13. Cracker Barrel

Cracker Barrel is a great place for a comforting meal on January 1. The homestyle dishes and cozy atmosphere make it a perfect place for a laid-back family outing. Most locations will be open during regular hours, but it's always a good idea to check with your local branch. From chicken and dumplings to buttermilk pancakes, Cracker Barrel's menu ensures a delicious start to the new year. Combine dinner with a visit to their old-fashioned country general store for an experience to remember.
