Great food and a fun atmosphere with all the t v's. The Chicken Tenders are worth the trip by themselves. So tender and breading was perfectly seasoned. Hubby had the Cali Chicken sandwich and it was fantastic! Piled high with goodies. A must get. Service was fast and pleasant, considering they were extremely busy. Great beer selection.

Great food and wonderful service. We had a large party but everything was quick and accurate - Rachel did a great job! She was unfazed by all dozen of us, even with our small kids. The poutine was great, the brisket was incredibly tender. Speaking of tender, the chicken tenders were great too - give the inferno CPH sauce a try, it's quite good. The blackberry mule was great, really liked that. We sat outside, and got seated straightaway even with a large party.

Stopped here after spending the day out in town and it has a dog friendly patio which is what caused us to stop by. Everything about this restaurant was amazing. The service the food and how easy it is to talk with little noise. They had tvs out on the patio and on a day like today it was great to sit out and enjoy the weather. The waitress brought our dog a water and a treat upon paying. The chicken pot pie was absolutely amazing and made me nostalgic to my younger days. The salad was great I would say it would be even better with diced eggs. Lastly the sweet tea and bloody Mary were both very good. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return.

Good beer menu and bar food. Spacious, including the bar. Clean throughout. Nice people working there and pushing(generously sampling) local $6-7 beers. I have gotten a few of the menu items and the food looked and tasted good.

I'm so glad this came up in our search for a good place to eat. We were originally going to Danny's BBQ but they were closed on New Year's Day. As much as I was looking forward to their brisket, I'm glad we found a new place in the area. We had hoped to try the country fried steak, but they were out. We got the shepherds pie instead and a French dip. Both were amazing with generous portions of meat. The hand cut fries were great as well as the sweet potato fries. I highly recommend Craft's if you're in the area. It's a solid $20 per person, but the portions and quality are well worth it. My only complaint was that NC State was short changed with their signage above the restroom entrance. 🤪

Had lunch. Really great service. Chicken cordon blue was fantastic. It's not like your standard cordon blue; all of the ham, cheese, etc. is on top of fried chicken. Really great. Cheese burger and sweet potato fries on pretzel bun. Burger was cooked "juuuuust right" my daughter said. Wife got a crispy chicken sandwich and a wedge salad. The sandwich was lightly breaded, with great juice. They also have a ridiculous bakery (see pics). Highly recommend.

So I have been tothis spot 3 times in the last month. Their food is always fresh and hot I even had to go back the next day to try their breakfast and again the food was great. Their staff is very professional and caring and makes sure that you are happy with your experience. I would highly recommend Their spare ribs 😋 😀 it's always tender and falls off the bone good!!!

We were visiting Cary and chose this restaurant because it welcomed dogs. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Our Frenchie, Queso, quickly became the center of attention—and he absolutely loved it. Despite how busy they were, our server was excellent and stayed on top of everything. The food was outstanding, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. When we return to Cary, this will definitely be one of our first stops. I highly recommend giving it a try; you won’t be disappointed.

We had a fabulous dinner here. Rafaella was fantastic, she was super busy but was very attentive and took great care of us while we dined. We liked how well the staff seemed to get along and help each other out. Our food and cocktails were delicious! We liked being able to dine on the patio with our dog. We look forward to going back!
