They need to remodel their food.
Never have set foot in one. That or cotton patch.
I prefer the old way.
I like the old much better. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Places to eat used to be fun and whimsical.
Now they feel dull and soulless.
I really don’t understand the need for places to look as boring as possible. There used to be a seafood place near me that looked like a boat , a few years ago they replaced it a boring grey cube.
They are lying when they said people liked it or they only asked people in stupid cities like san fran, that is horrible. I will not go to a Cracker Barrel decorated like that.
More detheming. All the service industry is doing it.
OH, NO! Photo A; Homey, warm, comfortable and friendly in all directions. Wanting to pull up a chair and chat with new friends. Sounds of laughter in the air. Another Tequila Sunrise, please. I like seeing the rifle over the hearth.
Photo B: STERILE, Clinical, scrutinized, pushed away, ostracized. Unfriendly and basically unknown. Cannot wait to leave and not look back! Sounds of cutlery similar to a surgically prepped room. I need a Tums. What happened to that rifle?
If Cracker Barrel is determined to give up their Old Look, I will bet some clever retailer is going to adopt it for themselves.
They are soooo gonna fail. There’s a home goodness to the old style. There’s a New Chili’s soul-sucking awfulness to that “new” style. Change at your peril, Cracker Barrel. I love the old ones, but you can shove the new ones up the Biden Crime Family’s collective Obamaholes.
Yeah. A lot of the remodeling I see looks like they did it so they could clean it with a hose.
the ceo has ocd
Wasn’t this about the same time their CEO criticized their customers. Sort of like many churches, let’s sing the songs the people not coming want to hear.
Looks a lot easier to dust now...
LOL, so true. My favorite restaurants have been in old mills, converted barns and the like. I've only gone to Cracker Barrel once or twice and liked the atmosphere. That new look sucks, particularly when you consider that the food is just ok.
