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!

Everyone seems to know Crackers & Co. but this is only the 2nd time I've eaten here. I wanted something a little 'different' and chose the Huevos Racheros adding the Pork Carnitas, bringing the grand total up to roughly $10 bucks. It was good, I guess, I love the dish in general, but I don't know that I'd go running back just to order it again. The big difference was my waiter continually calling me Sweetheart. And not in the genuine honey, darlin' type of way but the you're-my-last-table kind of way. Did I mention, this was around 1 o'clock, and they close @ 2. Overall, not horrible but not fantastic. read more

Love this place for Sunday breakfast! Just a little bit of a wait but we brought the paper and enjoyed sitting outside in the early morning sun. The California Eggs Benny never disappoints! Others in my party enjoyed the traditional eggs benny and the traditional breakfast with 3 huge sausage links! Service was the usual, friendly and fast! read more

Best place for breakfast. The carne asada skillet is YUM - try it with a little green Tabasco. I also love their breakfast burrito - huge portion - absolutely delightful. For lunch the salads are fresh and flavorful. I am not a fan of bread pudding but they are out of this world good so save some room - you're gonna want some! My fav on the menu for lunch is their chicken tortilla soup. Best anywhere - but be prepared - it's spicy good. I think they are waaaaay overpriced but they do serve nice portions. We used to eat at the one on Iron until the opened the Greenfield location. Both are equality fabulous! read more

Really nice outdoor patio and spacing is just right . The food was good... I had a spinach, mushroom and cheese omelet that was cooked perfectly ! Our waitress was excellent and friendly! read more

We would have written a comment directly to the management but there was no way to do so on their web site. Today was our first visit and we were initially impressed by the building and the friendly staff; we were very uinhappy with the noise however, (and it was in no way crowded) which was made much worse by a radio station over the loudspeakers! The atmosphere did not need any extra noise, especially by the annoying music of this particular station. When we asked the waitress about it she would have been only too happy to have it turned down, but we were already at the end of the meal. She said it makes it very hard for the wait staff to take orders correctly and attend to the customers. My husband also said the bathroom could have been cleaner. The food was good but if we go back it will be to sit outside, or maybe try another localion. read more

The food is always good and the portions are ample. Breakfast dishes are their strong suit, but my chicken salad sandwich was only OK, leaving me to wish I had ordered a skillet. C'est la vie. read more

Here's an update to my previous brief review, after having visited Crackers and Company several more times. I still really like it, but in my recent visits I've noticed a fluctuation in the quality of service, and portion sizes seem pretty small. Last time I visited was very strange - our server was very brusque and not friendly at all, then halfway through the meal he turned into a smiling, happy-go-lucky guy! (And yes, it was the same person.) It was a little off-putting. The food, though, is still as delicious as ever and sitting outside is my favorite spot! read more

One of the reasons we always come here, is that the food is fabulous and the waitstaff are wonderful. We love it when we get Warren to be our waiter. Warren is very personable, he knows the menu very well, and aims to please. I was a little disappointed in the person who sat us today. She is tall with white blond hair and was very standoffish. I asked her If there were any booths. she said yes but none were available I said okay tables are fine but she didn't have any of those either and then we finally said we would on the patio. She placed us at the first table she plopped down the menus and walked away to talk with her friends. She didn't even ask if this table was okay. Warren came right away and all my anger at the blonde lady went away. Thank you Warren. read more

I love this place for breakfast and lunch. There is a lot of variety and everything tastes delicious. I come back over and over!

Great small place for breakfast. We sat on the patio but make sure you get a seat by the umbrellas as the sun was intense. Overall food was good. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place ever. They get my eggs cooked right!! Get there early so you don't have to wait to long. It's a hot spot but the wait is worth it. Everything tastes homemade. Don't let the word cafe fool you. Its definitely great. read more

Went to the one in mesa, first time there. Met a buddy there for breakfast. Waitress was very helpful and friendly. Asked if they had steak and eggs and she said yes. The breakfast was very good and cooked just right. Met the owner, my buddy knew her and she was very friendly. I will definitely go there again and recommend to anybody looking for a new place to go. read more

Another spot we used to eat when we lived in AZ. I happened to be in town for business and stopped in. Their sandwiches are really good with quality ingredients. The soup is great. read more

Outstanding! Best burger in the East Valley! Server (Byron) was one of the best servers I've experienced anywhere. Food was delicious and well prepared. read more

Crackers & Co Cafe is my favorite breakfast / lunch place. Everything I've had there was delicious. Belgian breakfast, salmon benedict are my favs. They use quality ingredients. Lots of outdoor seating, even in the shade. read more

This is my all time favorite breakfast place. Truthfully I am not crazy about breakfast as it is my least favorite meal of the day. However when it comes to this place I suddenly become a breakfast freak. I highly suggest any of the eggs benedict dishes. I usually go for the California. Which has avocado and bacon. Hash browns are on the side and my plate is always clean with nothing left on it after about 15 mins. I had never had eggs benedict before eating here and have tried it at numerous other places since my first visit but, NEVER have I found better. Believe it or not I have even started cooking my own eggs benedict because of how amazing this place makes them. After many attempts that turned out great this place still beats me. This place is to die for and many of my friends from central Phoenix will ask to go here if they are visiting. Truly the best!!!! read more

The food was fresh and delicious. Lorries, our waitress was very polite and informative. Great service.

I visited this restaurant recently with a friend and we had an excellent brunch. I had the french toast with a side of bacon and I must say it's probably the best bacon I've had out in a long time. We took advantage of the patio seating and it was very pleasant. The service moved along quickly without being pushy and all in all it was a very nice visit. My only complain is the orange juice was warm. Really warm. read more

Excellent as always. Fresh food, great service. Fries are coated with something which makes them especially crunchy and flavorful but still soft on the inside. read more

The food was delicious. Ordered heart healthy omelet with veggies. Oj and fruit. The waitress disappeared for quite some time. Did not get a refill on my water until we were ready to leave. Had to wait for the check also. Other than brushing up on there service..the place is good read more

Crackers & Co Cafe - Great heart healthy breakfast. Scrambled eggs with veggies and chicken. Delicious - American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Great food, customer service, my gram and I have gone a couple of times. We sit out side and get the same girl, her name is Dre. She is so happy and attentive. If you go ask for her, you won't be disappointed. read more

Went on a Sunday to have brunch. There were people waiting outside. But we got in in under 20 min. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict. The crab cakes were crispy and delicious. The hallendaze sauce was ok. They needed more people busing and cleaning because of the crowd. read more

If you are looking for a fun, quick, family-friendly café with great service, this is the place for you. I walked into the restaurant with my family, went up to the host stand and we were seated within 5 minutes. Once seated at our table, it only took a couple of minutes for our server to assist us. She asked what we would like to drink in a very friendly manner and came back with them promptly. When she did, I asked to get a glass of chocolate milk and of course, she came back with it right away. This has always been an important key factor to a restaurant in my opinion. Servers must be friendly and willing to do anything to satisfy the customer. After a few minutes, she came back to the table and asked if we were ready to order. We were. After she took down what we wanted she left us to continue our conversation. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant with fruit on the side, which was only eight dollars. We also ordered a plate of French toast to share for the table, which only cost seven dollars. It did not take long for our food to arrive; 10 minutes at most. My meal looked appetizing to say the least. There was an assortment of pineapple, grapes, strawberries, and blueberries in my fruit cup. It tasted fresh. My bacon was crisped to perfection. The scrambled eggs were cooked just right, not liquid-y, but not burnt either. The croissant was fresh and the cheese melted completely on both halves. The entire taste was utter perfection. The French toast that we shared at the table tasted like a cinnamon roll in French toast form. It looked like cinnamon bread as well. I have never tasted French toast better than this in my entire life. All around, my experience at Cracker's Café was definitely one that I will be having again. The service was friendly and prompt. More importantly, the food was absolutely impeccable with low prices. If ever in need of a breakfast or lunch stop, this is definitely the go-to place. read more

The food has always been good, but the atmosphere is challenging. Cement floors with stone arches and plaster walls with wood ceilings allows any sound to reverberate aggressively. Couple that with a busy kitchen and an overly boisterous wait staff and the decibel meter registered a healthy 90! If you're after a quiet intimate experience, bring some ear plugs!!! See our decibel meter in photos for evidence! read more

i usually love this place. well not today, my bread was rock hard and had mold on it, i ordered fruit and they didn't put it on my pickup order. I also ordered a mocha latte and it was like water with coffee it was terrible. Idk what was happening but first watch is much better breakfast place i'd opt there. read more

So disappointing! How do I begin? I went to Crackers and Co. this morning for my sister's baby shower. I know everyone raves about this place and I was excited to have breakfast here. I've eaten there once before in the past, but it had been a few years. I was trying to find something on the menu that wasn't too sugary (I try avoid processed sugar as much as possible), maybe a little on the healthier side, and I saw the "Health Cakes" on the menu. The pancakes are described as being "infused with oatmeal," and "topped with strawberries, blueberries and whip cream." They sounded great. I also wanted to add a side of eggs, but the server told me that I should get the 2-2-2 breakfast that already came with eggs and sausage/bacon, and they could substitute those pancakes with the health cakes I wanted. She didn't mention anything else about it costing more, and so I agreed to it and placed my order. When my food arrived I was really suprised at the lack of toppings on my "health cakes." I counted *ONE* strawberry that had been cut into 4 pieces, maybe a tablespoon of mini blueberries, and a teaspoon of granola. The girl two seats down from me got just the health cakes and her pancakes were LOADED with blueberries, strawberries and whip cream, atleast 5 or 6 times the amount on my pancakes. When I took my first bite, I realized that the pancakes were just plain old pancakes, not "infused with granola" like they are described on the menu. Infused means "to fill" or put into something, so to me, and another lady at our table this came off as false advertising. So all of a sudden, the "healthy" pancakes that I planned to eat sans syrup, would need some major syrup due to the lack of toppings. I didn't want to make a big deal of it at my sister's baby shower, so I just poured on the syrup and ate. The pancakes were mushy, and didn't taste like anything. It was like eating sugary mush, and so I stopped after a 4 or 5 bites. I ate my eggs, which were nothing special, and the sausage was nasty. I ended up only eating the eggs in entirety and the rest of the pancakes and sausage I offered to family members. My breakfast was far from satisfying, but I didn't want to make a scene. When my bill came, I noticed that there was an added charge of $2.32 for the "health cakes." So apparently that miniscule amount of toppings they sprinkled on my pancakes costs $2.32. I asked my server about this, and she confirmed it. I was blown away! If she would have told me that I was going to be charged $2.32 to "upgrade" them to the health cakes, I would have ordered something else. That much for one strawberry, a small amount of mini blueberries, and a pinch of granola? REALLY??? I paid my bill, and left the restaurant with a headache and a resolve to never eat at Crackers and Co. again. read more

Anytime I want a delicious breakfast out in the morning I think of Crackers & Co. I have been coming here for several years and cant get enough of it. I mad another trip here this weekend and got in rather quick, usually there about a 30 min wait. Like always I got great fast service. I usually get the chicken fried steak with gravy but I didn't feel like eating something that heavy. Instead I got the chorizo skillet and I was blown away. Im usually the guy that orders the same thing since in know how its gonna taste and its safe. Im glad I tried this. It became my new favorite. Chorizo was a tad spicy which I absolutely love. That skillet didn't have a chance. 1 thing I can say I was disappointed in was the ratio to chorizo to potato... The potato was the filler but shouldn't be 80% potato and 20% chorizo.. Ill still be back to order again... read more

The food was alright. Generic Folgers coffee. We were quoted a 20 minute wait but got seated about 30 minutes later. Between that and waiting for our server, the two of us were here for about an hour and a half. read more

Great food, abundant food, friendly staff, a lot of staff. Probably hard to get into on the weekend. Highly recommend.

Husband and I drive past this restaurant quite often. We should have kept on driving. When we arrived there was a few people dining, I ordered the Carnitas Bennie and husband ordered Bacon Avocado Egg Melt. Mine came...it was ice cold, plate was cold beans were icy, cheese was not melted, Carnitas were like they were taken out of the fridge. When I finally got Laurel's (waitress) attention she gave some lame excuse, took my plate to the back, when the plate was brought back to me It was warmish...when I tried to eat it I noticed the muffins had turned bad and the poached eggs were hard. The mgr came by made a huge deal, when I pointed these things out. He claimed he had witnessed the cooks making a fresh plate and that there was no way the muffins were bad or that the eggs could be hard. I was mortified. My husband had already started eating his meal...needless to say I did not eat. The Mgr. Had made such a huge deal, I had taken a bite and he grudgingly said he would take mine off the bill. I was not willing to order anything else. I wish I could give this a negative star. read more

Adam, server, ran his cute little legs off for us and everybody else in this restaurant today! He was extremely attentive, friendly, more than accommodating, and made our visit absolutely perfect!!!!!!! read more

I love this place food is great some of the servers suck.. We used to go in all the time but don't like dealing with smart A@S servers especially after paying a lot of money. read more

First time diner, and I will definitely be returning. Great atmosphere, Tuscany meets breakfast. Quiet, unlike most breakfast places at 9:30 on a Sunday. This restaurant has plenty of seating and enough partitions to absorb most room noise. Our server, Byron, was amazing. He perfectly understood our needs, repeated our orders back to us, and ensured we had full drinks and all necessary condiments! Great service is a must for my patronage. I ordered the spicy baja omelette. Usually omelettes are a safe bet when out for breakfast--hard to mess up, and nothing to write home about--but this was not the case. This meal was super delicious, I might have to inform my mom back home of this well constructed breakfast ;) read more

Very busy but they keep things moving. Food is great but need to offer glutton free menu. Great value for the money.

Soooo yummy!! Pork carnitas with chorizo was amazing!! I'm so full and have the meat sweats. Lol. Well worth the money!!! Service was great and friendly, will definitely be back!! read more

I had eggs Benedict. It was ok but the hollandaise sauce was pretty bland. The best eggs benedicts I have ever had is at TC Eggingtons on Alma School Rd and Hwy 60. The service at Crackers was excellent. read more
