| - I have somewhat mixed feelings about Crackers & Co.
I came her on Memorial Day/my Birthday expecting an above average experience & left slightly disappointed.
- Our Experience: We arrived around 8 AM knowing it would be very busy. Walking in, the restaurant is super cute! The Host stand will be right in front of you, with benches to the side for waiting parties. Country/Chic décor, & a small area to the left of the host stand for take-out orders. Both Hostess' were extremely rude, had attitudes/seemed annoyed with everyone from their coworkers to the customers, & while I'm laying it all out - they both looked dirty. As in, lack of hygiene. Which, started things off on the wrong foot. We ended up sitting on the patio, which was fine since it's shaded and the weather was great that morning! I noticed that there are heaters on the patio for colder mornings which is accommodating for Winter. Our waitress was awesome, but she seemed to be spread a little too thin. Service was a little slow on her part, which her personality made up for! I could see her working extremely hard on other tables, so maybe it was just an understaffed morning. While waiting for our breakfast to arrive the Hostess' kept walking outside calling for the waiting parties. At one point one of the girls called for a party twice, and on the third call for the party, a family came running around the corner apologizing. Her response was "Next time you need to be ready, I almost gave your table away." If that were me in their position, I'd have left. What an unnecessary remark, and a poor way to treat the people who pay your bills. - Once our food came, it was tasty, but my meal was not what I was expecting. I ordered the Carnitas Skillet, thinking the keyword was "Carnitas." I was a little bummed that the majority of my meal was made up of potatoes, I'd say there was about 1.5 ounces of carnitas. If that's how the meal is meant to be prepared, they ought to bring the priced down. $10 for potatoes, a slice of toast, two eggs, & a garnish of Pork carnitas seems a little steep. Luckily, I love potatoes, so I didn't send it back. If I return, I'll try something else.
- Pros: Friendly waitress, shaded patio, lots of parking, clean, & the coffee was good too!
- Cons: Slightly pricey for breakfast food, rude-Rude-RUDE hostess'. Every other hiccup, I'm just going to assume I came on an off day.
My boyfriend & I live about 1/2 a mile from Crackers & I was hoping we could make this a regular breakfast spot, but after our experience, I don't think we'll return for awhile.
