I don't see how this gains them a single customer. The people who liked the previous logo and interior design will be turned off.

Everybody else is not going to say: I can finally go to Cracker Barrel now!

The nostalgia of the old time rural country store decor is what made Cracker Barrell unique and appealing. The food is ok, but its nothing special. If they redesign the interiors for a more “modern take”, they take away the most appealing thing about eating there.

Cracker Barrel has been trending towards BK for several years now. You think everything was just a-ok and the c-suite decided to attempt to reinvigorate their brand for no reason?


I can agree with this, but their decision to go pro-trannie is about as tone deaf as a decision can be. One doesn't even need to care about what's happening in DC, they can just look at how a similar decision almost overnight brought down the beer which had been the most popular in the country for just over 20 years in a row.

Their ad campaigns, at least here, have been pretty much non-existent for as far back as I can remember. What they needed was a campaign reinforcing something along the lines of "traditional family values, traditional family cooking" with some narration by the guy who does the Country Time Lemonade ads (or someone with a similar sounding voice) and some attractive people (because everyone likes eye-candy) dressed casually, enjoying the frick out of their meal (and maybe having a couple of bags of items they purchased in the store).

There. Easy & peasy. If it doesn't bring an increase in sales, at least they aren't shooting themselves in the foot.

But Steak and Shakes logo is way different now too. Their old one was awesome.



The one that re-opened here isn't anywhere near as good as it was pre-COVID either.

Like the beef tallow fries are all fine and well, it just isn't the same quality as before.

I sometimes wonder if our leftist brothers had a normal suburban childhood or if they grew up in some weird household that eats takeout alone on holidays. Y'all really hate nostalgia and family for some reason.

The sad part is they spent a ridiculous amount of money consulting with 3 corporations on this horrible new look
