Lately, Cracker Barrel has been busy sprucing things up — rolling out new menu items and giving its country and old-timey decor a bit of a facelift. But sometimes, the best way to win over diners is to bring back an old favorite.
Enter: the Campfire Menu. After a seven-year break, it’s officially back.
The Campfire Menu returns
Longtime fans may remember Cracker Barrel’s Campfire Meals — hearty, foil-wrapped comfort food with a smoky kick. Well, the fire’s been rekindled. These meals are back on the menu, delivering that fireside flavor without needing bug spray or a sleeping bag.
Each dish is seasoned with Cracker Barrel’s signature Campfire spice blend, wrapped in foil, and slow-cooked to lock in that classic, camp-inspired flavor.
The full Campfire Menu includes the following:
- Campfire Shrimp Skillet – The latest addition to the Campfire menu, features grilled shrimp and andouille sausage cooked in a buttery broth with campfire-seasoned corn and potatoes, served sizzling in a cast iron skillet.
- Campfire Chicken – A savory, marinated half-chicken seasoned with campfire spices, slow-cooked with sweet corn on the cob, red skin potatoes, carrots, grape tomatoes, and onions in a buttery broth.
- Campfire Beef – Tender beef is slow-braised with the same classic campfire vegetables and spices, sealed in foil for hearty, savory goodness.
- S’mores Brownie Skillet – A nod to the experience of making s’mores over a campfire, it features a rich chocolate brownie topped with a roasted marshmallow and a melting Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar, all served warm over crumbled graham crackers and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce.
- Cinnamon Roll Skillet – A sweet follow-up to the seasonal cinnamon roll pie, this skillet serves up mini cinnamon rolls with a gooey cinnamon filling and sweet cream cheese icing.
Personally, Campfire Beef and the Cinnamon Roll Skillet are the ones calling my name. But honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of these.
So, even if camping isn’t your thing (no judgment — we prefer beds, too), you can still enjoy the best part: the food. Thanks to Cracker Barrel, you get the cozy, campfire experience — no tent required.
