11 Dallas-Area Spots Serving Great Outdoor Cocktails | Eater

"The lively, bustling CraftWay Kitchen might not be as trendy as some other Dallas hotspots, but we like it like that. This friendly, locals-only joint has an open kitchen, a bubbly, helpful staff, and a relaxed atmosphere, with unique touches like local art showcased on the walls. The wide-ranging menu has something for everyone but is all based on the premise that high-quality ingredients translate to high-quality food. For simplicity at its best, try the CW charcuterie platter, a generous helping of seasonally-selected cheeses, cured meats, pickled vegetables, fig jam, and an umami-loaded parmesan lavash cracker. The cocktails are classic, but rely on top-shelf, premium liquors and mixers. For instance, try the Frozen Mule, which uses Grey Goose vodka, fresh lime, and a kicky ginger beer." - Vox Creative

The Best Cocktails to Sip in September in Dallas | Eater

"If you’re looking for a new laid-back neighborhood staple where you can go again and again, look no further than CraftWay Kitchen. This casual restaurant is the kind of place you can roll into wearing what you have on, no jacket or tie required. Sit inside or outdoors and order whatever you’re craving, maybe their Five Spice Baby Back Ribs or a chicken club sandwich. Relax with an equally unpretentious drink. We recommend the Frosé with rosé wine, GREY GOOSE vodka, lemon juice, bergamotto and orange. Another playful treat of a cocktail is the Frozen Old Fashioned. Order yours with ANGEL’S ENVY bourbon." - Vox Creative

Loved having lunch here. Seated quickly with a party of 2 in their covered patio and Andrew was immediately to our table with water and menus. We chose the crab stuff mushrooms for appetizer which was tender, juicy and delicious, highly recommended. I tried the salmon sandwich with bacon which was an odd combo but seemed to work, probably do with that on the side. Skinny fries were excellent too. Another choice was the chicken parmesian with a huge bowl of dipping sauce which was packed with flavor. Highly recommend checking this spot out as the food,l and service was top notch!

What was intially a random pick for dinner, ended up being one of the best experiences I've had in a long time! We ordered Frozen Old fashion, Negroni, chicken sandwich, blue cheese chips, stuffed mushrooms, pasta and the Butternut Squash soup, which was great. the service was even better! I have no words! The food, drinks, atmosphere, customer service was exceptional! Absolutely one of the best places to hang out during the week for casual drinks, great food, and relaxation! Everyone went above and beyond to make our first experience amazing! This is exactly what you look for in a good dining experience. thank you to everyone- the kitchen, the bar, the hostesses, the servers! You guys are the best!! Our go to place from now….

What a great find! We tried CraftWay Kitchen on the recommendation of a fellow foodie friend. The menu didn't feel diverse enough for a family dinner when I was checking it out, but there was enough that swayed me. Once we were seated and saw the seasonal menu, I was sold! We ordered so much, but the plates were ravaged before I could snap pics. My favorites from the starters were the coconut shrimp, reuben egg rolls, and flash fried asparagus. I had to have the butternut squash soup and it was so tasty, but the huge stand out was the Pumpkin Lava Cake with cinnamon ice cream. It was so light and moist, yet decadent and well spiced. I had to ask how long it will be in season, because it will haunt my dreams if I don't get to have it again! My sister-in-law had the chicken parm dip sandwich and loved it. I tried the soup (dip) and it was great! The crab cake was more crab than cake. I would definitely order that again. My wife had the duck breast and really enjoyed it. Now, the service was WONDERFUL. Our server, Andrew, was attentive, helpful, and engaging. He made sure our group was well taken care of, and I never forget a positive service experience. I highly recommend you give this place a visit!

I recently dined at Craftway Kitchen and loved it. The salmon BLT was outstanding fresh flavors and perfectly balanced. The Brussels sprouts were also a standout, not crisp but very flavorful. Blue Cheese chips are a great starter. The neighborhood vibe is cool and relaxed. I appreciated the restaurant’s creative twists on traditional dishes.

Service is always great, we have eaten here dozens of times. The salmon spinach salad is my absolute favorite. We love that they have weekly specials that rotate. The kitchen sometimes (but rarely) has small issues, but the staff always makes it right. Cocktails are always delicious. Looking forward to dining here again soon.

Five stars rating is not enough stars to express my thoughts and feelings regarding my experience at CraftWay Kitchen in Plano. It was my first experience and what a wonderful experience it was. We were welcomed with smiles and immediately seated. Brandon was our server and he was amazing. Polite and Professional. He recommend excellent things from the menu and even informed us of the current specials. The spinach dips was good, however the pork chops were fantastic. The icing on the cake was the croissant bread pudding. Light warm and not overly sweet. It was one amazing experience. I highly recommend.

2nd attempt at eating here, and it was definitely worth it. Food was delicious, service was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy. Minor complaints: 1) - fries do not come with the chicken tenders, you have to order them separately……….why?! Most restaurants always adds the fries with your meal. 2) - they don’t give you enough fries. Sure I chose to get steak fries, which were good, but they didn’t give me enough in that small but cool looking metal container. 3) - prices are a little too high, and the fact that fries were separate also doesn’t help because they didn’t give me that much, and cost an extra $6 instead of being included with my meal. Which just seems like they’re charging me more than usual which in an age of inflation just feels slightly disingenuous. Other than that, I liked this place. I’d definitely recommend eating here, but ask them to cook more fries or, you know, just add them to your meal by default CraftWay. It’s a necessary change that will save you in the long run.

Had a lovely dinner at CraftWay Kitchen at Lakeside Center on Preston Rd in Plano TX. I had an early reservation for 5:30pm with a friend from Frisco.. I like this location which is less than 20 minute drive for me. I was seated right away.. a quiet booth towards the back.. menus were on the table and our server Brandon was right there with water and brought me my usual Prosecco.. My friend arrived a few minutes later.. She was very specific about her drink order and it arrived exactly as she wanted.. Brandon gave us a few minutes to chat and browse the menu.. I appreciated that he was attentive but not intrusive.. I wanted the jumbo lump crab cake with the Brussel sprouts. And I couldn’t have been more pleased with my order.. the crab cake was just right, loaded with crab, loved it!! Brussel sprouts were absolutely the best I’ve had.. tender but not mushy.. perfectly toasted and the carmelized balsamic…so delicious!! We split the cappuccino pie for dessert.. another treat. Drizzled with dark chocolate.. chilled but easy to share. Cost $40++(Prosecco, entree & 1/2 of the dessert).

What can we say, like the other location, this place is great - great food, service, value, vibe. Plus point: No low-class tip suggestions with the tax included like so many places do, and the servers are pros, they do not hover when signing the bill and tip. Good on ya. The only problem is we like it too much and the menu is kind of small after as many visits as we've made there, and we've been through the whole menu. It's ok because we like pretty much everything on it. Keep up the great work.

We were in from out of town and met some friends at Craftway for dinner. We arrived after they did and they had opted to sit on the outdoor patio, which is heated. I am so glad they did, it was quieter outside than inside so we could have a nice conversation. My only gripe, is that the space heaters were quite HOT, and right on your face. The service was great, our friend has some serious food allergies and our waiter was kind and patient, ensuring no EpiPens were needed. I had the steak and it was cooked just as requested and the mashed potatoes were good, not great, but it could have done with a veg option. They have a good selection of beer/wine/liquor and I would definitely come back again,

Stopped in for a quick happy hour! Let me just say I really like CraftWay Kitchen. The FROSÉ is absolutely delicious. It's a great frozen cocktail. Happy Hour Pricing is even better. This is a favorite and my go to cocktail. I had to order one of these first. Today I also tried the mini FROZEN FLIGHT sampler! This was fun and I truly enjoyed it. You get four 3ounce samples. I had the seasonal Spiced Sangria. The frozen Old Fashioned. The frozen Paloma. And of course my fave the frozen FROSÉ. All of them were good. The Paloma was probably my second favorite. I highly recommend trying this flight. I would get it again and again. Since I wasn't eating an entree today. I opted for some good ole steak fries. They are thick and well seasoned. They came out hot and ready. Service was great! My waiters are always funny and friendly. Ambiance was very pleasant. I loved the simple fall decorations. It really livened up the place and made it feel like an autumn day inside. Another very good visit! I left happy and satisfied!

Craftway Kitchen is extremely popular for a reason. We had a table outside, which was seasonally decorated and fun with surrounding holiday lights. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. I ordered a chicken Cobb salad which was generously portioned with extremely fresh ingredients. The French onion soup came with a delicious and generously sized puff pastry on top. It was equally excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Our waitress GiGi was absolutely incredible..we were in town awaiting the birth of our granddaughter and stopped in for lunch...I had the grilled Cobb and my wife had the shrimp salad...both were exceptional...we told GiGi the reason we were in town....when she brought the check she also brought us a dessert to congratulate us...will definitely come back again.

When I was here last month, I was brought to this location by the group that I was with, and the food was delicious. So when I had to return this month for some training, I brought the individual I was traveling with here. Great service from our server, Caleb, he was friendly and outgoing and truly displayed great hospitality. Their menu has so many great things on it that it is hard to choose just one item. Because I wasn't that hungry. I decided to go with a salmon bowl. This, in my mind, is actually the perfect portion sizing for dinner as it was a nice piece of salmon perfectly cooked and season by the way, on top of a small bit of cilantro rice with some tomatoes , avocado, red onion, and arugula. Truly the perfect portion size and I devoured everything on the plate.

The service and atmosphere of this place is a delight but the food fell short of the greatness I expected. Both the french toast and the tacos lacked proper flavor that one would expect. The food was so beautiful but the beauty did not go beyond a cute pic. We had fun and the drinks were good but I think next time we will try some lunch options.

Staff was super friendly. Restaurant was nice and clean, including the bathrooms. Food could've used more flavor, but a dash of Crystal's hot sauce helped to balance out the flavor. The frosé is delicious!

Food was decent and the wait staff was friendly. Ambiance was that of a small bistro and it was an open floor plan in the dining room next to a large bar. Lots of people moving around though which did feel crowded at times. They also offer patio seating and the area is upscale. I got the fish and chips and my wife got the French dip and we split both meals between us. I thought the sandwich was better and my wife felt both were greasy and didn't enjoy the food as much. Prices were higher than I expected and I spent more than $50 for lunch which to me was too high. I am not sure if we will be back but I am glad we tried it.

What a great first time here! Our server, Jade, was simply amazing! Sweet, kind, attentive, and gave us some great info on the menu and what to try. My husband had the breakfast plate, and I opted for the baby back ribs and skinny fries. Both were fantastic. Their Bloody Mary was awesome, too. We were able to get in Saturday for brunch with no wait. The atmosphere was great, and we will definitely be back. Give Jade a raise because she sold us on this place!

Service- is good Ambiance- Dark and comfortable. More of a neighborhood haunt with uncomfortable seats than a fancy restaurant. No need to dress up here. Quite loud and crowded even on a weekday. Food- Calamari for the app. It's not cut or prepared properly. Very chewy. The only seasoned food was the batter and the red sauce that came with it. Beef Wellington was all wrong. CHEESE does not belong in a beef wellington! It tasted like an under seasoned cheese steak. The steak was rare and flavorless. I ordered it medium. They cut it to attempt to sear it to medium- fail. No puff in that puff pastry. The kitchen needs to work on technique and flavor. I think the 4.5 stars comes from drunk people because the frozen drinks are delicious.

Wow this place is pretty incredible! They have such a varied menu from pastrami and chicken sandwich to more elevated offerings like filet and beef Wellington. It's like casual fine dining as my husband says. The vibe is nice and the service is really good. We enjoyed pretty much everything but the only issue of the night was the pork chops. They were way too salty and too tough. They did offer to remake or make a different entree and eventually they comped us for that. The front house manager even came to speak to us which shows intentionality and a commitment to maintaining high standards. They were very apologetic and noted that they will pass that comment on. Some of the highlight dishes for me were the crab stuffed mushrooms, croissant bread pudding, beef Wellington and the blackened redfish. I look forward to returning to try more items! We made a reservation but was out there in an hour 15 minutes which feels fast for this kind of restaurant!

I can see why Craftway has so many positive reviews. However, after visiting many times in the past few years I would honestly would give it 3 1/2 stars. Here's what I like: I like the overall energy, it's warm and friendly and service is good. I like the cocktails and wine list. I did enjoy my entree which was the steak salad. Steak was cooked exactly as I ordered and was tasty. What I think is a miss-the salmon is consistently overcooked. Not a lot, maybe a couple of minutes but in those minutes salmon goes from juicy to dry. Another miss for me is the noise level-it is SO hard to have a conversation here! My ears were still ringing after I left the restaurant. This really affects my enjoyment level.

Our Ahi Tuna and the two fish dishes, Red & Flounder were phenomenal. But to top it off was the above and beyond service. I requested an espresso of which they did not have, and the manager went next door to Starbucks and bought one for me. Amazing!

So it's been over a year since I was here and I love the new changes. They now dim the lights and we went around 7pm. There are no words for how delicious this food is and I haven't had anything bad yet. That salmon bowl is a must and I never order salmon out at restaurants but it was highly recommend by our server Brandon. Brandon was very attentive and even switched out my glass half way through my drink to keep it cold. That's top notch customer service and I love the fact that you can see the teamwork in the building. The strawberry 75 was my favorite! I have got to come back more often!

Me and my family came in for Sunday dinner and it was great choice. First time in they gave us a complimentary appetizer which was good! Homemade potato chips loaded with blue cheese sauce and bacon. Caleb our waiter was very helpful, attentive, and friendly. All of our entrees were really good. Well cooked and seasoned. We had no complaints. We also received a generous military discount for my Dad. Super sweet hostess as well. A nice a restaurant a little dark, not loud. Overall we enjoyed it

What a great restaurant in Plano! Last weekend some friends and and I decided to check out Craftway Kitchen in Plano and discovered that this was a gem of a restaurant. They have a super welcoming environment and a vibrant restaurant scene. There is an outdoor patio and plenty of indoor seating. The restaurant was lively and great vibes. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The dishes are very reasonably priced but more importantly, tasted amazing and had good portion size . I had a chicken fig sandwich with brussels sprouts which was healthy but also tasted so good! They have a great wine and beer selection also. We had a fabulous evening and I definitely recommend Craftway Kitchen for anyone looking to have a great meal with friends.

It was our first time eating at this establishment. They have a recent health score of 92 from the Plano Health Dept. We decided to stop by there on Saturday around 5:15. The eatery was quite busy. They also have a patio for those who wish to dine outside. We were seated inside within 5 minutes. We were greeted by a cheerful server named Logan. Our best description of this restaurant decor is it is an upscale Chili's. We wanted a light meal, so we ordered Cajun pasta, spinach dip, crab stuffed mushrooms and a pineapple martini. Overall, the food was good. The food is pricey for what is offered on the menu. I would classify the food as average in comparison to the same type of offerings with area competing restaurants. The service from the server was very good. Personally, I like my nearby Chili's better.

Craftway is my absolute favorite non-fine-dining restaurant in the area. It's my go-to recommendation any time someone is looking for a good place to eat. I've tried half of the menu and I can honestly say that I've never had a dud. I appreciate that they keep adding new items from time to time to always give me a fresh reason to go back. My only complaint is that it's not closer to my house! My favorite appetizer is probably the calamari, but I also love the spinach dip and we frequently order the blue cheese chips. Most of their appetizers can be done in half sizes too! In case nobody wants to split one with you, ask your waiter for a half size. My go-to order is the cajun shrimp pasta. It's literally perfect. Lots of spice and flavor, unlike the ones you've probably tried before. I also make it a point to come on Mondays for Meatloaf monday (with extra gravy) because that dish is SO GOOD. The french dip is excellent, as are all of the sides we've tried. Mac n Cheese, perfectly seasoned steak fries (they also have skinny), mashed potatoes, you really can't go wrong. Craftway truly has something for everyone on the menu. I cannot think of another restaurant that I've recommended more than Craftway kitchen. It's a must, if you're in the area. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Price: 4/5

Popped in for a late lunch/early dinner around 4pm. The ambience is nice and casual with games on the tv screens but also people sitting at tables chatting with friends! I started with a frozen paloma- which was yummy and strong. For food I ordered the cajun chicken past with shrimp and the chicken tender appetizers. I knew I wanted to cut up the chicken tenders and add it to the pasta-- it was delicious!!! I can't remember my server's name but he was very attentive! I will definitely be back!

I don't know if I'm ordering the wrong thing or what, but they always almost hit the mark with me when it comes to the food. I got the steak and double eggs, no potatoes. The steak wasn't cooked medium for sure, had no seasoning, only the taste of the grill. Like char. The eggs were so pretty, I could taste the butter, but I'm pretty sure they were powered. The best thing on the plate was the bacon. During my other visits, I will say the drinks didn't disappoint. I believe it was the Frozen Flight. Also, please get the pineapple martini! Oh and I must say, every waitress that has served us, is so pleasant, so nice, very accommodating and welcoming. Just happy all around.

Robert G.

Yelp
It wasn't as good as I remembered. It's been a couple of years since my last visit. The service was solid but the noise inside was on the loud side. The candied bacon was ok - it was incredible in the past. Both steak were charred and really dry. Overcooked based on what was requested. The steaks reminded me of how my dad tried to cook steaks when I was a kid - nice attempt but there are reasons why he didn't become a chef. Two of us experienced significant stomach issues after dining. Maybe some type of cross contamination? I went because of the great past memories. But after this experience I don't think I'll go there again. Just no longer the exceptional food it once served.

5 star! This was my first time having beef wellington and I really liked it! I may have changed my mind on not eating rare steak. The pasta was really good, too! I really appreciated that they split up both entrees as my boyfriend and I were sharing food. The server was sweet and we got our food fast. (Too fast that we couldn't finish our game of mancala lol) My boyfriend is a Shirley temple connoisseur and he rated this one top 3. I can't wait to eat here again!

We made a reservation and arrived a bit early on a Saturday evening. o problem, table was ready. Brandon greeted us and brought water and took our drink order. The restaurant was very busy, it seems every table was occupied. Brandon was very attentive without being pushy. We ordered crab stuffed mushrooms and tuna nachos as appetizers. Both were fantastic. For entree we had salmon cakes w/mac n' cheese, smoked duck breast with Parmesan risotto and salmon with asparagus. The food was PHENOMENAL - hot, flavorful and simply fantastic. Brandon kept checking on us and clearing the table as needed. A really great experience overall. Thank you CraftWay Kitchen team!!

Well my waitress was very good and the drinks were delicious. I ordered a Beef Wellington and it was around 50$. I ordered it medium. It came out very rare and already cut so they could see it was rare. I took a nibble off the end and it was great. But it was so rare it was chewy. So the girl took it back and it came back so week done that it was grey. The crust was then all soggy and it was just gross. I ate it. It was $50 but Was not like any Wellington I ever had. The waitress gave me a $15 coupon for next time. ( I didn't ask and I didn't complain again) so they knew it wasn't good. The mashed potatoes were divine, the Mac and cheese just ok. So was a big disappointment all around.

Craftway kitchen is becoming one of my favorite restaurants in the DFW area. I've been 3 times so far and the food has been consistently amazing each time! Everything is well seasoned, great portions, and delicious. I love the variety of food they offer. If you're a fan of bread pudding, this is the place for you. Easily the best bread pudding I've had at a restaurant! As far the restaurant itself, I haven't sat inside yet so my opinion is solely based on the patio. Everything is clean, the ambiance is nice and casual. The service is fine. The waiters aren't super attentive, there were times I've had to ask for silverware, water refills, etc. However, I've had worse service at other establishments so I wouldn't let that deter me from returning. The food is always out fast and it speaks for itself.

This is probably one of my new favorite restaurants in the area. The cocktails are great, the service is great, it was fairly crowded for a Tuesday evening when I went but everyone seemed to be enjoying the space, the food is phenomenal. At my table we ordered a little bit of everything from the chicken parm dip (dipping the sandwich into tomato soup is just genius), fish and chips, and I had the blackened shrimp pasta. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better dinner. I have been back a few times since I first went with my friends and I've always had a good time.

To the unrefined palate (ie my 7 year old), this was not a hit. Too much flavor in the asparagus and mashed potatoes! To the adults, huge hit! We're getting a babysitter next time. Service (Isabel) was also great. Frozen flight, french dip, chicken fingers and spinach dip were awesome.

Yelp
Craftway used to be exceptional. I was genuinely impressed by both the service and the food. Even the mediocre indoor atmosphere felt forgivable because everything else was top notch. Now, the experience feels average at best. The food is no longer memorable, just "pretty good" or "decent." Service remains excellent, but that's the only thing that hasn't slipped. The floors inside were so dirty they were actually slippery. It felt strange and unsafe. My fish was overcooked. The Brussels sprouts were overwhelmed by an overly sweet maple glaze. My son's French fries tasted stale, like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp all afternoon. Even the mac and cheese, once addictive, tasted off. Different, and not in a good way. Craftway is still a decent spot, but it's no longer one I recommend or think of often. Maybe the packed dining room means others don't notice the decline, or they never experienced how good it used to be.

Stopped in with the girlfriend after discovering that Bread Winner's hours were not what were posted. Ordered the fried asparagus for appetizer, had the salmon salad, she had the pastrami Rueben and tomato soup. There was a bit of a mix up around who the server would be, no biggie, it was his second day. But it did take a fair amount of time for the right server to arrive and for us to get waters. The asparagus was really good, but almost half of it was the tough part of the asparagus and nearly inedible. Her soup was good, with a bright citrus taste to it. My salmon salad was really good, though the salmon flavor was a bit dominated by the taste of burnt wood. Her Rueben was incredibly bland, the Russian dressing had no zing, the sauerkraut was flavorless, and the pastrami tasted more like a smoked brisket than a proper pastrami. It's a shame because a Rueben is a TON of calories so if you are going to eat one, you want to enjoy it. The real standout though was... the fries? They had a perfect, crisp outside with a soft inside, burying with potato taste, minimal grease, and a decent amount of salt (though my personal preference is more salt). As I like to say, "price sets expectations" and this meal was rather pricey by the standards of the other meals I have been eating in the area. And what we got just did not live up to those expectations. Asparagus could have been great if they gave us 6 or 8 stalks and chopped off the tough half. The Rueben - which was cooked perfectly - needed someone who has been to New York City, Chicago, or Montreal to smarten them up on what brand of pastrami to buy and how to make a great Russian (or thousand island) dressing. If I am paying near $20 for a sandwich and it is a 1,500 calorie event before we even look at the appetizer or side, it needs to be the platonic ideal of a sandwich, not the shadow puppet on the cave wall.

I've fallen in love - with a french onion soup. OMG guys- it's the best one I've had in the area. It comes out beautiful with this Channing Tatum hotness of a crust and the soup itself - let's just say if it were between this soup and a night with Chris Evans....ok....I'd take the night with Chris Evans and eat the soup in bed with Chris. It's the ultimate dream. It's cheesy and delicious and on a scale of Steve Buscemi to Hugh Jackman - Wolverine takes this one. Enjoy!

Hands down, this restaurant is superb! I ate here twice. The food, customer service, and atmosphere were consistent. The chicken and fig sandwich is very delicious! The combination of flavors is unique and flavorful. The beef wellington is delicious. I don't know if it can light a match to Gordon Ramsey's, because I haven't tried his. My mother ate the chicken and waffle. She said she enjoyed it. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Amazing!!!! Spectacular! Outstanding! My mom took me here for my birthday brunch and everything was more than we could hope for. Service was top notch and the food was the best I have had in a long time. You need to come here and get their breakfast burger and breakfast tacos!

Our first time here and we were so impressed by the food. Everything was reasonably priced and the food was delicious. Ambiance: Casual TVs at the bar for sports Medium sized dining area. Good for groups up to 8 Appetizers: 1) Candied Bacon 2) French Onion Soup (to split) Entrees 1) Blackened Redfish with a side of Brussels sprouts 2) Chimmichurri Steak with a bed of fluffy of lime rice For everything we ordered, we were out of there for about ~$100 (minus tips). Our server was super sweet and had the kitchen split the French Onion soup into 2 bowls for us! Very unexpected, but appreciated! The candied bacon is definitely something you do not want to miss. Each bacon was caramelized to perfection. The chimmichuri steak was very tender! I would order it again. The blackened redfish was really good as well!

First time trying this place and it's so delicious. It did not disappoint. Really please with my happy hour frozen Paloma. The food was just as flavorful and delicious. The Cajun pasta chicken has so much flavor, the pasta was perfectly creamy and the bell peppers were perfectly cooked - not wilted at all, still had a nice crunch. The French dip sandwich was also a great choice and they did not skimp on the meat. 10/10 would come here again! Service is friendly and attentive. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great place for lunch, dinner, or a casual date.

Now I know why everyone keeps talking about and recommending Craftway Kitchen! I met a friend here for lunch. There's not a lunch specific menu, but I didn't care because there were plenty of options. In fact, the menu reminded me of what you'd see on offer at any clubby business lunch place in a downtown metropolitan area. I chose the ahi tuna bowl. You only have to glimpse at the photo to know how impressive it was. Let me tell you it was delicious also. I had tea, my friend had a frozen old fashioned (which I would have loved to try but alas one of us - me - had to go back to the office!) I'm definitely coming back and bringing my husband with me next time.

What a nice little tucked away spot for brunch and good eats! The staff here is friendly and offers exceptional service. Very good insight to the menu and drink options . I did the chicken parm sandwich which came with dipping sauce . Very unique and nothing I've never tried before. Imagine a chicken sandwich with roasted tomato soup dipping sauce . I added the Thai chili brussel sprouts which was very tasty . I also added a blackberry splash cocktail and they made it strong just like i like it. A very nice experience. I enjoyed the menu options and I'm looking forward to the next visit to try something new!

This is a follow up to a rather dismal review I left a couple of monghs ago for ctraftway kitchen. Specifically really bad service. Following that teview the owner sent me an enail apologizing. It included a gift certificate. So we finally went back to use the gift certificate. And had a completely different and much better service experience. We both ordered the steak. And it was very good. And our wsitress was at the top of her game. A very good experience. We'll be back!

The service was awesome! We got the best service ever. The food was incredible! My daughter and I were able to split the meal. We were so full We had to pass on dessert but it was "Happy Hour" so we went with a glass of Frose. That topped the whole experience off.
