About Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
Cracker Barrel is a roadside chain pairing country-style cooking with a working general store. The breakfast platter centerpiece is the Old Timer's Breakfast, while dinner runs through chicken n' dumplins, country fried steak, and farm-style sides plated family-style.
Across more than 40 years of operation, the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store menu has evolved into a mix of long-running classics and seasonal limited-time offers. The 34 items below are organized by menu category — appetizers and shareables first, then soups and salads, entrees, sides, desserts, and the bar program. Use the category links on each row to jump to a full comparison across every chain Menu Voyager covers.
If you are scanning prices ahead of a visit, note that Cracker Barrel Old Country Store uses a $$ price tier on Menu Voyager, with most entrees priced inside the range shown in each section. Lunch and weekday menus may apply lower fixed-price combos that are not always reflected in the standard dinner card. Where a chain runs a long-standing daily promotion (riblets at similar grill chains, Wing Tuesday at sports bars, Aussie 3-Course bundles at steakhouses) we have noted it inline.
