Nearly 30 years ago I went to cracker barrel with my parents and grandparents, for the only time. I remember that I didn't like the food and I ended up walking through the "country store" afterwards, which I only remember because of the big rocking chair. I hope it goes so woke that it is broke so other 5 year olds don't have to suffer through the same experience.

Clueless European question: What is a Cracker Barrel

[–] MrPiss@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago

It's basically an American restaurant themed around being a rustic country general store. It has a shop at the entrance for buying shitty little knick knacks among a few other things.

There isn't really anything good about it. It was founded by a shell executive so that they could have a restaurant chain by gas stations which makes sense based on the one near where I grew up. Recently they changed the logo and American culture is brand worship so the chuds are very upset.

Also, kkkracker barrel.

Southern food served in a resturaunt with a folksy old-timey decor.

So, "chicken fried" everything with mashed potatoes and green beens from a can.

It's a sit down restaurant chain where they serve like, biscuits and mashed potatoes and ham and collard greens and "southern" (U.S.) shit like that, with a gift shop attached with an old timey aesthetic meant to appeal to the meemaws meemaw and peepaws chomsky-yes-honey

I'm not sure it's worth any amount of discussion but personally i think changing the logo was kinda dumb because it was like, a very cracker barrel logo, the new one is like they want to be like dunkin donuts or something idk

It's a gimmicky chain restaurant in the US. They exist in the same general retail space as Applebee's, Chili's, and other similar places with a low to moderate price point and a theme. They specialize in mediocre southern US comfort foods and their main gimmick is that their waiting room is a massive side-of-the-highway gift shop.
