Crackers & Co has been a favorite of mine for years. I miss the (now closed) Tempe location and wish they'd open another location in Phoenix or Tempe. The restaurant is cozy with cool vaulted ceilings. A great place to bring the whole family. The service is remarkably fast. In my recent visit the place was packed with only two available tables. Even so, being seated, order taken and food delivered took mere minutes. The Biscuits and Gravy were good. This was my first time ordering this dish, given the California Eggs Benedict are my "go to", given how fantastic they are. The Breakfast Potatoes are consistently yummy. The Poached Eggs were good (with a little salt and pepper added). I wasn't blown away by the Orange Juice, but it was still okay. Again, I hope they open a Phoenix or Tempe location. Mesa is a bit far for me and I want to revisit time and time again! read more

Well I haven't been here in a while I eat at so many different places I was in the mood for some delicious French Toast. When I got there I asked for Mike he always takes care of me. He says the regular and he knows exactly what I get. He was off today so anything could happen. I sat down Cory was my food server ( are they still called that or waiter and waitress I'm not sure I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings) Anyway I ordered the Daybreak 2 pieces of French Toast 2 eggs and 2 bacon. Oh and coffee gotta have coffee! It showed up smaller than normal must have been the ends of the loaf. 1st piece was a little tuff but was able to cut it with a knife. 2nd 1 I needed a steak knife and when you asked for a steak knife to cut your bread you would think she would ask why well she didn't she gave me the knife and then I asked for another piece. I don't know why she didn't offer it either. I will come back but call 1st to make sure Mike is there read more

*****REVIEW UPDATE***** We came back in for a second time and this visit was better than the last. The food we got was so perfect. The wife got the Tamale carnitas Benny and said it was so flavorful. Our server, Ciara recommended my wife to put Tabasco sauce on it. My wife doesn't particularly like Tabasco sauce but she did under the recommendation and loved it even more. I got the traditional breakfast with french toast, as I was craving french toast. I was put into my happy place. The bacon was cooked perfectly. I don't like well done bacon nor flimsy bacon, it was spot on. Now, to the server, Ciara. She was one of the most nicest, engaging and professional and yet personable servers we have met in a long time. We plan returning and hope we get to sit in her area again. She deserves all the accolades and accommodations she can get as well as a raise. read more

Took my daughters to lunch today to celebrate my oldest getting her braces on & figured Crackers & Co would be the best possible spot. We arrived around 12, and had a 20 minute wait (no problem). Our waitress was a bit strange. Definitely out of the ordinary for this restaurant.... The girls ordered the 1/3 pound cheeseburgers, I got the crispy chicken melt. The food came out surprisingly quick considering how busy it was. The girls enjoyed their burgers, but we did notice that there was only a minuscule portion of thousand island on the bun... Nobody wants a dry burger, do they? we asked for more sauce for the burgers since there was hardly any there and we were charged...... My sandwich was terrible.... The chicken pieces were small and had no flavor. There was very little sauce on the sandwich & the avocado was nearly black. &The fries did not taste fresh either. Then, to my surprise, I chomped down on this enormous hard piece in my sandwich.... I spit it out right away and noticed I bit down on a massive bone chip.... It definitely hurt my tooth!! The girls and I both saw this giant chunk & instantly lost our appetites. I am so grateful that I did not choke on this thing or break my tooth. I've never seen anything like this. We asked for the check and got the heck out of there. I am extremely disappointed. This has always been one of my favorite spots, since childhood. However, after this experience, I'm afraid that I won't be coming back.... I am extremely grossed out. read more

1/24/26 Monthly Breakfast Club meet-up with friends. Parking 5/5 We arrived at 7:30 am and there was plenty of shared and private parking. We parked near the front door. Atmosphere 5/5 This restaurant is a gem, well appointed, great colors that give a vibe of warm spaces and class. This isn't your corner-chain breakfast joint. Service 6/5 From the greeter to the servers your visit experience is elevated by their attentiveness. Food 8/5 Let me begin by saying this restaurant has a great menu with selections that are rare at this price point, skillfully prepared and a great value! Everyone in our party of six was pleasantly impressed with their selections. The recipes are great and the Kitchen here does an outstanding job getting fresh hot dishes to the table quickly. I had the Spinach, Bacon omelette; and country potatoes; outstanding! A splash of the house private label hot cause was a great touch. My wife enjoyed her Denver omelette with toast. The Caption enjoyed his Delicious French toast, Kelly had crepes and Jim enjoyed the Crab cake eggs Benedict and said they were delicious as were my unique SW eggs Benedict my previous visit. I covered my Army Captain buddy. $86.24 for three of us with tip for a level above breakfast. A breakfast to remember my friends-SYOY! read more

I see this place everytime I pass by and remind myself to give this place a try. I know it has been here for a while. Sunday 9 am no wait and we got sat right away. The monthly special menu looked pretty good and items on the menu sounded pretty good. Ordered country fried steak and biscuits and gravy. Country fried steak was extra add on for $3.99 which made the dish with biscuit and gravy with 2 eggs, potatoes for $17.98. Also ordered the special red chicken chilli tamale special. The food took longer than average which wasn't a huge deal. Got my country steak and disappointed that it was on the small side.. I mean I understand it was $3.99 upgrade. Potato.... Well I am assuming it's suppose to be like home style potato or some sort but it tasted like boiled and sliced potatoes, no crunchiness or fried texture. Potato also had no flavor at all, no salt no seasoning of any sort. Now to my country fried steak even though it was on the small side flavor was actually pretty good. I don't know why they serve the CFS on top of the biscuit. Not only does it cause the biscuit to taste more soggy when you get down to it, I had half of biscuit left with no gravy to eat it with. I was tempted to get extra gravy to finish off the biscuit but never got the chance, since our waitress never came by to check how the food was. The tamale was not too bad, it was moist but lacked in flavor little bit. Over all food was OK, nothing special. I'm glad I had the chance to try this place finally, but I won't be coming back here. We did see the waitress again when it was time to pay.. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time and enjoyed the whole experience! We were greeted right away and they took us to a table w/ no issues. Our waitress, Amber, came by rightaway--super sweet and suggested some of her favorite dishes. Not gonna lie I was little overwhelmed as their menu is pretty big but I decided to get the Greek omelette and my bf ordered the Ultimate Omelette. Both dishes super tasty! I haven't eaten an omelette with that much flavor in a while! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the ambience was quaint, we felt like we were at grandmas house lol. Very clean and cute, plenty of space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We both ordered coffee it was ok and for dessert the bread pudding is a must-try! Mmmm. The carrot cake was ok but I wouldn't order it again--had a weird flavor. Our server was so sweet she wanted us to try the tortilla soup so she gave us one to-go to try at no charge and we had a nice conversation with her. We will def be back!! 7.5/10! read more

Ordered the California eggs Benedict with potatoes and side of sausage gravy. Server and kitchen got order correction I asked for no tomato or spinach on the Benedict, and to make sure eggs were poached over easy because most of the time, the poached eggs here are overdone. Flavor good on everything, but the issue is, 100% of the time we eat here, food is brought out lukewarm. The food came out relatively quickly after we ordered, so I don't think it was a matter of the plate sitting too long, but rather that the food is just not ever heated enough. read more

I realized the other day that I've been coming to Crackers & Co. for about 9 years now, and honestly, they never miss. It's one of those rare spots that has stayed consistently great the entire time I've been a regular. ​Whether you're stopping in for breakfast or lunch, you really can't go wrong. Their coffee is always solid--which is a huge plus for me--and the food actually tastes like someone's grandma is in the back making it from scratch. The menu has a ton of variety, but everything feels high-quality and fresh, not like some of the greasy spoon alternatives nearby. ​What keeps me coming back (besides the food) is the service. The staff is always genuinely friendly and they move fast, even when it's packed. Plus, in a time where prices everywhere else are getting out of hand, their prices are still really reasonable for the portion sizes you get. ​[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a reliable, local gem with a great vibe and even better food, this is the spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Here's to another 9 years! read more

Fast seating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice servers and big restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered southwest eggs benedict and my husband ordered california eggs benedict. Hmm, its almost like eating eggs with custard. the hollandaise sauce is too sweet! Not a single umami flavor is detected. So much sugar and the cream was so think i have no idea what they put in it. Takes so long to cook too. read more

Picked up the spicy chicken tortilla soup at Cracker's & Co. and it was really good! It had chicken, black beans, corn, green chilis, tomato, and onion--they warned it was spicy. The person taking my order made sure to say it is spicy. I thought it had just the right amount of spice. There were tortilla crisps on top and sour cream. So good! read more

We hadn't been back to Crackers in over 10 years. During that time, I wished we could go again as we remembered that we had some great breakfasts there. This recent trip we made it over there. The Phoenix area has had a lot of growth during our absence and it was readily apparent when we showed up at Crackers on a rainy weekday at 11:30 a.m. We were told there would be a 25 minute wait. It never was like that in the past. When we got seated, we were given a two top. Our server was friendly but scatter-brained. We both got the 222 breakfast which consists of two eggs any style, bacon or sausage and 2 pancakes. The kitchen was slow---understandable given how busy the place was. While waiting for our food, we noticed that there were no condiments on the table. When we got our server's attention, he did bring some over. When our food arrived, our server tried to give it to a table near us. They told them it wasn't theirs. He figured out it was ours. The food was okay this time but it didn't seem as special as it used to be---just run of the mill. In the past, we would go to Crackers at least 2 or 3 times during the week we visited. Then when we asked the server for our check, it took him a very long time to get it to us. When he approached our table, it was to try to give us a credit card that belonged to the people whom he tried to give them our food. SMH We don't regret going simply because we would have found ourselves longing to try it again. Now that we did go back, we don't plan to return again. read more

The Food was very good and we had Quick service. They had some nice specials too. Good sausage!

This is a small cafe that offers breakfast and lunch options. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and sweet potato fries. I think the waitress was having a rough day. She put in for a side of fruit instead of the fries. She quickly got the fries to me when I mentioned it. I then overheard that she put the wrong pancake order in for the table next to us too. It's ok, rough days happen and she eventually got the correct orders to everyone. Food was standard. Not bad but nothing special about read more

We have been going to the location at Greenfield and Brown for almost 8 years. Laurel and Mike are the best servers !!!! The only comment I would make is the hostesses could dress a little nicer. They are the nicest girls, but they look like they just rolled out of bed. They are at the front of the restaurant. They represent. You know what I mean? read more

Watch out, look out; great food and service ahead! Crackers & Co is one of my go to places when I am at work and need a lunch or breakfast. I typically order pick up and the food is always ready as promised and at the appropriate temperature. The team at the Greenfield location is always super professional and helpful. Every time I have ordered something, it is great. When I have awoken working lunch, our team orders from Crackers & Co. If you are in the area and hungry, give em a try! read more

I ordered soup and a half. I selected the beef vegetable soup and chicken salad on rye. Well the soup was barely warm and not chef quality. It definitely looked like yesterday leftovers, no homemade flavor in the broth, the small beef chunks were mostly gristle and the only fresh vegetables were the potatoes that were like an inch square!! The chicken salad was good, half a sandwich on a plate with no garnish. I probably wouldn't go back for lunch. read more

Stumbled upon this spot for some breakfast. I ordered the New Princess omelet which has chunks of chicken, bacon, mushroom and broccoli stuffed with cream cheese and topped with hollandaise sauce with side potatoes. I haven't had breakfast potatoes like these before and they were delicious and crispy. The omelet supposedly has chunks of chicken but the bacon was mostly the protein. There were very small amounts of broccoli as well. It was topped with too much hollandaise sauce and it was like to hide the lack of chicken and broccoli. You get one slice of bread as well; I got sourdough. I wish I could say I loved it, but it was average. read more

I've enjoyed breakfast at crackers about half a dozen times now . The menu is vast and anything I've ordered has hit the top notch. They have omelets that have a healthy balance of egg and other ingredients. The pancakes are light and well sized . The coffee is great. Prices; decent considering the times . The place is always packed so get there early or be ready to wait . The staff is very friendly and attentive. Ambiance is good , not too noisy . Well lit and clean as well . It my go to breakfast spot when visiting Mesa ! read more

Most expensive (at over $17) and worst breakfast I have ever had! Biscuit (for which I had to pay an extra $1.49) was stone cold, as was the plate, the potatoes (which were also undercooked) and the smallest omelet I have ever seen. Also, I would have complained to the server had I ever seen her again. I will never return to that place! I am now an IHOP customer for breakfast always. read more

First time last time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service and ambiance gets 4 stars as the place has a nice look and the employees were great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also menu is very promising and makes everything sound wonderful. Too bad not the case as most all of our food was cold and not as ordered. Asked for mayo on the side and bacon not overly cooked and both were ignored. Potatoes and eggs both cold bread used in breakfast sandwich stale and tasteless. Hoped for better results but will not be on my list for breakfast places. Give it a try you may have different results I hope do. read more

The food was average for breakfast. Omelet was overcooked and with mixing in all meat was on the dryer side. At more exceptional restaurants the meat has been in the middle with more of a portion of meat, not cooked in with eggs. Service also disappointed, had to wait about 10 minutes to first get served coffee and water, the waiter had a long explanation of an excuse. Higher prices then other neighboring restaurants. Won't be back. read more

Love visiting for lunch time and getting the pick two option. The baked potato soup is quite literally they best I've ever had- and I've tried a ton of potato soups! My favorite sandwich is the simple tuna or BLT that both come fully loaded on deliciously buttered sourdough. They can customize most sandwiches, so the sky is the limit. We were checked in and sat quickly with a very pleasant server. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a super cute patio area during the fall and spring months and ample parking in front or around the side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This restaurant also does a great job with accommodating large parties! read more

Egg art. Where do I start. Add the eggs Benedict to your carte. Once you try it you'll feel great love in your heart. Eating the eggs benedumelts in your mouth; never allowing your day to go south. The eggs Benedict was delicious. The atmosphere is lively, and a great brunch spot!! read more

My lady and I tried Crackers for breakfast for the first time and we came away impressed! She selected bacon, eggs, house potatoes, toast and coffee. I had a hamburger steak, eggs, house potatoes and an iced tea. I tend to like beef more towards rare/medium rare and the cook nailed it to perfection for me! Sandy our server was super friendly and on top of everything while managing multiple tables simultaneously. She checked on us several times and we never had to ask for drink refills once as she had it covered. Thanks Sandy! Also, the noise level was average as there were several tables that had families with children but it was still easy to hold a conversation. Our bill came out to a bit over $30 which included tip. Both my lady and I had leftovers and took them home and enjoyed another meal that evening. So, $30 for four meals, not too bad! We plan on returning again to try Crackers for lunch in the near future. read more

Best breakfast in Mesa/Gilbert! Crackers & Co Cafe is no fuss or muss but all YUM! I had an appointment in the area and was looking for a place nearby for an early meal (breakfast/brunch). Saw positive recommendations for this place, so stopped in with my friends and gave it a try! So glad we did! The place is located in a small shopping area with plenty of parking. They restaurant has plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating (although near-ish to a major road so a little loud. Highly recommend screens or larger plant life to create a more private and intimate outdoor space). We were greeted immediately upon entering with a friendly smile and seated. Our server made us feel so welcome and treated us like we've been going here for years. Love that! So pleasant and genuine! The food: phenomenal! It's not fancy, but really good food doesn't need to be. This is home cooked feel at its finest! If you want a robust tasty breakfast or brunch without pretension or conversely the feel of a greasy spoon...GO NOW!!! The waffles were light and crispy (the warm triple berry topping was delicious). But I have to say the breakfast potatoes were AMAZING!!! Those alone make we want to go back and eat them just by themselves! So good! If you're ever in Gilbert, or on the east side of Phoenix, take the time to stop here for breakfast/brunch/lunch, you won't be disappointed! read more
