Dairy Free Cracker Barrel Menu

[Charise Farag]

Grill & Fryer Note: Cracker Barrel does note potential cross-contamination with all top allergens for items prepared on the grill or in the fryer. They use soybean oil for frying, and several fried items do contain milk. Butter is used for seasoning several grilled items. If this is a concern, call ahead to see if your location can prepare your items with separate clean equipment. And be sure to clarify that no butter and no other types of dairy are used on your order.

Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All items listed below are made without peanuts and tree nuts. All items listed below are made without egg or gluten unless otherwise noted in the title or in parentheses. Many of the following menu items are listed as containing soy due to the cooking oil. Speak with your server to custom order without soy. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

Heads Up! Make sure to order the eggs without dairy and that your order is not prepared with or served with dairy butter. You might be able to request dry Sourdough Bread or Multigrain Toast instead of Biscuits & Gravy with the egg breakfasts.

Heads Up! The BLT is reportedly made with a dairy-free bun. Ensure the dairy-free bun is used if ordering a burger. Also, make sure to verify that no butter is used in grilling or toasting.

Heads Up! On the Cracker Barrel menu, these items are often listed with sides and sometimes sauces that contain dairy. Select dairy-free sides and sauces (all listed below) for your order, and ensure there is no butter in the preparation. The Biscuits and Corn Muffins do contain dairy, but you might be able to substitute another dairy-free side or Sourdough Bread.

Heads Up! The vegetable items listed above are supposed to be made without dairy butter. But as noted, some restaurants and kitchens can and do make liberties. As always, make sure that the staff is not choosing to use butter in cooking rather than following the corporate recipe.

Heads Up! Some readers have reported that certain Cracker Barrel locations use bacon grease or lard to cook their various Beans and Turnip Greens. This can vary by location. Ask to find out if they can be prepared vegan for you.

Menus, ingredients, kitchen procedures, management, food sourcing, and restaurant protocols are subject to change at any time. Always read the menu and discuss your dietary needs with the staff before ordering. Make sure they can accommodate your situation.

There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen. If cross-contamination is an issue for you, always speak with the manager to ensure that your meal can be safely prepared. Listings here do not guarantee that a restaurant is safe enough for your individual needs. Only you can make that decision.

Each location of a chain restaurant has different management and staff, and some might have different owners. This means differences in processes, ingredients used, menu options, and food sourcing can occur. Always verify the safety of your order for your needs at your current location.

At cracker barrel now in Bowling Green Ky. The manger and waitress both agreed that their allergen menu needs to be updated. Several things that I tried to order (that were listed dairy free) DO contain dairy. Including: green beans, corn, and sweet baby carrots . Please always speak to the staff.

I think the waiter will make ALL the difference in the experience because he went and asked the kitchen & the green beans say safe on the website and allergen menu, however the cook mentioned there IS butter in the green beans.

You should update the article and say that Cracker Barrel is unsafe. If the premise has changed it is misleading to force folks to the comments section. The grill coating has dairy and there is cross contamination everywhere even if they cook in oil. The cook told me it was simply not safe. Cracker Barrel is not dary free.

We just had to walk out. The allergen menu does not include butter and they confirmed almost all sides are cooked in butter. Also anything grilled or fried is contaminated and they were out of meat loaf and roast beef. Beef stew is no longer on the menu. Basically I could eat a salad and applesauce ?
