Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, a one-stop shop for country fried steak, country music on CDs, and smock dresses, will open May 13 along the 210 Freeway in Rialto.

The store is at 1080 W. Renaissance Parkway. It’s part of Renaissance East, a development across N. Ayala Drive from the new Renaissance Marketplace shopping center.

The 10,000 square foot-plus building is divided between a family restaurant and a store selling home decor, clothing, toys, curios, and Americana.

Like other locations in the Nashville area chain, it has a long porch filled with rocking chairs for relaxation and for sale.

The dining room will be decorated with items out of Cracker Barrel’s antiques warehouse in Lebanon, Tenn.

The state’s first Cracker Barrel caused a stir when it opened 14 months ago in Victorville with diners lining up at midnight for the all-day breakfasts and a visit by an Indiana couple who had visited every one of the chain’s then 649 locations.

The chain now has 659 stores in 45 states and two more in California, in Sacramento and Santa Maria.
