I disagree
I think both have gone to shitsville in quality in the last few years. I actively avoid both as i don't feel the quality and quantity is worth the price.
But there was a time way back in the 80’s thru 2000 I’d pull in to CB in lieu of BE’s but BE’s have remained the same and got back my bidness
The ones around my area suck, but I've been in the eastern part of the state and found much better food quality. As for Cracker Barrel, it seems like after the "covid period", their food quality, service and food portions have dropped considerably.

I would eat there lolCB is trash now. We stopped at one about a year ago and at a different one last month. The one last month we literally paid, zero tip and walked out. I have zeroed a tip maybe three times in my life. The food was trash, the kitchen speed was trash, the waitress took 15 minutes to even get drink orders, disappeared forever before coming back for the food orders, never once checked on the table, I asked for hot sauce and she never returned. Even had to ask another server for our bill. All around garbage.
Here is the problem, CB has to rebrand, their target customer is dying off. They need to rebrand to something more modern to attract younger customers. They completely whiffed the angle though. Never take away just pivot. They could have done Cracker Barrel "old country store is proud to add new "farm to table" options. Then pivot to farming or some other crap, start carrying hippy crap like essential oils and soaps. Then slowly and quietly start to phase out the country store part. You can't just rebrand overnight and make a complete shift. It doesn't work.
I always thought this guy had a funny take.

Except the S&S in my town no longer has servers. You now walk in to a computer screen an tap out your order while a “hostess” coaches you. Wait for your number to be called, go get your own order, then buss the table when your done…
