Exciting news for DFW diners hungry for the comfort of home but the pleasure of enjoying a meal out. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is bringing comfort food and a cozy atmosphere to Prosper next year, reports Community Impact.

The bastion of Southern hospitality will be setting up shop at 3830 West University Drive. Paperwork filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation associated with the location shows that Cracker Barrel’s Prosper home will occupy 11,028 square feet. 

The restaurant has been in development for quite some time; forms were initially submitted in 2023. Now, however, a finish line is in sight. A Cracker Barrel company representative states that the concept will be opening in early spring of 2026.

Cracker Barrel has been a fan-favorite since its debut in 1969. The chain owes a great deal of its enduring popularity to its welcoming atmosphere-the website explains: ‘From the start, our values have been simple: hard work, family, and hospitality that feels like home. Cracker Barrel first opened to give travelers a good place to stop and enjoy themselves. And these many years later, we hope our guests near and far feel the same.”

Of course, any restaurant, however cozy, is only as successful as its food. Fortunately, Cracker Barrel’s menu offers plenty of hearty and delicious fare. Prosper can look forward to all-day breakfast alongside dishes like herb roasted chicken dinners, meatloaf, and turkey and dressing.
