We had a party of 3. All three of us were happy with our food. I had a southwest eggs Benedict. It was delicious. Definitely will be returning. read more

Been quite awhile since we've been here for breakfast and we've clearly been missing out! I had the Southwest Benedict (chorizo Patty, tomato, Avacado & poached eggs on to of an english muffin with some adobo Hollandaise on top) us some crispy home style potatoes. This was one of the best breakfast I've had ANYWHERE in a long time! My wife had the pumpkin cheesecake pancakes (which she loved), but I thought they were too sweet. Service was good, coffee was good & breakfast came out pretty quickly. It won't be long before we'll be back - I'm already craving the Southwest Benedict again. read more

Great place. Had the carnitas Benedict it was ok. I should of tried the original first. Really good food

Met a friend for our monthly breakfast. We both have eaten here in the past and we decided to go here. Upon arriving at 8:30 and being seated by the greeter We looked at the menu and decided what we wanted. Meanwhile two other persons were seated after us. While we waited to be recognized by the staff their order was taken and put in. Meanwhile after waiting over 20 minutes no order taken and not even being offered anything we decided to walk out and take our business elsewhere. After this experience I will never go to another Crackers restaurant. read more

Working in AZ 12/10/2021 we stumbled upon this place that is almost hidden behind buildings in an industrial type area, glad we found it. Place must be a locals favorite and kept secret. Was about 11am and I was personally ready for breakfast again, as the rest of our group ordered lunch. I did the Meat Lover's Omelet and a Coke Zero, $12.99 and $2.99. Sindy was our server, she was awesome with rocket fast before finished drink refills. Highly suggest and would return. Pros- Sindy the server top notch and awesome! Food was hot and quick out of kitchen. All of us enjoyed the food. Was spotless clean. Seated quickly, even though little busy. Great quality and value for price! Restroom was clean. Cons- None. read more

Love coming here early in the mornings with my mom! It's one of our favorite places to get breakfast if we're up early enough. Everything I've tried has been delicious. It's classic breakfast but some dishes have a their own twist. The potatoes are to die for, as well as their pancakes, which are big enough to share. Prices are standard and fair. The staff is also incredibly nice and knowledgeable. read more

The place was clean, the staff was dismissive of customers but it was hot, fresh and tasted good. It was nice to see the place with patrons and life looking like the old days!! read more

Ok, so was in Mesa from Tucson and my friend and daughter were hungry and I told them just to find something. So they looked online and found Crackers & Co. cafe. I'm going to tell you that from the looks from the outside of the building, I was skeptical at first and then I looked at the menu and liked something they had in my liking Spicy Mexican Skillet. OMG, one of my favorite dishes ever now. Great service as well. read more

Cool little place. Kind of tucked into an industrial park/strip mall thing that's a huge benefit on the weekends because there's plenty of parking. Actually, there's plenty of parking anyway because if you park on the street, it's very close to the front door The people at the front counter are extremely nice and polite. service is fantastic. And the food, just what would you would expect, no surprises good old-fashioned, delicious food I am a breakfast person, so definitely a great place for that. read more

This used to be our "go to" (3 times a month) restaurant for breakfast until recently. Service always has been great, and that hasn't changed. What has changed is the consistency of the food coming to the table. Breakfast on Sunday was disappointing! My French toast was mushy in the center and my eggs, ordered over medium, had slimy, uncooked whites. My bacon, served on a separate plate, was way over cooked and cold. My husband ordered the Chicken Fired steak. He said it tasted packaged, and didn't have the regular handmade coating. The gravy was tasteless (flour & water with salt). We planned on sending it back, but we waited 20 minutes for it and had an appointment we needed to get too. read more

Great fresh breakfast with friendly service. Had an omelet and a skillet which were both tasty and very filling.

Came here while on our trip back to Cali. Found it on yelp and decided to try it out. The wait was very short. I ordered the bloody mary. Not AS good as I would have liked it to be but pretty tasty. The food was amazeballs tho. I ordered huevos ranchero woth pork. It was very filling. Didnt finish it all. My kids ordered from the kids menu and they were full from their portions. Will def come back again when in the area. read more

This place was excellent. We came here on a weekday early-afternoon when it wasn't that busy (although, I imagine this place gets packed on weekends!) and we were immediately greeted by the hostess. We were sat within a couple minutes, and from there, greeted by our server (didn't catch her name). The overall atmosphere and feel of the restaurant was warm and welcoming (think, Cracker Barrel, but nicer). We both got water and orange juice to drink, and I ended up ordering the farmer's skillet, while my husband ordered the blueberry pancakes. Both were very good. Food was cooked well and tasted very good! I was definitely a fan. When we asked for our check, our server promptly brought it to us, along with a box for my leftovers. Overall, very good food and service! The one and only critique I have is the location- it was a little hard to find and not exactly in an ideal place where you would find a breakfast/brunch restaurant. Besides that, 10/10 would recommend for brunch! read more

Being a foodie, I love visiting different places to eat when traveling. I won't return to a restaurant for a number of reasons. Customer service is one of them, which is utmost to me. It should be the top prior to the restaurant's. As it is very pricey to eat out. This time, customer service was not good. I ordered breakfast online for curbside pickup. Arrived on time for my pickup time 10:40. The app wasn't working, for me to check in, so I immediately, 10:41 go inside the restaurant where I first spoke with the hostess and told them I'm here to pick up a online curbside order, app not working, they quickly, oh check on the to go rack to the left, I walk over there nothing. It shouldn't be on a rack as it's a CURBSIDE order. Remind you I walked past the cashier who didn't acknowledge me as we did make eye contact. So I walked up to her, and I again told her the app wasn't working for me to checked in for my curbside order. She said, sorry about that. What's the name, let me check. Let remind you that the place was NOT busy at all, Okay, but she NEVER left the cashier counter, I assume she checked on the computer. I walked around, picked up a few items to purchase, 20 mins later, purchased the items, again asked can you checked on my order, as it should have been done already. She was like, oh um it'll be out shortly. Not checking nothing! again, she didn't leave the counter. Feeling brushed off by the staff of the establishment. Pissed now, I tried the app again as im walking out, and finally, it works. I checked in, and food comes right out, 5 mins later,11:05, but by this time, it is 25 mins later, after i arrive, and my food IS COLD!!!!! For the price, service, flavor and presentation of the food should have been excellent! Not even close in no terms..... That peach cobbler serving, insult, the worst serving size versus the price you pay...smh...so disappointing... I want a full refund. read more

Food was perfect as always! Service was very good as well. Very timely on getting our food to the table ! We enjoyed every bite! Love CRACKERS! read more

Found this place last minute after a morning horseback ride. Huevos rancheros we're the best I've ever had! Generous portions, could have shared! read more

This amazing place is small and out of the main flow of traffic. I normally go for the chicken fried steak, but this time, I decided to get the Eggs Benedict, and I have to say it was amazing. The waitress was awesome and had amazing service during a busy time of the morning. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great meal. read more

Amazing food and lovely staff. The waiter named Isa was incredibly nice, patient and sharp. Again, the food was amazing and they have a great menu. read more

My husband and I stopped in for an impromptu breakfast this morning after I got off work. Immediately upon entering the cafe', I was greeted by a friendly hostess whom politely asked me for my name and explained it would be a 15-20 minute wait. My husband and I took a seat near the hostess station. It wasn't long before we were called. We were seated in the back at a nice table where we were handed menus and our waitress introduced herself to us. She was friendly and has the same name as our daughter--Rachel. She took our drink order and brought our coffee, cream, sugar with cold water right out to us quickly. We perused their delightful menu for both breakfast and lunch. They serve breakfast all day until they close at 2:30 pm and they serve lunch beginning at 10:30 am. We chose Belgium waffles. I ordered only the Belgium Waffle and my husband ordered the Belgium Waffle breakfast that comes with a choice of sausage or bacon and two eggs prepared anyway. We waited about 15 to 20 minutes for our food as it was busy. The wait was worth it! The Belgium waffles were thick and hearty. The syrup was yummy. The butter on top was really good. Everything was delicious and melt in your mouth goodness. We definitely will return in the near future. read more

This place was packed as expected on Sunday for brunch. Sat on the covered patio as the weather permitted us to do so. The waiter took our drink order and forgot about my drink all together. He brought it as soon as I reminded him. We both ordered carnitas dishes, and the person that brought the dishes to the table spilled salsa all over my girlfriends dress and hair. He didn't even acknowledge what he did, just said he would bring back some more salsa after he picked it up from the ground. I was helping her clean up when the waiter stopped by the table to see how the food was when I told him about the unpleasant experience. Some older ladies next to us even vouched for us after seeing the situation unfold. The waiter indicated he would notify his management team about the situation and was embarrassed about how the situation was handled. After finishing the food that was really good, he brought the check to the table and was able to accommodate us for the unpleasant experience. read more

I wanted to give them 4 stars, but just can't. I hadn't been here for several years and was impressed with the new seating arrangement and openness of the dining area. Employees were very nice and attentive throughout the breakfast. Now, on to the food and this is why I only gave them 3 stars. The food was delicious, but there is obvious corner cutting in it's delivery which always bugs me. I ordered the chicken fried steak which I've had all over the country over the years. Their's is more of a breaded standard hamburger patty. It was good, just ridiculously small. The sausage gravy was limited to about 2 tablespoons worth with very little sausage in it. The potatoes were outstanding. They were crispy and delicious. The eggs were a perfect over easy. But the toast was just one piece of toast cut diagonally. I have never been out to breakfast anywhere that they only give you one piece of toast when you're ordering 2 eggs and chicken fried steak with gravy. This is being cheap. It's cutting corners to save money. What I really noticed was that they have no jelly for that toast unless you request it. They removed all the jelly stands with the jelly packets from all of their tables. Another cost cutting maneuver. The food is good, the service is great, but the owner is an obvious tight wad. It's sort of a waste of talent when the cook does a good job and the servers are all friendly and attentive. Raise the price a buck and throw in a second slice of toast and put the damn jelly back! read more

Finally took a stop into Crackers on a Saturday morning and I was so impressed! The location definitely was a bit different than I expected (kind of in an industrial area with a lot of businesses around) but the inside was perfectly home-like and had a lot of seating! It was really busy when we went (around 9:45) and luckily only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. I ended up ordering the biscuits and gravy with the chicken fried steak and it was amazing! The biscuits were so fluffy and were loaded with a lot of gravy that was really good. The fried chicken was really good with a very flaky breading that was really good when mixed with the gravy. My favorite part of the dish was potatoes because they were perfectly cooked and seasoned with a lot of rosemary which made it amazing! The menu has so many great options and I cannot wait to go back. read more

Been a couple times with my family. Nice staff and good food. Clean environment. I recommend.

This place has been here forever, like since the 80s, and it's tucked away off of Country Club and the US 60. You wouldn't expect much from an obscurely located restaurant, but Crackers and Co is a hidden gem! The cons: It is packed on the weekend and the place is in dire need of some interior updating (the tables are wobbly and seating is a bit claustrophobic). Did I mention it's been around for 30ish years? You sort of have second thoughts about your food choice, like is all this chaos worth it? The answer is yes. Heck yes. 5 stars just for the food! The food is amazing. The portion sizes are hearty. I love their scrambled eggs and bacon. And for the record, don't count calories when you're here because this is home style cooking, everything has flavor and you will leave stuffed and satisfied. The Soutgwest pork carnitas breakfast is one of my favorites. Service is friendly and quick. The prices are second to none in relation to food quantity and quality. They also do catering! read more

Came in for the first time after seeing the reviews. Unfortunately it was not that great of an experience. our server name was Chris not very friendly wasn't rude either but really never checked up on us. I had to ask for a refill on my coffee and he did not offer my wife a refill just walked away that was the only time he checked up on us. Since this was our first time I really like chicken fried steak so I asked him if it was good he said yeah it was great. After receiving my plate unfortunately the chicken fried steak wasn't crispy and The breading was soggy. The gravy was good so were the potatoes. Since he never came around to check up on us my son joined us for breakfast I had to ask the hostess for help. I don't believe I will ever return to this location for breakfast neither the service nor the food was worth it. read more

Ya know....we've been to Crackers before.....a few times and was always pleased with the food and service. My husband and I went back last week after having not been there for several years. I ordered a hot pumpkin Latte. It tasted weird and was only lukewarm. I also ordered the parfait and a pumpkin muffin. The parfait was fine, but the muffin tasted off. I didn't complain, as I'm not a complainer, but I probably won't venture back there. My husband and I both agreed that the place seemed tired and in need of a refresh. Sad, because it used to be such a wonderful place. read more

Very friendly staff and large menu full of scrumptious options to choose from! Looking forward to going back again soon and would definitely recommended to anyone! read more
