They were also inconveniently experiencing significant negative feedback to their business decision to sell warmed up day old food as a standard operating procedure just before new of the logo drama erupted. If you thought cracker barrel was extremely mid before, it's apparently gone full Applebee's microwave kitchen bad lately.

    Dang. They were mediocre the last time I went there (about 10 years ago), but at least uniquely mediocre (mediocre southern food). I've been there 2-3 times, and each time was on a road trip where the choice was Cracker Barrel, Denny's, or a fast food place, and Cracker Barrel has an interesting store.

    I very much dislike Applebees, Chilis, and other massive chains, but at least Cracker Barrel is a bit unique in presentation and has decent portion sizes. Or had, idk, I haven't been there in a decade.

    I don't think anyone goes there for fine dining, so them reheating stuff isn't all of that surprising. But it is disappointing.
