Cracker Barrel is bringing back a menu item the restaurant chain’s most loyal customers have been requesting for years.
The company announced earlier this week the return of its Campfire Meals, allowing “devotees and new guests eager to lean into summertime flavors” to go to their local Cracker Barrel and enjoy “one of the brand’s most-requested items.”
The meals, which include an all-new Campfire Shrimp Skillet and a new S’mores Brownie Skillet, are available now for a limited time. Each meal is braised with a signature blend of Campfire Seasoning, according to Cracker Barrel, wrapped in tin foil and slow cooked to deliver the same smoky taste as a meal prepared over a campfire.
Campfire Meals returning: What’s on the menu?
The full lineup includes:
-
Campfire Shrimp Skillet: Features grilled shrimp and andouille sausage cooked in a buttery broth with campfire-seasoned corn and potatoes, served sizzling in a cast iron skillet.
-
Campfire Chicken: A savory, marinated half-chicken seasoned with campfire spices, slow-cooked with sweet corn on the cob, red skin potatoes, carrots, grape tomatoes, and onions in a buttery broth. Served with Buttermilk Biscuits or Cornbread Muffins.
-
Campfire Beef: Tender beef low-braised with the same classic campfire vegetables and spices, sealed in foil for hearty, savory goodness, and served with Buttermilk Biscuits or Cornbread Muffins.
-
S’mores Brownie Skillet: Features a rich chocolate brownie topped with a roasted marshmallow and a melting Hershey’s chocolate bar, all served warm over crumbled graham crackers and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce.
-
Cinnamon Roll Skillet: Building off the success of Cracker Barrel’s seasonal cinnamon roll pie, the skillet features delicious, fresh-baked, warm mini cinnamon rolls with a gooey cinnamon filling and topped off with sweet cream cheese icing.
“Our guests have been asking for us to bring back our Campfire Meals for years — and we heard them loud and clear,” said Sarah Moore, Chief Marketing Officer at Cracker Barrel, in a news release. “Starting at just $10.99, our Campfire Meals are so packed with flavor, they will immediately spark feelings of long summer days, endless possibilities and that unmistakable joy we feel when anything is possible.”
In addition to the Campfire Meals, a full line of campfire-inspired items are available in Cracker Barrel’s Country Store, including s’mores-flavored candies and jars of the brand’s signature Campfire Seasoning.
