What reviewers say

Tasting Table ranked them first of 13 cracker brands, saying they are small, salty and very crisp, close to a wheat cracker, with a savory onion and garlic note. Dietitian Samantha Cassetty, writing for Food Network, likes the short ingredient list and the filling 17-cracker serving. Mashed was cooler, placing them mid-pack as fine but plain, though a fair swap for Wheat Thins fans avoiding added sugar.
