BATON ROUGE — After hearing from the court of popular opinion, Cracker Barrel said Tuesday it would abandon its plan to renovate its 660 restaurants.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the restaurant chain said it was suspending plans to remodel its throwback-style venues.

"If your restaurant hasn't been remodeled, you don't need to worry," the chain said.

In the Capitol region, the restaurant chain has locations in Baton Rouge, Gonzales and Hammond.

Tuesday's announcement came two weeks after Cracker Barrel backtracked on a separate plan to modernize and simplify its logo . Fans of the chain had also loudly criticized that move.

Lebanon, Tennessee-based Cracker Barrel said Tuesday that just four of its 660 restaurants had been remodeled as part of a test for the brand.
