Cracker Barrel will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday 364 days a year. The only day it will close is Christmas.

Several walls in this store are dedicated to celebrating the Ridley community, including authentic artifacts that pay homage to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Philadelphia’s rich history during the founding of our country.
