It’s funny that this is a Mother’s Day post because my dad absolutely LOVES Cracker Barrel. Any birthday, anniversary, or special occasion that he gets to pick where we all go out to eat – Cracker Barrel it is.
That’s not to say that my mom doesn’t enjoy Cracker Barrel, because she does. She loves their home cooked food. It’s nice for her to get a break from cooking all those meals. And their store just has so many cute things! I know that I really enjoy going there because it always smells wonderful and the food is so delicious.
Cracker Barrel is all about celebrating the moms and grandma’s out there this Mother’s Day! They have events both in store and online. You really need to check them out.

I MISS Cracker Barrel! We do not have one up here on the PNW and every time I go back East, I just have to go there. I love the little gift shop, the home town feel, the wrap around porches at the restaurants. *sigh* I want their apples now.
