Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is bringing back its seasonal Campfire Meals, reviving the foil-wrapped chicken and beef entrées that have built a following over nearly three decades.
Available for a limited time nationwide, the returning menu centers on two familiar options. The Campfire Chicken features a marinated half chicken slow-cooked in foil with corn on the cob, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and onions. The Campfire Beef delivers a similar setup, with slow-braised beef and vegetables sealed in foil for a hearty, comfort-focused dish.
New this year is the Campfire Breakfast Skillet, which expands the lineup into morning territory. The all-day offering combines scrambled eggs, bacon, smoked sausage, peppers, onions, and Colby cheese, all seasoned with the brand’s campfire spices and served with crispy Country Homestyle Potatoes and biscuits.
The chain is also rolling out a set of camp-inspired desserts. The S’mores Brownie Skillet stacks a warm brownie with a roasted marshmallow and a Hershey's milk chocolate bar over graham crackers and ice cream, while a Cinnamon Roll Skillet adds a gooey, icing-topped option to the mix.
Drinks follow the same theme, including a S’mores Latte, Watermelon Lemonade, and a Watermelon Mimosa for those looking for something lighter.
Alongside the campfire lineup, Cracker Barrel is introducing limited-time Americana desserts tied to the upcoming U.S. semiquincentennial celebration, including a dressed-up version of its Coca-Cola cake and a Cherry Coke float.
First introduced in the late 1990s, Campfire Meals have returned seasonally due to customer demand, becoming a staple of the brand’s summer menu.
