My boyfriend and I came on a Tuesday evening and it was busy, I could see why! The parking is sparse with apartments and 50 west nearby but it was a nice night for a short walk. The outdoor seating was packed so we sat inside with simple decor and a casual bar. The workers were friendly and helpful. We asked for recommendations and our server gave us some great options. The food was delicious, especially the lemon chicken entree, but the small plates were overpriced for the portions. However, for the quality of the food, we will come here again! read more

101 Craft Kitchen - Mexican street corn, crab cakes, fried green tomatoes, lemon chicken - New American Near Me - Mason, Ohio

Deerfield has yet another great addition in 101 Craft Kitchen. We stopped by for brunch after church on a Su day and it was a great choice. First of all, the space is amazing; it's open yet tastefully designed. For starters, we shared their homemade BBQ chips. I was informed it was served with ranch but noticed they charge $1 for it which seems nitpicky. It would make more sense to just add it to the price of the dish. For our mains, I went with Creole steak and eggs and hubs the Apple skillet with a side of eggs. His was essentially French toast that was prepared in a cast iron pan and the apples were delectable. The accompanying apple and bacon was perfection. My dish was essentially an egg Benedict served on a fried green tomato and topped with a filet (that was definitely not med-rare as requested) and served with a divine Creole sauce. We both ordered their rooibos mocktail which was so good that I wish they sold it. It's the perfect summertime tea. I ordered their peach butter cake to go but it did not live up to the quality of the rest of the meal so I would skip that. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and will be back try additional items on the menu. read more

Second visit to Craft Kitchen now that it's been open for several months and I have to admit this is now one of my favorites for brunch! The menu is great and the price point is solid. We tried the steak and eggs with the fried green tomato, fish and chips and the avocado toast and everyone absolutely loved their food. The sauce with the steak and eggs was delicious and the avocado toast was fancy and delightful. I cannot wait to return! Also the manager was so pleasant! He stopped by our table several times when he noticed my step dad was a Purple Heart. We loved his energy! read more

Amazing food awaits you at 101 Craft Kitchen! But, don't make them wait. The amazing: - Fish and chips: might be close to the best I've had in the area, and GF? Tell me I'm dreaming! They make deliciously garlicy tartar sauce, 1 of 2 places where it's edible, I usually don't like tartar. Slaw was very good, but had onion, which was surprising and I haven't decided how to feel about it. - Apple butter cake: definitely a dessert worth consuming. - Service: our waitress was excellent, fun personality, said she was an industry veteran, it was apparent. The not as amazing: - Brussels sprouts were overdone. Who wants to taste burnt/char flavor? Also did not like how they were cut up, felt awkward. - All these GF meals and no GF desserts? Contact Paleo Primal Sweets! - Their late policy. I didn't make the rez, my husband did, but he was sharing the details about it on our way in, and it is very strict. So educate yourself and be prepared! We doubled our travel time here to be early and not kicked out of a meal! I liked the ambiance, but felt they needed real plants, or at least better looking fake plants. :) It was almost like being in a bigger version of Greenhouse Cafe in Lebanon, but more modern industrial leaning. 101 Craft Kitchen is one of the best new restaurants in the area. I love that they change out their menu seasonally, but will be sad to see the Fish & Chips go! read more

I like that they make everything in-house. The best was the peach butter cake. I'd recommend trying that if you're there. We weren't the biggest fans of the chicken bacon ranch flatbread. It was a very thin and crispy crust with minimal cheese and toppings. We did enjoy the hot honey chicken sandwich. It came with a strong recommendation from the server and we now know why. It was very fresh, had some fun flare with the pimento and pickles, but it was quite messy. We joked that it wasn't a first date food. Neither my friend nor I preferred the texture of the lamb kebabs, though. Cooked well on the outside but felt mushy on the inside. read more

I had a hard time deciding my rating for this restaurant. I genuinely think it was some of the best service I have received dining in a long time - from the moment you walk in to leaving - all of their staff is well trained and it shows. The restaurant was huge and beautiful and very clean. The plating for the food was stunning! However, the flavor in a lot of the dishes was lacking. I personally ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich and enjoyed that, but really wasn't a fan of the side corn pasta. The green tomatoes I did enjoy. I had tried some of the other dishes at the table: the lemon chicken we did not enjoy. The flavor was definitely off and the sides didn't really bump up our opinion of the dish. The soba bowl was okay, but once again just not hitting the mark. The crab cakes did get better reviews by the table but I didn't have a chance to try them. Overall, the meal looked great, but the taste didn't match the view. I do think the restaurant itself seems to lean a little more high end with the service and ambiance and plating but the ingredient quality didn't rise to the same level. I would definitely try again to see some of the other dishes! read more

My friends and I really enjoyed the food here. It was all delicious, well made and fresh. I'm already craving the Ale & Cheddar soup and the parm crusted chicken again. Our server, Melissa, was great! Friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. The rest of the staff we interacted with were awesome as well, whether they seated us, brought our drinks, or cleared out dishes, they were all very kind. The only issue is that it is very loud. This is definitely not a place for a quiet, intimate dinner. The sound carries, especially when there are large parties, and it can be hard to hear your dining companions, let alone your server. Other than that, we were thoroughly impressed and will give it another shot. The good and service were worth the noise! read more

Our first time here. Our server Bailey was not only on the spot as a server, but she gave great recommendations on this wonderful menu. My wife had the pizza flatbread and I had the apple blueberry pancake cake yummy wonderful thing and we split a wedge salad. That was very nice. read more

Great new find! Friendly and prompt service with a great menu and made from scratch kitchen. We found many vegetarian-friendly options and went with a selection of apps and small plates to split. The gnocchi was my favorite dish! Curious to try the plantain bowl next time read more

We had amazing service from beginning to end. We were grateful for no wait time to be seated and the prices seemed similar to all the other restaurants in the area. My favorite item was the gnocchi! read more

Great experience. We went middle of the day so not crowded. Friendly service, great service and greeted and spoke with kind manager. Nice, clean decor, bright and fireplaces inside, me likey. Cocktails we had champagne margarita and harvest moon margarita. Both were good but harvest moon was winner. My cousin and I split several items so we could have a real tasting. The kitchen split it all for us except the fish. We didn't have to ask. We had crab&roasted toast, 101 Wedge, Jumbo shrimp po boy and fish and chips. We liked everything! The crab toast amazing, fish and chips, yes but I do think portion small compared to other places that do a good fish and chips. Bottom line, we'll be back. read more

Just as good as I remember, this is a sister location to the one in Indy. We loved it there and I enjoyed my first visit to the one in Mason. Staff was friendly and efficient. I ordered a burger m came out cooked to my requested temp, served as I asked without a bun. Fries were hot and a good size serving, not so big that it seems wasteful but not so small that you feel it was skimpy. It's a cool industrial vibe, and you can walk around outside in the ever more populated shopping and entertainment in that promenade area. I would definitely go back. read more

Clean, enjoyable environment. Service was helpful and kind. Our meals were served piping hot, perfectly prepared, and best of all delicious! Be sure to try the breakfast potatoes if you visit. They are seasoned and cooked to perfection: crispy and well browned on the outside, creamy and smooth inside. You'll find little bits of roasted onion and sun-dried tomatoes inside that fabulous little cup of potato goodness, as well! Down the street from First Watch, better than First Watch. And we like First Watch! Please open a location in Lexington, KY! read more

Love this new place in Mason. My wife and I had lunch here with friends and really enjoyed it. It has a nice atmosphere. All of the food is made in house and the service was very good for a Saturday lunch. I had the Casado Bowl with Blackened Chicken. The bowl had black beans, corn, guacamole, plantains and I am sure a few other things I am forgetting. It was tasty. My wife had the Roasted Beet and Apple Salad. She said it was very good. This is a nice sit down restaurant with a large menu. We will come back and try something new the next time. read more

101 craft kitchen exceeded our expectations! The sun-dried tomato ricotta with focaccia bread is a must.. the flavor is amazing. We also tried the apple and beet salad, lemon chicken sandwich, Mac and cheese, schnitzel and blue cheese potato's.. everything was delicious and we all left very happy we gave Craft Kitchen a chance! Also the kids meal came on a plastic tray which was so helpful for our messy toddler. We will definitely be back! read more

Two different experiences. Each excellent. Terrific new family owned and operated restaurant. Two seniors tasting the following: Fried green tomatoes with pork belly (divine!) Creole Pork chop (delicious) Peach butter cake ( you gotta try it) Molten chocolate pudding cake (all season favorite) Service was superb. Each dish very well presented. Has become an instant go to for a well above average meal at a reasonable price. read more

First time here! The food took a little while, which was expected since it's a scratch kitchen--everything is made to order and absolutely worth the wait. We ordered the wings, buffalo chicken mac, and lemon chicken (grilled instead of fried due to a soybean allergy), and everything was delicious. The service and staff were also wonderful. Great ambiance and music in background they also have tvs to watch sports! We'll definitely be back! read more

We placed a takeout order while on a roadtrip to eat in the car quickly and it was DELICIOUS! Timing was great with when they said it would be ready and everything was hot & fresh. I got the Pecan Chicken which was very good and on the sweeter side if you like that. definitely recommend this place, we'll be stopping again since it's convenient on the way to Pittsburgh for us. read more

A fun place to grab a bite. The staff were super and the food was well worth the price. The music and vibe I appreciated. 10/10 would eat there again. read more

Good food and service! Excellent Happy Hour! The appetizers are different and must try!!! read more

Service, food, staff. Terrible! After 1 hour of ordering, a person, not our waiter, stopped by to say they had a party of 18 in front of us, so it was going to be a bit longer. I could quickly count 26 open seats. That's a terrible excuse. I ordered the Turkey Panini which was cold and awful. Hardly the "made from scratch" they promoted when we were seated. Our food and a drink were comped but that didn't make it right or better because nobody there could care less how we were treated and served. After a number of months being open they don't have the restaurant business or customer service figured out. Spend your money somewhere else. read more

I always like to send positive vibes, especially when I get the same from a local restaurant. I have to give it to these guys for friendliness and service. The food was actually quite good although a bit too much for me to finish in one setting so you may want to consider splitting a meal. Good quality for the price I highly recommend. read more

Tried 101 and we will be back for sure. Walleye sandwich very good. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

You will not be disappointed. I come here just for this dish. I already ate most of it (sorry) but still showing a bit of the goodness with second chicken breast and a few green beans and potatoes left. Even my boyfriend comes here for this and he's not a chicken fan. read more

I must say the service was excellent knowing what they have they have on the menu . They knew the drink menu too. I had the pineapple sangria and it was delicious. The walleye was excellent and pasta salad and macaroni was very cheesy. read more

101 Craft Kitchen - Two plated dishes with greens, sauces, and grilled meat are presented on a rectangular ceramic plate at a restaurant. - New American Near Me - Mason, Ohio

With all the new bars and restaurants opening, this one made an impression. What makes 101 Craft Kitchen different immediately is the friendliness of every single person working there. From the person that seated us to the GM that came around to every table at least once, it made you happy to spend your money there. Speaking of which, we were pleasantly surprised by the prices. A long-standing local establishment here is pricing themselves out of the ballpark and this chicken tasted way better. For starters, we tried the chicken wings and the crab/artichoke toast. The wings were HUGE, not breaded or fried, and tasted like meat. Not sure that is a negative, but understand I do not eat a lot of meat and the smoked accentuates the "meat" flavor. Men will eat them up, which my husband did. My favorite was the toast that I will probably order every single time. Also, my favorite drink was the champagne margarita. For entrées, my husband got the pork chop, which he loved. I zeroed in on the Casado Bowl and was going to do tuna. Our waitress, Hannah S., steered me to the shrimp instead due to the Asian flavor of the tuna. It was simply perfection and I could eat it every single day! May never order anything else! She was a fantastic server! For dessert, we shared the chocolate pudding cake that brought back food memories of my mother's. Enough said! read more

The food and service were outstanding. Everything is homemade and it showed. Quality of ingredients and the atmosphere are all great. If I lived here, I would come at least once a week! read more

Absolutely amazing food. Burger was great, the beet and kale salad was so flavorful....like gyat dam I almost started licking the bowl. 10/10... this spot has become a Cincy staple and you heard it here first read more

Here's the frustrating thing about this restaurant. The staff was super friendly, the menu was excellent, the food was tasty, but the noise level was insane. Why do restaurants do this? We couldn't get out of there fast enough. I'm so so tired of the notion that it's edgy and cool to not be able to have a conversation without shouting. read more

Phenomenal!!! I come to Cinci about once a month and without a doubt this is my new go to. When I arrived i sat at the bar and was greeted by Stanley and Jessica. They provided top notch service. Cool vibe the bar has garage style doors open to the outside. They have a nice indoor and outdoor bar and patio. The out door patio and dining area are heated, dining area in the bar and separate dining area away from the bar. I started with the 1911 Cider Donut (cider), it was very good. On the sweeter side, then I moved on to the Old Fashioned it was very good. For dinner I ordered the Creole Pork Chop it came with maque choux, fried green tomatoes and a pickled vegetable salad. It was topped with a slightly spicy remoulade. I ordered it cooked medium and it actually came out medium. So many restaurants overcook pork. Up until today I could say that the Mongolian Pork Chop from Mustards Grill in Napa was my favorite. This may have beat that. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items from their menu. Wish I would have remembered to take a picture. read more

My husband and I enjoyed lunch at the 101 Craft Kitchen yesterday. We both enjoyed our meals, he ordered the fish and chips special and I had the salmon. The salmon, cooked in a packet, was prepared perfectly: flavorful and tender. Our server, Daniel, was upbeat and helpful as we asked questions. The general manager, Matthew, stopped by the table to check on us. The restaurant is pretty, filled with a variety of sitting areas, and spotless. read more

Interesting menu. Nice vibes so ate there 2 nights in a row. However on the 2nd night, ordered carpaccio and it was a bit unedible. It did not melt in my mouth even after considerable chewing. I gathered some paper towels from bathroom so I could spit out the gristle. I should have complained and sent it back but didn't want to order anything else at that point as was pressed for time. read more
