It's Unexpectedly Easy To Get Free Coffee At Cracker Barrel

When it comes to the world of food and drink, we'll take as many freebies as we can get. The one big problem? It's not usually so easy to find those kinds of deals. Well, if you find yourself at a Cracker Barrel, we know of one surefire way to get a free add-on. Coffee lovers, this one is especially for you. 

If you're craving a cup of joe at this popular restaurant chain, but prefer to save a few bucks, always remember that you can get a free coffee alongside any drink, entree, or dessert. While the offering might sound too good to be true, it's surprisingly a perfectly real deal. If you're skeptical, we can't blame you. After all, it's a rare sighting to have a Cracker Barrel server belly up to your table with a free tray of coffee. Well, that's because these complimentary cups come with a small catch.

At Cracker Barrel, getting free coffee is just one of the many fun perks you can take advantage of from the establishment. And while it may seem too good to be true, any entree, dessert, or drink does actually come complete with a complimentary cup of coffee. (Just remember that every location's rules differ, so check with the restaurant before you expect the free cup). 

For the locations that do offer this deal, why don't servers offer to bring you some joe after you've ordered? They simply probably won't remember to offer it up. This freebie is kept a secret, so don't expect it to be loudly advertised. Plus with all the hustle and bustle of a restaurant, it might just slip their mind. Luckily, if you simply make sure to ask for a complimentary cup of coffee, you should be good to go. 

For all you coffee lovers out there, don't forget about Cracker Barrel. After all, many loyal customers say it's some of the best coffee around, per Reddit. (And you can even pair it with one of the 12 best food items at Cracker Barrel, too). If you're not in the coffee mood, or simply want to know more about other great deals from Cracker Barrel, here are a few more freebies you can add on to your entree.

Many restaurant lovers know that most establishments will gift you a little something free for your birthday. At Starbucks it's any size drink, and at IHOP it's a free stack of pancakes. But at both of these establishments, there's a catch — you have to be a rewards member. At Cracker Barrel, there's no such caveat. The chain offers a free dessert to any customer on their birthday– plus they sing you a song to go with it.

Even if it's not a special occasion for you, Cracker Barrel is still there to provide free add-ons. The chain offers customers unlimited biscuits or corn muffins, and all you have to do is order a meal. A similar deal applies to breakfast orders, too. If you order any entree in the morning hours, such as the ever-popular pile of pancakes or a fresh start sampler, Cracker Barrel owes you unlimited free hash browns too. Just always remember to ask nicely.
