“One of the most upsetting things I’ve
seen”: MAGA is crashing out over Cracker
Barrel’s “woke” rebrand

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 8/21/2025 10:47:57 AM

Cracker Barrel has unveiled its first major rebrand in nearly 50 years, swapping out its old-fashioned logo and rustic interiors for a sleeker, more modern look. The company says the redesign honors its history while refreshing the brand for the future. But online, MAGA supporters are in full meltdown mode, accusing the chain of “going woke” and blaming its CEO for betraying the brand’s values.The company said in a press release that the new logo is “now rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape and word mark that started it all.”

It’s the quality of the food that counts! When they modernize to the point were they start serving microwave warmed up pre packaged food is when they will really crash and burn.

More woke insanity. Go woke; go broke. When will they ever learn? It seems that they care more about virtue signalling than about making a profit to allow them to stay in business.

Let the libs have it. It can go away and something better will replace it. The left wants you upset, so don't let them win. Can none of you stay home and cook? By the way, why are liberal women so obsessed with goofy looking glasses and pointy fingernails?

Their quantity and quality has slipped lately so I don't go anymore. Is it an accident that their new CEO is female?

If it ain't broke no need to fix it. And don't mess with success. When something works leave it alone. A so called improvement does not necessarily make things better. Know your buying public. Add your favorite ditty right here. Obviously this CEO has never heard of any of these timeless sayings. I don't go there often but I did enjoy the food and looking at the gift shop especially around holiday time. Why can't these people just let things be? So many people taking their insanity pills everyday. Does anyone remember New Coke?

This is what we are getting our collective panties in a twist over? Its a paint job! It makes it look more like a farm house than a barn. Im perfectly fine with the updated look. And I could care less that the branding removed the guy leaning against a barrel. It doesn't take away from the dining experience.

I'd be upset too, if I enjoyed living in the past. Yeah, the rent was cheaper, and the salaries much lower, but you have to appreciate the Stick-to-it-tivity of the thinkers and the doers at Cracker Barrel. I'm only going to say this once: they are at the top of their game and their hiring is the best in the busy, over-populated restaurant business. I miss my BFF who used to join up for Cracker Barrel breakfasts on Saturday or Sunday--in her zip code or in mine. Same great food. My problem was I'd be shopping while waiting for an empty table/booth. I'm a sucker for Salt Water Taffy!

Their whole alure was going to a country family style restaurant. If they ditch that in favor of a more transvestite/ homosexual atmosphere they are doomed.

Not everything dumb is woke. This is just dumb. They took something interesting and memorable and replaced it with some completely generic nothing. It's now lifeless. But it's not woke. I don't see rainbows or an homage to fake 1619 history or AOC or anything. Just dumb. It could be -any- random place now.

I don't care what they do but the new look is not appealing. New CEO's feel that they have to "do something" to show that they are on the ball to change things. CB was doing just fine and quite popular here and I can't understand fooling with changing things. They must think that they are riding some new wave of progressive and "modern" thought but that tide is now receding. The country is moving the other way. The restaurant business is a tough market and capitalism is an unforgiving mistress. You can look back and see the landscape is littered with failures. The change must have cost the chain millions and I don't see any net benefit from it. Just the opposite. What the H was the CEO and board thinking?

I dont know who advised them to use the Chip and Joanna Gaines Farmhouse Gray scale, but apparently they arent as on top of things designwise as they should have been - Interior Design is BEYOND that now. It is OVER for the B&W Everything. They should have stuck with the original design : its more in keeping with what is popular these days. No one does the Gaines Grayscale anymore. *BLECH*

Well, the comments run the gamut from misogynism to catering to trannies. Consider the huge success of the female CEO of gigantic In-N-Out restaurants. The notion that only a man can run a restaurant copany is absurd. The other digs about transvestites and so forth are over the top. It appears that CB had to clean up dusty, greasy restaurants that were past their prime. It is also possible that they saw their bottom line had weakened.Not everyone needs kitsch with their breakfast or their chicken and dumplings. The food should be the main event. That will depend on whhoever is in the kitchen. They say they aimed for a country kitchen look rather the faux "country"look of trellis panels with old stuff hanging anthem. Most would rather eat in a clean kitchen.

I have never thought CB’s food tasted much like authentic Southern home cooking. But, I’m Southern - born and bred - from a long line of Southern home cooks. Their decor and unique nostalgic items in the gift shops always seemed to be the main draw to me, even being somewhat overpriced. I don’t see their food being able to overcome the disappointment in newly designed decor among customers. But, that may just reflect my own personal taste.

It's been about 15 years since I was in a Cracker Barrel. They were OK, but we never went there much. Too kitchy, too much old stuff. I like that old stuff, have some in my workshop, but it's kinda dumb to hang on the wall. And I wasn't that big a fan of the food. Some was OK, say 50% of the dishes are pretty good food, but a lot is stuff I never ate and never eat.

Well, #3, a lot of us don't WANT to stay home and cook anymore! I'm 84. I've done a lot of cooking in my Lifetime. My hubby retired 23 years ago. Did I get to Retire? NO! So, Cracker Barrel is on my list of good food replacement for Home Cooking. We Love their chicken and dumplings! We have home cooking probably 4 days out of the Week and the rest of the week is Leftovers or eating out at one of the huge choices of Restaurants in our area. Yes, Cracker Barrel is popular in our area and I do see a lot of "Elderly Folks" there, because they need a break from cooking!! We're not looking for Pizza or McDonalds. We're looking for Meat and Potatoes, Chicken and Dumplings or Beef Stew! So we support Cracker Barrel!

I can honestly say that I have never eaten at Cracker Barrel by personal choice, and I can count on one hand the number of times I have gone there to eat by the choice of anyone else. Everyone has their preferences. I’m thankful there are choices to accommodate most tastes. I wish success to them all!

I used to be a CB regular - breakfast (maple pancakes), lunch or dinner (pulled pork BBQ, or turkey and stuffing) several times a month. First, the maple syrup was replaced by "100% natural syrup" (flavored corn syrup), then the pulled pork BBQ disappeared entirely. Finally, the turkey stuffing changed from cornbread to sage (which I hate). Somewhere in that progression, I had to visit the formerly clean rest rooms at my local CB, only to walk into a trashed-out mess. I haven't been back. The new decor looks sterile, but I could stand it if they hadn't eliminated everything I liked on their menu. They are alienating their regulars, while not attracting new customers. CB will circle the bowl for a while, but absent a major direction change, they're toast.

"Polly want a cracker?" "Raaaawk! No thank you." I don't have a big deal with the rebranding. At least they didn't have a tyranny gushing over it. The shop interiors are interesting as all get out, trying to identify items clear back to the mid-1800s. I hope that doesn't change with new stores.

here's a crazy idea: Develop a cracker that will be a CB exclusive that people will crave. Sell the crackers (for a reasonable price) at CB. For the logo, keep the barrel because 'barrel' is in the name of the restaurant. Now add the CB crackers to the logo.

Does anyone know if Julie Felss Massino went to college with the Bud Light babe Alissa Heinerscheid? Maybe they were sorority sisters or something. They sure think alike. To those that think CB is just doing a remodel, the key was getting rid of the white dude. Miss Julie clearly wanted to make the brand more "inclusive." It is reported that the makeover started last year, when white dudes were clearly outta fashion. Hmmm. Wondering if Miss Julie and her minions feel the same way in 2025 after the events of November 7, 2024 and the spectacular success of the mega white dude, Donald J. Trump and his dudes and dedettes? Just askin'.

The last time we went there for dinner, it took 20 minutes to order and another hour plus until we got our food. If they want to improve things, hire more cooks...and stop changing the menu. Needless to say, we haven't gone back.

For many years, conservatives had to sit by and watch so many companies, and even the NFL, being destroyed by wokeness. But we finally got sick of it and started to stand up to these companies wanting our money by spitting in our faces with things we found repulsive!!!!! No more!!!! We started making our opinions known, and "voting" with our wallets. Ask Bud Light how that worked out for them!!!!! Cracker Barrel has forgotten their base customers: Families, travelers, and senior citizens -- with a serious conservative leaning -- who make up probably 90% of their business. We loved the feeling of going to Grandma's house when we went to eat there. We loved the country market feel in the store. We loved the Christian music playing in Cracker Barrel. But all that is going away because some woke liberal CEO decided that they needed to "modernize". So, yes, we are upset and we are letting you know while there is still time to say "oops, we made a mistake", and kill these changes now!!!! Otherwise, be prepared to "Go Woke, Go Broke"!!!!!

If you think the H-1B visa program is about bringing in “the best and brightest,” think again. What we’ve actually imported is an army of cheap, unqualified labor that’s gutted our tech industry, sunk wages, and turned once-prestigious jobs into low-level coding sweatshops.Economist Peter St. Onge breaks it down perfectly in this clip… what was sold to Americans as this “high-skilled program” is now a marathon race-to-the-bottom that’s costing us our jobs, our innovation, and our competitive edge.

If that argument is true, then why are the institutions in so many so-called “red states” just as left-wing as their blue state counterparts? A new report authored by the State Leadership Initiative (SLI) and obtained by The Federalist reveals how many Republican-run states “remain deeply entangled in the same bureaucratic bloat, cultural drift, and economic stagnation” that are features of those run by Democrats.

The comments by Moscow’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov undercut hopes that any progress has been made toward ending the Ukraine war since Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday in Alaska. Lavrov’s remarks further indicate that the Kremlin has not softened on its maximalist positions on Ukraine: that it becomes a neutral rump state; drastically reduces its military; and abandons its NATO membership aspirations after Russia is finished with it.

According to an Aug. 19 post on Truth Social, the president believes that museums are the “last remaining segment of ‘WOKE,’” and he wants to address the issue the same way his administration has treated colleges and universities. Trump pointed specifically to a Washington, D.C., icon as a demonstration of the issue, saying, “The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been—Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”

The stock had dipped to a low of $50.27 earlier in the day, representing a loss of almost $200 billion in its capitalization.

Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino has responded to the backlash against the company's bizarre woke rebrand, and it's as bad as you might imagine.[snip] When asked why Cracker Barrel was making all these changes, Masino's corporate-speak didn't fail with her reply that "Cracker Barrel needs to feel like the Cracker Barrel for today and for tomorrow." Strahan then asked the CEO about how the new look has prompted numerous videos on social media slamming it, and she just brushed it off. "Honestly, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive that people like what we are doing," Masino responded.

If any governor should know the risks of sending the National Guard to police an American city, it should be the governor of Ohio. Everyone in Ohio knows what happened on May 4, 1970, when National Guard troops opened fire on anti-war protesters at Kent State University. Four protesters were killed and nine others wounded, including one who was paralyzed from the waist down. [Snip] He’s sending them to police American civilians and further Trump’s political agenda, which includes normalizing the deployment of military troops on the streets of American communities even when local leaders don’t want them there.

Trump posted a photo of Coristine after he was beaten bloody by the mob of teens. The President has since federalized DC to crack down on crime.[snip] Judge Briggs released one teen to a youth shelter and the other to his mother.

A New York appeals court Thursday threw out the massive $464 million judgment dealt to President Trump after he was found liable at a civil trial for business fraud. The Appellate Division, First Department overturned the whopping fine in the case in which Trump, 78, was found to have fraudulently inflated his net worth by billions of dollars over a decade to get better loan and insurance terms. Trump would have had to pay a total of more than $500 million, including more than $100 million in interest, had the February 2024 ruling from Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron been upheld. The appeal court’s decision follows a theatric 11-week trial

It might be easy to dismiss the growing unrest in Britain, where crowds of fed-up and violently angry citizens are suddenly taking to the streets to end what they see as the tyranny of woke multiculturalism and horribly failed immigration policies. But right now, it looks as if the country could be nearing some kind of national breakdown or split, one with major global ramifications. Are we going a little too far in seeing a possible breakup or civil war? Not at all. The social pressures from a near non-stop influx of immigrants, legal and illegal, have been building for

As reported earlier, in a huge blow to Letitia James and Biden’s prosecutors, a New York Appeals Court threw out the massive civil fraud penalty against President Trump on Thursday. New York Attorney General Letitia James lashed out after a New York Appeals Court threw out the $515 million judgement against Trump. James said she is going to appeal the decision so she can continue to go after Trump. “The First Department today affirmed the well-supported finding of the trial court: Donald Trump, his company, and two of his children are liable for fraud,” Letitia James said.

From the Miami Herald, Judge orders Alligator Alcatraz shut down in 60 days, says no more new detainees. It’s an Obama-appointed federal district judge, of course, and this is the case involving the alleged “environmental damage” being done to one of the world’s biggest swamps. From the Herald, Though her order does not prohibit the state from making repairs to the site, the most striking aspect of the order is her demand that the state begin removing all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste items that have transformed the airstrip into a detention center within 60 days, rendering the site uninhabitable. The state of Florida, of course, is appealing the decision.
