I'm here every week for a business breakfast, I've had just about everything on the breakfast menu and it's consistantly good. Great sevice, Kim is wonderful. read more

Crackers & Co. Cafe - Special this month, pork carnitas omelet. Changed it up because I like raisin toast more than tortillas. - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Brand new item hit the menu yesterday, a Bandito Burrito -- chorizo, ham, sausage, onions, New Mexico Green Chili and jack cheese. Too tempting not to try and it was definitely worth it. The spicy kick was there but not overwhelming. Wasn't excited about the cilantro tomato sauce as on the menu so opted for the tomatillo sauce, which was good but not exciting, another alternative should be researched that would blend. The house made salsa on the other hand was excellent. The restaurant was well occupied for a Sunday morning. A bit cool in temperature so a jacket or sweater may be in order for some. There is enough room between tables so conversations aren't battling. read more

We've had Bryan as a server a few times and he is always so great! So nice and very attentive! Also this place has the best French toast ever. read more

Went at about 2:15pm on Sunday and didn't know if it was too late to be seated. There was only one other couple in the place and when we checked in the hostess disappeared saying "hold on" but never came back. Someone else seated us but there looked to be a bunch of discussion in the kitchen, to the point it made us feel like we were imposing, so we got up to leave. The waiter followed us and genuinely wanted to take care of us, assuring us it was no imposition at all, so we stayed. Had the French toast, which was on really thick bread and was absolutely delicious. Tried a pancake but it was still doughy, which our waiter caught and apologized for, and instead of holding them up any longer, I opted for the dessert he offered on the house. The cinnamon roll was also yummy. The skillet with chorizo and carnitas was very flavorful. I love that you can order a pancake, a slice of French toast, potatoes and lots of other stuff a la carte. Prices were very reasonable, too - ended up a lot cheaper than our usual brunch at First Watch. A+ on customer service. We felt really welcomed and taken care of. It's a hike from the west valley, but the next time we have a tournament over there, it'll be our first stop. Thank you!! read more

God, I love Cracker and Co. Coma-inducing sumptuousness. On those rare occasions that I order something other than a skillet breakfast, I am always rewarded - I've never had anything that wasn't tasty and cooked with apparent love. This is some seriously delicious food. My only complaint is that their hours are too short. read more

Great place. Awesome menu whether you want eggs, omelettes, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, crepes or my favorite huevos rancheros, you will not be disappointed. Something for everyone in a nice but casual environment. Yum! read more

Very horrible customer service. Our waitress was very rude and treated other people better. We've enjoyed this place so much but it's not like it was before. The workers seem unhappy and don't look like they want to work. Never coming back read more

One of the top 3 breakfast places. Great atmosphere and staff. The omelette are delicious and have lots of vegetarian options. Good value for the whole family to eat read more

I would have never known that this place even existed if i wasn't invited out to breakfast this morning after my grueling (but so awesome) bike ride this morning. It isn't the easiest place to find if you aren't looking for it. Service was great...everybody was so helpful and friendly. (My cousin asked for her eggs a certain way and they came out watery...and were so pleasant to deal with when she needed them to take it back.) I loved the decor of the restaurant; I thought it was very cute. The menu was so diverse, I didn't know what to get. (I was tempted to get the chocolate chip pancakes that were only offered on the kiddie menu...but I knew better...) I ended up getting the Spinach and Mushroom omelette that was also filled with cheese and bacon. (I got it minus onions...yuck! I am thinking about opening an onionless cafe...) It was the first time I didn't have to put ketchup on my eggs. They were that good. The potatoes were awesome. I also opted for pancakes instead of toast...and that was the only thing that I was disappointed in. (Sorry Sarah G...) They were hard! A little too well done for my taste. But I won't hold it against them. I will definitely be back to try more breakfast and their yummy sounding desserts. read more

Over the last few months, through countless meals of eggs and bacon, sausage and pancakes, juice and coffee, I have become an expert judge of breakfasts... Please take this into account as you weigh my review. THIS IS THE BEST BREAKFAST IN THE PHOENIX AREA. I had the granola healthcakes -- they weren't very healthy but they were good and worth every single calorie! The bfast skillets all looked delicious, as did the California Eggs Benny. read more

I love breakfast and after a night of catching up with old friends and staying up way too late, we ventured over to Crackers. We were seated fairly quickly and the service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere is cafeteria-like with outdated decor. However, the menu has all of the regular breakfast offerings and then some. I went with the Farmer's skillet and it was great. My only complaint is that the potatoes were not crispy enough for my liking, but all in all, the flavors were good and it hit the spot. Next time, I think I will go with the Vatican, which got good reviews from one dining companion. The only real negative was that the tortilla that came with the huevos rancheros was a little hard. All in all, this is a good breakfast stop for the basics in a secluded strip mall behind the Home Depot. read more

This place is incredible. It's one of those places you would never know was there unless you knew it was there. They have an enormous menu, although I've only been there at lunch time. I always get the Greek Salad, and it soooooooooooooo rocks! You just won't be disappointed if you eat here! read more

Great food at reasonable prices in a good atmosphere. Our family has been regulars for over seven years at the W. Iron location. The food is fantastic, you can't beat it for breakfast and the lunch sandwiches are great. We've noticed a big difference in the staff since managment changed. Many of the new servers are not as attentive as they should be but the long time servers never disappoint. If you go on the weekend prepare to wait, sometimes up to an hour. On Sunday if you arrive before 9:30 the wait isn't that long. read more

Eggs Benedict the best love the garlic breakfast potatoes. . Staff friendly and helpful They serve breakfast and lunch read more

Love this spot. My favorite item to order is the traditional eggs benedict. Seriously by far the best I have had. Pancakes and french toast is also fantastic. Everything else I have no clue because I consistantly order the benedict! read more

The first time we ate there the food was good. Since then, we have ordered take out twice. The first time they messed up our order which I can understand things happen. The second time was today when I ordered an omelette. I opened my box to find a slice of pepper Jack cheese placed on top of my omelette... not melted inside. The side of bacon was also over cooked. Overall, it left a lot to be desired. read more

Food was as good as usual. Crackers still produces a quality product. There soups are devine and my wife really enjoys the French Chick sandwich. Veronica and Steve have a quality kitchen. The service was certainly not what it used to be. The staff sat at a table right next to us and chatted about all sorts of things while cleaning menus. Not very professional even though the manager was right there joining in on the conversation with them. Our waitress was not very attentive at all. We seemed like we were a little bit o an imposition to her. I will definitely not go back to the original any more and will stick to their restaurant on Greenfield. I recommend you do the same and avoid the one by the Home Depot. read more

You would think at 11:30 am on a Sunday they would be on their game? Well today they were not had 3 tables out on the patio empty and we told them we would sit on the patio. They said it would be 10 -15 minutes, after 20 minutes those same 3 table were empty, we went inside and told them again that we are willing to sit in one of those 3 empty tables, the manager in a red shirt said they rotate servers on the patio?? We were called 5 minutes later and sat inside??? We had 2 bowls of soup and blackberry bread pudding. We ordered everything at once food came we ate and left 15 minutes later, still 2 tables empty on the patio??? They have 4-5 employees standing at the register talking? They need someone to take charge!!!!!! read more

The food is really awesome. I really enjoyed the California Egg Benedict and my husband had the pumpkin pancake special. Both were delicious. But our server did take a little bit of time to get to us and the place wasn't super busy so it was unnecessary to wait over 7min for water with a lemon. We ordered Lattes off of their Espresso Menu and we were extremely disappointed on the flavor, the size, and the price. The value is just not there for their espresso. It's better to go to Starbucks and order coffee from there than here. read more

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

Was looking for a good place to take my Wife and three of our Daughter's for breakfast that was something different than the normal IHOP run on a late Sunday morning. We were around the ASU Tempe campus picking up one of the three Yelp surfing for spots when Tennille (My Wife) suggested going to "Crackers" off of Country Club. My first thought was this is going out of our way and second was the implicit thoughts confusing Cracker & Co with Cracker Barrel. The location gives this hole in the wall status as it is not on the immediate mainstreet but in an office strip just behind Country Club. The service was fast friendly and efficient. We were a party of five seated less than five minutes after arriving. The food was so simple but at the same tme amazingly fresh and cooked. I had the steak and eggs with fruit, potatoes and a side of pancakes. They eggs (over easy) were perfectly cooked as was the steak and the potatoes were triangular cuts that were not greasy, had the right amount of crunch and softness. But let me say the pancakes were what got the fifth star because they were thick enough, light enough, not doughy and had a buttermilk taste that makes you wanna slap your Mamma! No one talked at the table for about six minutes because we were all enjoying the food. Put it this way, my bill was $81 dollars, I left a 25% tip because it was worth it. Now my Wife will never let me forget she told me about this spot she goes to. read more

Sat outside which was nice since the inside was super noisy. The coffee was decent but the Eggs Benedict wasn't all that. Just seemed like it didn't have much taste was kind of bland. Even salt and pepper couldn't save the potatoes which also seemed to lack excitement. Thankfully there were 2 things that did stand out - the chicken tortilla soup and the BACON! You have to get some of their bacon it's delicious! Other than that the restaurant did not live up to my expectation maybe I should've ordered something else. Might go back maybe try something geared more towards lunch. read more

Damn this spot is in a pretty random location but the staff is friendly and the food comes out quick here! Only been here once and got the breakfast burrito but man it was massive and filling. I couldn't finish it but would love to hit up this spot again when I'm in town. Great bang for your buck so make it a point to find this gem! read more

Crackers & Co. Cafe - Breakfast burrito - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Food is always good here. Great sandwiches and soups. Try the thrill of the grill (for chicken lovers), the run of the garden (for veggy eaters) and the excellent tortilla soup as a side. For desert, Crackers has the best blackberry bread pudding anywhere. Wow. read more

The only reason this place is getting one star is that at least the server was honest and telling me that their food isn't even that good. I order a southwest Carnitas chorizo skillet. The plate came with salsa on the side. Now being Mexican I know what real salsa that tastes like. That was not salsa. It was just water with pieces of tomato inside of it. The Carnitas taste as they came out of the microwave and the green sauce that came with the Carnitas also taste nasty. I couldn't even finish the plate it was that bad. This is the first and last time ever come here. Don't try to make Mexican plates if you're not gonna be able to cook them correctly. It's an insult to my culture and my people. read more

Stopped in based on yelp reviews and was expecting great food and good service. Once again yelp was right on. The food was priced great and huge portions. We had breakfast here and I can say by far one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. If you're in the area stop in and enjoy. A little of the main roads in a strip mall type building but worth the drive. read more

I found this place on Yelp! Let's be honest, there's really no other way you could find it. This little gem is tucked behind a Home Depot just off of country club nearby the interstate. The service is great and everything on the menu is amazing. I've been here many times since finding it with family, friends, and the girlfriend and we will continue to come in the future. The breakfast skillets are really good and you can never go wrong with the pancakes. The only downside is that the way the tables are laid out in the restaurant does make it a little cramped. Especially be prepared to feel like people are super close to you if you come during breakfast time, as they tend to be quite busy! Keep up the good work guys!! read more

We took my folks here for Sunday brunch and it did not disappoint. Great breakfast food, fast friendly service. I recommend that you try everything on the menu. read more

Deliciously consistent. Everything tastes freshly baked. I just love this place. I'm usually at the location in Tempe, but this was a nice change of pace, less crowded but still very personable and great customer service! read more

Delicious. I had Carnitas Melt. Hubby had Chicken fajita pita (chicken was tasty and moist). Mom had burger with real cheddar and bacon. I also tried both raspberry and passion fruit iced teas (brewed) both really good. Very filling and worth the money. read more

I love Crackers, especially for breakfast. My favorite item on the menu is the Day Break, which includes cinnamon French toast, two eggs, and bacon or sausage. It is awesome. I add there three berry topping and whipped cream. I have also eaten lunch and their burgers are good too. There are open 7 days a week, for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is served all day. read more

Oh wow. The wait is worth it. It is difficult to find. Located behind Home Depot in an industrial are. Great breakfast terrific. Bryon was the server great job. read more

Crackers has been my families go to breakfast spot for over 10 years. With an assortment of great options this restaurant has something for anyone who loves a breakfast. Craving a savory protein breakfast? You can't go wrong with one of their skillets, my personal favorite is their Southwest Chorizo Carnitas skillet. Looking for something more on the sweet side? Look no further than their Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. They offer traditional dishes as well that are equally as delicious and appetizing, but it really isn't a surprise for a well rated breakfast place to have a good cheese omelet. read more

I read the other reviews on here and they were mostly favorable so I checked this place out with my family. Everything was excellent from the food to the service. I don't have any complaints. We were told there was a 10 minute wait and I don't even think it took that long to get a table. All of the trays coming out of the kitchen looked phenomenal and everybody with me was pleased. We all left stuffed. I wish I had room for dessert. Maybe next time. I had the huevos rancheros. I thought it had a very good flavor, the carnitas were made right, the salsa was good, it had just enough spice to it. I don't see how you could be disappointed dining here. Check it out!! read more

Best place for breakfast food! My girlfriend and I found this place about a year ago and can't get enough. So much so, that we've even decided to travel to further a location just so it didn't seem like we were at this one everyday. Really love this breakfast, but before I just start rambling on and on about nothing like when someone just can't stop typing almost forcing the reader to keep reading like what's gonna happen, is he gonna keep typing and typing about nothing, am I, the reader going to keep reading this nothingness, and even if after all that reading it goes nowhere and jello pudding push karts providing fairy funds for underpriced lodging. read more

I'm a waffle person. I NEVER eat pancakes. But today I ordered the special. Brown sugar and banana pancakes. I DIDN'T EVEN NEED SYRUP! THIS PLACE IS DEFINITELY A HIDDEN GEM. I will be back to try more. read more

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

Whoa Whoa Whoa! How Have I NOT written a review to crackers yet?! Crackers and Co. is my absolute favorite breakfast place by far. I rant and rave about how i always want to go because...I LOVE Breakfast! Their country potatoes are to die for when you get them served fresh. Now i am not saying they have came out gross before i just do not like eating potatoes or french fries after i have left a restaurant they just aren't the same. I cant believe someone thinks their food is bland. they must have made a wrong choice somewhere. Everything i have gotten has been amazing to say the least. For some reason i always get the skillets and go back and forth with which one i will get. But the most recent time i went i got their super amazing french toast that melts in your mouth like cinnabon but not as sweet where you feel as if you will die in the next hour. No the French toast is perfect but next time i will only get one slice not 6. Their biscuits and gravy are pretty damn good too. the sauce isn't watery or soupy but just amazing. My sister has tried one of the omelletes i just cannot remember which one. i will be trying one today when i finish getting ready for the day. which of course im looking forward too. make sure when you get to crackers if you enjoy lemonade order yourself the strawberry lemonade its my favorite! More than Hot dog on a sticks lemonade which i drink on a regular basis working in the chandler mall. Oh one more thing...If you want superb customer service every time go to this location that is behind home depot. I have been to the Tempe location 3 times now and 2 out of 3 times the customer service was just mediocre to poor. the most recent time a friend and i went our waiter was finally nice thank god. For some reason their hostess doesn't come off pleasant what so ever and obviously doesn't care about quality customer service on weekends(which is when i went once) . But the mesa location is so far my favorite and i cant wait to stuff my face with some of crackers and cos amazing food! :) read more

Finding a nice breakfast spot that isn't IHOP or Denny's used to be fairly difficult. Thankfully, with places like Crackers and Co., a good meal isn't too far away, and they know how to make a good meal. Nestled away in a business complex behind a home improvement store, Crackers and Co. is easily missed, which is kind of sad, but apparently that doesn't affect their level of business, as there always seems to be a small crowd outside on the weekends. The staff are busy like bees at what seems to be every moment of the day, but remain warm and friendly. The coffee carafe service is a definite plus, which makes me happy that I can have coffee whenever I want, and makes one less thing for them to worry about. Trust me, I looked, but I don't think there was an unhappy face there on both days that we visited. Anyway, the food here is darn good. My wife fell in love with their French toast, which was almost too much to handle, but the dish is hot and amazing with some syrup on top, complete with eggs and breakfast meat. I had the pleasure of trying their chicken fried steak one day and their traditional bacon and eggs on another. There's just something about the food that makes you feel good, right up to the point of where you realize that you cleaned the entire plate and now have to be rolled out on a wheelbarrow just to get to your car. Yeah, it's worth the pain. The reason Crackers and Co. is so good is simply because it's a warm, inviting atmosphere paired up with good, home style cooking that fills your ever expanding gut with happiness. read more

Stopped here with my wife and inlaws after the first place we went to had an hour wait. Came here based upon the reviews on Yelp. After waiting 20 minutes for a table, I ordered the traditional breakfast with the flat-iron steak. I ordered the steak medium, but it came well done. The eggs and potatoes were okay, but nothing really special. The english muffin was good. The service was good, but three stars based upon the food. Nothing was terrible, but nothing amazed me either. I expected more for the wait. read more

Quite fantastic food with decent service. Had the traditional with bacon, eggs (a bit closer to over hard while I had ordered over medium) and amazing potatoes, great toast, and a great biscuit. The girlfriend ordered the crab eggs benedict, one of their specials, which was fantastic, except that she found a few pieces of shell, which is a jarring and unpleasant experience in ANY crab dish. We finished off with the blackberry cinnamon bread pudding and it nearly killed us with its deliciousness. I was dithering on whether or not we could finish an entire serving, and thus, if we should get it to go or not, and the waiter offered to bring out a sample with the rest to go, which was really perfect and totally appreciated. Seriously, they say "award-winning" and they say it's great, but until you've tried this... you have not had dessert. It. Was. Incredible. AJ's also has it on sale if you need a quick fix. Will be returning definitely. Very tasty. read more
