I really don’t care if Cracker Barrel is creating a new image. The food is the main thing and if that is not all there, then forget it.

I ate there last month. For the first time in over 5 years. It’ll be another 5 years before I eat there again. The food is mediocre.

Chain restaurants generally suck.

Love their fried chicken. Once or twice a year.

Their love for LGBTetc. is contrary to their main demographic - old people.

She doesn’t get that.

The one closest to us has been terrible (food quality) for years. They should’ve invested in better management and staff training, higher quality food and maybe some new menu items, or, specials to win back the biz. Not this cover-up makeover.

Focus of the food quality, first.

I agree. A couple years ago they changed the breakfast memo to eliminate some of the big breakfast options.

It’s all still available but now it’s aka carts.

I really enjoyed just ordering Uncle Herschel’s Favorote. (Uncle Hershel is the guy in the chair who’s being canceled. Real person)

Dinner has always been their weak point to me. Most of it is just OK sloth Pugh the fried chicken is excellent.

Changing the logo is low common denominator marketing, but stupid with a core brand like Cracker Barrell.

I work for a 160 year old company that has had the same logo since the late 1940’s.

When I started there 15 years ago they were slow and steady with no significant growth or loss year after year.

About ten years ago they decided to change that. We improved products, added lots of new products, innovated, we do things none of our competition does. Spent lots of money in R&D and marketing. They are now almost four times the size they were ten years ago.

The logo hasn’t changed. Everything else has.

Blondie CEO with the smart girl glasses and attitude needs to copy that, not changes tens of thousands of billboards.
