Let's be honest though, Cracker Barrel is having trouble because its quality of food has declined dramatically. These days it's small portions of clearly premade garbage being pulled from a can or a freezer. Maybe it always has been and they were just better at hiding it in the past.
They have had trouble with staffing ever since COVID. That made them cut corners on the food. Take away the old fashioned charm of the stores and you got nothing left.
I still eat there around once every 2-3 months, but if they change the decor at my store, I will never go back.
