Wilson County Convention and Visitors Bureau is pleased to feature the following organizations that play a key role in business being conducted within our county.

Cracker Barrel was founded in Lebanon, Tennessee, in 1969.

The Cracker Barrel chain serves traditional Southern comfort food. Their outlets have traditionally been located along interstate highways. Breakfast is served all day, though the breakfast menu is kept separate from the lunch and dinner menu. Both menus include a low-carb section.

The outer porch of a Cracker Barrel store has rows of rocking chairs for guests to enjoy before or after eating, and there is usually a fireplace and a checkers table within the dining area for an added country feel. The interior walls of the dining area are decorated with antiques such as photographs, advertisements and household items.

The retail store carries mainly nostalgic merchandise, collectibles, old-time toys, classic candies, scented candles and items used in making Cracker Barrel entrees. Also, a lot of Cracker Barrel merchandise is holiday themed, depending on the time of year.
