It has been a little over a year since I first learned about Krave Eatery & Dessert Shop through…read moreTikTok, which prompted me to travel over two hours to visit this viral restaurant sensation. Since my initial experience, I have returned on three additional occasions, sampling as many menu items as possible, since I never know when I might next be able to return. Krave is operated by a family team consisting of a father, mother, daughter, and son, who clearly put their Christian values on full display as they demonstrate exceptional hospitality and professionalism in all aspects of their business (including a score of 100 on their recent Food & Services Inspection Report). During my first visit, their genuine friendliness and warmth was notable. Afterwards, I discovered that Khaira, the daughter, serves as a youth and young adults pastor, while her father, David, is the senior pastor at their church-which aligns with the attentive service provided. During my initial trip, I was unaware of the restaurant's significant popularity; despite arriving an hour and a half after opening, I waited in line for 45 minutes and barely obtained one of the last available plates. Learning from this, I arrived earlier on my subsequent visits, twice being the first in line ;-) KRAVE EATERY operates primarily on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with occasional Friday "pop-up" events. It is advisable to check their Facebook page for specific Friday openings, as each day features a distinct menu. To date, I have not attended on a Wednesday but did manage to visit on a Friday. The typical menu schedule is outlined below: WEDNESDAY * Jerk Salmon * Jerk Seafood Pasta * Sweet Chili Salmon * Yellow Rice * Grits * Kale * Spoon Bread * Soup of the Day THURSDAY * Roasted Turkey Wings (THIS IS A MUST TRY ITEM) * Smothered Pork Chops * Braised Oxtails (THIS IS A MUST TRY ITEM) * Collard Greens * Sautéed Squash * Yellow Rice * Mac & Cheese * Sweet Potato Soufflé * Potato Salad * Cornbread Dressing FRIDAY * Braised Oxtail Pasta * Sweet Chili Pork Chops * Smothered Baked Chicken * Sautéed Green Beans * Yellow Rice * Mac & Cheese * Sautéed Cabbage * Sweet Potato Soufflé * Red Velvet -- Coconut Velvet -- Nana * Pudding -- Berry Peach Cobbler (THIS IS A MUST TRY ITEM) [Please note that menu items are subject to change.] I have sampled nearly every dish offered on Thursdays and Fridays, except for the sweet chili pork chops. While I did not prefer the smothered pork chops or barbecue chicken wings on separate occasions, the other dishes were consistently well-prepared, generous in portion size, and reasonably priced. Having experienced a wide variety of southern cuisine, I can confidently say that Krave's oxtails, and turkey wings rank among my top five favorites, and the mac & cheese, dressing and sweet potato soufflé are high on my list as well. [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] Krave Eatery & Dessert Shop merits the two-hour journey, not only for its quality food but for the overall dining experience. I plan to return next on a Wednesday to sample the Jerk Salmon Seafood Pasta and kale, both of which come highly recommended by other patrons I have met while standing in line.

The food on display looked tantalizing as heck, all fresh and incredible smelling. Staff were very pleasant to talk to and explained their rotating small menu in a friendly, concise, and informative manner. Went out to eat in my truck and omg the food was in the top 5 meals I've ever had in my life. The ingredients were of high quality. Flavors were rich and powerful. Everything seasoned to perfection. All the textures were on point. I hope they don't change anything anytime soon because this has got to be in the top 2 best restaurants I've ever been to. 10/10 would recommend. Food like this is pretty rare.

There are a variety of cheese cakes, which come in thick slices and big beautiful cookies of mini varieties.

The coffee was nothing special because it was just a K cup from a Keurig machine. The 20 ounce cup of coffee was five dollars. I do think it was all a bit pricey for a dessert but if you want to splurge it is definitely a cute place to try.

The next day we went back to get cookies to bring home to California and was helped by Lisa who was super helpful. We got more vanilla buttermilk and because they going with on the plane she packed them for travel. This is a must try spot. I will definitely go next time in town.

"If you're on the fence about trying the new Dubai-style cheesecake cookie from Crumbl, don't wait…read more-- it's a delicious surprise that lives up to the hype. The cheesecake layer is smooth and creamy without being overly sweet, and it sits atop a buttery graham-cracker-style crust that gives a satisfying texture contrast. What really sets it apart is the nod to the "Dubai" dessert trend -- you get hints of nutty pistachio and subtle crunch (a nice departure from the usual all-frosting overdose). The balance between rich dessert and light enough to finish, makes it a strong pick. Highly recommended for dessert lovers looking for something trendy and fun." Only reason this wasn't a 5 is because service wasn't all that , nobody spoke to me until it was time for me to leave .

The elote could have been bomb if they wouldnt have used canned corn. Even frozen corn would've been a better option. The flavors were there it just let you wanting more because the corn was too soft. I will go back again if I want a quick snack to take with me. I'm interested in trying more things on the menu.

They offer many sweet treats like milkshakes, chocolate covered bananas, icecream, paletas, and many other items. I tried the mangonada which was very good except they had them sitting in the freezer instead of making them fresh which made it hard to drink because the drink was initially pretty frozen. Other than that I was good. I also had the elote which had a really nice balanced flavor, but they used canned corn instead of fresh which definitely drew away from the flavor experience. Overall everything tasted good. I will definitely bring my kids back for some ice cream and shakes. I want to try some Paletas next!

The lady who runs the place adheres to a cultural standard foreign to myself and anyone unfamiliar with Britain.

It's clearly rubbed a lot of people wrong hence the bad reviews. If you are looking for a homemade meal that is delicious and helps support a small business you have found the place.
