## Caption

For years, Savannah Born has watched breakfast-serving giants IHOP and Cracker Barrel make moves that have grabbed headlines, including the latest this week.

Cracker Barrel welcomed a new CEO, David Deno, and Born is curious what he has in store for the chain.

IHOP, meanwhile, has had some steadier footing. Still, it hasn't been without controversy.

However, sales aren't always an indicator of quality or value. And with all the chatter about these legacy chains, she started to wonder which was truly worth a visit as a customer these days — if either.

To find out, Born had Saturday brunch at each, ordering plain black coffee and comparable breakfast samplers.

See how the chains stacked up at the link in our bio.
