Crack [best]er — Barrel New Breakfast Menu

Here’s a review of Cracker Barrel’s new breakfast menu, written as if from a satisfied diner.

The biggest shake-up is the section. You now pick a protein (including new smoked sausage links and grilled chicken sausage ), then choose from upgraded sides like loaded hashbrown casserole (with bacon and cheddar) or sweet potato barrel fries .

Cracker Barrel’s new menu is a smart refresh – familiar enough for regulars, but with enough fun twists (pancake tacos, loaded hashbrown casserole) to bring back lapsed fans. Prices are up about 5-8% ($10-14 per plate), but portion sizes remain generous. Go for the maple bacon pancake tacos; stay for the biscuits. cracker barrel new breakfast menu

4.5/5 – Worth waking up for.

They’ve added a section: an Avocado Toast on sourdough (topped with cherry tomatoes and a poached egg) and a Greek Yogurt & Berry Bowl with housemade granola. It’s not life-changing, but it’s nice to have options beyond gravy. Here’s a review of Cracker Barrel’s new breakfast

★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

Cracker Barrel has long been the go-to for stick-to-your-ribs country cooking, but their (rolling out nationwide as of early 2026) proves they’re not just resting on their biscuit legacy. I stopped by twice last week to sample the changes, and overall, I’m impressed.
