Have you tried literally anywhere else? Every few years my wife convinces me to try it again and it’s always the worst. Are there really no local breakfast places around?
Some people out there are really reluctant to branch out and try anything different. There’s a million places around me selling the same food but better, but some people just want to go to cracker barrel.
Old people especially, but also some people with, for example, autism, ARFID, etc. can be really picky about where they’ll eat, and sometimes it’s just not worth the aggravation of trying to get them to try something new.
Hell, I have some friends who aren’t even particularly picky who can be reluctant to try out new places. Restaurants aren’t cheap, I can understand being reluctant to spend money on food you’re not sure you’re going to like.
I don’t know. I don’t eat there often, but pretty much everything they make is good. I can’t even think of another place that makes chicken and dumplings… For that style of food, I would always take a higher end one off restaurant in the Carolina. But for something ubiquitous, it is pretty much the only option, and it isn’t as expensive as Shatley Springs or something.
Honestly, I would have tried it again more recently if it weren’t for the fact that they don’t seem to have any interest in accommodating vegetarians at all. Also, I think a few of them closed in Denver area.
LOL, that’s been the only reason I’ve ever set foot in one. People who were very much older in my extended family liked the place…and so for whatever reason, I kind of thought of the place like Grange halls - something the older bunch have an affinity for, but I don’t quite understand how it fits into my life in the here and now. :/
Uhhh, there’s a shit ton of Cracker Barrels in NY, going to Cracker Barrel for family meet ups and shit was a staple in my family and made precious childhood memories for me, and we’re black as hell. Plenty of non conservatives love CB. There’s a shit ton black people makes jokes online rn about missing the “segregation” vibes of CB.
I only learned about it when I saw headlines about the backlash that was costing them millions.
My first reaction after figuring out it was not the Onion was…are they still in business? I honestly didn’t know they were still operating. I looked on the map in the Denver area and the one I thought was in Littleton/Lakewood area either is a figment of my imagination, or they closed.
[Other Party]’s general population is totally upset about something [Our Party] thinks is good or even doesn’t give a fuck about!
We must be reactionary over the most trivial stupid shit and bicker and deflect from [List of Enormous Issues and Catastrophes], and create a new issue for everyone to point fingers about!
/s
Personally, I think it looks terrible and I’m a die-hard lefty/socialist/liberal whatever you wanna call me. I don’t eat there and don’t give a fuck about them, but this media attention over this “controversy” has pushed me to form an opinion on something I wouldn’t otherwise care about — and honestly if conservatives hate it, then fuck, I agree with them for once because it looks fuckin’ soulless and terrible lol.
Was it really conservative backlash? I don’t think anyone liked it, lol.
Non-conservatives give a shit about cracker barrel?
nope, because its not near where we live. Only cons ever cared about this.
I gotta meet up with the old people in my family somewhere. I’m not having them in my house are you crazy

That and sometimes you have to go to the same restaurant a few times until you find the dishes that are good there…
Fortunately, I’ve got a few good diners to choose from

I will never forget their Coca-Cola fudge cake.
People talked about here a lot, I had never even heard of it before
I’m a Leftist Progressive living in North Carolina, and I like Cracker Barrel
Nope
I think I went there twice before they shut down here. I mean, it wasn’t AWFUL. I’d rather eat at a local place though.

The news sells better and is more engaging when you put it is conservative backslash instead of just overall negative reaction
Especially on this platform
The general reaction may have been negative, but the conservatives went unhinged accusing the new logo of being “woke”
Just from a design perspective, there was too much wasted space
Yes. It was.
