Six  unique locations throughout Florida including the historic district in St. Augustine, Disney's Celebration City, Tampa's Ybor City, The Pier in St. Petersburg, Sand Key on Clearwater Beach and St. Armands Circle in Sarasota.

Cracker Barrel
This country restaurant and old country store is a pleasant stop along the highway for home-style meals and to stretch your legs while browsing the isles of country crafts and gifts.
