Cracker Barrel has a new menu item just in time for spring — and fans of savory breakfast dishes are in for a treat.

On Tuesday, Feb. 11, the Southern-inspired fast food chain announced tons of new sweet and savory menu items for the season — such as a brand-new Oreo stuffed cheesecake pancakes (a twist on their iconic strawberry cheesecake pancakes) and a so-called pancake latte.

One of the most exciting additions to the menu is a warm favorite that's perfect for breakfast and dinner alike — the shrimp n' grits, which features "tender shrimp simmered in a savory and zesty creole sauce with Andouille sausage, sweet onions, celery and red peppers served over rich n' creamy 'dinner-style' grits, accompanied by grilled parmesan sourdough bread," per a release from Cracker Barrel.

This special, limited-edition dish is only available for a short time and will be featured on the restaurant's beloved all-day breakfast menu.

Other savory treats introduced for spring include the Louisiana-style shrimp skillet, which features "grilled shrimp with a zesty creole sauce, served with new seasoned rice, grilled parmesan bread for dipping, and choice of a country side."

New sweet additions to the menu include Cracker Barrel's strawberry icebox pie, which features a creamy pie filling in a graham cracker crust with fresh strawberries on top, the strawberry peach lemonade and spritzer to quench your thirst as well as the pancake latte, made with maple, espresso and steamed milk.

Cracker Barrel customers won't need to worry about paying extra for eggs amid the current bird flu outbreak. As other restaurants like Waffle House have added surcharges to their eggs as prices continue to climb, Cracker Barrel revealed last week that they plan to keep the prices of their egg dishes as they are.

"Egg surcharges? Never heard of it," the brand teased in an Instagram post on Feb. 6, revealing that the restaurant's rewards members could earn extra points on eggs. "Order eggs and get double the pegs now through next Wednesday 2/12 🍳 Available to all Cracker Barrel Rewards members."

The shrimp n' grits, Oreo stuffed cheesecake pancakes and more are all available now, only for a limited time at Cracker Barrel locations around the U.S.
