Does Cracker Barrel serve breakfast?

Yes, Cracker Barrel serves breakfast every day, all day. That is, no matter the day or time you visit the restaurant, the breakfast menu is always available as much as they are open for business.

Below are the categories of Cracker Barrel breakfast menu items you may want to avoid if you don’t want to eat foods with allergens.

FAQs

Does allergen contamination occur at Cracker Barrel?

Yes, because kitchen operations involve shared preparation and cooking areas, including common fryer oil; therefore, cross-contact of some menu items is possible.

Is it safe to eat at Cracker Barrel?

Yes, it is safe. Whether you’re looking for a gluten-free meal or avoiding other food allergens, the Cracker Barrel allergen list is a guide to keep you safe at the restaurant.

Conclusion

As a vegetarian, I can personally attest to the importance of a restaurant’s allergen menu. Not only does it make things easier for those who are allergic to certain foods, but it also makes it easier for picky eaters (like myself) to avoid foods they aren’t fond of.

As a result, I think Cracker Barrel seems to be taking the proper steps toward an allergen-aware menu. Hopefully, this being one of many steps in the right direction for the chain should lead it to a better place.
