Easter is this Sunday, and we can almost taste the Easter ham. If you're just beginning your holiday planning, we're here to help with last-minute prep, including Easter wishes to text or email to family and friends, the best Easter movies to stream — and, yes, even restaurants open on Easter if you don't feel like cooking. Speaking of...
Is Cracker Barrel open on Easter?
Cracker Barrel is open for regular business hours on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023. Pro-tip: Minimize your wait time by signing in on the online wait list, which you can do on the website's "find a Cracker Barrel" page (start by typing in your zip), or even better, via the Cracker Barrel app on your smartphone. My family took advantage of the online wait list last Thanksgiving, and it was super convenient.
Another tip: Pay right at the table using Cracker Barrel's mobile pay feature — all you have to do is scan the QR code on your check and follow the instructions. Because holidays tend to be busy at Cracker Barrel (and they're ready for it!), this is just an extra step you can take to ensure your holiday gathering runs like clockwork.
Cracker Barrel also offers Easter Heat n' Serve Meals to-go on the holiday; however, 24 hours advance notice is required for the take-home option (i.e. today is too late to order a Heat n' Serve Meal, but you can put the idea in your back pocket for next year). These fully prepared family dinners go from oven to table in less than three hours and come with your choice of spiral-sliced sugar-cured ham or prime rib with au jus and horseradish sauce, plus mashed potatoes and gravy, your choice of two sides, yeast rolls, and a half gallon of strawberry lemonade.
