    The New Logo Has Been Pulled and the Old Is Back The updated logo, which ditched the “Uncle Herschel” character and the words “Old Country Store,” has been tossed. The old one is back. “We have heard our guests, and we are continuing to listen. We are focused on the kitchen and our guests’ plates and serving up generous portions of craveable food with Cracker Barrel’s warm country hospitality,” a Cracker Barrel spokesperson said. The restaurant also tossed a plan to update restaurants, giving them a modern, sleek look. They have already remodeled four of 660. “You’ve shared your voices...

    KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — The eatery with the failing health score is in Cumberland County. There were a lot of problems with food temperatures. The grade is a 67 at Cracker Barrel, the one in Crossville. That 67 is a failing score. A grade of 69 and below is considered failing. To begin with, the inspector observed one of the cooks touching and handling bacon with his bare hands. Gloves are required to be worn whenever handling food. Hot water running through the dishwasher at 152 degrees wasn’t hot enough. Even after several attempts, it didn’t reach the proper hot...
  • Before logo fiasco, Cracker Barrel had quietly started serving day-old biscuits, microwaved meatloaf: employees

    It’s not just Cracker Barrel’s ill-fated logo change that has been irking customers — as corporate bean counters this year quietly forced the chain to serve up day-old biscuits and microwaved meatloaf, The Post has learned. The unsavory menu staples at the folksy restaurant — including biscuits that arrived at tables “hard,” “rubbery” and “like a rock” — were the result of a nonpublic February directive that prioritized “cost savings” and “efficiency” over customer satisfaction, multiple employees told The Post. Instead of making biscuits fresh each day as Cracker Barrel’s kitchens had done for years, the chain’s 650 locations were...

    Cracker Barrel on Tuesday abruptly suspended its restaurant remodels and promised to keep its cherished “old country store” vibe following a furious backlash that forced the chain to walk back plans for a new logo that cut out its beloved “Uncle Herschel.” The announcement was made a day after The Post reported that Cracker Barrel workers were upset with CEO Julie Felss Masino, claiming she gutted kitchen jobs, slashed hours to avoid offering health insurance, and now passes off frozen, microwaved food as “homestyle cooking.” The backlash erupted alongside the chain’s logo fiasco, forcing an embarrassing reversal after customer outrage...

    Cracker Barrel's co-founder has delivered a scathing critique of the restaurant chain's CEO after a botched rebranding. Tommy Lowe, 93, accused Julie Felss Masino of failing to grasp what Cracker Barrel stands for, pointing to her previous stint at Taco Bell. 'They're trying to modernize to be like the competition. Cracker Barrel doesn't have any competition,' Low, who co-founded Cracker Barrel with the late Dan Evins in Lebanon, Tennessee in 1969, told WTVF. 'I heard she was at Taco Bell. What's Taco Bell know about Cracker Barrel and country food? They need to work on the food and service and...
  • Overcorrection? Cracker Barrel Adds Confederate Flag To Logo And Changes Name To 'The South Will Rise Again'

    LEBANON, TN — Questions continue to swirl over whether perhaps Cracker Barrel went too far overcorrecting as it unveiled a logo featuring a Confederate flag and the new name "The South Will Rise Again". While the public had roundly criticized the initial, modern logo update, many felt that displaying the battle flag of the Confederacy perhaps was a bit too much of a step backwards. "We apologize for our overly hasty, modern remake and hope our new mascot, now named Robert E. Lee, will smooth things over," said the company in a statement. "We have listened to our customers and...

    American Thinker ^ | Ethan Watson
    After facing intense public backlash, Cracker Barrel has backed down and reverted to the classic “Old Timer” logo. At the same time, the Trump Administration has turned its focus on the Smithsonian, vowing to withhold funding from any programs that “degrade shared American values” and “divide Americans.” Both culture war issues pivot on one simple question that my generation needs to answer: Do we like America? People yearn to belong to a national tradition. Nationality encompasses defining characteristics of daily life like language and culture, and we’re most comfortable when we’re situated within a national tradition that’s familiar. That’s why...

    After backlash from both the right and left, and even advice from President Trump following the recent decision to change its logo, Cracker Barrel announced Tuesday evening that it would keep Uncle Herschel along with the barrel, rather than move forward with the minimalist design that was unveiled last week. While it’s a good sign that the restaurant chain listened to customers, those on the right aren’t entirely satisfied. Responding to Cracker Barrel's post on X announcing the latest decision, activist Robby Starbuck, who's made bringing normalcy back to corporate America his mission, wondered if they have any plans to...

    After a string of losses, shares of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (NASDAQ:CBRL) are back in the green after President Trump weighed in on the logo controversy that has pressured the stock. In a post on Trust Social, Trump encouraged the company to restore its old logo, admit a mistake, and manage the company “better than ever before.” “They got a billion dollars worth of free publicity if they play their cards right. Very tricky to do, but a great opportunity,” the president posted. To distance the company from its rustic identity and appeal to a wider demographic, Cracker Barrel...

    Cracker Barrel has been around for 55 years. Through the decades, the restaurant has been known as a family-friendly spot for homestyle food, general store shopping, and nostalgic activities. The brand is undergoing a major makeover now, and some diners have noticed that even the beloved peg game is changing. The peg game has been around since Cracker Barrel opened in 1960, and it has been a staple on their dining tables ever since. It's a fun (screen free!) way for diners to pass the time while they wait for their food. Plus, it's been available in the store for...

    President Donald Trump could not resist offering his opinion on the great Cracker Barrel rebrand debate, urging the iconic American restauranteur to capitalize on their negative publicity for maximum brand awareness. 'Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before,' Trump said. Cracker Barrel ignited a firestorm of criticism on social media last week after it announced their decision to remove 'Uncle Hershel' from the company logo in favor of a more minimalist design. 'Uncle Herschel' is the real-life relative of the...

    Cracker Barrel decided to put the old man out to pasture this week with a rebrand of its logo that almost everyone in the universe seems to hate. 👇 Is Cracker Barrel's brand redesign a "war crime"? 😭 What do you think? NOTTHEBEE.COM https://notthebee.com/article/people-ask-if-cracker-barrels-brand-redesign-is-war-crime Not the Bee's super scientific poll, with almost 8,000 submissions, determined that the redesign overseen by the company's white liberal female CEO (with glasses of course) is a turn-off to most customers. The story went so viral that even Denny's and Steak 'n Shake took the opportunity to lash out: when you copy the homework but...

    If the Cracker Barrel market puke has anything to teach Wall Street, it’s that investors who are deciding where to put their money must add corporate “wokeness” to their menu of risks to ­digest. In fact, making “woke” an investing risk factor — in some cases as important as the direction of interest rates and inflation — seems so obvious that I hesitated to write this column. Recall Bud Light’s ­Dylan Mulvaney fiasco, or Target CEO Brian Cornell’s recent exit following his ill-fated ­obsession with DEI. Wokeness is generally defined as subjecting the culture and business to left-wing dogma involving...
