I never eat there. First, bad food. Second, bad service. And third, bad business model- I hate having to wait in line to pay my tab. They just want you to spend more time in their country store.

We stopped going to these places because the quality has dropped, the prices are too high, and worry the fat purple hair inked up waitress will spit in my food.

Cracker Barrel will respond to the decrease in sales by:

1. Renaming the restaurants "Dixie Chicks"

2. Hiring Dylan Mulvaney as the new face on all commercials

3. Offering 1/2 price on Bud Light.

What could possibly go wrong?

Biscuits and gravy = slopping wet flour on top of a lump of dry flour. Yum. s/

These restaurants hire from the lower depths of the labor pool.

Customer's will return again, and again to a restaurant with mediocre food(see McDonald's). However, the customers perception of indifference or out right neglect by the staff will in most instances end their patronage.

The governments pandemic response (free money) is what killed businesses ability to staff with any quality.

Olive Garden is a lot of things, but authentic Italian it is most definitely not.

Before I stopped going to Olive Garden, our group would bet on how many olives were in the salad...we would guess less than three and were usually correct. Many times there were just one olive in the entire bowl of salad. Olive Garden?

Cracker Barrel breakfast is excellent, the rest of the menu is meh.

Then they changed the breakfast menu to make it more ala carte and it seems far more expensive.

I travel a ton for work. CB isn’t on my list anymore.

Cracker Barrel has become a freak show, no way will I eat at a place that hires freaks. That includes soy boys, dykes with rings in their nose and ears and the ones that don’t know what sex they are.

It was a nice place to eat and had a cool gift shop but the fools ruined it.

As far as Olive Garden goes, I ate there once back in the 80’s and the the customers were mostly loud mouthed over weight and very rude broads from New Jersey. Never went back.

For about the same money one can eat in a diner. Diners that serve crap don’t last.

CB introduced alcohol, suspect this may have actually driven away some part of the over-70.

They still ain't hurting, while the internals reveal The White Hospice's not-entirely-hidden recession.

"Revenue for the fourth quarter ended July 29 increased by 5.9% from a year ago to $830.4 million while comparable store restaurant sales increased by 6.1% and comparable retail sales increased 3%, the company said.

Net income fell to $33 million from $36 million a year ago, as the company struggled with higher food inflation than it had expected. The company’s stock is down 1.4% to about $96 on Wednesday morning.

Cracker Barrel said it “gained traction” with millennials and guests between 44 and 55 — without offering details."

You all should be far more concerned about the mids (regional banks) drying up credit for both residential multi-family and light commercial buildouts in the last quarter.

My mom, who’s in her 90’s, always liked to go to both Cracker Barrel and Olive Garden. Maybe most of their potential seniors have died off. We would meet for breakfast at Cracker Barrel until they took the only thing I liked off the menu, and then I just had to tell her I couldn’t deal with it anymore. Also couldn’t hear over the noise in there. Olive Garden for lunch was better, although usually crowded, and not my first choice of where to go. Pretty sure it’s been more than 5 years since we did either, partly due to pandemic and partly due to mom only driving close to her home now, and I have no interest in going back. Mom might, but if I’m driving, we’re going someplace else. ;)

My husband loves junk food aka eating out, but I don’t. We stopped going out when covid started and when he got where he couldn’t walk without a walker. He won’t use the walker and I’m not big enough to pick him up off a sidewalk or parking lot.

Doordash allows him to eat junk food while I home cook mine.
