    SMOKEHOUSE JUMBO PRETZEL - A giant pretzel with salt is served on a metal tray, accompanied by a small bowl of dipping sauce, on a wooden table with drinks and utensils.
    Amy J.

    We always come to Craf't in Joliet for Mother's Day brunch, and it has become a special tradition for our family. The food is always delicious, beautifully prepared, and the atmosphere makes the day feel extra meaningful. The only thing to keep in mind is that it can get insanely busy, which just shows how popular it is--but it's absolutely worth it every time. Make reservations! They also allow dogs on the outside patio area which is so nice!

    Smoked Pineapple Chicken Nachos - Trough Style Fire Kissed Cauliflower
    Dylan S.

    As a die hard craft'd fan for years, it pains me to see just how far this place has fallen. From their incredible price increases, to the dramatic change in service quality, to even the fact that they now charge you extra for a salad that was always (and was still listed on their menu as) included with any entree. It seems that the dog friendly patio, cool vibe, along with a few slowly-deteriorating in quality while simultaneously increasing in price menu items are the only things worth coming here for anymore. If they keep up this downward spiral even the last few good items will begin to taste like disappointment as well. Hopefully they can right the ship, it seems to have gone a bit of course.

    Brat burger with the optional truffle fries
    Hubert D.

    I've been wanting to try this location since its opening not too far ago. My friend and I decided to have a late lunch here and it was a good experience. The place is familiar to me since I live pretty close to here. The place has a big parking lot and it can fill up during dinner hours. The building kept its "cottage lumber" feeling, so I am glad they kept the character outside and still inside. The wait was a little long, but the food made up for the experience. They seemed a little busy but my wait staff was the bartender so it might explain why there was a little bit of a wait. For our appetizer, we ordered Smoked Pineapple Chicken Nachos. It arrived on a long plate and even had an extra bowl of queso. The amount of food for the nacho would be great for a party of 4+ as a main course. This was just massive! The flavor was on point and I loved the extra queso sauce since it guaranteed that I wouldn't have a flavorless chip. Finally, for my main course, I ordered the Brat burger. I had to try this since this is pretty commonly found in Montgomery/Yorkville area. Instead of chips, I decided to get the truffle fries... which I kinda regret. The truffle flavor was lost and I was not a fan of their fries. It seemed freshly cut which I commend but it was soggy. The Brat, however, was amazing and I was a big fan of it. In the end, for the price and amount of food... I am a huge fan because the price was reasonable but the amount of food they gave is massive. Our server was friendly, but she was busy. However, in the end, I am a huge fan of this location and I am sure to be a regular here.

    Click Yeah

    I ordered the "cluck yeah" cause I saw photos on yelp and it looks crispy and delicious. Met my expectations really good with the honey mustard sauce. New York Strip was also a 10/10 the mashed was my favorite. College football was going on so it was a full house and games going on. Epidural for a drink was also something new I've never had.

    Service was good. Food portions were a good size. Parking is a bit of a pain in the butt. A bit of a wait to get seated but not too bad.

But I like the strawberry lemon the most. Got the eggs Benedict with the smoked salmon. Came with a side of potatoes and peppers. Then ended with the sticky toffee pudding. Definitely recommend as it melts into your mouth. The waiters were really nice and was able to do split checks with no issues.

Great selection of drinks to choose from and there's even non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails as well. It can be a bit pricey coming here as well as a bit tricky trying to find a parking spot but it's a great place to stop at!

There's some that are pretty expensive but some that aren't so bad thankfully. Anyone can find one to their liking. There's of course the classics like martinis. A happy hour is on weekdays to save a few bucks. It's about $12 for sangria. We got the Caribbean Coconut Sangria. Good to help cool off when it gets hot. This is made with coconut rum, lime, pineapple juice, and white rum. Lots of rum in it. There's also a food menu. A few snacks on it basically. It's about $5 to get sides like pickled watermelon. Basically the rinds which actually are good. There's also charcuterie like cheeses and meats. For sure it's one of the best places around here for date nights or even just chilling and hanging. It's located in the plaza with the brewery and a few other restaurants. They're closed Sundays.

I got the grilled fish tacos but was a bit underwhelmed with the thinness of the fish. A bit rubbery. I ate one whole taco and tried to eat the filling out of the rest.

It's almost as if this building used to be a chain like Applebee's or something. There's not a lot of charm, just loud TVs and yelling. Only a bit busy coming in. We were able to find bar seats. Has lots of great specials going on. It's $5.50 to get Jameson on Saturdays. As for the food menu it's pretty meaty. It's $11 for Hot Soft Pretzels. A lot of the rest of it is stuff like burgers. There's also pastas and pizzas. Seems like everything gets meat on it. The other stuff is pretty greasy as we saw on the other plates. For sure it's a great place for watching sports and other types of games. It's located by the Louis Joliet Mall so you can eat here after you go there. The area as far as restaurants is sucking and this is one of the better options for family, friends, or for whoever.

    O.M.B. (ONE MAGNIFICENT BURGER)…read more Their name doesn't say it, but Next Whiskey Bar serves an incredible burger. I know my way around a sandwich, and I have to say the offerings at NWB in downtown Plainfield are some of the best around. Look for the blue & white house on Lockport St, and you'll know you've found it. NWB doesn't take reservations, however you can join an online waitlist. Park on the street or in a small lot adjacent to the building. The beer selection is fantastic, a pint ($8) never disappoints although I usually lean towards a Hefeweizen or pilsner with my meal. Yeah yeah, I know this is a WHISKEY bar, but yours truly doesn't do the brown liquor.....bad experience with Jägermeister as a kid. For appetizers, the cheese curds ($14) are pricey but oh-so-worth it. They come with a cilantro aioli and we get an order of these every single visit. The cauliflower popcorn ($11) is also a very worthy choice for starters; roasted and seasoned cauliflower florets are served with a sumptuous clarified butter. Their house NWB Burger ($16.50) is a busy affair, with pork belly, bbq sauce, onion straws and cheese curds on a pretzel bun. The Big Jer ($15.25) is a much simpler yet equally stellar burger with 2x4oz patties, lettuce, tomato, and Merkt's cheddar spread served with a pickle spear. I recently tried the Suribachi ($15.50) and it blew my mind. A 1/2lb patty is lightly fried in tempura batter, then topped with pepperjack cheese, wasabi coleslaw and sriracha on a brioche bun. Next time, I'm giving the El Toro a shot (pickled habaneros, corn guac). My wife loves the pork belly mac ($16), a good portion of cheesy cavatappi pasta with crispy pork belly. Their Cubano ($15) is solid and the Taylor Street panini ($15) is a tasty Italian grinder, with prosciutto, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato and olive spread on focaccia bread. NWB's homemade chips are amazing, I always opt for them instead of fries (which are also great). Bread = 5+ Circuses = 4.5 Service has been generally fine, but last visit it took a long time for our server to come by initially. The inside of this converted house is somewhat cramped so if the weather allows, I suggest dining 'al fresco'. Their outdoor patio definitely passes the vibe check. I honestly can't decide whose doughnuts are better, Empire in Naperville or Next Whiskey Bar's. It might be a tie! In any case, we ALWAYS end a meal here with the fried doughnuts ($11) that come with a heavenly whiskey caramel sauce for dipping. * TL;DR * In my mind, NWB stands for "Nirvana, With Burgers". Everything we've gotten here has exceeded expectations. Cheese curds, cauliflower popcorn, pork belly pasta, doughnuts and of course burgers all stand out. I would get the Suribachi again in a HEARTBEAT. The ambiance is ideal for date night and small groups, and with a small dining area that fills up fast, come early or expect a wait. Next Whiskey Bar is one of my favorite restaurants in the western suburbs, I highly recommend them.
