Their unique draw is as an “experience”, a folksy old-fashioned restaurant and country store. Chasing the modern minimalist design sentiment is a troubling sign of forfeiting their marketing advantage over an otherwise crowded market of other generic restaurants.
Now if that ‘old-fashioned’ was failing and the restauraunts were just a place where a few senior citizens go but is mostly a ghost town, I could see an urgency. Like last time I went to a K&W, you just had like a dozen people, with a surprisingly high number of people toting around some medical equipment. However, in my experience Cracker Barrel has been pretty busy still.
As a restauraunt they are “ok”.
