Cracker Barrel wants Americans to move forward following intense blowback after the company rebranded its iconic logo and stores.The beloved franchise was dragged through the mud when customers noticed a change to its recognizable logo, which removed the "old-timer" known as Uncle Herschel sitting on a chair next to a barrel. The brand took it a step further by also removing the barrel itself and erasing the text "Old Country Store."'Nobody asked for a remodel for modern dining!' This left the logo as just black "Cracker Barrel" text on a yellow background, zapping the fun and charm out of not only the company website, but more importantly, the interior of its locations.After millions voiced their disdain with the rebrand, Cracker Barrel formally responded Monday morning, but it may not be what consumers were hoping for."If the last few days have shown us anything, it's how deeply people care about Cracker Barrel," the company posted on Facebook. "You've also shown us that we could've done a better job sharing who we are and who we'll always be," the post continues.With a "promise" to its guests, the company wrote that it will not be getting rid of its rocking chairs, hearth, peg games, or unique treasures. But the same cannot be said for unique design of the stores or the old logo.RELATED: Cracker Barrel ditches Americana as customers call for boycott over iconic brand changeOur promise to you.Posted by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store on Monday, August 25, 2025Cracker Barrel said it loved seeing how much people care about Uncle Herschel and that it will still include him on the menu, "road signs," and as a feature in the country stores."He's not going anywhere — he's family," the company claimed.Reading between the lines, though, it seems Cracker Barrel is sticking with the new logo and interior design that have received so much criticism. The company message then jumped into menu items, listing off products like country fried steak and pancakes."While our logo and remodels may be making headlines, our bigger focus is still right where it belongs ... in the kitchen and on your plate," Cracker Barrel stated. "We know we won't always get everything right the first time, but we'll keep testing, learning, and listening to our guests and employees," the company added, before invoking the "old-timer" one last time."Uncle Herschel wouldn't have it any other way."RELATED: Cracker Barrel's long history of cozying up to left-leaning organizations exposed: Report Readers were not fooled, and they let the company know in the comment section."If you are leaving him on the menus and road signs then leave him on the logo," Betty wrote. "Nobody asked for a remodel for modern dining! A lot of folks go to Cracker Barrel for nostalgia!!!!" Facebook user Audra stated.Real people even asked the brand, "Why take him off your logo?" while others stated they would not be returning to the restaurant."You change, I change! I'll change where I eat and shop, and it won't be Cracker Barrel," Randy added.Only time will tell whether remaining committed to the rebrand will help or hurt the company, but at the same time, the publicity has brought focus to the brand's left-wing activism.Cracker Barrel had previously boasted about its "culture and inclusion" initiatives that celebrate race- and gender-based programs. While its website has gone through a revamp and changed the terminology to "culture and belonging," it still promotes programs like "Be Bold," a mission to develop "black leaders," and the "LGBTQ+ Alliance."The purpose of the latter is "strengthening Cracker Barrel's relationship to the LGBTQ+ community."Like Blaze News?

President Donald Trump on Monday signed several executive orders to restore the rule of law across the nation, including action to protect America’s “most sacred and cherished symbol.”Trump signed “Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag” to prevent the desecration of the Stars and Stripes.'The president is right to be concerned about the desecration of one of the proudest symbols of our nation.' “Would you listen to this? This is very important,” Trump stated during Monday’s signing in the Oval Office. “All over the country they’re burning flags.”“Through a very sad court, I guess it was a five-to-four decision, they called it freedom of speech,” the president stated, referring to the Texas v. Johnson Supreme Court case in 1989.“When you burn the American flag, it incites riots at levels that we’ve never seen before. People go crazy,” he continued. “If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail. No early exit. No nothing.”The White House contended that burning the flag is “a statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against our Nation” that “may incite violence and riot.”RELATED: Trump moves to end radical left’s cashless bail to restore law and order nationwide Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images“American Flag burning is also used by groups of foreign nationals as a calculated act to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans because of their nationality and place of birth,” the administration added.According to the EO, those who desecrate the American flag could face charges related to burning restrictions, disorderly conduct, or destruction of property.Anti-immigration-enforcement protesters have held several demonstrations this year where they have burned American flags.Trump’s latest executive action has sparked bipartisan debate about whether flag-burning should be protected under the First Amendment.

This executive order will eventually allow the Justice Department to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit — and potentially overturn — a prior precedent saying that burning the American flag is constitutionally protected 'speech' under the First Amendment,” Zack Smith, a senior legal fellow and manager with the Heritage Foundation, told Blaze News.Journalist Christopher Rufo highlighted how some individuals have been prosecuted for burning or damaging Pride flags.“I'm sorry, but as long as this is the status quo, I'm not going to work myself into a state of hysteria about Trump's executive order on burning the American flag,” Rufo wrote in a post on social media. He noted that he is “sympathetic to the argument that burning the American flag is protected speech.”Trump also signed on Monday two executive orders that aim to eliminate cashless bail systems across the United States.
