Cracker Barrel Issues Apology After Backlash Over Controversial Décor

Controversial Ceiling Decorations at Cracker Barrel
In November 2020, a Cracker Barrel restaurant in East Windsor, Connecticut, faced criticism after a customer posted photos on Twitter showing ceiling decorations that looked like nooses. This sparked a public backlash against the restaurant.

Cracker Barrel’s Response and Apology
The restaurant apologized and explained that the cords were part of an antique soldering iron display. They admitted, “they should have recognized the resemblance” and immediately removed the item, which had been displayed for 22 years.

Community Reaction and Dialogue
Activists met with the restaurant manager, Mark Smith, for a “positive” conversation. Smith, a white man, acknowledged different perspectives, saying he “might not see what others do.”

Company’s Commitment to Inclusivity
Cracker Barrel stated it wants to foster “a respectful and inclusive environment” and is reviewing its décor practices. Social media users have since urged the chain to audit decorations in all its locations.
