In August 2024, Cracker Barrel made a shocking announcement. The restaurant chain, known for its old time look and feel, decided to refresh its restaurants with a modern twist. The new Cracker Barrel aesthetic seems to take the lead from “Millennial Gray” and more minimalist design. The restaurant chain shared the video with excitement captained, “New look, same Cracker Barrel! We can’t wait for you to visit.”
“I loved the old look. It was warm, cozy, and comfortable. Now it’s open, cold, modern and cafeteria looking,” someone shared.
This person agreed, writing, “Don’t get rid of the antiques. The theming is great! The healthy menu is good!!”A Cracker Barrel Spokesperson told The New York Post they’re listening to customers but continuing with updates.
“The updates underway in our stores are inspired by the voices of both our guests and team members, and reflect our ongoing commitment to making our stores feel brighter and even more inviting, all while preserving the warm, country hospitality and charm that define us.”
