Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is inviting guests to find comfort this season with the return of two highly requested menu items: Hamburger Steak and Eggs in the Basket. To provide even more value, these fan-favorites are now featured on the new Meals for Two menu, offering a complete homestyle dining experience starting at $19.99.
The Return of Timeless Favorites
Responding to guest demand, Cracker Barrel has brought back two staples rooted in the brand’s tradition:
-
Hamburger Steak: A classic that appeared on the very first Cracker Barrel menu in 1969. It features seasoned beef topped with savory buttery garlic sauce and can be ordered “smothered” with sautéed onions and brown gravy.
-
Eggs in the Basket: A nostalgic breakfast choice featuring two slices of golden-grilled sourdough bread with an egg nestled in the center, served with bacon or sausage and a side.

“These dishes are uniquely Cracker Barrel – rooted in tradition and loved for generations,” said Thomas Yun, Cracker Barrel VP of Menu Strategy and Innovation. “We’re thrilled to bring back classics our guests know and love, made the way they remember.”
Value-Packed Dining: Meals for Two
The new Meals for Two offering provides a complete meal designed for sharing. Available all day, Monday through Friday, the $19.99 deal includes:
-
A choice of one shareable starter or dessert.
-
Two hearty entrées, such as the Hamburger Steak, Eggs in the Basket, or the Breakfast Burger.
For an additional $5 per person, guests can further customize their meal by adding a cup of soup and a house salad.
Innovative Flavors and Seasonal Comforts
While celebrating its heritage, Cracker Barrel is also introducing the all-new Spicy Maple sauce. This bold “sweet-heat” blend uses the brand’s iconic syrup mixed with a unique blend of spices, serving as an ideal pairing for the Breakfast Burger or Crispy Tender Dippers.

Other limited-time winter comforts include:
-
The Breakfast Burger: A beef patty stacked with bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, American cheese, and a signature Hashbrown Casserole.
-
Southern BBQ Ribs: Slow-cooked ribs with a tangy and sweet brown sugar BBQ sauce, now available every day while supplies last.
-
Broccoli Cheese Casserole: A returning favorite featuring a rich cheese sauce and a buttery cracker crumble topping.
-
Grandma’s Sampler & Steak and Eggs: Hearty breakfast options featuring pancakes, French toast, or New York strip steak.
