Thanks for the video Tampa Jay. My father in law had a surgery back on 3/5/24. He had to go on a liquid diet 24 hours before his surgery and so he and I ate at Cracker Barrel for breakfast on 3/4/24. He passed away very unexpectedly on 3/6/24. 😢 Cracker Barrel will always remind me of having his last meal before passing away… He hadn’t been to Cracker Barrel in decades and he really enjoyed the atmosphere and food, which is something I’ll always remember. He was more than a father in law, he was my hero. I’ve been with my wife since 1986 and I always looked up to him.
So sorry to hear this. I am glad you had that memory with him though. I had a similar experience with my nephew. I took him to eat at a Craker Barrel not long before he went on a trip and had a heart attack and died. He was so precious, just had turned 50.
Loved the Cracker Barrel show. My late wife Karen and I always stopped there for breakfast on our way from Panama City to St Petersburg to visit our son and his family or Karen's mom in Punta Gorda. All the times we stopped there we had no idea it was Florida's first Cracker Barrel. Last time we were there was June 2023 when we were going to St Pete for our grandsons fourth birthday. I have made the trip alone three times since she passed away in November 2023 after a nineteen-month battle with cancer. I have not been able to bring myself to stop there since she passed. Your vlog brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks for sharing. Maybe I will try to stop next time I make the trip.
Love Cracker Barrel. They used to have really good fried chicken and fried catfish. Haven't been there since my mom passed. Might have to and just reminisce about the good times we used to have there. Thanks for another awesome video! Safe travels!
Just scrolling through the comments, and it's really touching to to see how many people have memories connected to Crackle Barrel and all the other restaurants you do in your food series. Restaurants are more than just a place to eat, nostalgia, family, connection, it all runs deep! ❤
I have been to that Cracker Barrel multiple times when passing through on the way to the panhandle. I had no idea it was the first in Florida. My husband and I went to FSU from 1971-1973 and it was not there then. I think the first time we ate there was in the mid 1980's. My son was in the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) and attended Encampments at Eglin AFB in the 1990's. On the way home one year we came upon an accident and stopped to render aid before the EMS got there. My son even helped carry the young man who was hurt to Life Flight. A few other CAP members stopped to help, and we agreed to meet in Tallahassee to eat at the Cracker Barrel. That was memorable. By the way, my fav meal there is chicken & dumplings, corn & carrots. My hubby always gets breakfast. I love perusing their gift shops. They used to have books on tape you could sort of rent and bring back when done and get a deposit back. That worked really good for us for long trips.
Thanks Tampa Jay you made me feel Hungary but I enjoyed watching the video can't wait for the next one 😀 from Michelle over here in Nottingham in England ♥️ 😀 😊😂❤❤love you chris the girl and Bella ❤😅
I absolutely love Cracker Barrel! When traveling up or down the I-95 corridor, I make it a point to eat there as much as possible. Good food at reasonable prices. Plus they carry all kinds of candy not normally found in other chain stores. Thanks for the tour! BTW, those rocking chairs at the entrance,... I have one of them on my covered deck! Also, get honey for your biscuits!
Awesome video of the iconic Cracker Barrel...funny thing is the chicken and dumplings are always my go to as well. Safe travels home my friend and appreciate you sharing your adventures with us.😎🚘🍳🇺🇲😇
What a great video! I love CB! My favorite breakfast food item was eggs in a basket. They changed the menu and it’s no longer available. They have the best decor as you well know. 🥰 thanks for sharing!!
Great video J. I have not been to a Cracker Barrel but I can say my order would be the meatloaf mash pertaters and corn with some biscuits. Half n half tea and a wheel chair to take me to my car !
Love Cracker Barrel 😋 We've been to this one many times. Had no idea that this one was the first one in Florida.🤷 Hope you enjoyed your visit up here Tampa Jay and had a safe trip home. Hope you come back up this way sometime. Would like to get together with you and show you some points of interest in the area that you might like.
My wife’s grandmother lives in Tally. I love visiting that area. My father went to FSU for law back in the early 80s. Been to that Cracker Barrel a few times but never knew it was the OG!
Hello my friend! 👋 I just saw where What-a-burger was finally coming to South Carolina. In Boiling Springs, about an hour from me. 🍔❤😋 Woo-Hoo! I love Cracker Barrel, too. I used to work in the Cracker Barrel Gift Shop 30 years ago. LOL I am old! 😂🤣 Safe travels home. 🙏
They closed all locations here in Oregon except Medford..6 hours south of us. I'm so bummed...we have never been to one:/ This was such a fun video! Thank you Jay for that! Someday when wr head back to Florida we will make that and Buccees a thing. My daughter in law and grandson are in East Tennessee....so we do plan to head south soon. Thanks again for the fun.❤
My wife and I love us some cracker barrel good old country cooking been to a lot of them during our travels glad that have one here and Gainesville Fl area thanks! for sharing Jay
My daughter lived in Tally for about 10yrs and I was in that Cracker Barrel quite a few times but did not know it was the first in Florida. They have a pretty old Hooters up there too right on up the road a little.
Hello from Orlando, Tampa Jay. My wife and I discovered you a few months ago, and love the Halloween content. This food stuff is a huge bonus, because that’s basically the only other stuff we watch on RUclips. Anyway, keep it up! And Cris is a daytime 9, congrats 💪💪💪
The first and original SONNY'S is here in Gainesville on Waldo Rd. Plus, you gotta buy and take a sip of Gatorade at the Cade Museum (birthplace of Gatorade). Well, "gotta" is an overstatement. You dont "gotta" but you gotta, ya know? Lol😂
Grandmas sampler with fried apples and hash brown casserole with a side of rye extra buttered toast ...over medium eggs please and thank you ...the only plate I ever have when I go there ... Oh I forgot biscuits and gravy on side . I have to have strawberry jam/ preserves please
Tampa Jay I think I've been to that certain Cracker Barrel when I was very young because I had a family member who passed away and she was from Indiana
What is ironic is that the 2 Cracker Barrels I eat at are the Oldsmar location (near my house) and that one in Tallahassee, whenever I come up (fairly regular). Never knew that was the original Florida location.
I'm loving your videos and I was wondering if you have made a trip to the worlds smallest police station in Carrabelle, and on into Eastpoint, Apalachicola Cape San Blas, Port Saint Joe, and Mexico Beach. If you haven't you're really missing out. Keep up the great work.
Yes! Stayed in Carabel to Thanksgiving ago made a video of the police station in the entire town. Love the forgotten coast. Thank you so much watching.
Our dim-witted and clearly ignorant mayor recently made a no-so-subtle racist remark about white suburban folks eating at "Cracker Barrel." Well, I can tell you, we ALL love Cracker Barrel. It was actually suggested to the nit-wit he give it a try as it's great food and great for families. Thank you for showing this episode and the previous "haunted" episode with Cris. I love it there! Well done!
Cornbread baked in a Cast Iron Skillet is the only way I will eat it. I grew up eating this way also, and NO you don't wash them at all.The grease you use when you cook cb in it keeps it seasoned just wipe it out and put it back in the oven
Cracker barrel in Jacksonville at Regency, used to be awesome but no more. They shortened the menu, and the service is terrible. The servers try, but they are shorthanded. The food has definitely gone down hill

Jay... it speaks to your character how you value nostalgia and family. The world needs more like you.

I love Cracker Barrel! 😎
My late Mom always made meatloaf with ketchup on top and so do I. It's ok if my food touches too..

Cornbread baked in a Cast Iron Skillet is the only way I will eat it. I grew up eating this way also, and NO you don't wash them at all.The grease you use when you cook cb in it keeps it seasoned just wipe it out and put it back in the oven
This was awesome also you sound alot like adam the woo imo lol

Cracker Barrel is too good..
Also what's too good, is spooky season is another month closer
Need to find out where the first cb in georgia was.

LOL get the Coca-Cola cake to take back to the hotel trust me youll thank me later
Yes, my hubby and I often split one when we have eaten too much of the main food.
Proud of you!!❤️
I love you
Cracker barrel in Jacksonville at Regency, used to be awesome but no more. They shortened the menu, and the service is terrible. The servers try, but they are shorthanded. The food has definitely gone down hill
