Explore the Cracker Barrel Winter Menu featuring the return of the Hamburger Steak. Enjoy comfort food deals on the Cracker Barrel Winter Menu today!

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is starting the new year by leaning into its roots. The brand officially launched its Cracker Barrel Winter Menu, featuring the return of a 1969 original, bold new flavor innovations, and a budget-friendly Meals for Two deal starting at just $19.99. This seasonal rollout focuses on “craveable comfort,” aimed at bringing guests together during the coldest months of the year.

“Winter calls for comfort and connection, and nothing delivers that better than the classics,” said Thomas Yun, Cracker Barrel VP of Menu Strategy and Innovation. “Bringing back Hamburger Steak and Eggs in The Basket was an easy choice. Not only are they timeless favorites with deep roots on our menu, but they’re also among the most requested dishes from our guests. These dishes are uniquely Cracker Barrel – rooted in tradition and loved for generations – and we’re thrilled to bring back classics our guests know and love, made the way they remember.”

Cracker Barrel Winter Menu: The Return of a 1969 Original

The highlight of the Cracker Barrel Winter Menu is the return of the Hamburger Steak, a fan favorite that appeared on Cracker Barrel’s very first menu more than 50 years ago. The dish features a juicy, seasoned beef patty topped with a savory buttery garlic sauce. For those looking for the ultimate southern experience, the Hamburger Steak can be ordered “smothered” with sautéed onions and rich brown gravy. It is served with a choice of two or three classic country sides and made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits or corn muffins.

Also returning is the beloved Eggs in The Basket, a nostalgic breakfast favorite featuring two slices of golden-grilled sourdough bread with an egg nestled in the center, served with bacon or sausage and one classic side.

New Flavors: Spicy Maple and More

The Cracker Barrel Winter Menu also introduces a modern twist on a classic pantry staple with its new Spicy Maple sauce. This “sweet heat” innovation blends the brand’s signature 100% pure natural syrup with a unique mix of bold spices.

The Spicy Maple sauce is featured prominently on:

• The Breakfast Burger: A signature beef patty stacked with bacon, a fried egg, American cheese, and Cracker Barrel’s famous Hashbrown Casserole.
• Crispy Tender Dippers: Hand-breaded chicken tenders served with the guest’s choice of dipping sauces.

“This isn’t just another trend; it’s a flavor innovation rooted in tradition,” said Yun. “We’ve taken a beloved ingredient and given it a bold, spicy twist that’s as distinctive as it is delicious.”

Exceptional Value: Meals for Two

Recognizing the post-holiday need for value, the Cracker Barrel Winter Menu includes an expanded Meals for Two offering. Available Monday through Friday, this deal includes:

• One Shareable: Choice of a starter or a dessert to share.
