The company was founded by Dan Evins in 1969. Its first store was in Lebanon, Tennessee; the corporate offices are located at a different facility in the same city. The chain's stores were at first positioned near Interstate Highway exits in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States, but expanded across the country during the 1990s and 2000s. As of September 16, 2020, the chain operates 663 stores in 45 states. Cracker Barrel's menu is based on traditional Southern cuisine, with appearance and decor designed to resemble an old-fashioned general store. Each location features a front porch lined with wooden rocking chairs, a stone fireplace, and decorative artifacts from the local area. Cracker Barrel partners with country music performers. It engages in charitable activities, such as its assistance to victims of Hurricane Katrina and injured war veterans. During the early 1990s, the company became the subject of controversy when founder and CEO Dan Evins instituted an official company policy prohibiting the hiring of any individual whose "sexual preferences fail to demonstrate normal heterosexual values." Following massive public backlash and large shareholders such as the New York City Employee Retirement System threatening to vote out the entirety of upper management, the company reversed the policy.

I love chicken pot pie. I've never eaten one from Cracker Barrel. I love Cracker Barrel's chocolate pecan pie.

I'm an American that's been living in the UK for the past 10 years. I live in Manchester and have been as far south as London, as far north as Northumberland, as far west as Llandudno, N. Wales, and just recently as far east as Scarborough and many other places in between. I have never, and I mean never, had an eye-rolling experience with British Food. No matter where I travel, breakfast is always the same, tired Full English. Some restaurants will serve pancakes or dry sandwiches, but nothing compares to the variety of restaurants in the US. Every region of the country has its own personality as it relates to cuisine, and every region makes food that simply makes you swoon because your taste buds are leaping for joy in your mouth. Lastly, I beg of you, stop eating biscuits just by themselves. Open them up, slather butter, jelly, honey, apple butter, or syrup on them, or have them with sausage gravy. Stop eating dry a$$ biscuits and try to judge them solo.

I have to tell you a true story about my brother and sister in law who are from Clarence Center, NY ..... they decided to come down to Florence, SC for the first time to visit (many years ago) and on the way down, they stopped in Virginia to get something to eat. They stopped in at a Cracker Barrel restaurant because they wanted to try something new, placed their order and waited. Their waitress walked by in a hurry and turned to them and said in a very southern accent "Ya'llzl be up in a minute!" acknowledging that their order was almost ready and would be delivered to them soon. My brother told me he looked at Bonnie (my sister-in-law) and said "I didn't order any YA'LLZL.... did you?!!!!" They don't speak "southern".... lol!!!

I went to a cousins wedding in Virginia, rehearsal dinner. We are looking at the menu. I saw fried catfish. Yep, that's what I want! My cousin leans over and says ' Um, yeah, you sure about that?" Now, don't get me wrong, he is from Baltimore. I said " You're kidding, right?" He says " they are bottom feeders". I damn near puked from laughing so hard. " Your a city boy from Baltimore, I'm a redneck from Missouri, what the hell do you think shrimp and crab are?" Boy, I've drank more beer fishing than you have drank, grabbing crawdads for bait. Snagging a turtles during night fishing a making turtle soup. Introduce him to deer steaks, and he can't get enough. This year I'm taking him catfishing😂😂😂

A warm hug perfectly describes Southern American food. Y'all making me hungry, and Cracker Barrel is just a mile and a half from me.

So I love going when they have that big fireplace a crackling and snapping, I'll stand in front and warm up before I go back out into the cold after eating and heading home.

Cracker Barrell is always on the list when traveling in our RV. They have parking for RV's in some locations and some stores will let you spend the night with the managers permission.

Expecting to be hassled we were pleasantly surprised when we were greeted by the manager with a menu and two large cups of coffee. As an aside, whenever you order fried okra in any restaurant...asked for it crispy. El Mirage, Arizona

I have eaten at a Cracker Barrel in Mississippi, Louisiana, and in New Mexico. The food was good every time. You made a very good choice.

We're Americans, and we've been going to Cracker Barrel for over 25 years. "Back in the day" there weren't that many Cracker Barrel restaurants, they have greatly proliferated over the past ten years. It is our preferred stop certainly for breakfast or lunch. In fact, when my wife and I are on a road trip, every time we see a Cracker Barrel billboard or sign we look at each other and say "Cracker Barrel." I was surprised the last time we visited Cracker Barrel because they were now serving beer and wine--that is a very new addition. Not consequential for us, we go to Cracker Barrel for the food. My favorite is the ham (country or sugar cured) with macaroni and cheese and green beans or corn. I've never been disappointed at a Cracker Barrel with the food or the service.

Cracker Barrel is alright. At the end of the day they’re a big chain and not capable of matching the quality of the mom and pop owned restaurants but you won’t leave disappointed either. Catfish is a freshwater fish that’s common in American lakes and rivers. Her description of it as having an earthy flavor is spot on. How good catfish is depends a lot on the breading and the oil it’s cooked in which varies from place to place. I enjoy it if it’s good but really hate it when it isn’t. I agree with the hubby about white gravy. It really adds a lot to any type of breaded and fried meat except fish. It’s super simple to make yourself also. If you really wanna taste something great try using bacon grease to make your gravy or use the grease from your fried chicken and you’ll have little crunchy bits of the chicken breading in your gravy which is awesome!

Okra are fruit btw, fruit have seeds, basically the ovaries of the plant, vegetables are part of the plant itself, leaves, stems, roots etc...

Ahhh, the comfort food 🤗 Butter is a must on cornbread and biscuits, and dipping your fried okra into ranch is a game changer! Chicken pot pie is one of my favorites, as I grew up with my grandma making the best. So nice to see you guys enjoying it!

Crackle Barrel is best known for their "comfort food". We love our Crackle Barrel here in The Great State of Texas!

Lots of their stuff is good, but I would eat there for the hashbrown casserole alone even if that was all they had. It's amazing. I love that they bring chilled glasses for the bottled stuff, too. Not enough places do that.

GREAT CHOICES MR H and MRS H and BABY H! My favorite at Cracker Barrel is also Chicken Fried Chicken with fried okra! I am so happy all of you had a great meal with good service!

I was thinking the same thing! You have to get the hash brown casserole. The best thing ever!

I usually get their big stack of BLUEBERRY PANCAKES & a side of bacon & a big glass of fresh OJ. Or ... I get their meatloaf with glazed carrots & mashed potatoes with gravy & u automatically get free basket full of biscuits or cornbread muffins with real butter & jams(my fav is biscuits with butter & Dickenson's Blackberry Jam) & a glass of sweet tea & lemon slices or half sweet tea half lemonade. SOMETIMES i get a big piece of Coca-Cola cake which is so chocolatety goodness! But most of the food is really good at Cracker Barrel & they have hard to find candy & sodas & a large variety of gifts & souvenirs from whichever state it's located in. 2 friends, work at Cracker Barrel in different states. NC & GA . I hope u all loved it as much as we do but if u didn't no problem everyone has different tastes, it's OK. 😍💜😄🙏🤟👍🍽🥤

Watching Alana is sheer joy, what a little angel!! God bless!!♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏

One of my favorite things to get it the country vegetable plate. You get to basically pick out 3 or 4 sides. I like Okra, Hashbrown casserole, dumplings, and pinto beans. You have to have their pancakes with maple syrup. I love their crispy chicken tenders with dill ranch sauce.

I’m glad you watched the “try it all” menu you did. Try Guy Keith did the same and of the 200 (or so) things he tasted he only liked maybe 5. I hope it wasn’t the same for y’all.

I love their meat loaf with mashed potatoes and green beans. Also, chicken & dumplings, greens, mac & cheese. Side of okra. And, biscuits & gravy, ham, eggs and fried apples. We always get extra biscuits to put butter and honey on. Honey is so good on warm biscuits! Oh, heck, I like everything they have there! Almost forgot the cobblers! Cracker Barrel tomorrow!

Howdy yall From Texas!! I worked at Cracker Barrel in my home town just before covid hit. Every sunday after church we would have a line out the door, the whole porch filled, and an almost 2 hour wait for a table. Near the end of the day, the workers would divide the chicken and dumplings amongst the crew - it has always been my favorite item on the menu!!❤ adoring y'all's reactions!

You lucked out with your waitress. As a rule the staff is usually good, but the stars on their aprons indicates how long they’ve worked there/better servers. You lucked out with a 5 star-er on your first visit 🎉🎉

You must pass your “par” test in order to achieve a star. Your first one is fairly simple & comes pretty quickly after you’re hired but your 4th one is much more difficult. 1st to 4th takes over a year & by then you’ve learned things like Dan Evans, 100% Vermont maple syrup, Oscar Mayer, thick sliced bacon, Marions blackberry jelly & etc. and in most cases, the waitresses make $2.13 an hour (some states pay better) but here in Alabama it’s still the federal tipped minimum wage in $2.13 an hour. 😢

At least in the store I worked at the red apron also indicated a shift leader! That young lady was definitely one of their best! I was a four star part-timer before Covid closed us down and I had to focus on my ER work.

I hope they tipped. My niece worked at Olive Garden, eventually going into management, and said the foreign customers always screwed the staff.

@@charlottecunningham2141 Then they shouldn't come here. and they shouldn't eat out if they do. We tip. Get over it. It's why we have such great service at even bottom tier places like Waffle House and they don't have exceptional service at their fancy European dick-hole restaurants.

Love the place can't go wrong really.

I’m in Georgia. If you ever want some authentic home style southern cooking especially southern BBQ then this is definitely a State to consider

Dude I love these vids keep it up❤🤘💥

Catfish can be a little musty in taste, that's why its a must to give it a good dose of lemon juice too knock some of the musty flavor out of it. Also tarter or cocktail sauce is must. Love baby Elana's enthusiasm for food! Really enjoy watching your families adventures here in my home state of Florida. Safe travels and God Bless...!

this is farm raised in the USA so it's a very clean fish.

You know, I've eaten catfish for many many years, and like all fish, it has it's own distinct flavor, but both your description as musty and Mrs. H as earthy really describe it's taste well. Now I know how to describe it to people who have never eaten it. Love it myself! People get catfish wrong by saying it's a bottom feeder like it lives on eating poop or something. If you'd caught as many as I have on live minnows and shiners as well as bass lures from crankbaits to rubber worms you'd know that description isn't really true. One of the best baits is a live Bluegill! They are predators and also very hardy fish able to live in water and conditions that maybe other fish can't.

The meatloaf is my favorite. My favorite thing to do is cut a biscuit in half, butter it up, and then spoon some fried apples onto the biscuit and put the top back on and eat it like a little sandwich. The butter in the biscuit, the butter you add to it, and the touch of butter in the fried apples blend together to buttery goodness. The fried apples are basically heated up apple pie filling. Real fried apples (pan fried in butter with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon) don't produce a sauce like that at all. The hashbrown casserole is good. They used to sell porkchops, but they stopped. Their breakfast is also good, but not spectacular. I love getting the rootbeer, they bring you a chilled mug to pour it in that's so cold, flakes of ice form when you pour the bottle into it.

I think America does breakfast really really well. Its that old farm roots i am guessing. Just around 1900 the majority of Americans lived on farms. My grandparents rode in wagons. They saw the landing on the moon. Crazy rate of change but thank God we kept that wonderful farm breakfast! For working people!

Absolutely LOVED this video!!!! I have enjoyed your American videos and Elana is SOOOOOO adorable! Kathy got me into Cracker Barrel and the hubby always has the fried chicken. The staff is also always very pleasant. BLY you H family!!!!

😂stop teasing us, release this now lol

I'm from Nebraska/Iowa, and Cracker Barrel has been one of my favorite restaurants since early childhood. Not only is the food amazing, but it's some of the least expensive food one can get that isn't fast food. Edited to add: my personal favorite thing to get from Cracker Barrel is the "Uncle Herschel's Breakfast".

Hello from Florida We love Cracker Barrel. Try the Country Fried Steak.

Okra is an interesting plant. It's related to Aloe Vera, so it has a bunch of slime in it. I always make a mess when cutting it up. It's good for using in soups and gumbo as a thickener. Used to go to Cracker Barrel all the time when I was a kid. They used to sell Beanie Babies during the Beanie Baby hype. We'd have a weekend dinner then go shopping for the ones that would be "max resale value." I was never sold on the resale thing as a kid. I just wanted more Beanie Babies to play with. Step-dad had to bribe me with one of my own so I wouldn't make a fuss at him. Good times were had there.

The slime is removed by vinegar water when you prep it. I love it fried and if I have a list of sides to choose from, it's near the top choice.

Mr. and Mrs. H, love you guys, i have been watching since the beginning, and thank you for all the good content. You may not realize how much weight your videos carry for me at least and hopefully any other American watching. The cultural climate in the States isn't exactly stellar at the moment. Your videos show that it is the people that matter, and by you having the "American Experiences" that you are, well, it kinda reminds us over here of the things we should be happy with and proud of, and of course, again it is people that make the difference. Thank you again.

We always loved all the old time candies at Cracker Barrel.

As a young man I was a manager of Philips Chicken pie shop in Long Beach California. That would havee been in the Late 1970s

I cannot believe how big and beautiful that she is getting!I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the food!This is one of my favorite restaurants! If you ever get a chance to do it again I would definitely recommend the lemon pepper rainbow trout and I usually get that with stings broccoli and their garlic mashed potatoes and then I believe in the fall, they used to have sweet potato pancakes and you can get that with Brown sugar and butter. Those are some of my favorite pancakes if not my most favorite!

I’m from Arizona but I spent 4 years living in Georgia something I highly recommend trying at least once is alligator. It’s is my go to recommendation for an out there good meal. Also okra is a swamp growing plant that produces pods the pods are harvested and cut up then fried. Okra grows surprisingly well in the Sonoran desert as long as it’s watered because it loves heat. My favorite way to enjoy okra is to fry it in cornmeal

I am in love with their squash casserole. I'm from Texas, now in Missouri.

Cracker barrel is a family staple here in Minnesota

Okra is a commonly eaten vegetable in the South. It resembles a small pepper with the skin of a cucumber or zucchini and has a fairly unique flavor. It is common fried, sauteed, pickled, and is a main ingredient in gumbo.

I love Cracker Barrel, their food is always good.

I love the chicken and dumplings because it tastes like my grandmother’s. Pure comfort.
