Always a great breakfast choice! The staff has always taken good care of me and those I bring in. The food always has come out fresh and hot. They have great basics and awesome Omelettes! I think it's the California omelette I get? It's really really good! read more

Wanted to try this restaurant since I live in the neighborhood and lots of friends love this place. I remembered that there was outdoor dining in a beautiful December day and decided to finally try. So disappointed! The hostess said the owner had requested the patio be closed. With the resurgence of covid, rampant flu and RSV I cannot risk bring any of these virus home to my 92-year old mom or my 6-month old granddaughter. read more

Awesome food and great service! My mom goes here each week and loves it.... I'm glad she took me!

My go-to breakfast spot. Decent coffee, kitchen cranks out the food quickly, plenty of options and a rotating seasonal menu for some variety. Never had a bad meal here! read more

Muy delicioso. I have traveled a lot and thisplace reach my top 5 best places to eat.

If you haven't tried the cinnamon roll pancakes yet, you're definitely missing out! We've been here several mornings the past two months and haven't been disappointed. Service is great and food is even better. First time we came we were surprised they didn't have hash browns but their breakfast potatoes will beat hash browns any day :) read more

Came here for breakfast and now I want to stay for lunch. I ordered the biscuit with country fried steak, delicious. Next time I come to Arizona I will definitely come back. read more

Excellent breakfast! The best pancakes around. Great atmosphere and wonderful staff. We visit the area a few times a year and will definitely be back here for breakfast. read more

First time eating at this place and I was very pleased. There was a little hiccup but the waiter was quick to correct it. My ordered didn't come out with my brother's ordered and I just kept waiting thinking it would be coming soon but nothing. Our waiter came by to check on us and realized I hadn't got my food, he apologized told me my plate was on them and we wouldn't be charged. My plate was delivered mins later. I ordered the California eggs Benedict with potatoes and they were both amazingly good. If you enjoy Eggs Benedict this is definitely a must try. It's a change up from the typical eggs Benedict with a perfect combo of bacon, tomato, spinach and avocado. The potatoes are definitely on point too! Can't wait to go back and try other things on their menu. read more

Had a tasty Sunday brunch with my daughter here! They had a good selection of items for children and adults and they also had nice coffee options, like lattes, mochas, and cappuccinos. We will definitely be back again! read more

In exchange for watching our little one, my in-laws proposed that we meet up at Crackers & Co to make the switch. A new breakfast place AND we get a date day? I'm game! When we first arrived, I was a little skeptical. The Cafe is located in a little strip mall behind the Home Depot, right next to a cabinet place. But, I'm learning to be adventurous, so I decided to not judge this place by its surroundings. Wise decision! We showed up during what I thought would be prime brunch time on a Sunday morning. Surprisingly, there was absolutely no wait. We were ushered to our table by the hostess, where we were greeted by, arguably, the most cheerful, interactive, and helpful waitress I've ever encountered. Thank you, Luana. We looked over the menu for a few minutes, it didn't really take us long to figure out what we wanted. My daughter got the kids pancakes, and my wife and I each ordered the Healthy Scram. For the so called "kids" portion of pancakes, my daughter received three full grown pancakes. Of course, she couldn't finish them. If she had, I imagine she would have been in a coma for the next two days. As for my wife's and my meal...absolutely delicious. We each opted to have two extra egg whites scrambled in with our orders. Essentially, it ends up being an oversized egg white omelette. Couple that with a cup of fresh fruit and a dry English muffin, and you've got yourself an amazingly healthy and filling breakfast/brunch/dinner... whenever you decide to eat it, I assure you, it will be delicious. The three of us ended up spending about $40 for our meals. The price is a little bit inflated, though, as it does cost $1.00 extra per egg white added to our omelettes. But, whatever. you pay for what you get...and we got an awesome meal! If you're looking for a cozy breakfast place with a great menu with healthy options, awesome atmosphere, a patio, and (in our case), the greatest service we've experienced in QUITE some time, then you should definitely stop by! read more

I love this place. Best French toast and the crepes are good too. Wish they were open later as I love breakfast foods in the afternoon, but a great breakfast place! My husband thinks it's too "girly" and decorative, but does like the food. read more

Okay, I'm tired of looking at this on the front page. Every time I see those delicious looking pancakes cluttering up my page, I want to slather them with butter as if I'm rubbing lotion on a similarly brown beach babe. Yes! With my hands! I seriously am infatuated with this place. I've only been 3 or 4 times, but whenever we make plans to go, I get so excited. That being said let me get specific. The pancakes are good, the eggs (over-easy) are good, and the toast sopping up my running egg yokes are good. The breakfast potatoes are good, the fruit cup is good, and hell... my coffee is even good. Oh did I say good? I meant Great! The service is top notch and they will make pretty much whatever you want (if they have the ingredients and know-how). Plus, where else can you go to eat breakfast with rooster statues staring at you? Located behind the Home Depot on Country Club/Baseline, this is a hidden secret of the Mesaonians... read more

This is one of my all time favorite places to eat. It's like a much better version of Denny's or I-HOP but classier. I've been coming here for over 20 yrs and it's consistently great. Love the salads, anything breakfast, burgers, sandwiches. It's all good. I've hosted some showers here. The food is great, desserts are huge and yummy, soups awesome. The location of this place is a bit strange in some little strip mall behind Home Depot, but it works for them. Many people have been going here for many, many years. They have friendly service and I always leave a big tip. read more

This place is enforcing COVID-19 restrictions very well; and the place is clean as a whistle. In addition, their food is fantastic and FRESH. The omelettes are not rubbery; the fruit is fresh-sliced; and the prices are reasonable. Great place for a Sunday brunch, or even a weeknight special treat! read more

The day after Thanksgiving it was a pleasant surprise to find such a delightful breakfast joint. It wasn't crowded and the food and service were both stellar. My only criticism was that we were seated in the back room where it was rather loud and difficult to hear one another talk. But the food was hot and delicious, well-seasoned and plentiful portions. The menu was diverse as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant as a solid breakfast/brunch destination. read more

I went there for breakfast for lunch and it was pretty tasty. I got the chicken fried steak and the gravy was amazing. The portions were big. Overall a great meal! read more

What an enjoyable meal! The Greek omelet was delicious and so was the Beggars omelet. Fresh coffee and excellent service made our visit enjoyable. Brian was our server and he was friendly and enhanced an already good meal. We will definitely be back and hope to sit in Brian's section!! read more

Crackers and Co. is always a treat. Like other users have mentioned the California Eggs benedict is absolutely awesome. Also like other users said, parking can sometimes be a pain. The location in South Tempe usually has less people, but as with any breakfast place if you go between 7-10 AM expect a bit of a wait. The employees here usually outshine the food, especially so at the Mesa location. A gentle old lady let us pore over the menu for 10 minutes before putting in our order. The food was out of the kitchen quickly (despite the full house) which is a huge positive in my book. I hate lingering around restaurants at their busiest times. The last good thing I'll mention about Crackers & Co. is the low price of the food. Guaranteed to stop your brain from leaking out of your ears after a night of heavy drinking. read more

Wow, what a letdown. To start, service was not very good. Nobody seemed to be in charge. Waiter was not attentive. I ordered Granola Healthcakes With Blueberries And Strawberries. My gosh, could you be a little stingier with the fruit? They sprinkled the tiniest handful of fruit on top, so little that there wasn't nearly enough for a little fruit in every bite. More of a suggestion of fruit than fruit itself. The granola is obviously not made in house - it's very industrial - uniform, uniformly tasteless nuggets. The menu says pancakes are served with "maple syrup and honey butter." Not so! Maple syrup isn't even available! It's just "pancake syrup." Ewww. I suspect the "honey butter" likewise isn't real butter but probably margarine. Ewww. Breakfast potatoes, allegedly made from fresh, were just okay. Definitely will NOT return! read more

I went here last sunday and will make this brief since everyone's covered so much of it before. And my opinion seems to be a square peg. Decorated kind of a cross between cute midwestern farmhouse and currently-popular Tuscany theme. That said, I liked the wallpaper where we were sitting and the lighting fixtures. Not to dwell on the decor but the food simply wasn't that good for me. I was initially interested by the crabmeat Eggs Benedict but when it came it tasted just like fish, not crab and it was short on hollandaise. Overall it was average except in the price - the final bill for 2 breakfasts (even "fancy" ones) and coffee came to about $25, which seems like a lot to pay. Ok, way too much for breakfast. The coffee (unlike a lot of other places) was relatively good and we were seated asap - a plus but I just don't see going back. read more

Wow. I have never been blown away by breakfast as I was here. Never. Simple. Hearty. Filling. Good price. What more can I ask for? I ordered (can't remember the name...my bad) a croissant with eggs, cheese and bacon in it which came with a side of fresh fruit. I was greeeeedy heffa and ordered a side of their homestyle potatoes/fries. OMG they were so good and a little different from what I've normally been served...they were buttery, creamy and tasted of dill or a different type of season one doesn't usually experience. The potatoes were soft and crunch at the SAME TIME~ I know, I'm so easy to please...but it was so worth it. Hubby ordered the Three Musketeers and he was suitably impressed as well...he cleared everything off on his plate and looked so happy. After an early start of hitting the mall (to get his computer fixed) and then me dragging him around Home Depot (lights needed to be replaced), this was such a lovely way to get in a late breakfast at 11am. I'll definitely be back to try their other items on the menu - it all looks so wonderful. read more

Crackers and co was so good .this was my first time having biscuits and gravy and my fiance said I was lucky because this was the best he's ever had. The biscuit was so fluffy and the dish was to die for. I'm so happy I found this place its like a hidden gem in a business park. Everything was cooked perfectly, seasonsed perfectly. The staff was extremely welcoming and nice. Really good vibes. I thought it was very affordable as well .I will definitely be coming back for lunch and there deserts looks great read more

I ordered the oatmeal with strawberries and blueberries. The oatmeal seemed fresh, and not too soggy like most restaurants. The fruit was fresh cut, which I appreciated. I'm a huge orange juice fanatic and theirs is far from fresh and definitely tasted like it was from concentrate. Boo The waitress was efficient, but not overly friendly. If they step up their orange juice game I will return. read more

Pretty good place for breakfast! I only wish there was an option to get a side of pancakes that wasn't so expensive with my main meal. They also have GF options which is nice too. read more

Employees seem a little snooty unless you are a regular. Had a party of 7 and business was dying down so they just had to clean off tables and that took little over 10 minutes, but no biggie. The server took a while to come greet us, but came back with our drinks in a reasonable amount of time and tried to take our order but had to come back to get the rest. She refilled our drinks once and checked on us once. We asked for butter and she said she would bring but almost 8 minutes later we had to ask a bussed for it. When she was clearing plates she asked if I was finished with mine and when I replied no, she tried to take my plate anyway. You would think a server would offer the bill or anything else when everyone is just sitting around but no. We had to ask. So we just got our bill and we weren't aware that gratutity is apparently included so that is why the service sucked. Never coming back again. Food was decent hut not worth the service! read more

Superb breakfast. Best French toast I've had in some time- perfectly made and delicious. They have good southwestern breakfasts too, like the Spicy Mexican skillet and pork carnitas skillet. Will definitely be coming here again when I'm looking for a good place to eat breakfast. read more

Crackers has been a long term staple for me, held over from my days as a Mesa resident. You just can't go wrong here. Offering breakfast and lunch, everything on the menu sounds delicious and everything i've had was even better. I'd love to be able to say that i've tried everything, but let's be real here- it's a big menu. Crackers offers an average of six different soup selections every day, with one or two daily specials. Same with dessert- daily selections may vary. Both are homemade- no boxes or cans here- and they taste like the best thing your mom ever made for you, only maybe a little better. (assuming your mother was a good cook) The breakfast offerings are hearty and full of flavor, the lunch offerings run the gamut from light snack to full blown food coma material. Great stuff. Like Meredith said, the decor isn't anything special- it hasn't changed much in the 15 years or so since I first ate here. I think they're going for homey country charm. It doesn't matter though- this isn't a place to go for ambiance, unless you're a reclusive Mormon housewife. Crackers has two other locations- one out in east Mesa and one in Tempe. I haven't been to either of those, but this one is definitely a winner. read more

This place is usually pretty busy during breakfast on the weekends but we went for a Friday brunch and had no problems being seated immediately. Great service and delicious breakfast. Skillets are yummy. This time I got the Crab Cake Benedict. Large portion and so tasty. Would recommend! read more

Crackers & Co. Cafe - Oops an egg slid to the side. Lol. Still delish! - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We eat here a couple times each month, and have never been disappointed in the food or the service. Crackers has a very impressive breakfast and lunch menu, and they also have additional "specials" each month in addition to their normal menu. Service is prompt and attentive, and the food is well prepared. For coffee drinkers, it's nice that they bring you your own carafe so that you can refill your own cup as needed. They do get busy on the weekend, so you can expect a moderate wait time on those peak weekend brunch hours. But then again, that is to be expected at a good restaurant, right? read more

Crackers & Co. Cafe - Cherry Blintz - Breakfast special for February - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Crackers and Co. is a great breakfast and lunch restaurant. The food is always delicious with a good variety. I have been here many times and will eat here again. The atmosphere is way cool and the desserts - oh my! You have to know to look behind the Home Depot on Iron Ave but it is so worth it! The staff is always welcoming. They have some outdoor seating which is nice when the weather is cooler. Go have a good breakfast and/or lunch here! read more

Just tried this place for the first time for a girls luncheon. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and quaint surroundings. It was packed when we arrived, but we had a reservation (highly recommend this). We stayed well past closing, and they were very polite and did not attempt to kick us out. Service was excellent, our waiter was patient with the 2 high protein, 1 full on vegetarian, and one new mommy. We probably had one no dieter in the whole group, so our order was complex, and the waiter just went with it. Plus he was very entertaining. Always back to the table to top off drinks etc. Food is large quantities for what you pay for, very fresh and delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable outing!!! read more

I was in Mesa for the tough mudder and we stayed 4 days and our party of 4 was upset we didn't find this place till the day we were leaving. The food here is amazing I got the Greek omelette with a side of French toast. The omelette was by far the best omelette I've had the hash browns were so good I contemplated buying another side of them the French toast was perfect! I could easily talk about the food over and over. We all loved our food and the service was great drinks always full and never Waited long for anything at all our servers name was Chris and he was the best server we had out of all the places we ate at during our stay. If your in the area YOU NEED TO EAT HERE!!!!! read more

Had a great breakfast here the other day. This place has to be one of the best hidden gems of the area, and that I've ever been to anywhere. It's randomly tucked behind a Home Depot, next to the holiday inn we are staying at here for spring training. Service was great, from the front desk to our server whose name I didn't quite catch... I think it was Murphy? But she was great. Attentive, talkative, and suggested a good burger spot as well we went to that night for dinner. I had the country fried steak with a biscuit and gravy. It was incredible. Everything tasted completely made from scratch, and of all things that biscuit was a huge stand out point of the meal. It was flaky and buttery and stood up to being topped with the steak and smothered in gravy without getting soggy. It was a generous enough portion to fill me up without feeling like I just shoveled a boat load of grease into my body. My wife had a parfait that was basic but still good by all means. I wish I had room to try their bread pudding or soups which seem to be a specialty here. My wife and I are here with our son who is a year and a half old and can be difficult in restaurants but we felt very comfortable here. It feels like your grandma turned her entire house into a restaurant. We got out of here for breakfast for 2 with coffee and a bowl of fruit for under $30. That's insane based on the quality and service. If I lived here this would definitely be a regular place to visit, and if you're in the area and haven't been you are seriously missing out. I work in the restaurant business and don't normally post yelp reviews but this place was definitely a stand out that you don't come by often. We'll be back before we leave town. read more

If you love French toast and cinnamon rolls, then you MUST try C&CC's Cinnamon French toast. Be sure to have all your life affairs in order, bec. once you've finished your plate, you'll be happy enough to leave this Earth and on your way to a higher state of existence :) The carrot cake and blackberry bread pudding are pretty heavenly, too. The ambience is so cozy. Victorian and country-cottage all at once. So adorable. A great place to take visiting relatives and friends to, serving up great food and a welcoming atmosphere. Check out their menus online... breakfast and lunch specials change daily. read more

I have eaten at Crackers hundreds of times and it is always really really good, but they have a new special item that is hands down AMAZING!!!!! Not sure of the correct name but it is a Southwest Pork Carnitas breakfast Nachos. Pork carnitas, jack cheese, tomatillo salsa, layered on top of freshly made tortilla chips then 2 eggs on top, which I had poached. It was served with their country potatoes, which are always wonderful. Whomever invented these breakfast nachos needs a raise!!! AMAZING doesn't even give this special breakfast item justice. The flavors were superb and who knew nachos for breakfast would be soooo good. I hope it is made a regular item. We all know how BBQ nachos have done at other restaurants. They sell out where ever they are served. Well done to the inventor of the Pork Carnitas Breakfast Nachos at Crackers & Co!!!! And a big shout out to our server yesterday, Ty!!! He always has a smile, he keeps the drinks coming, and is always super friendly and professional. And another shout out to the manager David Q. David runs a very clean restaurant, is always roaming the restaurant greeting customers and I have watched him be very kind to his staff, which wins big points in my book!!! Happy staff makes Crackers & Co always a joy to dine at. FYI: the bread pudding of any flavor is one of the best bread puddings I have ever tasted all over the country. And yes, I am a Foodie!!!! read more

Stopped by Mesa Arizona for a concert and stopped in for bfast. Absolutely delicious breakfast. The chili and cheese hashbrowns with egg were amazing. Finally a breakfast item that made me say wow. So glad we braved the heat to drive over here for a quick stops. Well worth it and one of the few places that live up to their Yelp hype. read more

Crackers & Co. Cafe - Chili cheese hashbrowns with egg and sour cream. Fantastic - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

A local chain restaurant. Good for breakfast and lunches Nothing spectacular or new but fast service, good American style breakfast food and lunches. Definitely a hit with the after church crowd on Sundays. May be a bit of a wait. We went a little earlier around 830 am on a Sunday and got seated right away. I appreciate their waitstaff. They all took turns either running out food or covering each other's tables. Everyone had a smile on their face and were happy to take care of their customers. Definitely go here again.:) read more

Crackers & Co is a 4.5 only if we're on a 10-point scale. I went with a party of four and we were all very underwhelmed with the slop served here. Maybe we went on a bad day, but our disappointment went as far as the quality of the ingredients, which isn't something that typically varies on a day-to-day basis. Now, TC Eggington's is a decent breakfast spot. I can go there and count on a nicely prepared eggs benedict dish every time. Crackers is not the type of place that would be capable of making a decent Hollandaise or even poaching an egg properly. I wouldn't be quite so hard on this place if their rating wasn't so outrageous. I want to help others avoid going here with high hopes of an outstanding breakfast and come away with a belly full of unmemorable food. What has happened to our standards for a good traditional American breakfast? read more

Great place for breakfast! I ate this skillet that was pretty hearty with bacon, sausage, and ham. The potatos were really crispy and top it off with the eggs, you got yourself a great breakfast! My girlfriend got the eggs Benedict which was really tasty! That was there special so I'd recommend that if you go there. Both dishes were really tasty and you can tell the quality of food is great! Its not a Dennys or Carrows thats for sure, this is a nice mom and pop type of restaurant that makes really good quality of food. If your in the area do stop by because you wont regret it. The portions were really great and thats always a plus for me! But someone ordered french toast by me which also looked great also! It looks like they have a lot of different things to eat that I bet will taste good! Check it out you wont regret it! read more
