“Do you serve crackers?”/“We serve everybody.”

The word “cracker” has several meanings. “Do you serve crackers?”/“We serve everybody” is a popular joke.
 
“Do you serve crabs here?”/“We serve anyone. Sit down,” “Do you serve fishcakes?,” “Do you serve women at this bar?”/“No, you have to supply your own” and “We don’t serve black people.”/“That’s OK. I don’t eat them” are similar jokes.
     
 
Wikipedia: Cracker (term)
Cracker, sometimes cracka or white cracker, is a racial epithet directed towards white people, used especially with regard to poor rural whites in the Southern United States. Although commonly a pejorative, it is also used in a neutral context, particularly in reference to a native of Florida or Georgia (see Florida cracker and Georgia cracker).
     
1 April 1995, Washington (DC) Post, “Puttin’ On The Ritz” by Phil McCombs, pg. C7, col. 1:
Apparently there’s this TV show called, “In Living Color,” and they portrayed what might have happened if George Bush went into a soul food restaurant.
 
Bush orders chili and asks the waitress, “Do you serve crackers?”
 
“Why sure, honey,” she says. “We serve anybody!”
