Breakfast Features

If you enjoy a good omelet, you should be pleased by Cracker Barrel’s new Baked Country Casserole. They mix eggs, vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped onions and bacon, and then oven-bake it in a country skillet until it’s light and fluffy.

Cracker Barrel is also featuring a guest favorite this winter – the Smoked Sausage Skillet.

It’s topped with two eggs, cooked to order, plus melted cheese. It also comes with homemade buttermilk biscuits for $6.99.

Lunch/Dinner Features – Served Daily Starting at 11 a.m.

Cracker Barrel’s new Chicken n’ Vegetable Biscuit Pot Pie lets you indulge in a hearty, comforting meal while getting your vegetables too.

Or try the new Mushroom-Braised Pot Roast, featuring thick-cut USDA chuck roast, slow-cooked in their own mushroom sauce.
