Cracker Barrel Introduces New Breakfast Skillet for the Return of Seasonal Campfire Meals
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store has announced the limited-time summer return of its iconic Campfire Meals, a seasonal tradition that first debuted nearly 30 years ago. The menu features the fan-favorite foil-wrapped chicken and beef entrées, seasoned with signature spices and slow-cooked to deliver bold, comforting flavors without the need for an actual campsite. Originally introduced in the late 1990s, these hearty dishes have remained a guest favorite for their nostalgic take on outdoor cooking.
New Breakfast Traditions at Cracker Barrel
For the first time, the brand is expanding these seasonal flavors to the start of the day with the debut of the Campfire Breakfast Skillet. Available all day, this new offering aims to provide a savory, camp-style start for guests.
“Campfire Meals have been part of our story for nearly three decades, and every time they return, our guests remind us how meaningful this tradition is,” said Sarah Moore, Chief Marketing Officer at Cracker Barrel. Moore noted that the expansion into breakfast allows guests to experience this long-standing tradition in a fresh way.
Iconic Foil-Wrapped Entrées and Seasonal Treats
The core of the summer menu remains the slow-cooked, foil-wrapped meals designed to seal in moisture and flavor.
