Cracker Barrel's Latest Update Has Fans Saying "It's About Time!"
Cracker Barrel has been causing a stir lately with a new, updated look at select locations across the U.S., but their latest announcement is actually a throwback. The fan-favorite restaurant is reviving a menu item that was retired seven years ago, and diners seem thrilled with the news.
Cracker Barrel just revealed that their Campfire Meals are back. All locations will see the return of these favorites on May 6, just in time for summer. The meals come braised with a signature blend of Campfire Seasoning, wrapped in tin foil and slow cooked. Choose from Campfire Shrimp Skillet (grilled shrimp, andouille sausage, corn, and potatoes), Campfire Chicken (marinated half-chicken with corn on the cob, red skin potatoes, carrots, grape tomatoes, and onions), or Campfire Beef (like the chicken meal but with tender beef).
You'll want to save room for dessert too. The new S'mores Brownie Skillet is a nod to the summertime favorite. It features a brownie topped with a roasted marshmallow and a chocolate bar, served warm crumbled graham crackers and paired with vanilla ice cream. The summer menu update also includes a new cinnamon roll skillet with fresh-baked mini cinnamon rolls topped with cream cheese icing.
Cracker Barrel teased the news on Instagram, and fans left messages like, "AHHH im excited!!!🫶🏼🫶🏼" and "Campfire meals >>> everything else." Another wrote, "CAMPFIRE MEALS!!!! It's about time!!!!"
Of course, some commenters took the opportunity to make further demands. Requests included fixins, more vegetarian options, apple cobbler, sourdough rolls, squash casserole, and more.
Let us know: What menu item do you want Cracker Barrel to bring back next?

Hollow Knight: Silksong disappointment hits its peak as Team Cherry gets a mention at Summer Game Fest, only to be replaced by Deadpool VR
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There was an audible groan as Geoff Keighley name-dropped Hollow Knight: Silksong on stage at Summer Game Fest, only to bait-and-switch us with a Deadpool VR game. Obviously, we've been waiting for Silksong for years, so when Keighley read a fake note from his production team which riffed on the idea of 'you can put that Hollow Knight Silksong trailer away and replace it with this', you know he knew exactly what he was doing. To be clear, he said the words "Hollow Knight Silksong trailer," and then threw them back in our face. The Deadpool VR game looks like it might be pretty good if you're into that kind of thing, with plenty of pretty gnarly movement and the kind of potty-talk you'd expect from the merc with a mouth. It's even a very impressive bit of voice work, Neil Patrick Harris standing in as Wade and doing such a good job that I genuinely thought the devs had managed to pin Ryan Reynolds down. It's got the vibes down, but the problem is that the vibes really don't account for dangling what would have been the show's biggest announcement in front of players. The wait for Silksong has been so long that I'm pretty sure we've heard a joke like that on a major, potentially even Keighley-shaped stage in recent memory. But it's at fever pitch right now because, as we get into one of the biggest announcement periods of the year, Hollow Knight: Silksong 's Steam backend has been a veritable hive of activity. That might mean nothing, but when you've had a community on tenterhooks for years, a bait-and-switch like that one is doubly hurtful. Keep all the way up to date with our Summer Game Fest schedule.

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' to Star Milo Ventimiglia, Kiernan Shipka and Michael Rooker; New Game Follows David Mason in Year 2035 (EXCLUSIVE)
Microsoft's Activision is shaking up its long-running 'Call of Duty' franchise with a break from tradition and some A-list stars. At the conclusion of Xbox Games Showcase 2025 on Sunday, 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' was unveiled as the next planned 'CoD' game from Treyarch and Raven Software. With the debut of 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 6' just last fall, this marks the first time ever that two 'Black Ops' installments have been released back to back in the life cycle of the 'Call of Duty' franchise. More from Variety Xbox Ally Handheld Console to Launch This Year From Microsoft 'Deadpool' VR Game Starring Neil Patrick Harris Set From Meta Quest, Marvel New 'Game of Thrones' PC Strategy Game 'War for Westeros' to Launch in 2026 Variety has learned that 'Black Ops 7,' which is set in 2035, more than four decades after the events of 'Black Ops 6,' will star Milo Ventimiglia, Kiernan Shipka and 'CoD' alum Michael Rooker as voice and its motion capture actors. Ventimiglia will play David Mason, a protagonist previously introduced in 'Black Ops 2,' while Shipka has been cast as Emma Kagen, and Rooker is reprising his 'Black Ops 2' role of Mike Harper. Though the casting news comes amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike against major video game publishers, including Activision, Variety has confirmed 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' is not a struck title and work on the game has not been impacted by the actors union's work-stoppage. Activision marketing chief Tyler Bahl described casting Ventimiglia as David Mason (who will receive a subtle makeover so the character is more to Ventimiglia's likeness) as the right fit for 'an iconic character from the franchise and one of the fan favorites' from 'Black Ops 2.' 'And then we brought in Kiernan Shipka, which we're super excited about and is red hot right now, to play this character called Emma Kagen,' Bahl told Variety. 'It's a new character, and she is a CEO of this organization called The Guild, and we think her performance will really blow people away. And then finally, Michael Rooker, is returning to the franchise reprising his role as Mike Harper from 'Black Ops 2,' and I think our fans, you know, will be excited to see him, you know, come back and return to the franchise, you know, because he hasn't been here in a while.' Per the game's description, 'In 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7,' Treyarch and Raven Software are bringing players the most mind-bending 'Black Ops' ever. Developed as the next evolution of 'Black Ops,' this is the first-ever consecutive release within the series, set more than 40 years after the events of 'Black Ops 6.' The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of 'Black Ops 2' and 'Black Ops 6.' Wielding cutting-edge technology, David Mason and his team must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else.' The game is a co-op campaign and, like 'Black Ops 6,' will include round-based zombies. 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' will be released across Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and on PC via Xbox PC, and Steam. The game will be available at launch through Xbox's Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass subscriptions. 'Usually at this point in time, we would have teased everything that's coming out. And I think in a lot of ways we're setting this up more like a Beyonce album dropping; nobody's going to know about it, or nobody's going to see it coming,' Bahl told Variety. 'The whole goal was to really do something different, and for us to zag and show up in a unique way. And one way of doing that is almost not doing any pre-promotion and giving it to players in a really unexpected way.' Watch the teaser trailer for 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' below.

Did Microsoft just tease a Halo CE remaster?
Xbox chief Phil Spencer just casually revealed Gears of War: E-Day is coming in 2026, 25 years after the launch of the original Xbox. It's arriving alongside a 'the next Forza,' according to Spencer, and 'the return of a classic that's been with us since the beginning.' That classic sure sounds like the Halo CE remaster I wrote about last year.
