The Absolute Best Things to Order from Cracker Barrel
The restaurant’s biscuits often make our list thanks to their delicious flavor and flaky soft texture. But you’d be surprised how many ways you can upgrade a simple biscuit and some of Cracker Barrel’s best menu items to turn these biscuits into a tasty meal or side dish. Cracker Barrel’s chicken strips also get rave reviews but some of the hidden gems are new ways to prepare them combinations that amp up the flavor or added sauces that make them even more delicious. There are also seasonal selections of must-order sides and drinks that will become a regular part of your Cracker Barrel favorites. Here are a few of ours.
This newer menu item doesn’t have the following of some of the old favorites but it’s definitely worth checking out. It combines crispy chicken with hot honey drizzle a condiment that’s practically flying off the shelves and getting a lot of attention in restaurants. Honey has long been a staple in home cooking but the addition of spicy heat makes it unique. The hot honey is drizzled on top but you can also ask for it on the side as a dipping sauce if you prefer. It’s also a great way to get the dish with shredded chicken and adjust the heat to your preference or leave it out altogether if you’re sharing with someone who doesn’t want sauce.
You can order it as a platter or sandwich which is a great option for lunch. The sandwich comes with fries that you can also dip in the hot honey sauce. Ask for extra on the side and sauce over your chicken to really pump up the heat. The same chicken strips are also available with sweet mustard BBQ sauce. You can get small bowls of both sauces and mix them together for a sweet spicy and tangy combination.
