Guest reviews

Don’t take our word for it.

Real words from real guests across all three Crafty locations.

“Best burgers in the area.”

Great Hamburgers, fries, onion rings and bread pudding. The buns are made fresh daily and you can tell they are. The fried pickles appetizer was a great start. Don’t pass this place up.

“Love their Burgers and sides too!”

We are locals and come here often when we want a GREAT burger..and it has been that way for many years. Their macaroni and cheese, onion rings, apple slaw are delish.

“Gouda sticks”

Gouda sticks, that is the end of the review.

“Amazing!!!”

We had a large group and they were so accommodating. The food was top notch and the service extraordinary.

“Excellent and gluten free friendly!”

Great patio with a sunset view. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads are great. Highly recommend!

“Best Burger We Have Found In the Area!”

We all thought that the burgers were the best we have had in a long time and in the area! We will return.

“Delicious burgers and chicken”

Everything arrived after about 10 mins, and cooked exactly as expected… It was all a huge portion and really good. Would definitely order this again.

“Burgers don’t get any better than here.”

The hamburgers are all made fresh. The ingredients are all fresh including the bun. Very good!

“Great Date Afternoon”

Best date afternoon with my spouse!! Great 80’s music… I had the chicken sandwich with bacon jam - yummy!

Awesome food, friendly staff, innovative menu and a great value. We have been many times and will continue to go.
