Cracker Barrel came under fire last month for its short-lived logo redesign, which included the removal of its namesake cracker and barrel. Now, the company has announced that it won’t be remodeling its restaurants either, as it had previously planned to, and in some cases, had already done.

But before you chalk this up as a win, remember, they didn’t say anything about improving the food.
