all visited at breakfast in the morning.

I've never stayed at a Cracker Barrel. In my travels I always check the RV spots when I'm near a CB.
There is usually just a few spots. A lot of time the spots are taken by customers cars.

Get there late and leave early, while CB is closed and you can park anywhere you want.
The challenge is finding an level enough spot.

If you want b'fast and you need to move to the store next door's lot then just move when u get up before the morning rush

I suggest using google maps satellite view before pulling into a CB. Most do have RV spots. But some are easy in/easy out. Some are not so easy access even though they have the spots available. And all too often, if the place is crowded at the time there will likely be cars in the RV spots. Of course the sat view does not tell you what is there parked there at the time, but will give you an idea of what to expect on entering and exiting.

CB's are a decent place to stop but not all are Big Rig friendly.
I have to park on the adjacent lot or across the road on more than one occasion.
While I enjoy the food I do not assume I can easily park on the lot.
Some are more equipped to handle RV than others.
If you are stopping at an off hour or overnight you are generally OK , but if your stopping prime time beware there may not be RV parking available.

Your general questions just can’t be answered. Each store is different. Call the appropriate location.

A few of the Cracker Barrels have enough space for a Class A or fifth wheel. It seems the small double car space "reserved" fro RVs are no longer even marked or just not there.
We have as at the one south of Louisville, i don't remember exit or town name found enough room on one or two attempts to park at he far end of the lot and called and ordered meals and had them brought out to the RV.
Parking overnight was welcomed at one time but now there is scarcely room and probably not allowed. The original Owner Dan Smith from Smithville Tn many years ago did intended for RVs to be accomodated. Ownership has changed hands twice at least and is now owned by Hedge Fund. RVs at the time were generally much smaller.
