The Cracker Barrel is a chain that consists of locations that are a restaurant/old country store combination and they are very popular! And, there's a good reason for that. The Cracker Barrel in Sturbridge, Massachusetts is a delightful place with an old fashion ambience. The outside of the building looks like an old weatherbeaten building with an outside porch with rockers on it so that while waiting to be seated you can enjoy the outdoors. The old country store is a walk down memory lane. They have old fashioned candies in wrappers that replicate the original old ones (like Hershey bars, cracker jacks, etc.) Great gifts for your grandparents! There's also an array of gift items such as kitchenware, clothing, Yankee Candles, greeting cards, and gift food items. The restaurant is very affordable and the food is abundant. The biscuits and gravy and cornbread are awesome and the country fried steak, chicken and dumplings, mac and cheese and fried apples are all terrific. Breakfasts are outstanding and are big enough to be shared. It's all down home comfort food. You will not leave hungry or broke! The staff of the store and the restaurant are among the friendliest people I've ever met. I highly recommend this place to you and your family.
