Cracker Barrel

My initial visit to this Cracker Barrel establishment left me captivated by its distinctive ambiance and overall experience. I consistently find a warm and comforting charm during each subsequent visit here and every other Cracker Barrel I have visited since. The trading post, with its simplicity and diversity, is particularly noteworthy. The culinary offerings are consistently good tasting. The restaurant's design and decor exude a delightful old-world charm that enhances the overall dining experience.

Cracker Barrel old country store is more than a regular store or restaurant. It's a step back in time to old-time food and family. The store stocks unique gifts as well as old-time candy, soda, products, and toys. There's antique and retro decor on the walls and ceilings, giving it a retro museum feel and experience. Food is always fresh, and there's always complimentary biscuits that are delicious. I found the new menu a little confusing, but then again, the old one took multiple visits to master also. Don't forget to stop and enjoy the rocking chairs on the porch and perhaps have a game of dominoes with the kids. A tremendous place for a family feed or outing.

One of the main reasons I go to Cracker Barrel is to buy packages of bacon when I plan on hosting brunches at my house. The Cracker Barrel bacon is the best value in bacon you can get for your money. These two pound packages are affordable and if cooked properly the most delicious. My preference is crispy so we bake it in the oven at 425 degrees, laid out flat on a bacon rack (procured at Target) in a disposable aluminum cookie (procure at Stop&Shop). The bacon is baked until crispy all the way, both sides. For crispy bacon lovers, you can’t go wrong this way.

Our meals were tasty, but the fried apples had skins that were difficult to eat.......otherwise......Down home meals and something for everyone. Be sure to inquire about ingredients for those with food allergies, including vegetarians and vegans. Many if their sides have meat based seasoning. Love the store!
