In Texas, Cracker Barrel first opened in 1993 in San Antonio, followed by opening its first location in West El Paso in 1995, making this new location at Eastlake the 54th Texas location and its 665th overall.

The new 10,000+ square-foot building (plus front porch) will accommodate 170 guests at one time, offering quality home-style food and an in-store unique shopping experience that will require hiring over 100 full and part-time employees.

Known for its southern country theme and rocking chairs, the restaurant is where you will find some of the most mouthwatering comfort food. Favorite picks include their ever-popular Southern fried chicken, pot pies, biscuits and gravy, and chicken-fried steak, while the gift shop offers unique artisanal items to toys for the little ones and is sure to please everyone on your list.

So, when does Cracker Barrel plan to open at Eastlake Marketplace Center?

Cracker Barrel's target opening date is set for later this spring and will be located at 13381 Gateway West, El Paso, TX, 79928.
