Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® was named a top family-friendly
restaurant by FamilyFun
magazine in its third annual Travel Awards. Chosen by 2,000 families
from across the country, the winners were announced in the magazine’s
April issue.
“Making sure all of our 634 stores are comfortable and family-friendly
has been our goal since we opened the first Cracker Barrel® store 45
years ago,” said Chris Ciavarra, senior vice president of marketing for
Cracker Barrel. “Our stores are a place for connection and family
bonding. We see families spending quality time and engaged in real
conversations. Plus, our décor offers parents a great opportunity to
teach their children about history and heritage.”
The Casual Restaurants category was new to the Travel Awards this year. FamilyFun
surveyed families traveling with kids ages 3 to 12 and asked them to
vote for family-friendly restaurants with dinner service and a
kid-friendly menu selection. Cracker Barrel ranked number four on the
top ten list.
“The Travel Awards are such a unique program because we rely on real
families to vote on their favorite destinations,” said Ann Hallock,
Editor-in-chief of FamilyFun magazine.
