Cracker Barrel Allergen Menu

Cracker Barrel provides an Allergen Guide to help customers with food sensitivities, but cross-contact is possible due to shared kitchen spaces. Common allergens like wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, and nuts are present in many dishes.

For example, the Buttermilk Pancakes contain wheat, eggs, and dairy, while the Fried Catfish may have gluten and soy due to shared fryer oil. Some safer options include Grilled Chicken Tenderloins and Fresh Seasonal Fruit, but always check with the staff before ordering.

The allergen chart below lists menu items and their potential allergens to help you make the best choice.

Cracker Barrel Allergen Menu PDF

Dishes for Allergens at Cracker Barrel

Cracker Barrel’s kitchen handles common allergens like wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, and nuts, making cross-contact possible. However, some dishes are better suited for those with dietary restrictions.

For a gluten-sensitive option, the Grilled Chicken Tenderloins and Country Vegetable Plate (without cornbread) are good choices. If avoiding dairy, the Fresh Seasonal Fruit and Baked Sweet Potato (without butter) are safer picks. For an egg-free meal, the Lemon Pepper Grilled Trout and Turnip Greens work well.

Here’s the allergen table with ticks (✔) for presence and crosses (✘) for absence of allergens:
