CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE, INC.
- --------------------------------------

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------

1.  Condensed Financial Statements
    ------------------------------

     The condensed balance sheet as of January 28, 1994 and the related
condensed statements of income and cash flows for the quarters and six-month
periods ended January 28, 1994 and January 29, 1993, have been prepared by
the Company, without audit; in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
including normal recurring accruals, have been made for a fair presentation
of such condensed financial statements.

     These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual
report for the year ended July 30, 1993.

     Deloitte & Touche, the Company's independent accountants, have performed
a limited review of the financial information included herein.  Their report
on such review accompanies this filing.

2.  Long Term Debt 
    --------------

     The Company elected to prepay the following two outstanding debt issues
during the second quarter of fiscal year 1994, unsecured notes payable of
$6,800,000 and Industrial Development Revenue Bonds of $3,465,000.  The
unsecured notes payable of $6,800,000 had annual installments of $800,000 
through  1999,  and  a  final installment due  August 5, 2000.  The annual
interest rate on the notes was 9.5% through 1997 and thereafter at a rate
equal to the U.S. Treasury Note rate plus 1.2%.  The $3,465,000 Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds were redeemable in annual installments of $700,000
from December 1, 2009 through December 1, 2012, with a final installment due
on December 1, 2013, with interest at an annual rate of 8.5%.

3.  Income Taxes
    ------------ 

     The provision for income taxes for the quarter and six-month period
ended January 28, 1994 has been computed based on management's estimate of
the tax rate for the entire fiscal year.  The variation between the statutory
tax rate and the effective tax rate is due primarily to credits for FICA tax
on tips above minimum wage and targeted jobs tax credits.

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", effective July 31, 1993.  This
Statement supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11, "Accounting
for Income Taxes", which was the Company's prior method of accounting for
income taxes.  The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 on the
Company's financial statements increased income by $988,262 ($0.02
per share), for the six months ended January 28, 1994.  The adjustment
represents the impact of adjusting deferred taxes to new rates as opposed to
the higher tax rates in effect when the deferred taxes originated.

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  



     Significant components of the Company's net deferred tax liability 
as of July 31, 1993 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:

     Financial accruals without economic performance       $ 3,778,730
     Other                                                     797,357
                                                           -----------
                                                             4,576,087
                                                           -----------
Deferred tax liabilities:
     
     Excess tax depreciation over book                       8,235,680
     Other                                                      35,076
                                                           -----------
                                                             8,270,756
                                                           -----------

Net deferred tax liability                                 $(3,694,669)
                                                           ===========

     The Company provided no valuation allowance against deferred 
tax assets recorded as of July 31, 1993 and January 28, 1994, as the 
"more-likely-than-not" valuation method determined all deferred assets 
to be fully realizable in future taxable periods.

     The  provision  for  income  tax  expense  for  the  six  months  ended 
January 28, 1994 was $14,087,767 of which $13,987,767 is current income tax
expense and $100,000 is deferred income tax expense.  The Company's effective
tax rate for fiscal year 1994 is estimated to be 37.7%.

     The  provision  for  income  tax  expense  for  the  six  months  ended 
January 29, 1993 was $10,625,714 of which $10,525,714 was current income tax
expense and $100,000 was deferred income tax expense.

     The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal year 1993 was 37.4%.  The
adoption of SFAS No. 109 had no impact on the Company's effective tax rate
for fiscal years 1993 or 1994.

4.  Seasonality     
    ----------- 

     The sales and profits of the Company are affected significantly by
seasonal travel and vacation patterns because of its interstate highway
locations.  Historically, the Company's greatest sales and profits have
occurred during the period of June through August.  Early December through
the last part of February, excluding the Christmas holidays, has historically
been the period of lowest sales and profits.  Therefore, the results of
operations for the quarter and six-month period ended January 28, 1994 cannot
be considered indicative of the operating results for the full year.

5.  Stock Split
    -----------

     Per share amounts and average common and common equivalent shares for
the quarter and six-month period ended January 29, 1993 have been restated to
give effect to the three-for-two stock split in March 1993.

6.  Reclassifications
    -----------------

     Certain reclassifications have been made in the January 29, 1993 and
July 31, 1992 condensed balance sheets to conform to the classifications used
in fiscal 1994 and in the 1993 annual report for the purpose of preparing the
January 29, 1993 condensed statement of cash flows.

     Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 increased 26% over
last year's second quarter.  Same store restaurant sales increased 3.7%,
including .5% in real terms.  Same store gift shop sales increased 9.9%. 
Sales from new stores accounted for the remainder of the increase.  Net
sales for the six months ended January 28, 1994, increased 25% over the
six month period ended January 29, 1993.  Same store restaurant sales
increased 3.9%, including .8% in real terms and same store gift shop
sales increased 7.0%.  Sales from new stores accounted for the remainder
of the increase.

     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales were 35.8% in the
second quarter of this year compared to 35.0% in the same period a year
ago.  This increase was primarily due to an increasing mix of gift shop
sales, which have a higher cost than restaurant sales.  In addition,
this increase was partially due to an increase in restaurant cost of
goods sold as a percentage of sales, which was primarily due to a new
seasonal promotion instituted in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
For the six months ended January 28, 1994, cost of goods sold were 34.4%
compared to 33.9% for the same period a year ago.  This increase was
primarily due to both an increasing mix of gift shop sales, which have
a higher cost than restaurant sales, and due to an increase in food
cost.  

     Total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 53.7%
and 53.4% in the quarter and six-month period ended January 28, 1994,
compared to 54.4% and 54.1%, respectively, in the same periods a year 
ago.  The decreases in store operating expenses as a percent to net
sales were primarily due to increased volume.  General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were lower this year
compared to the second quarter and six-month period of last year
primarily due to higher volume.

     Interest expense decreased to $751,538 and $1,373,720 for the
quarter and six-month period ended January 28, 1994 from $769,792 and
$1,578,283, respectively, in the same periods a year ago.  The decreases
were primarily due to lower average debt outstanding during the quarter
and six-month period ended January 28, 1994.  Interest income increased
to $892,543 and $1,946,056 in the quarter and six-month period ended
January 28, 1994 from $332,114 and $793,216, respectively, in the same
periods a year ago.  The primary reason for the increase in interest
income was higher average funds available for investment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company's operating activities provided net cash of $20.8
million for the six months ended January 28, 1994.  Net income adjusted
by depreciation and amortization provided most of the cash.  Decreases
in accounts payable, increases in inventories and decreases in other
current assets and liabilities partially offset the cash provided by net
income adjusted by depreciation and amortization.

     Capital expenditures were $20.6 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1994 and $46.7 million for the six months ended January 28,1994. 
Land purchases and cost of new stores accounted for substantially all 
of these expenditures.   The  gift shop warehouse expansion capital
expenditures  were  $3.2  million  for  the  six-month  period  ended
January 28, 1994.



     The Company's internally generated cash and short-term and long-
term investments were sufficient to finance all of its growth in the
first six months of fiscal 1994.

     The Company estimates that its capital expenditures for fiscal 1994
will be approximately $100 million, substantially all of which will be
land purchases and cost of new stores, except for $4 million relating to
the gift shop warehouse expansion.  Management believes that cash and
short-term and long-term investments at January 28, 1994,  along with
cash generated from the Company's operating activities, will be
sufficient to finance its continued expansion in fiscal 1994 and its
continued expansion plans through fiscal 1997.  Presently the Company
has an unused revolving credit line of $15 million.



INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc.

We have made a review of the condensed balance sheet of
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. as of January 28,
1994, and the related condensed statements of income and cash
flows for the quarters and six-month periods ended January
28, 1994 and January 29, 1993, in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.

A review of interim financial information consists
principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for
the preparation of interim financial information, applying
analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries
of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.
It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to such condensed financial
statements for them to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the balance sheet of Cracker
Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. as of July 30, 1993, and the
related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in
our report dated September 10, 1993, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements.  In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed balance sheet as of July 30, 1993 is fairly stated,
in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet
from which it has been derived.
