I have so many great memories of traveling when I was a kid and so many of those memories come from the road trips we would take with my grandparents. No matter where our trip was taking us, one thing always seemed to remain the same — our stops at Cracker Barrel!
My grandparents firmly believed that “getting there” was half the fun and fast-food meals were not an option. Therefore, we always stopped for a sit-down breakfast and dinner (lunch was packed sandwiches). Most often, those sit-down meals took place at Cracker Barrel.
My siblings and I never seemed to mind those stops at Cracker Barrel because, besides the yummy food, we knew that, as our grandparents took FOR-EV-ER to drink their coffee, we would get to rock in the rocking chairs outside and look through the Old Country Store. And, if we were extra good, we would get to buy a piece of rock candy or one of those humungous jaw breakers from the Old Country Store!
Apparently I’m not the only one who loves Cracker Barrel. Recently country music star, Craig Morgan, released his newest CD, That’s Why Collector’s Edition, exclusively at Cracker Barrel! He even includes Cracker Barrel in his song “Lookin’ Back With You“!!!
Craig Morgan is one of my favorite country music artists and this cd is absolutely amazing! If you don’t own it already, you need to head out to your nearest Cracker Barrel, grab a delicious ‘home-cooked’ meal, and then pick up Craig’s cd or one of the many other artists’ cds in the Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores!!! And then go relax in one of the fabulous rocking chairs on their front porch!
To bring a little of that “down home” feeling to one of our readers, Cracker Barrel is generously giving away an amazing prize package here at 5 Minutes for Mom.
One winner will receive:
A certificate for one core Cracker Barrel rocking chair – $129.99 value* A copy of Craig Morgan’s ‘That’s Why – Collectors Edition’ CD – $11.99 value 1 Cracker Barrel Gold Card, which is good for 2 complimentary meals at a Cracker Barrel restaurant
To enter, simply leave a comment below by Friday, October 1st. This giveaway is open to US shipping addresses. Please see our site’s terms and conditions for our complete contest rules.
*The certificate, CD, and Gold Card will be shipped directly to the winner but the winner must use the certificate to pick up the rocking chair at a Cracker Barrel store, as shipping is not available.
Thank you to Cracker Barrel for not only providing our winner with such an amazing prize but also providing me with the Craig Morgan cd for review purposes.

What an amazing giveaway! I love, love, love Cracker Barrel. Living here in Michigan it is the only place I know that I can go and get good southern cooking, and corn bread without sugar. 🙂 They have such delicious food, and a wonderful homey atmosphere.

I would love to win! We used to live in the south & Midwest & had the opportunities & making memories at Cracker Barrel, but we miss them so much now that we live in the northwest. As soon as I seen the rocking chair I thought that I had to try to win. Also because it would be great to have from my memories & because I am going to become a grandma soon (for the first time). Thanks for giving your readers this opportunity!

The rocking chairs are my favorite part of Cracker Barrel, plus the cute items in their shopping area, the fun game on the table (which everyone always does better than me) and then the food. I would love to own one of their rocking chairs.

I love all things Cracker Barrel – the candy, the decorations, and everything!!
Linda Stewart says
We don’t have a Cracker Barrel locally so when we have to head over to Asheville or if we go to Pigeon Forge for the weekend we know without a doubt one of the first places we are going to eat is Cracker Barrel. My daughter is a breakfast person and she loves the fact that no matter what time of day it is she can still have breakfast. I believe my favorite time of year to go to Cracker Barrel is when they are decorated for Christmas. Loads of my Christmas decorations came from Cracker Barrel and I continue to add to them every year. I love the wooden ornaments. AND their Chicken Pot Pie is to die for!
Jessica says
We love Cracker Barrell and with Baby #2 on the way, we could use a new rocking chair for baby! 🙂

I love those chairs!
Angie Vinez says
I remember as a young girl, we’d drive from Ohio to Georgia at least twice a year. Daddy loved Cracker Barrel, and we stopped at every single Cracker Barrel on the way down and back – it didn’t matter if we had just stopped half an hour before. To this day, Cracker Barrel is one of my absolute favorite restaurants, and even though I have to drive more than an hour to get to the closest one, it’s well worth it! Would absolutely love to win this prize. Thanks for the opportunity!
