Which sides can be substituted with onion rings or a bowl of soup?

• A. Salad or fruit cup
• B. Steak fries or a cup of soup
• C. Rice or mashed potatoes
• D. Green beans or coleslaw

Answer: (B)

Substituting sides means swapping the listed side item for a different eligible side. Onion rings or a bowl of soup can replace certain standard sides, but not every side on the menu qualifies. The only pair that fits this substitution idea is the option that represents the actual sides Cracker Barrel commonly set up for swapping with onion rings or soup. Those are steak fries or a cup of soup. The other choices are different side categories that aren’t typically eligible for that swap, so they don’t fit the substitution option as neatly. If your meal normally comes with steak fries, you could ask to substitute onion rings or a bowl of soup instead; the same idea applies to a cup of soup in place of the standard side.
