Cracker Barrel Revives Campfire Meals for Summer 2026

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is excited to announce the return of its beloved Campfire Meals for a limited summer run, showcasing a selection of fan-favorite dishes that highlight the comforting flavors of outdoor cooking, all without the hassle of pitching a tent or dealing with pesky bugs. This season, guests can look forward to indulging in classic meals such as the foil-wrapped Campfire Chicken and Campfire Beef, both expertly seasoned with Cracker Barrel's signature campfire spices and slow-cooked for an unforgettable taste experience.

Bringing Campfire Traditions to the Table

Since their debut nearly three decades ago, Campfire Meals have consistently captured the hearts of diners. Known for their hearty portions and nostalgic appeal, these meals evoke fond memories of summer gatherings. The convenience of enjoying such traditional meals from the comfort of the restaurant makes them all the more inviting.

This year, Cracker Barrel introduces a brand new addition to the Campfire lineup: the Campfire Breakfast Skillet. This hearty dish is designed to celebrate the slower pace of summer mornings while offering a satisfying start to the day. Featuring bacon, smoked sausage, roasted red peppers, and onions, the skillet is topped with Colby cheese and sits atop three fluffy scrambled eggs, seasoned with the brand's special Campfire Seasoning. The accompanying crispy Country Homestyle Potatoes add the perfect touch to this fulfilling breakfast experience.

Highlights of the Campfire Menu

• - Campfire Chicken Meal: A savory, marinated half-chicken paired with sweet corn on the cob and accompanied by red skin potatoes, carrots, grape tomatoes, and onions, all slow-cooked in a buttery broth.
• - Campfire Beef Meal: Tender brisket is slowly braised with classic campfire vegetables and spices, wrapped in foil for maximum flavor.
• - S'mores Brownie Skillet: Inspired by the classic campfire treat, this dessert features a rich chocolate brownie topped with a roasted marshmallow and HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Bar, served warm over crumbled graham crackers.

New Beverages to Cool Down the Summer

To complement the nostalgic meals, Cracker Barrel offers refreshing beverages perfect for summer. Highlights include the S'mores Latte, a creamy drink made with espresso and chocolate, and the Watermelon Lemonade, a delightful twist on the classic beverage, both designed to keep guests cool during the warmer months.

Celebrating Americana with New Desserts
