CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE

Think of all the Yankees who have had their first taste of a real Southern breakfast thanks to Cracker Barrel's handy, just-off-the-exit ramp locations and plentiful RV parking.

There are 458 Cracker Barrel's spread out over 41 states (including 22 in East Tennessee) that serve grits, country ham, buttermilk biscuits 'n' sawmill gravy, country ham, pork chops, apple butter and lots more, whenever you want it served. Pancakes for dinner are one of life's great luxuries.
