Customers can find Campfire Meals and two new dessert skillets at participating Cracker Barrel locations nationwide, according to the Tennessee-based eatery. For $10.99, each dish is braised in campfire seasoning, wrapped in foil and slow cooked, Cracker Barrel said in a May 6 news release. The meals also come with a side of buttermilk biscuits and cornbread muffins. Cracker Barrel's seasonal Campfire Meals last appeared on menus in 2018 but are back for a limited time, the restaurant chain said. Photo by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc.

The camp-inspired meals were introduced in 1997, giving customers an 'experience that recalls our favorite outdoor memories,' according to a restaurant news release. Their last limited-time run was in 2018, though the campfire chicken and shrimp skillet weren't offered. 'Our guests have been asking for us to bring back our Campfire Meals for years — and we heard them loud and clear,' Sarah Moore, chief marketing officer for Cracker Barrel, said in the release. The seasonal lineup also includes two desserts: the s'mores brownie skillet and a cinnamon roll skillet. The latter is a spin on Cracker Barrel's popular cinnamon roll pie, according to the restaurant. Campfire Meals will be available for a limited time, though Cracker Barrel didn't say for how long.
