We’ve gathered six new seasonal dishes that Cracker Barrel fans are talking about because they offer a perfect balance of comfort and creativity worth trying. Whether you’re a regular or just curious about what’s new, these picks highlight the best of the latest menu offerings.
Uncle Herschel’s Favorite Breakfast Plate
We’re excited that Cracker Barrel brought back Uncle Herschel’s Favorite Breakfast. It’s a classic dish that’s been around since 1985 and remains a fan favorite.
The plate comes with two farm-fresh eggs cooked just how we like them. We can choose from traditional meats like Country Ham or try something new, like the premium New York Strip Steak.
It’s served with two sides, plus biscuits and gravy. We especially appreciate the option to swap sides, making it easy to customize our meal just right.
French Toast/Cheesecake Hybrid
One of the most talked-about new dishes is the French toast and cheesecake blend. It combines the rich creaminess of cheesecake with the warm, comforting texture of French toast.
We love how this hybrid balances sweet and savory flavors together. The dish features thick bread soaked in vanilla custard with a cheesecake filling inside. Topped with fried apples, it’s a cozy treat that feels like a special indulgence.
It’s perfect for those mornings when we want something a little different but still familiar. Many fans say it’s quickly becoming a fall favorite worth trying.
Oreo Cheesecake Pancakes
We’ve definitely found a sweet spot with Cracker Barrel’s Oreo Cheesecake Pancakes. These pancakes are stuffed with a creamy cheesecake filling, making every bite rich and indulgent.
Topped with Oreo cookie pieces, whipped cream, and a drizzle of chocolate, this dish brings a fun twist to a classic breakfast. It’s perfect for those mornings when we want something special and a little decadent.
Creole-Style Shrimp
We’re excited about Cracker Barrel’s new Creole-Style Shrimp dishes this spring. The Louisiana-Style Shrimp Skillet features grilled shrimp covered in a zesty Creole sauce. It’s served over seasoned rice with grilled Parmesan bread for dipping.
Another favorite is the Shrimp n’ Grits. It combines tender shrimp and smoky andouille sausage sautéed with fresh veggies, all simmered in the same flavorful Creole sauce. These dishes add a tasty Southern twist to the menu that feels both comforting and fresh.
Strawberry Icebox Pie
We love how the Strawberry Icebox Pie brings a fresh and simple sweetness to the table. It features a creamy filling nestled in a graham cracker crust, topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
This no-bake dessert feels light and refreshing, perfect for warmer days or anytime we want something easy yet satisfying. It’s a great way to enjoy strawberries in a cool, creamy form that pairs well with any meal.
Country Fried Turkey
We love how Cracker Barrel brings back the Country Fried Turkey every holiday season. It’s two golden fried turkey tenderloins topped with rich pan gravy that feels just like home.
The dish comes with cranberry relish and a choice of sides, usually buttermilk biscuits or corn. It’s simple, comforting, and a perfect way for us to enjoy classic holiday flavors any time.
