A little ole' country general store serving down-home foods and goods since 1969.. In Short
Originating in Lebanon Texas, this country store and restaurant has branched out all over the U.S. The décor includes old advertising signs, farm equipment, early kitchen appliances and photos which complement the country-style seating. Their menu includes home-style comfort foods like meatloaf and house-made mashed potatoes daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Make sure to stop into the gift shop for souvenirs and a variety of knick-knacks.…

awildrosee60. I find that Cracker Barrel is consistent wherever you go and the wait is not bad usually since you can browse in the store at lots of quality items.

The staff is friendly, unfortunately the distance for most to the restaurant is quite a jaunt. Enjoy -- the worst thing is that they did away with the frequent diner's club.…

Bob is Better. If you like Cracker Barrel, you should try the new Bob Evans that has opened up just north of 295 on San Jose Blvd in Mandarin. They serve the same home cooking style meals - but they taset even better. I suggest you try the Country Bisquit Breakfast - a fresh bisquit topped with crumbled sausage, an egg (I like mine scrambled), creamy country gravy, and shredded cheddar cheese served with a delicious side of home fries. If you're there in the morning, ask for Pat, she is one of the best servers in the business!…
