Sweet-Heat Restaurant Menus

The Cracker Barrel Summer Menu is Packed with Seasonal Flavor

The Cracker Barrel summer menu is being rolled out by the restaurant chain in anticipation of the warm weather months to provide diners with the perfect range of options for their next meal.

The menu includes several sweet-heat options that put the swicy -- sweet and spicy -- flavor profile in the spotlight including the Bee Sting Chicken Sandwich and the Bee Sting Chicken Tenders. The menu also includes the New York Stripe Steak, Watermelon Lemonade, Watermelon Spritzer and Mimosa Pitchers. The various items are great together, but can also be added to a meal as a way to liven up an order of favorites.

The Cracker Barrel summer menu is arriving now at participating locations, but will only be offered through August 4, 2024.
