Cracker Barrel is known for its signature comfort food dishes that taste homemade — as in fresh out of the oven. Quality is always a hallmark of a good restaurant chain, and recently Cracker Barrel has been under scrutiny for compromising on the quality that most expect from the chain. Employees at Cracker Barrel revealed online that the company has started to sell day-old meatloaf. As one of Cracker Barrel's staple menu items, this has led to widespread criticism……..again. In an effort to cut back on their resources and save some money, Cracker Barrel management advised employees to prepare the meatloaf the day before and then warm it up in the microwave before serving. This preparation affects the taste and texture of the meatloaf, which flies in the face of quality. Another menu item the company has also decided not to serve fresh are their biscuits, which are prepared the day before and reheated. Cracker Barrel’s new procedure has left a bad taste in its customers’ mouths, and that’s something the chain can’t afford right now.
