I've only eaten there once, but never again. Not only do they hate their main customers, but given whom they are hiring for their staff, their food probably isn't safe to eat.
Neurodiversity = Autism, Asperger’s, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette’s etc.
The new logo sucks. The redesign of the stores sucks. The food quality sucks. At one time these things used to be great, and now it all sucks.
It’s time to Make Cracker Barrel Great Again!
They redesigned the stores???
May they pay dearly. What idiots.
if they elimate having to wait for a table and then leave through the massive gift shop.
Then I might go back.
The WJ webpage is terrible. Numerous ads placed between paragraphs of the article. Not too bad using a desktop computer but a pain trying to read the article using my tablet.
I’ve only been to Cracker Barrel once in the past several years, but I agree with others. I won’t be going back, and this latest “rebranding” effort just reinforces that. It’s getting pretty bad these in that there aren’t very many places left that I feel comfortable going out to eat at. I think Texas Roadhouse is about the only place left here locally that I’ll go to.
This reminds me of the same type of makeover caca that Chic-fil-a did when they got rid of the founders and decided that in order to support DEI they had to fund grooming outfits like CovenantHouse — who fund kiddie drag shows.
Watch for DEI verbiage, and hatred towards families. Same as CFA model. Yeah, yeah, CFA continues to make sounds about being a family store, not being open on Sunday, etc. But, behind the scenes they fund perversion — gladly. With your $$.
Well that article fails, doesn’t even load a single picture in it.
But image search, found it elsewhere. Looks like any other modern company logo. Trash.
The quality of their food has gone down noticeably over the last year or so. The last couple of times I’ve been there, the mashed potatoes and French fries were horrible.
I used to love Cracker Barrel, but there were none around here. I finally stopped at one while in PA on a business trip in 2018 and found that they had changed the menu! The old favorites were gone, but I was told I could order them as sides to make the complete meal.
Lousy menu + Lousy service = not been back
The old logo represents nostalgia for the past when life was simpler, country stores etc.
New logo looks like it could be a new Taco Bell or something.
no one should ever hire a girl CEO
I avoid chain restaurants unless it’s the only thing there and available on a road trip.
Overpriced, pre-made frozen crap.
Support your local mom and pop restaurant/bar and grille when you want a sit-down meal and don’t want to cook.
The logo seemed fine to me. The old one did seem a little outdated. The bigger issue is that the menu has gone to Hell. The food has really gone downhill.
About thirty years ago I took my two kids 7 & 9, to CB.
We went in and got a table but no one waited on us. After about ten minutes the manager and a waiter who had been standing in the room talking the entire time caught my attention. I raised both arms above my head and started saying in my loud voice: “hey, we’re over here! Hey, over here!!”
One came over and took our order. Bad experience, but my kids have never forgotten that visit!! Dad embarrassed them good!!
This will hurt them.
Th new logo looks like Waffle House to me.
Maybe they’re aiming for a different, more violent, demographic.
