Americans Alarmed By 'Naked' New Cracker Barrel Look

Is the woke left coming after Cracker Barrel now? Well, I don't know. I was just in one last month, and it seemed perfectly sane and normal to me. 

But that may have been a unicorn of sorts. A dying breed. A lost era. Part of the old regime. Because if the inside of this particular Cracker Barrel is a sign of things to come, we could be in big, big trouble. 

Forget Project 2025. Forget Joe Biden not being awake past 8 p.m. on any given night. Forget everything you know, because this deserves your full attention:

Cracker Barrel tries to ease tensions 

My God. It's a horror show. Might as well have been produced by M. Night Shyamalan. What is that? Where is that? And, most importantly, WHY? 

There are few things in life as raw and pure as a Cracker Barrel. It's perfect, and it has been since Day 1. I know Buc-ee's is the big thing right now. The hot new girl at school. But don't get it twisted, Gen-Zers – Cracker Barrel walked so Buc-ee's could run. 

They're the OG. The vets of the hospitality/dining industry. The giants. 

You walk in, and it's immediate bliss. The sound of toys from 1955. Wind chimes all over the place. Old candy lining the walls that you haven't seen since you were a kid at Mamaw's house. 

And then you walk in the dining room, and it just gets better. The little triangle games on every table with the golf tees in the holes. The giant menus with Grandpa's Breakfast in giant bold letters on the inside. 

Oh, you want some meat loaf, too? Great, because they have the best meat loaf this side of the Mississippi. It's all perfect. 

But whatever the hell that is … ain't your daddy's – or your grandaddy's – Cracker Barrel. It's some modernized version of the establishment we've all come to know and love, and we shouldn't stand for it for one more second. 

Now, upon further review – and thanks to some Big J digging by yours truly – it appears this could just be a one-off. 

Cracker Barrel actually responded to the above video after great Americans were outraged by it, and seemed to douse the flames best they could:

You caught us in the middle of a refresh – with a fresh coat of paint and letting some extra natural light in. Don’t worry, the decor we know and love will be back up on the walls in no time.

I hope so, because this is the last thing we need right now. America is watching … and responding:

Don't get wrong i like the food. but I've always catch myself looking at items on the wall while I wait . makes time pass so fast. I'll definitely have to make a decision if I go back if this happens. 

We need to put a stop to this unpopular trend. 

Gross.

Don’t even piss me off right now. 

This is a sin.

why is it naked?
