Cracker Barrel Just Brought Back a Fan-Favorite Menu After 7 Years

Campfire Meals are back with sizzling new skillet items and nostalgic comfort favorites.

Fans of Cracker Barrel's Campfire Meals will be thrilled with news the chain is bringing these beloved menu items (and some new options!) back after a seven-year hiatus. Guests can enjoy the sweet, smoky flavors of campfire cooking from the comfort of their local restaurant for a limited time, starting May 6. "Our guests have been asking for us to bring back our Campfire Meals for years — and we heard them loud and clear," said Sarah Moore, Chief Marketing Officer at Cracker Barrel. Each meal starts at just $10.99, and will "immediately spark feelings of long summer days, endless possibilities and that unmistakable joy we feel when anything is possible," Moore says. Even eight years ago fans were raving about the meals, with one Redditor saying it's the best thing at the restaurant. "It's exactly like home cooking, only even better, if that makes any sense." So what's on the menu, exactly? Read on to find out more.
