NOTE: Racism, either overt or perpetuated through unconscious bias, has no place at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, and both our Mission and People Promise are firmly rooted in the principle of valuing what everyone brings to the table.

While our décor and food may harken back to earlier times, our inclusive culture and beliefs about equality and diversity do not.
