I enjoyed my first time at Crafts. I got the roasted dark meat, okra and a biscuit. The okra and chicken were delicious. The biscuit was soft but I had to add honey for a flavorful taste. The ambiance was clean and they have an automatic trash can which I liked. The service was timely especially since it was a little busy during lunch. I would definitely go again . read more

I had been seeing that they added a breakfast menu on social media so decided I wanted to give it a try. I have been to the other location for dinner before but this was also the first visit to this location. Despite being only the 2nd of 2 customers at the location, ordering took a lot longer than you would expect. The 1st had already placed their order and was waiting on their food when I arrived. Once I ordered, it took longer than I expected to receive the order also. The chicken on the biscuit was as good as I remembered. The biscuit itself was meh. Instead of being soft & fluffy, it started crumbling as soon as I tried to pick it up to eat it. It fell apart so much, I had to resort to a plastic knife & fork to finish it. The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly and were a large serving size. Overall I thought it was a good value at $6 plus $1.50 to add the egg & cheese. Because of the wait and the biscuit, I don't see myself returning for breakfast. Maybe grab lunch here if I happen to be in the area but it's not close enough to my office or home to be a convenient option with any regularity. read more

OMG! It's lunch time and we are hungry in this office. We ordered everything! I got 2 chicken legs, Brussels, rice and gravy and fruit. This Brussels smothered, seems like a hot served meal, but it's a salad? I don't who idea this, but everyone tasted and said it is gross. I agree! BUT, EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOOD. The simple chicken dip with chips, the chicken wrap as a quesadilla, the simple chicken sandwich and the grilled chicken meal with rice. Yum Yum to it all. And, we DoorDashed it. Still was good. Everybody loved the names on everybody boxes. Keep up the good work! read more

Usually a fan of Crafts and have gotten this location a few times as I work downtown. I will now only go to the Mtn Brook locations. I placed a to-go order for a bowl and wrap both with grilled chicken as they were out of fried chicken, and proceeded to wait 45 minutes for my food. Asked the staff a couple of times for updates and was never given one until I mentioned it had been 45 minutes. Others in the store also waited 30+ minutes. read more

I was in Birmingham this week and was walking around looking for some sort of local place to eat at and came across this place, Crafts. I checked the reviews and to be honest they were mixed. I was feeling like some fried chicken and since I was in the south I thought I'll try to this place. This place is sort of off the beaten path along with some other restaurants. The store front looked nice. I was suprised by how big the inside was. I walked in and this place was huge. Maybe 30 tables? There were a lot and unfortunately it was pretty empty but the place was clean! Maybe I came in an off time. The menu had all sort of stuff on it from salads to sandwiches to fried chicken and chicken tenders and so on. It was a good selection. The person taking the order was extremely nice and patient. I couldn't decide if I wanted the traditional fried chicken or the tenders. I picked the tenders with fries and a sweet tea. They gave me a number and I sat down. It took probably 10 min to get my food which meant they were actually cooking it fresh. My food came and it was a lot of food. I ordered the 6 piece tender and I should have got the 4 piece. These were thick hand breaded tenders. The coating was crispy, and it was very well seasoned. These were not bland at all. The fries now were awesome and something I never had before. These were almost like potato wedges but were spiral. They were thick, with a lot of surface area on them so they got very crispy on the outside but really tender on the inside. It was amazing. To top it all off as well the person taking my order gave me 10% off because it was my 1st time there. Which was nice. Overall this place is a go again. The food was good, the wait staff was amazing and nice, and the restaurant itself was clean. read more

On 4/17/2025, I wanted to share my recent experience and express my disappointment. I was really excited to try Crafts on 7th for breakfast after seeing your posts on Instagram. I even brought two coworkers with me, eager to support a local business. We arrived at 7:30 AM--your listed opening time--but the doors were locked. Despite the signage stating that you open at 7:30 and serve breakfast, no one let us in. I waited, peeked through the door, and even saw someone inside who looked directly at me but didn't come to open the door. I also called twice, but both calls went to voicemail. After standing outside for 10 minutes, we left to find breakfast elsewhere. About 10 minutes later, I received a call asking why I had called. I explained the situation, and the person said they were in the back. Still, if your hours say 7:30, customers should be able to enter at that time. When I was asked if I'd like to place an order, I declined--we had already taken our business elsewhere. As someone in my third trimester, this was not only frustrating but also disappointing. I expected better service and professionalism. I hope you'll take this feedback seriously and ensure future guests are welcomed during your posted hours. read more

My boyfriend and I went for breakfast today randomly, not knowing what to expect. Craft's exceeded all expectations. I think everyone should give it a try! Ms Cathy (I think is her name, I'm sorry I forgot!) provided the most outstanding and thoughtful service. We ordered the sausage breakfast burrito and the chicken breakfast burrito and split a coffee. She brewed a new pot even though we came right toward the end of the service. The portions were insane for only $6 per meal (because tots are included). It was warm and delicious, especially topped with the homemade salsa and filling. We both brought home leftovers. They're unfortunately not open on the weekends, because most of the foot traffic is from UAB. Send these folks some love!!!! read more

All in all I will say this place is good. It just needs a few tweaks. For instance, the fried okra is just OK. It has not much seasoning, but luckily the sauces that you can dip add in a majority of the flavor. The chicken bites themselves they are quite big for the price so can't complain about that. Also, just an FYI the chicken only comes in two flavors (which isn't bad, I would just expect a chicken place to have a little more variety in flavor ) However, they were Luke warm not hot not necessarily fresh. Although they did not come as hot as I would like them too they still were quite tasty. Also, why do I have to get a biscuit. I would prefer it if I could substitute the biscuit for a smaller proportion of another side because I don't want a biscuit. But if you like biscuits like that good. However, this biscuit was rock hard, and was not warm at all. And had no flavor. Will I be back? MAYBE, will all of my food be hot? Unsure. The service was fine, very nice workers. The restaurant was very clean and neat. Nothing negative to say there. read more

The restaurant is extremely clean and nice. I ordered the 3 piece tenders with fries, and it comes with a biscuit. I was recommended to try the Dat Sauce and then I picked the Honey hot sauce since I generally like Hot Honey. The cashier was extremely friendly as well as the kitchen staff. It's also nice that UAB employees and students get 10% off! I had a 7 minute wait since they were cooking the chicken fresh, which I appreciated and didn't mind. The food came out hot and remained hot on my walk back to the office. The fries were great, they are a mix between wedges and curly and I would honestly get just fries. The tenders were HUGE and had a good flavor. I did like the Dat sauce but was not a fan of the Honey Hot sauce mostly cause there wasn't much of a honey flavor and was mostly just hot. The biscuit was soft and good. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

The facility was clean and the staff were cordial. However, the food itself was subpar. The chicken wrap I had was relatively dry with little to no flavor. I could pass on the mac and cheese. It just wasn't for me. They were training new staff when I visited so service was understandably slow. Probably won't be back. read more

This location is definitely not the same as the Mountain Brook location. The food and customer service were below average. They were just starting to serve lunch and my chicken fingers were cold. I allowed, who appeared to be someone in management, to feel the chicken finger because she didn't seem to believe me. She said she would replace them but I waited and waited and finally went to the counter and they had been sitting there. I frequent the mountain brook location, but definitely won't be returning to this one. read more

Went for late lunch. Served attitude because they were closing soon. I was going for a quick take out lunch but they were very rude. I took my business elsewhere. A lot of other options that were actually better anyways. Do yourself a favor and just walk across the street. read more

The food is SO yummy! The service was great. They threw in cookie for me free of charge and I thought that was so sweet (the cookie and the service) read more

I got the Hot Dot sandwich and the chicken didn't have much sauce on it and the sauce wasn't very spicy. The sandwich was fresh and the fries were thick and hot. The service was great but slight slow as it was lunch rush and they had a lot of tickets. I will be back though. read more
