Slider heaven! They have so many interesting types to choose from. The tots are also terrific. The service and ambiance were great. Even though it was busy when we stopped in because of restaurant week, our server took great care of us and it wasn't too loud or crazy int here. They also offer a selection of over the top milkshakes which we hope to try next time. I look forward to stopping back in to Craft and trying more of their scrumptious offerings!
After our first amazing experience - I had to bring my husband. And believe it or not, our experience was probably even better! We ordered tots & their famous chicken tenders to start - and when I tell you they arrived in minutes, I mean minutes. I was shocked how quickly they came out! We got 5 different sliders & they were all equally as delicious. Our favorite part was the PB&J Sour on draft from Upstate - it was so nice to have a sour option, as they are our favorite and we hardly ever find places that offer them! We will definitely be regulars!
Delicious food for late night fare. Friendly service. Great beer selection, willing to offer tastes to help us decide. Great location right in downtown with a fun, hip vibe.
(Visited 7/13/2020.) So as we are navigating our way through the pandemic some places are doing better than others. Binghamton, NY is one of those places. They're allowed to have indoor dining and all of that good stuff! So while I'm working here for the week I decided to check this place out. Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: This place gave me a very, hipster, southern California kind of vibe. There's a giant garage door that can be opened to transform the restaurant into an "outdoor" spot. It's clever. The place isn't very big and it's elongated so once you're in the front door(s) you can see the bar off to the right with some high-top seating in front of it. The bathroom is all the way at the back with some more seating off to the left. It wasn't very busy so it wasn't too loud, but I can see this place gettin' fairly lively! Service: Liam took care of me and he was excellent. He got me everything that I needed and was excellent. Food: So this place is known for its small plates and I love places like that. They feature over 15 different sliders made from beef, to chicken, to shrimp, sushi and of course, non-meat options. They are also well-known for super-huge, super-creative shakes! Lol. While I was then I dabbled with 2 flavors of their wings, the hot and the garlic parmesan. Both flavors were excellent and they truly tasted unique, like nothing I've ever had before. I also was able to stuff in a Dubbel Decker slider, which is 2 stacked CRAFT burgers complete with lettuce, tomato American cheese, Craft sauce and a B&B pickle. I got it without a bun so that it could be a tad bit healthier, but I really enjoyed it. Value: Pretty good if I must say so myself. So the wings are sold by the pound and it's $10.99 per pound. I got about 9 wings in my order and was able to split the order in half so that I can get 2 sauces. My slider was $5.99 since it was in the "specialty sliders" section. In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here. It was a quick bite, the food was straightforward and the atmosphere was decent. I look forward to checking out some of the other things they have on the menu!
Craft is definitely a classic collegetown place to drink, hangout, and just vibe. The ambiance is definitely great with the string lightbulb lights, outdoor seating, and board games to play. I've come here for restaurant week, and the tater tots are so crispy and delicious. I also went to brunch here and their California egg slider is fresh containing avocado, and their korean pork belly slider is also pretty decent. However, their fish filet slider could be a bit better and the sliders have a much larger bun portion to actual food content in there. What's a trip to craft without a milkshake? I had their Brooklyn Blackout before and if you're a huge chocolate lover then you would definitely like this milkshake. At brunch, I got their Cookies and Cream Milkshake and you can actually spike it too if you're feeling crazy. Overall, I would recommend this place for good times and good food!
It's not easy to find brunch in town so this was a treat. People will rave about the boozy milkshakes and tater tots but forget it all... go to brunch and order the Eggs Benny Sliders - WOW!!! Place got crowded as the morning progressed to afternoon but Wowee - those sliders - on a hash brown waffle - were phenomenal!! And did I mention a mimosa???
I've not oft been disappointed in a restaurant, as I was here at Craft. The restaurant appeared clean and was mildly busy seem like it had a decent ambience. After seating ourselves, it took 15+ minutes for a waitress to even greet us, and she just let us know our waitress would be with us shortly. About five more minutes before we were finally able to place our drink order, and since we had plenty of time to peruse the menu, we placed our orders. They're pure to be three or four waitresses for a restaurant that was about a third full, and our food still didn't come until we had been there for 50 minutes. I ordered a Smash Slider and fried Pickles. The smash slider was way undercooked (which is hard to do with such a thin slice of hamburger). I felt as if it had zero seasoning. The fried pickles were unrecognizable. I don't know what type of breading they put on the pickles. What is not anything like I've ever had before, and it wasn't pleasant.
Last night, I went to Craft Bar + Kitchen because I was eager to try this year's Restaurant Week menu!! As expected, Craft was packed, so we opted for outdoor seating. It took a while for us to get our orders in due to it being so packed. The deal was two sliders, a side, a dessert, and a drink. I ordered the craft slider and the blue monday, tots, the cookies and cream sundae, and a glass of wine for $20. First off, due to how overpacked the restaurant was, it took at least 45 minutes for the food to come, which was less than ideal. When it did arrive, the true star of the show was the tots. The sliders were mediocre and, out of the two, I definitely preferred the craft slider. The dessert was a nice touch, but this dinner was certainly nothing to write home about! Yes, it was yummy and filling, but we waited far too long and the food was not nearly as amazing as it usually is. I love craft, but my 2021 Restaurant Week experience here was nothing more than mediocre.
I was so impressed by the creativity of the menu. I got the Korean pork belly slider and I believe the signature slider with a side of fries. Both great! The shakes were also SO good and not too sweet despite the fact that it was literally a milkshake with cookies and an ice cream sandwich on it. Service was good and really accommodating, and it was a fun spot to go with friends on a Saturday night!
Pretty decent selection of craft beers. The food was outstanding. Great service. Will be going back
Horrible experience. There were three people running the restaurant at 4pm and they were swamped. The waitress said that she was the only one taking care of tables. My family and I ordered sliders etc. the wait was very long. I ordered another slider to go to eat later. When I ate the slider that evening, I took a bite and discovered it was completely raw. I've called three times now to discuss this issue and I'm told that only a manger can do a refund and that the manager only works 5 days a week and after 4pm. The premise for this restaurant is great, however the execution is poor. This was our second try at this restaurant and we won't be back.
Food was very delicious. Had the double patty slider and the beer battered chicken slider. First time having beer battered chicken. Had the apple pie a La mode shake and it was the best shake I've had in a while.
You know this is a collegetown type of place when the menu is solely available by scanning a QR code on the table. But I found it strange that there's absolutely no non-alcoholic drinks listed anywhere on that menu. I'm usually fine with water anyway, but it just seems like a basic feature that's lacking. As far as the food, it was touch and go. Like another reviewer said, it is a bit like rolling the dice. Nothing was bad, per se, but I found extremes between mindblowingly amazing and "this is all bun" kind of flavor. So let's start with the best. The sushi slider. It's a little messy, so prepare for some fall-out, but the flavor was perfect. The soy marinade on the ahi tuna paired perfectly with the tangy pickled slaw and bun, which was like a fried rice tater tot. Crispy yet creamy and starchy. It was a match made in heaven, and I would happily go there just to order that again. The Unicorn shake was also great. Blended perfectly with a nice creamy strawberry flavor. And all the pizzazz of those stylish overfilled shakes but, thankfully, that top was just whipped cream so it was not a mess at all. We did not try it spiked, but they have those options, too, if you're interested. But do note that some people might consider these shakes a meal in themselves! It's a lot. Now for the "meh"... Basically all other sliders I tried on a bun, which were the Social Slider and the Grilled Shroom Slider. The amount of filling made it so the entire slider was fully overwhelmed by the bun. All I could taste was bun, with a hint of filling. Having tried the sushi one first, these came as a major disappointment. So considering ALL of their sliders except the sushi one has the same normal bun, I'm skeptical that I won't be disappointed coming back to try more. If you're coming here for the milkshakes, craft beer, or the sushi slider, you'll love it. Otherwise, it just seems a bit "meh". If I didn't absolutely love the sushi slider this would have easily been 3 stars.
Stopped in on a Tuesday for the Craft slider, Crispy crix slider, and a side of fries. The food was good and the Moscow Mule was good too. Service started off slow but picked up. Our server was flying solo and doing his best, but he definitely could've used an extra hand. Still a good vibe overall! Would go back again read more
Very welcoming place. Seated immediately inside, and experienced quick, thoughtful service. Outside seating also available. Pleasant atmosphere, with nicely priced cocktails and a decent beer selection. Food was okay. Plenty of street parking. read more

Ok hear me out.... If you are coming here for the milkshakes you won't be disappointed if you go here for anything else you might be rolling the dice. I came here with one goal in mind- order a milkshake, finish the milkshake, love the milkshake. Goal accomplished. It's a very college student vibe (which I haven't been for a while) but grown-ups deserve epic desserts too (maybe more). The table was sticky even after our wonderful server wiped it down- most likely the tables have the wrong varnish for the environment and cleaning products. I digress you're here to know if the milkshake was as epic as it seems. The answer is- it's better. The ice cream is well blended and easy to sip through the straw. The whipped cream will dye your mouth but it is to die for. I love the sprinkles around the rim and the sugar cone. It was everything I wanted and more. Tip: the outside tables are frequently used for rolling so they are kinda gross - sit inside. Outside seating is dog friendly :) read more
Ok so just to make it clear, there is nothing crafty about this place. We order sliders and at best they were just ok. The sliders were barely warm, i had the beef slider with onion jam, they were good but not good enough for me to clme back. The plain tater tots had a extra crust of salt, nothing special. My wife opted for lime chipotle chicken wraps with lettuce instead of a bun, she thought it was good. We couldn't eat indoors due to a long wait and or reservation required. So instead we ate on the sidewalk tables. We also had a chocolate shake which was ok. We walked in here just because we dont know the area and i cannot say there was anything special on the menu. Basically 6 sliders, 1 salad and 1 order of tater tots $42 plus tax and tip... read more

I order 2 items from their slider menu and I got only 2 sliders instead of the conventional 3 sliders per menu item. I paid a total of 13 dollars including tax and each one was around 6 dollars. Additionally, this was suppose to be for my gf and me, 2 people! I'm honestly so embarrassed that the lunch I got for my gf couldn't satisfy her and was this pathetic. read more

Stopping by the area for work and found this to be the only open spot late at night. Great service, beer was amazing and the the tenders had to be top 3 in terms of flavor and crunch. If I'm in upstate New York ever again I'm taking the detour to come on by. read more

Giving it a 3 mainly because of the service. We waited about 20 minutes before someone even came over and took our orders. Then it took another 10 minutes to even get the waters we ordered. Very unorganized. We saw many people get up and walk away because it took too long for a server to even come to their table. Food was surprisingly good for how bad the service was. Mini sliders are very tasty and so are the sides. I had the tatchos and those were delicious and a pretty good size for the price. The queso they put on it is too good. Also ordered a milkshake because everyone around me was and it was also incredible. Sad the foods good but service is rough. If they figure that out it would be the bar food place to go to in Binghamton. read more

I ordered craft, korean pork belly, and shrimp sliders. Craft slider was actually really good. Wish the patty was just little more juicy but it was still delicious. I would give 2/5 for korean pork belly because I'm not even sure if they actually used pork belly for this. The meat was too chewy and dried and didn't taste like pork belly at all. I LOVE spicy food but wish the sauce was little less spicy. Shrimp slider was fine but considering it was 2 times more expensive than the other sliders, I wouldn't say it's worth it. It was very bland and tasted like it's missing some flavor. However, the patry was very thick and crispy. The sliders were 3.99 each and I think the shrimp one was 5.99. Wish the sliders were bigger or they were little cheaper than the current price (especially because it's in the college town). I would still visit again to try other fun sliders and milkshakes. Overall, not bad and I would love to visit again but wish the portion was just a little bit bigger. read more

We came at 12pm on a Saturday and luckily there were a few tables left. Once we sat, we saw that there were a few board games at the side of the bar that we could play while dining in. Just from the look of the menu, you can see that things are slightly on the pricy side. I ordered 2 different sliders but when the food arrived, I got two of the same sliders. I didn't want to bother asking to change the slider. Luckily, when the check came, it did say that I got two different sliders but there was no price difference. I also ordered a side of Tator tots and they were delicious but it was over fried in my opinion. It was way too crunchy that you couldn't really taste the softness inside the Tator Tots as you typically would. There were maybe three waitresses at the time that we went and the restaurant was not super packed. However, things were super slow. When I asked another waitress for utensils, I waited almost 5 minutes until I realized that she was talking with another waitress at the bar. My friends waived their hand in the air and once she saw us she went to the back of the restuarant to inform our waitress we needed utensils. It seems to be that only our waitress can serve our table. Every time we waived our hand in the air, another waitress would go to the back of the restaurant and call over the lady that serves us. Service is way too slow and it would have been nice if all the staff members helped eachother out or was at least in the area so we can call them over easily rather than being nowhere found. read more
