Cracker Barrel Old Country Store offers 10% off qualifying in-store restaurant and retail purchases to verified members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The discount is tied to the free Cracker Barrel Rewards program: active-duty, reserve, retired, and veteran service members verify their military status once through ID.me, and the 10% discount then attaches to their Rewards account automatically. This is a standing, year-round program confirmed on Cracker Barrel’s official website — not a one-day event.

Per Cracker Barrel’s official military discount terms, the offer is open to Cracker Barrel Rewards members who are:
- Active-duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces
- Reserve members
- Retired military members

You must be enrolled in the free Cracker Barrel Rewards program and verify your service through ID.me using the same email address as your Rewards account. The discount is valid for the Rewards member only.
How Much Military Discount Does Cracker Barrel Provide?
Verified service members save 10% off qualifying in-store restaurant and retail purchases at Cracker Barrel. The discount applies at checkout when you give the cashier your Rewards account information.
Important exclusions from the official terms: the discount is in-store only — it is not valid online, for catering, delivery, or takeout. It also excludes alcohol, Meals for Two, Take Home Meals, gift cards, taxes, delivery fees, and gratuities.
Cracker Barrel also honors the military community on Veterans Day (November 11), when it has historically served a complimentary meal to veterans and active-duty military — a separate annual event from this everyday 10% program.
