If Cracker Barrel is one of your favorite places to enjoy a homestyle meal, you may be missing out on valuable rewards every time you visit.
The Cracker Barrel Rewards program was created to thank loyal guests with free food, retail discounts, birthday surprises, and exclusive member offers.
The best part? Joining is completely free.
Once you’re a member, you will earn Pegs on qualifying purchases made at Cracker Barrel restaurants, the Old Country Store, online, and through the mobile app.
As your Peg balance grows, you’ll unlock rewards that can be redeemed for food, drinks, and retail savings.
What Is Cracker Barrel Rewards?
Cracker Barrel Rewards is the official loyalty program offered by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. Instead of traditional reward points, members earn Pegs, a fun nod to the classic peg game found on tables in Cracker Barrel restaurants across the country.
Every qualifying purchase helps you collect Pegs. Over time, those Pegs can be exchanged for rewards ranging from complimentary menu items to discounts in the retail store.
Unlike many restaurant loyalty programs that focus solely on food purchases, Cracker Barrel Rewards gives members the opportunity to earn benefits from both dining and shopping.
Whether you’re ordering your favorite Chicken n’ Dumplins or browsing seasonal gifts in the Old Country Store, your purchases can help you move closer to your next reward.
