I've never been to this restaurant before. I needed breakfast and that's what they were offering and it was good!

Except for my waitress the service was not that great. DO NOT go in unless you have cash or check, something I didn't realize until I went to pay

A Carson City institute, the Cracker Box has been doing it right for a long time. I just stopped by while in town for business and ordered the black and Bleu chicken sandwich. The chicken was blackened and grilled just right with a good amount of crispy to it while remaining tender and juicy inside. I got a plate of thin, perfectly crispy fries with my order thst I wasn't able to finish. And all for under 13$. The waitress was nice and helpful, and keeping busy cleaning, running food, and making sure the diner was in order. I'd definitely recommend eating here, but come early as it fills up quickly.
One of note is that this is a CASH ONLY business. There is an ATM inside, but charges 2$ to withdraw cash so bring your own to save.

This was our first time eating here—the food was good, the atmosphere was great, but the service was less than mediocre—our server was more interested in talking to her co-workers than taking care of her customers—she never came back to see how everything was and we had to keep asking for drink refills. This place is definitely not on our list of places to eat at again!!
My wife and I have eaten here several times so far and have always enjoyed our food prepared where we could see. I have found the Cracker Box Diner to be an excellent place locally to enjoy breakfast. We plan to try lunch soon. Addendum: 2026 - My wife died 3 years ago. After her death, I ate at the Cracker Box several times a week for breakfast. I found it to be excellent and the waitresses were friendly and competent. Now, I can recommend it highly as a treasure in Carson City. My review is based on my experience from between 6 to 8 AM.

Great little place to grab breakfast or lunch. The two cooks worked their butts off, super efficient guys. Food was good and we will definitely be back on our next trip to Carson.
