Cracker Barrel Nutrition Facts

About Cracker Barrel's menu

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store operates more than 660 locations, primarily along U.S. interstates. The menu is rooted in Southern country cooking — country-fried steak, biscuits, hashbrown casserole, all-day breakfast — and the restaurants pair with the chain's general store retail concept. Nutrition data is posted on crackerbarrel.com.

Across the 40 entries we track from Cracker Barrel, average calorie load lands at 412 per serving, with the lightest item at 80 calories and the heaviest at 1330 calories. Average sodium is 903mg, which is broadly consistent with the casual-dining segment's reliance on brined proteins, finishing sauces and seasoned sides. Average protein delivery per entrée is 23g.

The chain publishes its own legal nutrition disclosure online — that disclosure is the canonical source of the per-item numbers we list here. Where the chain's published values are missing or look inconsistent with the underlying ingredients, we cross-reference against USDA FoodData Central reference values for the relevant components and flag the dish in our internal review queue.

How to read the table above

Calorie counts are flagged green for items under 500 calories, amber for 500–900, and red for anything above 900 — the rough breakpoints between a light meal, a normal restaurant entrée, and an indulgent plate. Sodium values can run very high in casual-dining kitchens because the standard line uses brined proteins, jarred sauces and seasoned starches; anything over 1,500mg in a single dish is worth weighing against the rest of your day.

If you have allergies

Every item page on this site lists the allergens flagged in Cracker Barrel's public allergen panel. Cross-contact in a shared kitchen is always possible, even when the dish itself doesn't list the allergen. For severe allergies, the standard precaution is to ask the floor manager — not just the server — to confirm the kitchen can safely accommodate the request before you commit to ordering.
