A new favorite breakfast spot! Amazingly delicious coffee and the BLT Benedict was so freaking good! Everyone knows a Benedict is all about the sauce. What's Crackin has some of the best Hollandaise sauce and the eggs were cooked to perfection! My meal came out cold however I still inhaled it!! If it's delicious cold just imagine how much more yummy it will be hot!! My server was great (forgive me for not remembering his name)! He got the manager, Clark, who took care of my meal....which was very kind of him. I am definitely going back and bringing my family to enjoy a wonderful meal!! Oh.....and did I say the coffee was soooo gooood!! Clark even gave me some to take home!!! Despite the cold food....I am returning and tell everyone to get cracking and go to What's Cracking!! (I just myself laugh!) read more

I had the stuffed French toast. It wasn't very good. Flavor was just too cream cheese straight out of the box mixed with fruit. Meh. Bacon and hash brown sides that I ordered were good though. Service was OK. Friend ordered biscuits and gravy and they didn't prep them how she wanted. They did bring an extra plain biscuit though. It was a typical breakfast joint sweating set up. Nothing special. read more

This was my first time coming to 'What's Crackin', we didn't have to wait long to be seated and when we were it was nice and comfortable seating. Our server was Jasmine and she was sweet, helpful and was constantly coming by to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was phenomenal! My husband had the Nana's Bowl, which he raves about to me and after a few times asking he let me have a bite and boy was it good!! I had the Crackin' Carne Omelet and it was so filling that I couldn't finish it. But it was filled with eggs, carne asada, tomato, onion, and guac. Mmmmmm, so good. I will definitely be coming back! If you want some good food come to 'What's Crackin', you will definitely enjoy it!! read more

We had a great time at What's Cracking. We had some good cold beers after completing a mountain bike ride near the area.The food was great, I had the Birria Benny which it was very flavorful and was the right portion which didn't make me feel like I was stuffed after. The service was great, our server Callie was very nice and welcoming. She took care of our 8 people table in such a way that we never felt we were waiting for anything. The ambiance was right on point for brunch as you would expect on the east valley, the employees were always in a good mood with big smiles, making everyone feel very comfortable. There are many options in the east Valley for mid morning brunch but we would be returning to What's cracking after having such a nice experience!!! read more

Our first visit to What's Crackin Cafe and it was as good. The tater tots we so extra tasty.

Unfortunately the bartenders pour extremely inconsistent drinks. Both are short pours but one of them was an EXTREMELY short pour (like a 2 second pour). Really ripping people off. Update to Owner's Reply: personally watched from the bar seat the two different bartenders (both long hair dirty blondes) make two rounds of drinks -- neither "used a jigger." Poured directly into the glass. I'm sure video would confirm. The second pour was extremely short. Seriously just a splash. read more

Stopped by What's Crackin' after a long hike. Tried the raspberry mimosa and cucumber lemonade (not really a fan of either), the breakfast egg rolls (YES!!!!), and the breakfast burger on a biscuit with a side of gravy, jam, and Korean bbq sauce. Our server was so sweet answering all my questions and sending out a sampler platter of sauces. If the weather permits, recommend sitting on the patio for a cute vibe and some fun music! read more

Hate coming on to leave poor reviews but would rather save people from spending $70 on an extremely subpar meal. To start out the name "what's crackin cafe" is a terrible name for this place as when you walk in it's definitely more of a dive bar vibe. We came for breakfast and ordered the "Greek omlete", the "classic crackin" and two kids pancake stackers. Our kids didn't even bother touching their meals (which is insane bc kids will usually eat anything), their pancakes were super hard and unappetizing. My husband's coffee was super watered down and lukewarm. Both my glass (iced tea) and my husband's both were dirty and had stuff crusted on the inside of the cup. I ordered the Greek omelet and my husband insisted I didn't eat it as he said "it looks like you'd get food poisoning" if I ate it. The omelet was burnt brown and chewy texture. Super off-putting. Not only was every meal pretty repulsive, but it took 45 minutes at least for the meals to come out. Unfortunately, I would strongly not recommend this place to others. read more

The food was average. Service was fine but the music was as horrible and loud! Ruins the experience!

I really Feel Bad for the Owner, unless he is the one cooking. The food is terrible, The Bloody Mary has a real strange taste to it. The fries were cold and seemed soft and the chicken breast cut down to imitate a chicken tender tasted more like fish than chicken. Chicken was so tuff the more you chewed it the bigger it got. Not sure how that happened but it was a bad experience. It was inedible! read more

Seen this place on YELP for months! Friday we stopped in for lunch and was shocked to see it not crazy packed and got a nice seat on the patio. The servers were very nice and friendly they made you feel very welcome. We ordered avocado toast and eggs and bacon and happy we did! The food was very fresh and the server even asked us if we wanted the bacon extra crispy and glad they did because the bacon was very good! We glad we stopped by and for sure will be back. read more

I just tried this place today. I ordered the chilaquiles with barbacoa. Let me tell you. The meat had ZERO flavor!! The appearance and taste was that of meat that was boiled and that's it. There were 0 seasonings, 0 salt, 0 onion, nada. The chips were stale which made it worse. I won't be going back. read more

Great food & service. Will definitely be back!! Love the vibes, it's definitely a "Crackin" place!

The service was amazing everyone was so nice Jenessa is especially great. The environment was overall very nice and a great place for the experience. The only thing that was lacking was the food, it was very modiocre. The fruit parfait that my wife had ordered was still half frozen. Also the drink prices are high but that's expected for brunch spots. read more

We had breakfast here and was greeted by a lively welcoming server named Jasmine G She is AMAZING! High energy, professional and knew the menu well and gave detailed suggestions! We say outdoors at a cushioned patio table with a firepit that was so comfortable and inviting. Stuffed French Toast was delish but the grill Chix croissant was dry and tasteless Nice atmosphere but picked the WRONG dish! I didn't pick one of Jasmine's recommendations! Shame in me! Ask for Jasmine!!! read more

I ordered the seasonal French toast. I typically love all French toast and I'm not even sure what I eating. It was horrible. It looked like undercooked brownie mix with cinnamon. It was mushy and did not even taste like bread. Our server never came back and checked on us to see how our food was or refill our drinks. I would have sent the pile of mush back and ordered something else. Service was slow. We finally went up to the counter to pay our bill because our server was MIA. Won't be coming here again. read more

A couple of my friends and I wanted to try a new Brunch Place that was closer to our area so we decided to give this place a visit! Unfortunately from the get go it wasn't the greatest experience, when we checked in the hostess seemed annoyed which I can definitely understand with such a busy restaraunt. But she decided to show her frustration to many customers and ended our check in with a couple eye-rolls. Our server was amazing though and I wish I remembered her name because she's the reason I'm giving this place more than 1 star. We weren't even sitting for 5 minutes before she came and got our drink order. She checked in on us multiple times even though she had ALOT of tables and made sure everything was coming out in time. Sadly, she can only work as fast as the kitchen gets things out and we waited over 50 minutes even though the restaraunt was starting to empty out by this time. The food was meidocre at best, I requested Chorizo with my bowl but what they gave me was burnt pieces of something I couldn't even taste. There was a silver lining in addition to the server and it was their drinks, if you love mimosas and margaritas this is your place! The bartender is a wiz when it comes to drink making and that made up for the lack of taste in the food. I will try this place again in the future it just won't be any time soon. read more

Not a good lunch unfortunately... My wife's bbq sandwich was only half eaten. She's didn't care for it. I ordered chicken sandwich, fried and Nashville hot. It came as two tenders with barely any hot sauce on them. Had to ask for more. I think sandwiches should be whole breast, I would have just ordered the tenders! I tasted the burnt crust which explained the toughness of them. I asked for a sub of ranch instead of mayo. I got charged $1.79 more for it. Both my wife and I fries were soggy. Sounded like the cook didn't pay much attention to the fryer times of the food. Shame...I always support family establishments but they need to do a bit more consistent training in the back. Mimosas were $6 though!!! read more

Very dog friendly brunch spot. There is a large outdoor space with heaters. The menu has a lot of options. I got a three egg scramble with some veggies, the country fried steak, and sourdough toast. It's very easy to customize. The breading on the country fried steak was a little too peppery for me. The scramble was great. Hubby got the lemon strudel French toast, which was very good, though the portion was on the lighter side. Service was very attentive and prompt. read more

When we walked in the music smacked me in the face!! It's way too loud for this time of day; it's not a nightclub!! Service was good and prompt. Food was okay but nothing to write home about. They don't have a senior or small portion option. Not sure I'll return. read more

Went there for breakfast on a Saturday and was seated immediately by a friendly host. Place was fairly busy but the staff was on it. Sat down and noticed the tables weren't that clean but not completely terrible. We ordered the breakfast casserole, a side of bacon and the order of pancakes with a coffee on the side. Bacon was perfect. Everything we ordered got to the table quick and was delicious. Will definitely be coming back to try out the rest of the menu. read more

The wait staff was great and the price of food was also not bad at all. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the food. I got the stuffed French toast and the cream cheese it was stuffed with was still cold when I ate it. That really threw off the entire French toast. I also tried the breakfast mini chimis, and they were very boring. Couldn't taste any seasoning or flavor, and the side of ranch was boring. Maybe a salsa or chipotle sauce would have been a better side sauce. read more

Saw What's Crackin' on Instagram and was excited to try it out. We were a little disappointed. The iced tea is not good... it tastes like Brisk. The Monte Cristo was soaking wet with oil (wouldn't called it fried), and missing some things that make it a Monte Cristo (i.e. jam, sweetness). It was just nasty. The Breakfast Quesadilla was good, but that's hard to mess up. Our server seemed overwhelmed the entire time and didn't seem knowledgeable about the menu. read more

Very nice brunch destination. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. The selection of Mimosa menu is large. Huge to be honest. It is also a very nice cocktail bar. I have so far enjoyed a gin and tonic made with Hendricks Gin. An Old Fashioned made with Buffalo Trace bourbon that was almost the perfect Old Fashioned. And an incredibly garnished Bloody Mary. I really recommend coming and enjoying both brunch and cocktails! read more

Don't plan to carry on a conversation. The music is crazy loud. The food was merely ok. Service was awful. The waiter completely ignored my husband - didn't bring his water or the hot sauce he asked for. Overall, our visit was super disappointing .

I found myself far from home yesterday and looking for lunch. My only requirement was a patio and WC fit the bill. I found a loveseat covered with pillows when I arrived. Midday on a Tuesday, you seat yourself and I didn't have long to wait before Anthony brought me a menu and setup. I quickly looked over the drinks portion, (apparently they serve alcohol!) but since I was far from home, I went with iced tea. I'd had a craving for french toast for the past few days so I thought I'd give that a shot. The iced tea was fresh and light...and came in a cup they let me keep! My breakfast arrived quickly, two eggs, sausage links, and the aforementioned french toast. I can't confirm where they get their eggs, but they were the eggiest eggs I have ever eaten. Seriously, they were delicious and scrambled perfectly. (Thanks, Chef!! ) The sausage links were so good, I asked Anthony who their vendor was so I could get some for home. (They're from a food distributor. ) The french toast was delicious as well. So good in fact, I didn't even need to use syrup! All in all, I highly recommend WC to anyone looking for great food, service, and relaxed ambience. The inside is a bit on the smaller side so I would imagine it could be loud when full, but they have equal the amount of seats on their covered patio, so you have options. read more

Yum! So many delicious options on the menu. Ordered the nana bowl and a mimosa flight. The bowl was the perfect amount of food for me and served so much flavor.

Callie was a great server and absolutely took care of my group of 9 people outside on the patio!

I don't know what happened in the kitchen when I went, but I was told my food would be 15 minutes, 15 minutes later was told another 15 minutes. Places get busy, sure I get it. But my biscuits and gravy had RAW dough and I was extremely disappointed because the flavor was great! Didn't even care to complain because would I want to wait another 40 minutes for raw dough? Nope! Kitchen get it together read more

Nice little place to grab breakfast. The menu changed a bit and my favorite breakfast is no longer available. They have outdoor seating which is nice. The food was good, service was slow and one of the waitresses had too short of booty shorts on which is inappropriate for a family restaurant. Maybe she was showing off her full length leg tattoo and thought we should all see it and more. read more

Honestly, 1st time here. I don't think I need to go back. Server Jazmine was nice. But really tried to be too nice and asked for us to review her right away. Kinda awkward. Said "beautiful" to us every two seconds. Food.... Someone had a hair in their food. Another had "wet" scrambled eggs. My chicken wrap was mehhh. Chicken had no flavor. There are many other places to go. I don't need mediocre again. Drinks were good. read more
