Cracker Barrel Just Announced an Exciting New Spring Menu
Spring is just two weeks away. To welcome the upcoming season, Cracker Barrel has unveiled a new lineup of seasonal menu offerings and new heat-and-serve meals just in time for Easter.
For those seeking something sweet, the country-themed restaurant chain just rolled out its new Fresh Berry French Toast Bake (the only nutritional info listed is that the dish is 960 calories). This menu item features the chain's usual French toast with the addition of fresh strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. It's also served with strawberry syrup and your choice of bacon or sausage.
Another new French toast option is the Fresh Blueberry French Toast Bake Take Home Meal. Through this offering, customers who order any entrée can add the new Blueberry French Toast Bake (820 calories) to their order for $5. This menu item features thick-cut bread soaked in vanilla custard with cheesecake filling, blueberries, and strawberry syrup.
Customers can also score three limited-time seasonal menu items, which include the Golden Carolina BBQ Chicken Tenders (620 calories) and two cherry-flavored beverages.
Now available nationwide, the new Golden Carolina BBQ Tenders consist of fried chicken tenders tossed in a sweet and tangy golden BBQ sauce. These are served with a choice of two sides and buttermilk biscuits or corn muffins. This offering will be available until the end of the summer while supplies last.
Moving into beverages, Cracker Barrel describes its new Sweet Cherry Spritzer (calories not available) as "the perfect spring-inspired wine cocktail." This drink pairs cherry and Roscato Moscato wine with a "splash" of Sprite. Customers can only score this new boozy beverage at participating locations.
If you're looking for a non-alcoholic drink, Cracker Barrel just released its Country Cherry Lemonade (430 calories), which combines Cracker Barrel's lemonade with sweet cherry. Customers can enjoy this beverage by ordering bottomless refills in-restaurant or opting for the 1/2-gallon to-go option (1310 calories). Both cherry-flavored beverages will be available until May 6 while supplies last.
