    Not shocking. Personally when we’re down south we always hit the local CB. Great candy selection and breakfast.

    Hell a Buc-ees probably couldn’t survive here.

    Cracker Barrel should be a haven for BLM activists.

    Had to being doing just awful. Their restaurants are big and brand new with probably a 20 year lease and hard to repurpose. To cave in such a short period of time and eat the lease shows that their target audience of middle America is getting squeezed out with high gas prices and their utility bills and grocery bills. Add a couple thousand dollars a year in inflation costs and all the lost revenue from the lockdowns and 20+ million unemployed.

    Buc-ees is a damn national treasure. A gas station that sells art in the bathroom, AND has a delicious brisket sandwich- just brilliant.

    I've been to a couple CBs and it was always a substandard experience. Food wasn't prepared right on one occasion, and both times they make you wait in this giant line in the gift shop just to pay for your meal.

    I’ve never eaten at Cracker Barrel. Seems like it would fall into the Claim Jumper/Marie Calendars category. Those kinds of regional chains rise and fall all the time, but to see the doors close on multiple stores so quickly is obviously discouraging from a broader perspective…

    If Waffle House comes and goes belly up it’s “Houston we have a problem.”

    I'd be more worried for civil unrest if Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen shut down.

    White people shouldn't be eating there regardless.

    They have ChikFilA

    I hear enough of that at home when I dog that greasy ass place. The GD floors in their places are so greasy you can skate across them.

    Well there are exceptions. The E. Van location, not so much.

    I prefer to not be at risk of gunfire when I line up for my chicken sandwich.

    Chick Fil-A has been nothing but a model of efficiency during the pandemic. They now have full size sliding doors at some locations to bust the drive thru line wait times.
