"Spring hasn't quite sprung yet, but Cracker Barrel has already rolled out a menu conjuring thoughts of fresh flowers and warm weather. The restaurant known for homestyle cooking is kicking off 2026, leaning into comfort favorites with a lineup that draws on holiday classics and those sweet treats everyone hopes to find in their Easter basket. The new menu is equal parts nostalgia and new, with several fan favorites returning alongside a few first timers."
"Headlining the classics are the Ham Dinner, available in either sugar-cured or country style, the revamped Smoky Southern Salmon, and the classic Fried Catfish, along with the Carrot Cake. For anyone looking to try something new, Cracker Barrel is rolling out two scrambles: the Farmhouse Scramble and the Garden Scramble. Toss in an updated take on the Hushpuppy Dippers, a Strawberry French Toast Bake,"
"Cracker Barrel hosted this experience at my local restaurant, so I was able to try everything on the new menu and then some. Once the food arrived at my table, I snapped some photos before diving in. I took a few bites of each meal and evaluated the food based on taste, texture, appearance, and aroma. Like any review, the final thoughts are subjective. Cracker Barrel covered the cost of the meal."
