They say all that is old is new again.

And it seems that the much-maligned but still beloved Cracker Barrel is of the opinion that even the old needs a refresh sometimes.

They’ve started implementing a new look, and not everyone is on board with the change.

Here it is from TikTok user @kristilynnstokes:

“When it’s your 1st time seeing the new Cracker Barrel aesthetic,” reads the caption.

Others said they were already out.

But do they still have that little peg board game?
