'Tis The Season
Everyone who (rightfully) panicked when Cracker Barrel announced their minimalist rebrand, you have nothing to worry about. The holiday menu isn't going anywhere. CB announced their 2025 holiday menu at the end of October and it's filled with beloved favorites along with showstopping new items. So, pull up a chair while we fix you a plate off the new menu.
Let's start off with some returning champions.
First up, CB's signature country-fried steak and succulent fried chicken take a seasonal backseat while Country Fried Turkey gets its time to shine. This entrée includes two pieces of hand-breaded turkey fried to delicious golden brown, as well as herb gravy, cranberry relish, two sides—don't miss out on the Broccoli Cheese Casserole—and your choice of biscuits or muffins. Other mains include the Big Easy Steak & Shrimp loaded with creole flavors and several day-of-the-week exclusives for Saturday through Monday.
If you come to Cracker Barrel for the breakfast, you also have some returning faves to look forward for. Go light with the Good Morning Breakfast of egg whites, tomatoes, and turkey sausage, or load up on the antacids for in preparation for the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Breakfast. Of course, you can also pay your respects by enjoying Uncle Herschel's Favorite Breakfast of two eggs, your choice of meat, two sides (coarse ground grits are recommended) along with biscuits and gravy.
Wash down your meal with a glass of Merry Berry Tea and a slice of pie—available in cinnamon roll, pumpkin, apple streusel, pecan, or chocolate pecan.
New Faves
Moving onto new items that are sure to gain a cult following, Cracker Barrel offers some of their most exciting items of the year. Starting off with their Breakfast Burger, this half-pound beef behemoth is topped with gooey American cheese, bacon, hashbrown casserole, and a sunny-side up egg. Or, if you have an insatiable sweet tooth, check out the Butter Pecan French Toast Bake featuring country bread filled with cheesecake and soaked in vanilla custard. Hey, wipe that drool off your keyboard!
The non-breakfast mains don't disappoint either. Sink your teeth into Herb Roasted Chicken coated in citrus sauce or take a bite of the Creole Catfish that comes with a fried onion straws and the option to upgrade to three—yes, three sides.
Speaking of sides, the newest members of Cracker Barrel's endless side options Cheesy Grits made with Colby cheese, and Sausage & Egg Hashbrown Casserole.
Heat and Serve
If all that sounds so delicious you're contemplating leaving the frozen turkey at the grocery store, Cracker Barrel has you covered. The chain is once again offering their Heat & Serve Feast for 8-10 or Family Dinner for 4-6. Cracker Barrel makes feeding the whole family easy with their Thanksgiving (turkey) and Christmas (ham or prime rib) feasts. Each option comes with a delectable assortment of sides sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. You can even tack on a pie or French toast bake to your order.
Heat & Serve meals are made to be reheated later, so you don't need to toil over a hot stove instead of spending quality time with your family. Get your orders in early—they're sure to go fast!
The full holiday menu is too succulent and extensive for us to sum up here. Give it a peek on Cracker Barrel's website.
