We visit the Cracker Barrel at least 10 times a year on trips – it is our go to rest stop/dinner stop! They have delicious food, wonderful service and an awesome gift shop.
Our customers love the gift shop that is full of wonderful goodies! It has anything from home décor, children’s toys, candy and their amazing rockers. Every year, they sell 70,000 rockers, 3.7 million pieces of women’s apparel, 13 million thin sticks – at 5 inches in length, that’s over 1,000 miles from our Home Office in Lebanon, TN to San Antonio, TX & 300,000 peg games.
The best part about taking the motorcoach to Cracker Barrel is that, we have enough room under the coach to bring a rocker home! A couple years ago, a customer bought two!
At Christmas time, Cracker Barrel is the place to go for gorgeous decorations for your home.
Cracker Barrel offers Dine in services as well as delivery, curbside & pickup. You can either shop their gift store or order online. They also do catering!

- Cracker Barrel is headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee just east of Nashville.
- The beautiful 98 acre campus includes three man-made lakes and five buildings. Two additional corporate buildings are located outside the main campus. All corporate buildings comprise over 650,000 square feet.
- The land was originally a working farm with beautiful trees, some of which are more than 40-years-old. Among these trees is the Spring Creek Bladder Pod, which only exists in Wilson County and is on the endangered species list.
- The duck, geese, deer and turkey that roam our serene campus all found the land on their own and are welcomed guests. In fact, we think of them now as family and our campus as their home. We love how they greet employees who walk the trails winding through campus.
- The original corporate office was also in Lebanon, but in a different location. The company began construction of its current campus in the 1970s and moved into the first building in 1974.
