Cracker Barrel Brings Back Hamburger Steak and Eggs in the Basket Nationwide
The company frames the return as a response to guest requests after backlash over recent changes.
Overview
- Cracker Barrel announced the nationwide reinstatement of Hamburger Steak and Eggs in the Basket, saying both are returning by popular demand.
- Hamburger Steak dates to the chain’s 1969 opening menu, while Eggs in the Basket features toasted sourdough with an egg in the center, served with bacon or sausage and a side.
- Both dishes are included in the Meals for Two value offer priced at $19.99, available all day Monday through Friday.
- Vice president of menu strategy Thomas Yun called the items timeless favorites and among the most requested by guests.
- The rollout accompanies limited winter additions such as a Breakfast Burger, Southern BBQ Ribs, and Broccoli Cheese Casserole, following recent customer backlash over a logo redesign and a New Year’s black‑eyed peas omission.
