    Craft Your Own Burger and sliders
    Athena B.

    We came here after seeing it while walking around the area. The place was basically empty Thursday for lunch at noon. The bartender came over to get us settled with waters but didn't come back again for quite a while to order. I'd say the wait time for food was average, and the bartender was very nice. The music playing was great and at perfect volume for us to have a conversation and enjoy. I got a CYO burger, every add on was 50 cents (which the menu does NOT specify and the waiter did NOT mention) and my husband got the sliders. Both orders with fries. I also ordered a side of mayo because the burger was dry without cheese, that was 25 cents (which also was not mentioned). Overall, we were in and out in a little less than an hour, but likely will not come back since everything was pretty bland.

    $12 Cesar salad - rather have McDonald's salad.
    N. S.

    So this is a solid 3* bar. The fried food and apps are hot and fresh service is good. Don't recommend a $12 Cesar salad that sucked. There is no sound baffling so the reverb of the audio equip and conversations reverb and amplify. It's loud even without being loud.

    Great late night menu and a large variety of drinks! The wings are large, sliders are excellent, and everything is really great quality. Nice selection of craft beers and canned cocktails as well as beers on draft. Karaoke is every Wednesday night from 9pm-1am. Great Happy Hour specials and regular menu as well. The place is clean. The staff is friendly, and we really must shout out to THE BEST bartender / server, Arnold! Large free parking lot. Room for about 80-100 people plus an outdoor patio. While it's family friendly, I really wished that they closed the place off to adults only after 9pm. Lots of teens make the karaoke list long.

    This place was a pretty great vibe. The food was awesome. I ordered a burger and the loaded tots. You get a great portion and the tots were good!

    Burgers and chicken tenders with fries

    Gray bar and restaurant. Amazing atmosphere. Server Jay was a great and was very attentive and served us great food for a great price. Definitely will be coming again. I would put 6 stars if I could just based on the service... the food was a plus‼

    The nachos were good! The margarita was good but could have been better! It was not super sweet which threw me off a bit! The service was really good! Waiter was attentive! The ambiance is a sit down restaraunt with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! :) They apparently have trivia and karokee too I will have to come back for

    Crafthouse Burger

    Came with a group of friends to do trivia and had a lot of fun. It's pretty easy to hear the announcer even though it's loud, and the game progresses at a good pace- not too fast, not too slow, so you have time to think. In terms of food, fairly standard bar food here, a little overpriced in my opinion but it was pretty good. I got the Crafthouse Burger, and I will say the peanut butter, bacon, fried egg, and thousand island dressing combo was surprisingly good. My girlfriends Crafthouse (grilled) Chicken Sandwich was good as well. And if you're a fan of onions, get the Vidalia onion it's so tasty. Overall, food was good, trivia was fun, service was attentive- would come back!

    Trivia night here was so fun! And it couldn't have been so without our server who was very attentive. Give 5 stars because of the service, even on a busy night like then when every table was full. We were still checked on often and got to order drinks, apps, and food / refills on water, etc throughout the night. We ordered the mozz sticks and blooming onion, definitely good bar food. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with french fries. The french fries were very good and the chicken sandwich was delightfully delish. Big portions and wasn't able to finish the whole thing, I highly recommend as I enjoyed every bite. My friends shared a marg pizza and it's quite small so more as an app, not a pie for a meal. The drinks are also really great and good price for happy hour too.

I ordered some pilsner and some other lager on tap from local breweeies. Delicious. Ordered popcorn chicken, pork belly, and some 'real food' - a quick rice bowl with chicken. The fried bites were wonderfully crispy. They have good oil management and felt quite light especially with a swig of a cold lager. The rice bowl was tasty too. Construction was indeed very Taiwanese, and yet... I still felt like I'm in a dive bar complete with all its grunge. So cool They sell 4/6 packs of craft brews here too. They've got stuff all the way up from some Vermont and Maine (true craft beer land IMO)

We got some takeout as well; beautifully packaged and presented takeout bento boxes (see my photo). For dining in, the bento box is also beautifully presented.

To be fair, Momo's Cafe is a bit out of the way and hard to get to (for us, we have to drive through Georgetown on M Street), but it's worth it! TAIWANESE POPCORN CHICKEN - 8.95 The chicken was salted and peppered perfectly, crispy but not overly so. The chicken itself was juicy and tender. This really hit on a rainy day, and I could hardly focus on the conversation with my friend because I was pre-occupied eating the chicken. I could not ask for a better Taiwanese popcorn chicken. BRAISED PORK BENTO - 11.50 This bento came with a lot of food, where 25% of it was braised pork over white rice. There were some sides like sauteed napa cabbage, a bit of pickled vegetables, steamed corn, and an odd assortment of Chinese sausage, fried tofu, and half a tea egg. Everything was good. The braised pork was fatty and juicy, and the sauce was a bit milder than I'd expect, but still flavorful. The sides were all homey and not too over-the-top, which was what I wanted. The corn was cooked with butter and clearly came from a can, but it hit home because that's how my grandma used to cook for me. So I'm not sure if anyone else would like the corn this way, but I did for nostalgia reasons. Also, the prices are actually reasonable?? I wish it was easier to get to Momo's Cafe from where I live -- I'd actually stop by quite often if that was the case. The food is homey and delicious, I'd definitely recommend it!

The pork belly was a nice balance of sweet and spicy, while the bulgogi had a bit too much sauce vs bulgogi meat (more tiny bits of meat). The tofu was pretty 'meh', it was a nice chunk of tofu but even the sauce didn't make it memorable. With the size of the buns, definitely take advantage of the 'happy hour' discount.

With a hoisin sauce spread on the plate and plenty of hoisin sauce flavoring the pork, this homemade beauty was my favorite of the lot. Having eaten so many bao buns in my past, this one stood out among many I've eaten across Asia. We also ordered the Xaio Long Bao, the Cambodian Noodle Soup, and the Rice Roll with Shrimp.

The Cambodian Noodle Soup was great as well. True to form, we had it with the chicken and it was a perfect encapsulation of the Cambodian soups that I so loved when visiting. Service was good, but most importantly the food came out piping hot. A must with this style of cuisine. The only exception was the Xaio Long Bao, but that could have been due to the sauce cooling the dumplings. As for ambiance, it is a unique model as it is a coffee shop before 11, and then a restaurant and coffee shop after 11. We came around 11:30 and it was in between selling out of all their pop-up pastries and ramping up the kitchen. I will be back, many times indeed.
