Cracker Barrel recently scrapped its controversial rebrand after backlash over dropping its “Uncle Herschel” character. While the company is bringing back its classic logo, it’s also rolling out fresh menu items this fall. From breakfast classics to hearty dinners and sweet desserts, here are 7 new Cracker Barrel dishes to look out for.
- Uncle Herschel’s Favorite
Back by popular demand, this breakfast plate includes two eggs cooked to order with your choice of Sugar Cured Ham, Country Ham, Fried Catfish Fillet, Crispy Tender Dippers, or—new this year—a premium New York Strip Steak. It’s served with Hashbrown Casserole or Fried Apples, Buttermilk Biscuits, Sawmill Gravy, and Grits. - Butter Pecan French Toast Bake
