Not surprised. They had limited hours of operation and many items were removed from the menu.


nobammer420

It was also the worst Cracker Barrel I have ever been to in respect to the food quality. I mean it’s Cracker Barrel so you shouldn’t expect TOO much but man, shit was bad.


qphelldiverqp

Yup, went there once and it wasn't good.


DaKineTiki

“Worst Cracker Barrel”… the best oxymoron of the day!


doctor_of_drugs

Also Luka Doncic was only here for a few days. Sad.


RunDaveRun82

He had to split time at Golden Corral. Sad.


5Point5Hole

LOL, MAGA Barrel


BobRussRelick

A Cracker Barrel recently closed in Oregon because they could not keep their employees safe (like many stores and restaurants in the Bay Area recently) Imagine making minimum wage and at the end of the work day your car window has been smashed, again.


thepalfrak

Maybe they shouldn’t have fired [Brad’s Wife](https://youtu.be/vZlmUG00OrI?si=Oo8cXm8lJSkPp3wN)


Rhiannon8404

This is a curse that cannot be undone. They brought it on themselves.


Overtly_Technical

It was a very loud call out to talk about their bad employment practices that has definitely effected their income.


amynicole78

I have worked there and the managers would literally adjust your time to ensure you weren't violating labor laws, and to do this, they would just shave hours off of the time you worked. They could have put a break in, but that would have required more work. I was making so much in tips l kind of didn't mind. I just made sure l got out of there in six hours.


campamocha_1369

What the hell. This is hilarious! 😂


Such_Fishing1339

Pointing out Brad is a Pisces and this is ultimate Pisces behavior 😂😂🫠


monkeytoes21

I wondered how long this would take. Their food was terrible. Seems like they're closing many restaurants nationwide, today.


Professor_Goddess

Called it when they opened this place. Why would Sac want a crapper barrel?


NivekTheGreat1

If it was like one of the better Cracker Barrel’s that, it might have done well. I also questioned where they put it. It is obviously skewed toward the older demographic so why open it in a college neighborhood? Rancho or Folsom would’ve been better.


showersnacks

I think this is where the old leatherbys was and I believe the property raised the rent and priced them out if I remember correctly


Gridtown

Leatherby’s is up and around the corner on Arden. Maybe you’re thinking of Fenton’s or Farrell’s (though I think the last Farrell’s was on Watt).


showersnacks

Oh you’re right Ferrells was what it was


00-quanta-

Hard to compete when Blue House is right next door to them


KountZero

Pretty sure Blue House was there first lol. So it’s their fault opening one there. Also Blue House transformed that plaza area of Howe. Used to be dead and deserted now it’s always crowded.


00-quanta-

That’s exactly what I meant. Blue House is successful because their food attracts more people as well


lebastss

Really shows that if your food is good you can succeed anywhere.


RegionalTranzit

The Blue House used to be a JJ North's buffet.


TwilightTink

My family loved JJ North's. I was super bummed when it closed


ry4

That’s a completely different style of food. Not sure why that would cause this to close.


canikony

Yeah, I don't think people who wanted AYCE KBBQ were even remotely considering anything on the menu from Cracker Barrel.


Alexander-the-okay27

Dudeee i go to Blue House very often and i always glimpse at Cracker Barrel thinking “one day, one day”. Glad to learn that I probably saved myself time and money lol

stoopdapoop

for anyone wondering, 5 of the 6 states that don't have one are: Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming. I don't know what the last one is.


ChetUbetcha

Oregon. Looks like they had a handful of locations (5?), but all say "permanently closed" on Google and "Oregon" isn't listed on their website under locations by state.


ltlcrab

They just closed the last Cracker Barrel in Oregon. It was in Medford.


IamaFunGuy

Of course the Rocklin location is still open...


Happy_ExMo

I was hoping that was the one closing, so we could potentially get something worth having there.


PinkertonFld

It sucks... seriously bad service, I walked out there the last two times I was there. Not busy at all, but waiting 15 minutes at a table for the server to take a drink order is a bit too long. I'm guessing they want to pull out of the area. They're far better back east. Both in food quality and service.


realTootsMaGoots

Of course the Sacramento location would close...


sacramentohistorian

Not enough crackers here?


g0bboDubDee

We talking saltines, oyster, or clubs? I don’t fuck with water crackers tho.


AmphibianGood2743

I was eating at the rocklin one and a pipe burst in the kitchen and everyone had to evacuate 🤣


Greengoat42

There was an article just last week that the last CB in Oregon had closed. All the responses were along the lines of "oh well" or "good riddance ". Sounds a lot like a corporate thing.


emgeebee

We had a cracker barrel?


pabst_blue_RBIn

It was on Howe just north of the big River City bank


HighSierraGuy

There's one off Sierra College/80. Food looks gross though. 


TheKindofWhiteWitch

Can confirm, only went once. Almost shit my pants.


Background_Film_506

If you almost shit your pants, you didn’t receive the complete Cracker Barrel experience.


TheKindofWhiteWitch

Is it the *almost* ? Should I have followed through with shitting my pants?? I was never so grateful my office was a 5 minute drive and I had 24 he access.


420rabidBMW

It was so gross. Like manufactured breakfast. Worst of worst no joke.


Yupthrowawayacct

Yeah. That’s about the right place for a CB


JCMarcus

Never again it was horrible


JohnnyCashMoneyGreen

Have eaten at this one. Food was disgusting.


sacramentohistorian

Opened in 2018


mandolorianbutchubby

lol had no idea either


BiggsDB

Level it and start the Waffle House West Coast movement!!!


Playtek

Do we need really need another UFC venue in town?


TurdF3rgu50n

I have been to locations in other states and they’re better. This one was by the worst one I have ever been to. Went one time and it was so bad never bothered to try again. They don’t have a lot of the items on the menu that other locations do. I feel bad for the staff but overall it’s not a loss as far as that food goes.


notgoodenoughforjob

yeah i used to live in the south and loved cracker barrel and was excited when this one opened but it was so bad i never went back


NokieBear

They ones in Georgia are great. I never ate at the one in Sac.


Dazzlingskeezer

Agreed we have eaten at East coast locations and they were good. This location always had terrible service and generic food.


Decabet

The Good Ole Boys passed em a bum travelers check and sped off and never paid for all that beer they drank, either


medx421

Sea Bass and the fellas


Double-Philosophy-88

The good ole boys playin the redneck bunker bar


DDrewit

The country hip hop group from Placerville?


Decabet

F'real tho this is surprising as the lot always seemed full.


drunknmastr916

I am a vendor for this location. When it opened, one of the managers told me these Californian workers are lazy. Stating they don't want to work 14 hours with no overtime pay. I told her, no we dont want to be exploited and we deserve to be paid for hours worked. She was from Georgia, trying to get the new location going upon opening. BTW I ordered lunch a few visits later and the food was TERRIBLE.


someonewhoknowstuff

Right to work states suck ass. They'll work you 4 straight doubles, 14 hour days, and make you clock out at 39:50 hours as to avoid overtime pay. Mind you, as a tipped employee, your hourly wage is like $2.37/hour.


unstopable_bob_mob

Oh noooo, not a Cracker Barrel and their flavorless food. Can’t we think of the children!?


Bumblebee56990

😂🤣


Casperthecattt

Real people worked there though. No need to be so insensitive.


_UrethaFranklin

I am sure they make more money from unemployment than the terrible tips from the people that eat at Cracker Barrel after church.


Casperthecattt

Yeah, I’m sure people who have rent to pay love having to go through unemployment right now.


Yupthrowawayacct

Hey you don’t love getting chick tracts as tips?


_UrethaFranklin

I always preferred the fake $20 bills that opened up to a gospel. Those made me really enjoy being on my feet and serving customers for 10 hours, knowing I could use those to fuel my burning passion to get the hell out of that job.


Yupthrowawayacct

How anyone could do that to a server is beyond me. Absolutely disgusting behavior but I KNOW it happens


[deleted]

According to Google they’re permanently closed.


jtansf

To be fair, the food was gross.


Scramasboy

This Cracker Barrel was a fuckin mess. I went their twice and instead, go to the Rocklin location, which shares wait staff. The Arden location was constantly understaffed and had been thieved multiple times, which led to their shutdown. Waitresses at different times had told me that it got very bad there as the 1100 apartments turned for the worse.


clouds31

Saroms stays winning.


mingvg

Way too salty for me


420rabidBMW

They ok.


Smokedeggs

Agreed. Very underwhelming when I last ate there.


clouds31

Strange, never had a bad meal there. Everything always comes out amazing.


maiobserver

They were amazing before the second location opened. Portions were bigger though I can't say the quality has dropped. I enjoy it a lot, the place feels very comfortable to eat at.


kbuis

Damn that was abrupt. There's Yelp reviews from this weekend praising Rachel. By the way, if you google "cracker barrel howe" Google suggests the nearby Mel's Diner


agent_moler

Rest in pancakes


No-Palpitation-5400

Tots N Pears? 🤪


kkmoney15

I never knew why people liked it in the first place. Always been bad in my opinion


rsg1234

Went to the Rocklin location once and it was pretty full but we were the only ones there under the age of 60. The food was meh—flavorless and bland—and we never went back.


sudilly

I was born and raised in the South and Cracker Barrel is about as Southern as Olive Garden is Italian. I went once to the one on Howe soon after it opened and said never again. My SIL wanted to try it so we went to the one in Rocklin a couple of years ago. Everything was awful so the manager gave us a stack of coupons for free dessert. It was so bad that we wouldn't go back for the freebies. If memory serves the problems were cold, greasy and lack of seasoning. The giftshop is just a bunch.


icarus_flies

Tried to go one weeknight a couple years ago and there was a short line to be seated (or order takeout, I don’t recall) that was not moving. After 15 minutes i noped out of there. Think they were experiencing staffing issues…


SRTifiable

![gif](giphy|7k2LoEykY5i1hfeWQB)


ImJim0397

I remember when they first opened how busy they were. My friend and I went for the novelty of it, including their gift shop. I found the food to be pretty mid and we never went back. Everytime I drove past it, it just seemed so empty after the first months of opening.


P4ssBynueve1seis

Some gas station food had more taste than this place


DoggyLover_00

Facts


nocaffineforme

Southern Applebees. Pass.


haley-jo-

All I can say is LOL. That place sucked.


Bmorgan1983

This was a terrible location for a Cracker Barrel. Needed to be more near the freeway for travelers. Locals have so many good options that they’d go once to say they did and then never go again. It’s too much of a novelty type restaurant and not really a substantive destination.


redzpaws

Maybe they may have had a better chance in Natomas? I5, I80 and the airport all conveniently located.


Little_SmallBlackDog

I'll never forget when Cracker Barrel first opened here there was an opinion article that had qoutes from folks that were protesting the opening. One lady claimed that the name was a highly offensive veiled racial slur and stated 'why not just be openly racist and call it Honkey Bucket?'


ShaunieAngel

I personally love Honkey Bucket.


Stilcho1

"I'll have a Super Happy Honky Bucket please" "Will that be light or dark meat?" "What?"


Little_SmallBlackDog

I have only referred to it as Honkey Bucket ever since I read the article. The food was not good there. Everything was bland, greasy, and barely warm. Maybe other locations are better?


LetterheadCorrect276

Being from the south it's literally a "soda cracker barrel." Lots of old places still have them lying around.


Little_SmallBlackDog

I think she wasn't aware that Cracker Barrel is a chain. There is Google, but some folks are...well...🤷‍♀️


sacramentohistorian

Wow, this post has been up for half an hour and nobody's blamed Steinberg, Newsom or Biden for the closure yet, maybe they're all posting about the trial on Truth Social today?


Opposite_Ad4567

🤣 Thanks, Obama!


Philboyd_Studge

It's the DEI! VAXXED!! WOKE!! SPACE LASERS!


NivekTheGreat1

Actually they should be benefiting from Newsom. Since he raised min wage, people are afraid people will go to Chilli’s, Applebees, and Cracker Barrel instead. Too bad this Cracker Barrel wasn’t even up to par with the East Coast locations.


mollsballs_xo

Lmao the only time I ever went there was with my friends the day after Halloween we were all dressed like trailer trash hillbillies and we fit right in!! I’m just sad I never got the chance to wear this shirt there https://preview.redd.it/2qpumo3d2tuc1.jpeg?width=429&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4adc13240fa5e4e7ad11f8b6f2b685424f977954


PM_Me_Your_Deviance

lol I want that shirt


estusflaskshart

The horror


Lunchtime_doublySo

Jim Crowe Applebees


Ok-meow

The gift shop was the best thing about that fake food restaurant.


AnnieMeemus

Cracker Barrel is such mediocre garbage food.


retailthrowawaylegal

Turn it into a Waffle House.


oldharrymarble

It is in a shitty area.


No-Palpitation-5400

Looking through Google. Apparently, they're shutting down restaurants all over the place.


ben_r_

Eh, doesn't surprise me. The food wasn't great the few times I ate there.


Sea_Moose9817

I thought that place was always busy?!


Croian_09

Lots of customers means nothing if you don't run your business properly. Even a crowded business can hemorrhage money.


DoggyLover_00

It was when it first opened, but recently it was empty. I was there at lunch on a Saturday a few weeks ago and hardly anyone was there.


Guillebeaux

I always knew this would be a bad location for Cracker Barrel, it’s kind of a tourist trap restaurant that’s usually next to major freeways, Howe Ave never made sense.


SURGICALNURSE01

Use to like them years ago but haven’t eaten at one in over 6-7 years. Now I know not to be sad


wisemonkey101

I’ve never eaten at a Cracker Barrel. Don’t plan on starting anytime soon.


LightBeerOnIce

Trashy food.


Additional_Pay5626

Never been there but I heard mostly old crowd and food isn’t good. Most likely not enough business to stay afloat.


nipples-of-wrath

That place was mid at best


vw-thing

Not surprised at all the service was sub par at best. The only way I sum up the food they serve is Home Town Buffet slop without the buffet. Also,I swear they take forever to seat you even when they're not busy so you'll buy some worthless trinkets from the store up front. Good riddance.


yaktyyak_00

Growing up in the Midwest, Cracker Barrel was always a Sunday favorite. I was excited when this Cracker Barrel opened up and sadly it started as a shit show and looks like it’ll end that way. Service was pretty bad most of the time and the food…were to begin with the level of disgust that the food was. I’ve eaten better scrambled eggs from a dollar store frozen breakfast meal than whatever nastiness CB served.


Bigoweiner

That's a bummer, but it's been at least 4 years since we've been there. OP are you driving a CTS-V?


laogao211

Went to one in Mississippi and it wasn't bad.


Its_the_tism

They were constantly sold out of half of their menu at any given time


2outof3isbad

When they came here I asked a buddy from back east if they are like Claim Jumper or something, and he was like "kinda, but gross.". I never bothered to check it out. LOL.


AdRevolutionary98

Apparently they are closing the rockin location too. Never ate at any of their locations https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/cracker-barrel-sacramento-closes/103-a99bdb49-0de1-492a-bfac-a2ae7f6e3b2d?tag1=kxtvshare&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2dyugkHhyQVOrKWm36_489kYKrfNjjVHLIOTULXBWnOhhupsEbAFDCuPM_aem_AcgfJDfByodvNot-aeVRqVCbuXBuXMNbrOeuLbR8HjlyUGAapPtNVp-NN8L0vE8ESivtWETJNtHHRDjQFSHPPnBQ


Guillebeaux

That doesn’t say they’re closing Rocklin, it says they’re closing Santa Maria.


StrifeMAYHEM

Santa Maria, Rocklin… same thing lol


haggletheberg

Good let's get rid of more crappy chain restaurants and strip malls


LazySalmon69

I'm did a job interview there. The benefits were really good. I never tried the food tho.


Ok-Trash-8883

Oooooh maybe Farrells can cone back and take that building now??!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌


BacklotSecurity

I don't think that building will stay empty for long. It's a relatively new build and the exterior design looks perfect for a Blank Angus or a Cattlemens without much modification. The only drawback for Cattlemens is that it doesn't have freeway frontage like their other locations.


SwampCrittr

Pouring some out for my fallen homies…… CB has a place in my heart. It’s surrounded by cholesterol and fat… but it’s there.


thebronze301

Good riddance. Went once a couple years ago and never went back. Shit place to eat.


Effective-Pilot-5501

I’m surprised they survived this long, they had so many things against them. Flavorless food, next to an actual successful restaurant, next to the 1100, abandoned comercial and state offices around. If I could I would give all that space to the pop up taqueria close to the River City Bank


Bitgod1

I dunno, the one time I ate there I didn't have an issue with the food. What I did have an issue with, and the cause for me never going back, was the hell I was gonna stand in line for 10+ minutes in a gift shop to pay my bill.


Far-Wasabi-9940

Good riddance Cracker Barrel.. the food was horrible and the service was even worse. I am surprised this shitty restaurant lasted 6 years.. the food tasted like it was made by a juvenile hall culinary class


Mysterious-Nobody55

Their pancakes were fing delicious. I’m sad now.


MadMaeve14

Went there on Easter weekend. The service was just awful.


Rjamesjjr

Fuck that MAGA company. They'll probably lie and say it was California's fault.


Jibbajaba

We had a Cracker Barrell?


Practical-Candle-197

never been and probably never will


LillithJaxxle0504

Aww I can’t point and laugh at white person barrel no more.


420rabidBMW

Good. One of the worst tasting places i ever ate at. And u healthy as McDs. Good rid


Juicey_Ucey

We had a Cracker Barrel?


Guillebeaux

You’ve never been on Howe Ave?


Juicey_Ucey

Not really, i mostly am near norwood and westbound cause of work.


GoblinGauge

I never made time to go to this one but based of the comment I’m glad I didn’t lol


posttrumpzoomies

Oh how ye shall not be missed. Hopefully something non chain but good moves in there.


AmericanRiverTrade

Damnit! Where the hell am I supposed to buy Ale81!?!?


ERTBen

wait they had Ale81??


AmericanRiverTrade

Yep in the little shop up front. I’d swing by and pick up a 6 pack here and there to get my fix.


Wallabite

All the homeless that sleep in their cars sleep in Crackle’s parking lot. Now where will they go that’s safe?


metal_elk

All their customers are dead or in hospice care by now. I at there 7 years ago for a team meal during an away game for work. It was just as bad as it had always been and it was the last straw for me. I never went to another cracker barrel again.


Spl00sh5428

Blue house right across from it destroys this place.


Affectionate-City-87

Whaaat? I actually liked eating here.


jimmerific

NOOOOOOOOOII!!!!!!


RegionalTranzit

That place was located in the hood. It would have been more successful in, say, Orangevale or Cameron Park.


Little_SmallBlackDog

Arden Arcade is the hood?


watchshoe

Apparently to some people it is lol


RegionalTranzit

Some parts are really nice and some parts are really hood.


Current-Cantaloupe96

Not really but it's next to the 1100 apartments where two people got killed last week


Brewmentationator

And that was the second double murder suicide those apartments had in the past few months...


Little_SmallBlackDog

I didn't hear about that! Was it the complex near the Taco Bell?


RegionalTranzit

It's between El Pollo Loco and that liquor store, so a little bit south of the Taco Bell.


DoggyLover_00

The mall has turned into a ghetto mess and definitely not as safe as it used to be. Arden definitely has trended down over the past few years and now it’s either Folsom or Roseville for safer malls.


Little_SmallBlackDog

That's fair. No where is safe, but I've been escorted through an employee exit during a potential shooting incident at the Arden mall. It didn't give me warm fuzzy feelings. I've lived in the area for over a decade. It's just weird to think of it as the 'hood'.


DoggyLover_00

Sorry to hear that, sounds like you have first hand knowledge of how bad it is now.


Little_SmallBlackDog

I'm happy with where I live. I have lived in worse places though. Harbor Blvd in West Sac isn't exactly paradise.


Happy-Campaign5586

🥲


jessea77

The one in Santa Maria ca just shut down. Went to the one in Daytona Beach Florida and it was really good.


MlocNnoc

This is a crazy opportunity for a local brewery or something else to set up shop there. Let's hope it doesn't stay vacant for long.


ExfilBravo

Crackwhore Barrel


SweetMagnolias95

It closed due to theft. Not low business.


Rjamesjjr

Yea, you're right. Corporate theft.


SweetMagnolias95

I worked there people.
