I’ve eaten in Cracker Barrels from Miami to Flagstaff, including the ones around the home office in Lebanon, TN and used to love them. However, The ones we’ve stopped in recently have been filthy and the food not as well prepared. I filed a complaint last year with the corporate office about how filthy the one here in Jacksonville, NC is, and they offered me a free dessert. A remodel might be overdue.
You have got to admit....FAR less dusting labor hours required in the remodeled restaurants.
Yes, quality of the food at Cracker Barrel has rapidly gone downhill. Did away with most of the salad options and preparation and presentation was below par last time we ate there.
COVID really did a number of them. They used to have good service but since COVID, they have trouble getting and keeping staff.
Wait times have increased. My wife always like to go there from time to time to shop before we ate.
