The first Cracker Barrel opened in 1969 in Lebanon, Tennessee, complete with gas pumps, a concept founder Dan W. Evins hoped would help expand his family's oil business and better serve tourists who were traveling down the interstates and highways. Eventually, all the gas pumps were phased out and the restaurant focused on what it had become known for: down-home country cooking with a southern flair. And it's been a success ever since.
Fans are very passionate about Cracker Barrel. They've won the "Best Family Dining" restaurant award time and again, and people make comments on Yelp like, "Great home environment, outstanding daily deals! [...] First and foremost, amazing customer service. They really act and treat you like family. Everyone is always friendly, always accommodating. The food is home cooking delicious!"
The restaurant serves up menu items that appeal to both adults and children, and even the pickiest eaters. It serves breakfast all day long, which is always a plus. It looks like the inside of your grandma's house if your grandma was some old-fashioned Southern lady who lived on a farm and when she wasn't making you biscuits she was out antiquing. They are famous for their hospitality. And that's not all... there are plenty of other reasons Cracker Barrel has been so successful for the last 50 years.

CB has some good menu items: green beans, carrots, country fried steak, trout, hashbrown casserole. But never order the shrimp there. And the hush puppies are terrible.
there used to be a tv show where they had the company ceo work undercover in one of their stores/mfg plants or whatever so they could see it from the other side.
I would bet that the Jewish Princess CEO has never worked in a restaurant as a food service worker ever.
The ceo wears those black rim “smart” glasses.
It must be someone else’s fault.
Just like happened in the original movie Wall Street. They used to do this to airlines all the time in the 80s. They were worth more as dismantled parts..
The food USED to be home-cooking delicious - that’s the problem. I don’t care about the logo or the decor - just go back to making good food.
yes
one look at that ceo
and you know she is not a Cracker Barrel customer
but they are doing the dei crap too
commonsense
which makes DEIs skin crawl
its ideology only
i think it is obvious her hire was intentional to push dei
it was nice
but the blue haired septum ring will be serving you soon
no different than starbucks
with the ceo salary
absolutely
They went out full force in support of homosexual pride. Rainbow rocking chairs and everything.
