Monica was our server- very pleasant and efficient. We split the Garden veggie omelet- I'm glad! It was huge and delicious. Came with potatoes (which could have been crispier in my opinion) and toast. It was plenty fir the 2 of us to share or if you want leftovers for tomorrow. With beverages, tax, and tip it was $20 read more

I realized I wrote a review back in 2014 .... 3 years later, still no gluten free bread options (aside from corn tortillas) .... no gluten free pancakes, waffles, or bread of any kind. Very sad about this. read more

Loved the food and loved the service! I'll definitely be going back! They have a lot of space so even though it was a busy Sunday we still didn't have to wait too long. Everyone in our group liked their food. read more

We went for lunch arriving just before closing time. Received excellent service. We ordered three different salads each one of us claiming ours was best. Impressed with menu and definitely plan to return for breakfast read more

We had a reservation for a large party at 11 and discovered when we got there that they had written down 12. Despite being busy they pulled a table together in the back super quickly and were extremely accommodating. Excellent food and great service. A++ read more

Me and my friend came in for breakfast today and we had the most amazing service right off the bar. Sandra is a doll and she made us feel at home. Also both our meals were fantastic and came out really fast despite being on a wait! Will definitely be coming back! read more

This is my first Yelp review, I'm not usually one to post something negative, but our experience wasn't great this afternoon and got even worse once we got home... the food and service were both barely acceptable. The person I was with is a vegetarian, they ordered the quesadilla without chicken (She mentioned she was a vegetarian). Unknowingly she ate 1/2 of her meal, boxed up the rest and didn't realize there was meat in it until we got home tonight... I myself am not vegetarian, but servers need pay attention and respect the beliefs of their customers. Been here twice. No chance there will be a third.... read more

I am visiting in Mesa Arizona and came here for breakfast. Ordered our food and 30 minutes later we still had no food the waitress came and apologized and said the kitchen was backed up. 20 more minutes later still no food so we asked to speak to the manager as all the tables that came in after us were served. Manager apologized and our food was brought out and we were told no charge. While we were finally eating a man approached us and stated he would not have us calling his waitress names which never happened. This pretty much ruined our whole experience. read more

Fun little spot with close access to the 101. A little pricey for the food. We ordered the avocado toast (winner!), bread pudding (delish!), blintzes and huevos rancheros. The refried beans in the huevos rancheros detracted from the dish. Overall cute spot but a little too pricey for us. read more

Found Crackers on Yelp and after looking at the menu online, we decided to give it a try.... One word, EXCELLENT!! From walking in the door to leaving the service was great, Jamus was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The carnitas omelet was fantastic, tasty and filling. We'll definitely return. read more

I enjoyed a delicious crab eggs benedict with hashbrowns. The service was good and the atmosphere is nice, yet casual. We went late on a Sunday morning, but only had to wait about 15 minutes. I would definitely go back. My only complaint is that I would like *some way* to learn nutritional information. It's not available on their menu, in the store, or on their website. Bummer for those of us with dietary restrictions. read more

We initially we're waiting about 5-10 minutes before we we're sat. (Behind us we're four older gentleman waiting.) Our waitress came over to get our drink order and asked if we were ready to order. To which the menu was much overwhelming for a first time visitor. Anyway, we get our drinks and she disappeared for 10-15 minutes before getting our food order. From where we were sitting I could see the gentleman behind us already eating their meals. We still haven't received ours. It's now been 30-35 minutes before getting our food. We were ready to walk out. She should've come over to tell us it will be out soon or something. But she didn't pay much attention to us at all. We then received our meals which were extremely dry (I got the New Hampton Skillet), and by that time my patience was gone. The waitress came back and took the meal back, but my toast was burnt black and my pancakes were dry as well so imagine my surprise when my next order was just as dry as the one before it. Although they comped us for the entree, I left much more frustrated than necessary for a simple breakfast. read more

Crackers & Co Cafe - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I've been here twice now, and both times this place has been amazing. The first time was a few years years ago when I went and had a quiet breakfast by myself. Since then I've wanted to take my wife there. We went on a weekend late morning and it was very busy, luckily since it was just 2 of us we were seated right away. This visit I had the French toast, which was AMAZING. Omg, the slices were ginormous, and their batter is magical. So filling I couldn't even finish half of it. My wife had the Turkey Bacon Melt, which she really liked. The flavouring in the mayo was very subtle, which made her pickiness very happy. Service was excellent, the bathrooms were nice and clean. This is definitely in my top 5 breakfast places. read more

Awesome food and waitstaff is very friendly! Our favorite place for breakfast. It is a must if you haven't tried it

Love this place. They have fun monthly specials that they offer to celebrate the holidays. Delicious pumpkin pancakes. Love the cinnamon rolls and cinnamon pancakes. Omelet choices are good. They offer a vegetarian omelet that is full of cheese and lots of veggies. Their hash Browns are made with cut potatoes and not shredded. Prices are reasonable for what you receive. read more

Amazing!! Everything they have is so great. Such a cute place too! Their sandwiches were to die for! Will definitely come back to try other things. read more

I'm a patron who visits this location often. It's usually for takeout. However, Easter Sunday, I met my daughter here for breakfast. I was enjoying the Heart Scram until I came across something in my dish. The GM immediately addressed it, and was so gracious. I will visit again. I love the atmosphere and service I get here. I love the variety on the menu. They're smart enough to stick with what they're good at(like their daily soups) and there's no sense in messing it up. My first time trying the Heart Scram, and it was delicious. I added nothing to it. It was seasoned perfectly. Of course, I had to get an oversized buttermilk pancake on the side. Nothing like a good carb after you've had a heart healthy dish! I just finished it off with the side of fresh fruit that came with the meal and called it even. read more

SO GROSS! This place used to be good, but is AWFUL now. WHAT HAPPENED??? Every surface is greasy, food is bland now, and the service sucks. Houston we have a problem. read more

Walked in, saw a baby cockroach cruising thru the restaurant floor which means the roach family ain't far away. We promptly left bc no one in our party craved a crunchy breakfast. read more

After reading all the good reviews of the other Mesa Crackers and Co, I went to this one because it's closer to my house. I don't know what all the hype is about. I found it to be just about the blandest, most boring, overpriced breakfast I've had in a long time. I got the Vatican which is a skillet with eggs cooked to order, hash browns, red and green bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and bits of bacon along with sausage and cheese all mixed together. I got the cheese on the side and ended up not putting much on. It was about $8.50. First, the sausage wasn't breakfast sausage, or perhaps it's like no breakfast sausage I've seen. It appeared to be Italian sausage or some rendition. The pieces were big and not my cup of tea at all. I'd have much rather had traditional breakfast sausage. It's clearly the standard, why mess with it? Maybe becuase it's called "The Vatican" but still, I wished it was marked on the menu that the sausage was different. I pulled all of them off my plate, I disliked them so much. The skillet had no seasoning whatsoever. I'm not a big fan of salt but it tasted like they didn't put any salt on anything, or any seasoning for that matter. I had to salt my food which I never do. Usually I think things are too salty eating out. The hashbrowns were pretty good but it's hard to mess that up. Nothing else was tasty. I ended up dumping Cholula over the whole thing which made it more edible. It was relatively greasy for how unflavorful it was. Even the english muffin that came on the side was flat and not very doughy. Most of the wait staff seemed pretty nice but our waitress wasn't all that great and only checked on us once even though she passed every 2 minutes to get to other tables. I would not try this place again. Their desserts did look good if you're into that thing. read more

I left this place feeling extremely unimpressed. I had the "Spicy Mexican Skillet". It wasn't spicy, or even good. It was very bland, very boring, and very lacking all around. Food sucked and our waitress took forever to take our order and when she did she reeked of smoke. So instead of serving us, she was out back having a cig. At least wash your hands and pop a mint when you're done so my nose isn't filled with stale smoke. Prices were high, food sucked. I also felt the interior seating was very lackluster. Had a cafeteria feel to it, not cozy at all. read more

We were long time patrons of this restaurant. We haven't been there for quite awhile as we moved out of the area. We were shocked at how shabby the place looked. The reservation desk is scratched and scarred, the waiting area benches are all split and broken down. The food was good but much smaller portions that before (which is fine) but the place just needs a good shape-up. read more

Ok people here's the deal, I've been coming to this location for years, the food has always been consistently good, service; impeccable and today was no exception! Our waiter Byron, provided world class service HOWEVER DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, change your method of payment. My friend and I were each wanting to pay for the breakfast tab and after some lighthearted back and forth, She beat me to the punch slipping Byron her credit card on her way to the restroom. Thinking maybe I could one up her, I approached my server asking him if he could kindly run my card instead of hers, This is where it got REAL (ugly)! He TOTALLY lost his mind! Yelling at me and causing a scene shouting " you people need to make up your minds! This is ridiculous etc." I mean so loud that he caught the manager's attention, whom quickly came over to apologize for Byron's tantrum and calmly explained the policy to accept the first card given to the server. I waited for my friend to return to the table and told her what had just transpired. Needless to say, she was mortified! We did however agree to leave him a tip so that he could perhaps BUY himself a clue on how to treat his guests! I was so angry earlier, but have since calmed down enough to halfway articulate my experience with the way I was treated , now it's rather hilarious! SMH! read more

I used to work in east mesa and would frequently meet with friends for lunch at crackers and co. Let me start by saying this was over a year ago, but I never thought to write a review because we always called it "that place where the servers treat you like crap but has great food" That pretty much sums things up, the food is AWESOME (salad are a must and Red Velvet cake will make you touch yourself) getting seated might take 10 minutes, water will take 15 and food probably about 45....maybe things have improved with a horriable economy? Last straw for me was a BIG BLACK CURLY HAIR I pulled out of my cake one afternoon. BAKED IN!!!! It pains me to even think of it still. Patronize at your own risk! read more

Today I was looking for someplace new to try and I ran across Cracker & Co. I looked at the on-line menu and liked what I read so off I went. Given that I live in East Mesa, the location on Greenfield Rd was the best choice. Upon arrival we had about a ten minute wait which isn't too bad for high season on a Saturday morning after 9AM. The waiting area is really small so I can see how there would be a lot of outside overflow on a Sunday. The hostess(s) we congenial upon our arrival so there was no issue there. Our server, Tad, was attentive and congenial. The coffee we ordered was good. The coffee is a big issue with me because I feel that if you're cutting corners on the coffee then you're more than likely going to be cutting corners on everything else. I did have a beef with the water. It tasted like tap water, chlorine taste and all. The young man that I believe was the manager assured me that the water was filtered but that doesn't mean jack because there's a lot of different grades of filtering depending on what you're trying to filter out. Bottom line is I tasted something there that shouldn't have been there. For a starter I ordered a scone. The scone is described as "Fresh baked" and "Light and flaky" but I found that not to be the case. It was heavy and more like something that was packaged for resale in a 7-11. I would definitely not say this was a fresh baked scone and was something else. My breakfast meal was the California Eggs Benny. This dish had a good presentation and was well prepared. I ate it with no reservations. Everything seemed to be fresh and tasty. The only reason that I gave 4 stars and not 5 was because of the water taste. My dining companion had no issues with hers so maybe I'm just spoiled rotten by always drinking reverse osmosis water. I even have a dechlorinator on my shower so maybe I'm just sensitized to chlorine smell and taste. Overall, I recommend the place. While my review may be quite different from the reviews that posters previous to me gave, it could be said that the management is reactive to the issues that they noted. By the way, I am in no way connected to this restaurant or any other restaurant. My review are totally independent. read more

Run of the mill "we're open on Sunday and have a huge menu so it's a breakfast" place. Service is usually good (not great - simply because of how large the place is) but the quality of service and food has gone down. If you want to stuff your face full of absurdly organized junk/breakfast food and are too classy for ihop; this is your spot. read more

Super sad...I was waiting for 7 minutes to place a to go order - the hostess said she needed to find someone who could take my order - when the person finally showed up he helped the person behind me who had just walked in for a pick up. Food is good, portions little too big but ok for sharing - too bad manners not so hot at take out stand. The mexican place next door - Salsa Cabana - has great breakfast burritos! Try them! read more

If my sole measure of this place was their ability to scramble an egg, then they would have failed miserably. On the other hand, I've long since learned the ability to properly scramble an egg is a lost art in the restaurant business. Ok, so on the second try I asked for over easy eggs. They cleared the bar on this one. Bacon was thick cut and pretty good albeit a little saltier than I prefer. Fired potatoes were very good. Waffle was good. But after all if waffle house can make a decent waffle I'd expect a place like this could too. Toast was fair at best. I initially thought I had two full pieces of toast but it turned out to be one thicker piece. Toast was over cooked, and as the ability to scramble is becoming a lost art, I'm quickly finding that the ability to butter toast properly is going the same way. Yes...my toast, besides being over cooked, wasn't properly buttered. Coffee was good. Maybe my order shows a decided lack of imagination relative to the total scope of the menu here, but I've long since learned that if you can't properly execute the basics you'll never get the tougher stuff right. I'll give this place another try, but I'm not going above a 3 here. read more

We were actually really excited going into breakfast this morning... we wanted to try a new place aside from our regular and we were slightly disappointed. When you walk in, it has a very cool atmosphere and the decoration and set up is nice. The first thing I noticed was it was all "tables & chairs". There was only one booth in the whole restaurant. We went in me, my husband, our 3 year old and our 9month old. They sat us at a very small table with 4 chairs. Literally the table was so small for our family of four and we couldn't enjoy our meal because we were so squished and crowded. On top of that the food was just OK. The waiter was nice and friendly, but we weren't impressed and we won't be returning... read more

I went here for breakfast this last weekend and after reading the reviews and listening to my friend who had already been here, I was excited to try the breakfast. Let's just say I have had better and was not impressed. Maybe it is this location, or maybe it is that I just expect more for breakfast, but I thought this restaurant was both a waste of tummy space and money! I ordered The Vatican Skillet, which was dry and lacking a lot! It needed sauce, salt, pepper, you name it, it was missing it! Took most of it home and ate it later all fixed up. Will not be returning... read more

I've been back three times since my first visit (and review) and my opinion has actually improved of this restaurant. First, the water. On my first review, I said they serve Mesa tap water. Well, on each visit since, I've had water and it never tasted as funky as that first visit. Perhaps the water filtration system was acting up that initial visit. In my three visits since my original review, I've had the following: Eggs Benny California-syle which is your typical Eggs Benny, but with spinach and bacon instead of ham. It was very good! The portions were huge and I wasn't able to finish it which I was sad about since it was so tasty. Pancakes with granola and fruit. There is actually a special name for this plate, but I can't remember what it was called. Maybe "Healthy Pancakes" or something like that. This was so good, but so filling! I wasn't even able to eat half of the plate. They were very generous with the fruit which I loved because so many places are stingy when it comes to fruit. Drunken Chicken (again) without the bread... this is obviously turning in to my Go-To for Crackers. I love this lunch! This time around I got it with fruit on the side and was thrilled that Crackers uses an assortment of fruit - not just the usual cantaloupe and honeydew. There were berries, grapes, and all kinds of delicious fruit in a large bowl. Delicious! I suppose it is no surprise that I will be going back to Crackers! read more

Went here for brunch on Saturday. All three people with me ordered chicken fried steak and enjoyed their plates. I ordered the healthy heart scramble with normal eggs, a side of fruit, and replaced the toast with sliced avocado. It was good! I appreciated that there was such a variety of vegetables available. Also, the fruit cup was large and filled with cantaloupe, grapes, and strawberries - easily the best fruit cup I've had at any restaurant. My daughter ordered a cinnamon roll and it was HUGE with tons of frosting. We will be back! read more

We were a party of four this morning and looked forward to a family breakfast together. Upon arrival, we were given a 20 minute wait for our table. Completely understandable and pretty standard at most restaurants. So we waited and then we were seated. 20 minutes go by in which not one staff came to take a drink order or even acknowledge that we were there. I watched 4 different waitresses walk around aimlessly and I made eye contact with all of them , tried to get their attention for service. After 25 minutes of no service we left. I would have said something to the hostess but no one was there. I understand when places are busy, but it was unacceptable to be ignored for that long of a time. My family will not be returning to this restaurant which is unfortunate because we come here often. read more

Came here for breakfast to celebrate my sister's birthday. Service was nothing special, in fact they seemed a disinterested. The food was decent but for the price it wasn't anything spectacular. When it came time to pay we were each given our receipts with the total. They have a register at the front desk so I figured we take our receipts to the front since the receipts weren't in a discrete book or anything. The girl at the front said the server usually takes care of payment, even though she wasn't doing anything and was at the register. Okay, so we all hand the server payment with our receipts (no books) and cross our fingers there is no mix-ups. All in all, wouldn't go back while there are so many other places that serve great breakfast with amazing service. read more

This is the best breakfast in town. We usually ask for boxes right away and put half our meal to go. The waiter was so great. He made sure we had a Togo glass of whatever we were drinking to take with us. They don't skimp on calories here but what a way to use them! Yum! read more

Very delicious food. Ordered the carnitas skillet. Monica was our server and was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back!

I was disappointed that they do not have a gluten free menu. The waitress did ask the chef though. I ordered the Farmer's Skillet. It had teeny tiny little bits of what must have been the ham as listed on the menu. Couldn't quite tell. Pretty sure the potatoes are those freeze dried disks like you get in a box of potato au gratin. Eggs were not cooked right. Had to send it back. Environment is nice. Service was friendly and professional. Coffee was watery. One thing I liked was they left the carafe on the table. My sister picked at her biscuits and gravy. She's too polite to say anything, but I could tell she didn't like it. read more
