They should change the name of Cracker Barrel to Halal Barrel and only serve Sharia style meals.
A Muslim restaurant called “Halal Barrel” would serve food that is strictly halal, meaning prepared in accordance with Islamic dietary laws.

- Cleanliness and separation from non-halal foods are emphasized.
Likely Menu Styles - Middle Eastern classics: shawarma, kebabs, kofta, falafel, hummus, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, fresh pita.
- South Asian halal fare: biryani, butter chicken (with halal chicken), lamb curry, samosas, naan.
- Mediterranean halal options: grilled lamb, beef skewers, chicken souvlaki (halal), rice platters, fresh salads with olive oil dressings.
- Modern halal fusion: halal burgers, fried chicken, BBQ ribs (beef or lamb), pizzas with halal toppings.
Drinks & Desserts - Mocktails, fresh juices, mint lemonade, yogurt-based drinks (lassi, ayran).
- Desserts like baklava, kunafa, basbousa, rice pudding, or halal-friendly ice cream.
Atmosphere of “Halal Barrel” The name suggests big portions, communal eating, and hearty comfort food, like platters of grilled meats, rice, bread, and shared sides. Think of it as the halal equivalent of a steakhouse or tavern, but alcohol-free and family-friendly.
