I like that they started selling a few beers. I have no idea when they started this. Found out a few years ago when the pregnant wife was craving the hash brown casserole, which they were out of that day. She cried. I had a Blue Moon in solidarity.

There's 2 places I have a hard no on beer: Cracker Barrel and Chinese buffets. Just takes up room for goodness.

Its a bland logo for sure, but people do people actually think this a "woke" move? Just because they took an old white geezer in a rocking chair off the logo?

I think new font looks a bit like the wording on the Cracker Barrell cheese.

I made my comment tongue in cheek but then I went over the Fox News. They are throwing the woke bait out there hard on the front page.

I miss the days when we could just make fun of a corporation for dumbass marketing decisions as a whole and not across party lines.

New Coke, Pepsi Clear, Quickster, HBO Go, HBO Max, Max, HBO Max, Kitchen Fresh Chicken, Pepsi,

The one rebrand I did agree with was Chilean Seabass. That one made sense.

So is Clay Travis (I know right?).

They added some pretty good stuff to the menu on top of the logo change.

It's a tough sell to get me to venture from grandpa's country fried steak breakfast (any time of day), but I'm gonna have to try the cinnamon skillet next time.

Y’all have me confused. It’s the most bleh change ever and it’s a woke agenda move? This the most keep scrolling story I’ve ever seen.

Woke has transitioned from a specific set of grievances to a label for whatever someone doesn't like. I don't like it...woke! Apparently. Or the media is just trolling right now and nobody really gives 2 *****. I hope it's that.

The whole chain could shut down and it wouldn't bother me. The food SUCKS. It ain't Granny's cooking...although it claims to be.

It's great on a road trip and you want to stop somewhere not far off the interstate for a break and food you know will be better than gas station roulette. Especially if you are pulling a camper.

Service is hit or miss this days but that seems to be any chain restaurant. Hell, even chick fil a is a crap shoot now.

Woke got shoved down our throats, and it continued until the public, voted, no more.

I don’t care either way but that new logo looks kind of…… uninspiring.

I’m sure Glfr will be here shortly with a 5 paragraph essay on assessing Sixpacks reaction. Can’t wait.

Cracker Barrel unveils a new logo as part of wider rebrand efforts, sparking ire among some online

Cracker Barrel is marching forward with an ongoing makeover. And to some fans' dismay, the chain’s new logo now ditches the barrel itself.

Also redesign inside to look more like an IHOP or Denny's.

I only have one hard no: Waffle House.

I can't do breakfast with beer.
Though at one point in my life I drank a singular Woodchuck Cider for breakfast for a few months in my early 20's.

Logos with people were at one point seen as a way to make a brand more friendly or approachable. Younger generations are more isolated so they don't see that same appeal in human logos. RIP to Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and now Uncle Cracker

Please enlighten me on the Chilean sea bass
I have no clue and sometimes I splurge on this dish knowing it probably cost the restaurant minimal compared to their price of 38-42$ per serving.

Make the food better (lightly season it), add gas pumps, lean into the "country store" and decrease the size of the dining room.
