My Nashville Restaurant List

BBQ Plate

I'm adding this post more as a reminder to myself of the restaurants I'd like to be sure and visit now that we're in Nashville. Since my goal will be to share my experiences at the restaurants after I go to them, there are a few restaurants on here that I have already visited. Those will be noted and if I've written a review about them, I'll link to those.

If there's a restaurant you recommend that's not on the list, be sure and add it in the comments. If you happen to own a restaurant and you'd like me to add your location to my list, feel free to leave those suggestions in the comments as well.

The Original Cracker Barrel Has Seen Better Days

As you may be aware, our family recently moved to the Lebanon, TN area. If you're not aware, Lebanon is home to the headquarters of one of my favorite restaurants, Cracker Barrel. It's one of the places we usually stop to eat at least once during a family road trip, if not multiple times, much to the chagrin of my son.

Given my love for Cracker Barrel, I've driven past their HQ campus and it's a beautiful piece of property and building. What I wasn't sure about until this evening is where exactly the original store was actually located. I was certain it was probably somewhere in Lebanon, but I doubted it was the current location on US-231 just north of I-40. There's a building with a similar facade across the street from their headquarters so I figured maybe that was it, but given it's non-prime location anymore, they shut it down and moved it. Then there's another building off another street in Lebanon that has a similar front so I thought it might be there.

Well, I found out this evening exactly where the original store was located. And, very surprising to me it's not been maintained by the corporation as a running restaurant or maintained in any way whatsoever. In fact, it's in some serious disrepair.

The Original Cracker Barrel Store

The original store was located on Highway 109, just north of I-40 around the Leeville Pike and East Division cross streets. I've driven by it now multiple times per week for the last few months since we've lived here and I would have never picked it out as being a Cracker Barrel restaurant in a past-life, much less THE ORIGINAL! I can't believe this building wasn't maintained. I would think this location would be a prime location again to have a working restaurant of some sort. It's sad that it's been left in this type of condition for so many years.

What do you think? Is this just the way things go? Or should something be done to reclaim and highlight this treasure for the open-road?

Blog Referral: Waiter Rant

I’ve become entranced in reading the stories of this waiter who shares his life as the manager/waiter for a little Italian bistro in New York City.

His writing is superb, his outlook on life and the world around him is enlightening. Check out his blog and some of my favorite posts below:
