Breakfast Burger with bacon, sunny-side-up egg, American cheese, and Hashbrown Casserole

We love starting our day with Cracker Barrel’s Breakfast Burger. It features a juicy half-pound beef patty topped with crispy bacon and a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg.

Melted American cheese adds a creamy touch, while their signature Hashbrown Casserole brings a comforting, cheesy crunch. All of this is served on a toasted buttermilk bun that holds everything together just right.

This burger feels like breakfast and lunch wrapped into one, making it a satisfying choice any time of day. It’s definitely worth the trip when we want a hearty, delicious meal.

Broccoli Cheese Casserole, a returning holiday favorite

We’re excited to see the Broccoli Cheese Casserole back on Cracker Barrel’s holiday menu. It’s a creamy, cheesy side that feels just right for the season.

This dish pairs perfectly with classic holiday entrees, adding a comforting and familiar touch to the meal.

It’s the kind of recipe that reminds us of home and family dinners. For those who love cheesy vegetables, this casserole is definitely worth ordering again.

Butter Pecan French Toast, a sweet seasonal treat

We love starting our holiday mornings with Cracker Barrel’s Butter Pecan French Toast. It’s thick-cut country bread soaked in a rich vanilla custard, then baked until golden.

The cheesecake filling inside adds a creamy surprise, while the praline pecan streusel on top gives a satisfying crunch. Served with butter pecan syrup, it’s a perfect balance of sweet and nutty.

This dish feels cozy and festive, making it a great choice when we want something special but familiar during the holidays. It’s one of those treats that really tastes like the season.

Cinnamon Roll Pie, perfect for dessert cravings

We love how Cracker Barrel’s Cinnamon Roll Pie combines gooey cinnamon rolls with a flaky pie crust. The sweet cream cheese icing on top makes every bite feel like a special treat.

It’s great for dessert but also works well as a cozy breakfast or brunch option. We find it’s especially fun to share during holiday gatherings.

This pie blends soft, cinnamon-sugar filling with a buttery crust, giving us comforting flavors in every slice. It’s definitely worth a stop if you’re craving something sweet.

Holiday Hot Cocoa Collection, ideal for cozy sips

We love starting our Cracker Barrel visit with a warm cup of their Holiday Hot Cocoa Collection. It’s perfect for those chilly winter days when we want something comforting and sweet.

The collection offers a variety of rich cocoa flavors, each packet just the right size for a delicious cup. Sharing this cozy treat with family or friends makes holiday moments even better.

The festive packaging adds a cheerful touch, making it a great gift or a lovely treat for ourselves. It’s simple, tasty, and fits perfectly with our holiday traditions at Cracker Barrel.
