Why is Cracker Barrel famous?
Cracker Barrel is known for the loyalty of its customers, particularly travelers who are likely to spend more at restaurants than locals. From 1977 to 2017, married couple Ray and Wilma Yoder drove a combined total of more than 5 million miles (an average of 342 miles per day) to visit 644 Cracker Barrel locations.

First Cracker Barrel Opened

Dan W. Evins opened the first Cracker Barrel Old Country Store on September 19, 1969, located on Highway 109 in Lebanon, TN. And yes, even then the corn bread was made from scratch.

Core Values

Built by hard work, a mission of Pleasing People, strong values and genuine hospitality, the cooks, wait staff, operators and Evins Uncle Herschel McCartney—described as the “soul” of Cracker Barrel created more than a refreshing stop along one's journey.
