    Crabcakes with asparagus
    Carlotta L.

    I absolutely love this place. The food is always on point! It's a small cute restaurant with a nice ambience always good vibes and good service!

    Seasoned steak fries were delicious
    Nisha R.

    I love the NEW Happy HOUR time! Imagine having great cocktails from 11am to 6pm. CraftWay is always a cozy, welcoming place with good food and drinks. The staff is friendly and pleasant. The service is usually top notch. This visit I tried the Reuben Egg Rolls. The ingredients consist of Pastrami, Sauerkraut, Gruyère Cheese and Spicy Russian Dressing. I added extra Sauerkraut and Dressing. The dressing was amazing and these were a fun appetizer to share. The egg roll was unique and tasty. Also the Cajun Shrimp Pasta is another favorite. The shrimp are a perfect size and well seasoned. Onions, Red Peppers, Mushrooms, Penne Pasta and Cajun Cream served with Toasted Bread. The combination of ingredients is perfectly balanced. Large enough to SHARE! The FROSÉ is DELICIOUS! It's my favorite drink on the menu. It's refreshingly good and not too sweet. I left feeling full and satisfied with this meal and cocktail.

    French onion soup and Reuben eggrolls
    Ruby P.

    I really enjoyed the American cuisine here--great food and a nice atmosphere overall. I ordered the French onion soup and the Reuben eggrolls. The French onion soup seems to be popular here, and as soon as I saw that buttery-looking pastry puff baked on top, I knew I had to order it! It was definitely hearty, with plenty of onions (which I love). However, it was a bit saltier than I prefer. I do wish there were an option to substitute the onion soup with a chowder, like clam or corn chowder. The Reuben eggrolls were surprisingly good! I'm used to traditional Asian eggrolls, so I really liked this creative twist. The house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, and melted Gruyère cheese worked so well together. They tasted amazing with the spicy Russian dipping sauce (which I appreciated wasn't too spicy). It was such a flavorful and memorable dish! I'm glad I gave it a try.

    My wife and I stopped here as stop #2 of our day date and it was a great experience. The ambiance was nice and welcoming. There were a lot of people having lunch there. We sat at the bar and the bartending was very friendly and helpful as it was our first time there. She let us try a bunch of different tap cocktails and frozen drinks. I ordered the frozen old fashioned, it was delicious! Super tasty, strong, good size, and price. My wife ordered a pineapple martini, which I tried and it was also tasty. The bartender came over and gave us a free appetizer tasting which was awesome. It was coconut shrimp, fried asparagus, chicken tenders & crab stuffed mushrooms. You can tell they really care about the customers. I would love to come back and try a full meal with my family.

    Spinach Dip
    Liza K.

    Where has this place been hiding? I swear I've drivin this shopping center a hundred times over and never paid any attention to this cute little place. My friend suggested it and wow! I'm going back. We started with a few froze's. Shared the Spinach Dip, Coconut Shrimp, and split a bowl of the clam chowder. All of it was amazing. The service was great. Such a cute place and they have a great patio situation for when the weather gets warmer. We will definitely be back.

    Crab cake entree
    Aria M.

    All I can say is WOW - after a long day my partner and I wanted some good food and good drinks, and fortunately we picked CraftWay. We came in pretty late (urgent care visit slowed us down lol) but were treated with kindness and quick, attentive service. I love a good frozen drink and the frozen Paloma did not disappoint. I ordered the crab cake on advice from our server and my partner got the steak frites. But we're amazing, but I swear - the lemon butter sauce that came with the crab cake is magical. Plus the brussel sprouts were probably the best I've ever had. You can tell everything here is made with care and the staff takes pride in the service and food. We will definitely be back soon - this might be a new regular spot for us!!

    My cocktail was good. A pineapple martini.

    When I was here last month, I was brought to this location by the group that I was with, and the food was delicious. So when I had to return this month for some training, I brought the individual I was traveling with here. Great service from our server, Caleb, he was friendly and outgoing and truly displayed great hospitality. Their menu has so many great things on it that it is hard to choose just one item. Because I wasn't that hungry. I decided to go with a salmon bowl. This, in my mind, is actually the perfect portion sizing for dinner as it was a nice piece of salmon perfectly cooked and season by the way, on top of a small bit of cilantro rice with some tomatoes , avocado, red onion, and arugula. Truly the perfect portion size and I devoured everything on the plate.

    Went for a birthday lunch. Everyone ranted and RAVED about their food. But the star of the show? The blue cheese chips!!

    Pasta, beef wellington
    Jessica M.

    I love when restaurants split the plates without having to ask. This was my first time having beef Wellington and wowwww! So good. Service was great! Drinks were strong and tasty. Can't go wrong at craftway at all.

    French onion soup
    Amy D.

    Craftway Kitchen is extremely popular for a reason. We had a table outside, which was seasonally decorated and fun with surrounding holiday lights. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. I ordered a chicken Cobb salad which was generously portioned with extremely fresh ingredients. The French onion soup came with a delicious and generously sized puff pastry on top. It was equally excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Does your fry oil have soybean oil (note: vegetable oil, canola blend, and other blends frequently use soybean oil?

    Hi David, yes our fryer oil does have soybean oil in it. We can sauté in other oils if you let your server know when you are there, we are more than happy to accommodate.

    OpenTable says you are dog friendly. Is that correct?

    dogs are allowed on the patio

    Do you have happy hour on Friday?

    Yes, 6PM

    Hi! 3 things. Do you offer gluten free buns, can you accommodate a group of 13, and are you open Christmas Eve at 5pm? Thanks so much!

    They are a 'craft' kitchen, making things from scratch (except specialty pre made items @beef Wellington), I'm sure they will try to accommodate you!

    Is this one of Tom Cohliccio's restaurants? I knew them as Craft, but not sure if this is one and he has added to the name Craft.

    Hi Shay, thank you for your question. We are a locally owned and operated restaurant and are not affiliated with Tom Cohliccio. We hope you have the chance to dine with us.

You can add as many components as you want( clearly you pay for the more items you have on your charcuterie board). We chose three meats and two cheeses. The ricotta was so good!

Both of these dishes tasted good, though the steak in the French dip was a bit tough to chew and not as tender as I would have liked. Finally, we finished our meal with the pistachio tres leches cake which was just delightful -- perfectly nutty and not overly sweet!

Music was loud enough to where I could hear my husband across the table but not anyone else around me. We could still hear the comforting sound of the fountain and fans that blew a cooling mist too! We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer and it came out in literally 60 seconds. Bread didn't taste like pretzels, but it was tasty and the sauces yummy. Like, I could order the bites and some beers and be perfectly content. But I was here for the fish n chips and I was so happy! I'd have preferred a full filet of fish, but the batter was so crispy and salty (I love salt!). Fries were okay and basic but not bad with malt vinegar (I can literally drink that stuff!). Husband got the elite brisket flatbread. It was huge and honestly we'll probably just split this next time we come. It was delicious and back of the throat spicy, but the toppings were outstanding and brisket was tender!! Service was soooo quick and easy and the waitress has the decency to look away as you tip.

We ordered the Boss Hog flatbread, chips and queso, and two margaritas the Skinny Bear on the rocks and the Caddy frozen margarita. We definitely enjoyed the happy hour discounts, which made the visit even better. We started with our drinks, and both margaritas were mixed very well. The Skinny Bear did seem a little stronger, but both had great flavor and were easy to enjoy. For appetizers, we ordered the chips and queso. The chips were thin, crispy, and had a nice dash of seasoning on them, but we do wish they had been served hot. The queso was warm, but not piping hot, and the texture was a little gritty, almost powder-like. We were expecting a creamier cheese, so it was good, but not our favorite part of the meal. Now, the star of the show was definitely the Boss Hog flatbread. It was cooked to perfection, baked really well, and had that nice crispy texture. The toppings were generous, and every bite had great flavor. I would absolutely order it again. The ambiance was also amazing. We loved being able to see the brewery, and the dim lighting set a cool, relaxed tone. The employees were nice, friendly, and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. I would definitely come back to try more menu items, and I recommend Union Bear for a cute date night, happy hour, or a laid back evening with good drinks and food.

When we checked their reviews online, it didn't look too promising, but the menu sounded amazing so we decided to come back the next day and try the food. I am so glad that we did! Every single thing we ordered was absolutely amazing. We were able to order the bucket of fried chicken for $20 off of the happy hour menu which was four boneless, skinless breaded fried chicken thighs and they came out hot and perfect! They were so good. We also ordered one Baja fish taco and we regretted not ordering more because they were really good. We also ordered the lobster Bucatini, which was an amazing flavor, but honestly a bit disappointing on the portion size, it could have come with a bit more pasta and sauce, and a piece of bread would've been nice for the sauce. We ended our meal with the crème brûlée cheesecake which I was kind of scared to order because I really love crème brûlée but I'm not a super fan of cheesecake but Earl's did it 10 out of 10 perfect! Hands-down, one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. For the drinks, I ordered an old-fashioned and my husband ordered a Moscow mule. Both of our drinks were great, we were very impressed and will definitely be back next time. We are in Plano. Dining tip: in order to take advantage of the happy hour, whether it be for lunch or dinner, you do have to sit in the bar, lounge, and I believe the outdoor patio counts as well. Your basic dining area does not give you access to the happy hour pricing.
