Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is welcoming winter with the return of two menu classics and an all-new flavor innovation. Starting today, guests can enjoy the beloved Hamburger Steak and Eggs in The Basket, both back by popular demand, alongside the introduction of Spicy Maple sauce. These offerings anchor Cracker Barrel’s winter Meals for Two promotion, available Monday through Friday starting at $19.99.
Hamburger Steak Returns to Cracker Barrel Menu After Guest Requests
The Hamburger Steak makes its comeback as one of Cracker Barrel’s most requested dishes. This menu staple first appeared when the restaurant chain opened its doors in 1969. The dish features seasoned beef topped with savory buttery garlic sauce, served with two or three classic sides and warm made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits or corn muffins. Guests can order it smothered with sautéed onions and rich brown gravy for traditional Southern-style preparation.
“Bringing back Hamburger Steak and Eggs in The Basket was an easy choice,” said Thomas Yun, Cracker Barrel VP of Menu Strategy and Innovation. “Not only are they timeless favorites with deep roots on our menu, but they’re also among the most requested dishes from our guests.”
Eggs in The Basket Makes Nostalgic Breakfast Return
The Eggs in The Basket breakfast offering returns as a nostalgic favorite. This dish features two slices of golden-grilled sourdough bread with an egg nestled in the center, served with bacon or sausage and one classic side. The breakfast item joins the winter lineup as part of Cracker Barrel’s focus on comfort classics.
