States With No Cracker Barrel Location

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Cracker Barrel locations are there in 2026?
656 locations across 44 U.S. states as of January 7, 2026 per ScrapeHero tracking confirmed against CBOCS, Inc. records. This is slightly down from 660 — 4 restaurants closed in 2024 (3 in Oregon, 1 in South Carolina). Two new flagship locations are planned for FY2026.
What state has the most Cracker Barrel restaurants?
Florida with approximately 60 locations — roughly 9% of the entire chain. High tourist traffic on I-95, I-75, and I-4, a large retired population, and year-round consistent demand make Florida the natural leader.
Is there a Cracker Barrel in California?
Yes, but very few. Confirmed locations include Victorville, Bakersfield, and Santa Maria — all on major highway corridors. California's high minimum wage, elevated real estate, and regulatory environment make the unit economics more challenging than Southern and Midwestern states.
Does Cracker Barrel serve breakfast all day at every location?
Yes. Every location serves the complete breakfast menu from 7 AM open through close — 7 days a week at all 656 locations. No breakfast items are restricted by time of day.
How do I find the nearest Cracker Barrel?
Use crackerbarrel.com/locations with your ZIP code, search "Cracker Barrel near me" in Google Maps, or use the Cracker Barrel mobile app — which also shows alcohol availability and links your Rewards account before you arrive.
What is the newest Cracker Barrel location?
Denver, Colorado (Central Park neighborhood) at 9111 E 40th Ave — opened in 2026. It is the furthest-west major urban Cracker Barrel in the chain and created over 150 jobs in the Denver metro market.
Can I order online from any Cracker Barrel?
Yes. To-Go ordering is available at all participating locations through crackerbarrel.com and the app. Cracker Barrel Rewards members earn Pegs on online orders when signed in at checkout. Third-party delivery (DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats) is available at select locations but does not earn Pegs.
