The go-to breakfast place in Carson. Great early morning atmosphere and Siovhan and Billy are the best. Great food and GREAT service. A little pricey but you definitely don't get cheated, and supporting a local place with a lot of history is worth it.

Definitely one of the tastiest breakfast spots in Carson City but you do need to be aware that it is a CASH ONLY establishment. They do have an ATM but of course, there is a fee to use it. Seating is limited and so it really isn't a good option for a group of more than 4 people. That said, my wife and I always include the Cracker Box in our rotation of eateries we like to frequent and mainly because the food really is that good. Really tastes like good home cooking with big portions and with a nice old school diner style atmosphere. I personally love the enchilada omelette whenever it's available and my wife loves their linguica, scallion and cheese omelette but there's a host of other good dishes that we enjoy as well. My only reason for pulling back from a full 5 stars is because of the service. Most of the time, it's excellent but there have been more than a few occasions where it's been just okay. On our most recent visit, our waitress was very polite and nice but just not very attentive. We got seated quickly, got coffee fast but then, she was gone. After we got our order, she was just nowhere to be found. And, I would have been understanding of this if they were super busy like they typically are on a weekend but, this was a Tuesday morning and there were plenty of empty tables. That said, I wouldn't discourage you from dining here - just be aware there are times when the service is less than stellar.Parking: There aren't a whole lot of parking spots right next to the restaurant but then, there aren't a whole lot of seats inside of it. If you're willing to walk a bit, there plenty more to be found.

Enjoyed my experience. The food was good and so was the service. The atmosphere is very much the neighborhood Diner feel. Very comfortable. If you prefer a more private or isolated seating, the experience is probably not for you.

Was seated and 10 minutes later still not waited on. People who were seated after me started getting their food….so I left and went to Red Hut.
