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. read more

So many employees lots people. All walking by us but took a while for a waiter . And they had just opened, not very many people. I had the steak frites. The steak was cooked perfectly has potential to be amazing just needs spices desperately needs some spices . The French fries they covered with paprika but the steak nothing Husband had the French dip , he loved it . He loved the bread said he was able to eat it without having to tear it with his teeth , some hoagies are tough , this wasn't just nice and soft . The meat was tender, not fatty and but held together such as you could dip it without having a giant mass of meat inside the sauce, it was actually in the sandwich you could dip it, eat it, but it was soft enough that you could eat it. Was loud inside and cold. Our waiter was so nice , up until he walked up my husband wanted to leave . Cause people that came in after us were being offered water and no one had said anything to us . I am gluten free, there wasn't much attention given to my food allergy. But I can manage and know how to protect myself. The waiter wrote down my food allergy but didn't seem to pay it any mind read more

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. read more

Reboot: Returned to this lively afternoon spot. Tried the Reuben egg rolls--if you love pastrami, you'll be thoroughly impressed. I'll definitely ask if they can add some different drink options. I appreciate most of the menu. I must also highlight how exceptional the staff is; they treat you like family, especially the young man from Addison! Revisited and re-loved it! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went to lunch at CraftWay Kitchen today for the first time. We were a party of 8 and they were able to seat us fairly quickly. Our server was Gigi and she was great! Awesome personality, attentive, and upbeat. The blue cheese chips and spinach dip appetizers were a great start. I had the Cajun pasta with chicken. Although it wasn't very spicy it had excellent flavor, the pasta was saucy and the chicken was a nice large portion. The bread was perfectly crisp and buttery. The portion size was enough for lunch and dinner leftovers. My colleagues enjoyed their salads with steak, chicken Milanese, and smash burger. Everyone raved about their food. Will definitely be going back to try other items on the menu! read more

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. read more

Sooo I went back. Brought my entire family for my mom's birthday. No pics, because- hungry! Burgers and fries- 10/10 from the college girls. Stole and few fries and instant jealousy. Ribs are very tasty! They aren't fall off the bone tender, but fork tender. Huge portion of ribs so order extra sauce. I got the chili brussell sprouts instead of mac and cheese. Best brussell sprouts of my life! I need to know who made them, and what day they work. Seriously, dm me. Last dish at the table was the special of the day- blackened chicken alfredo with pesto. My bro said it was a 10/10 and advises to order with extra pesto. Said it was fresh and delicious. Service is friendly. Like genuinely friendly people. A table of six had all entrees very quickly. I can't estimate the time, because I'm not me when I'm hungry My first go round didn't go well, but my return visit lets me know why it is packed every day of the week. Get your reservations folks read more

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! read more

We were in from out of town and met some friends at Craftway for dinner. We arrived after they did and they had opted to sit on the outdoor patio, which is heated. I am so glad they did, it was quieter outside than inside so we could have a nice conversation. My only gripe, is that the space heaters were quite HOT, and right on your face. The service was great, our friend has some serious food allergies and our waiter was kind and patient, ensuring no EpiPens were needed. I had the steak and it was cooked just as requested and the mashed potatoes were good, not great, but it could have done with a veg option. They have a good selection of beer/wine/liquor and I would definitely come back again, read more

Absolutely wonderful lunch with Gigi! The food is always outstanding and the happy hour drinks are top notch. We had a large group and they took the best care of all of us! They even brought us a fabulous dessert to celebrate our tennis team win and we could not recommend them enough! We always choose Craftway after tennis matches! read more

The service and atmosphere of this place is a delight but the food fell short of the greatness I expected. Both the french toast and the tacos lacked proper flavor that one would expect. The food was so beautiful but the beauty did not go beyond a cute pic. We had fun and the drinks were good but I think next time we will try some lunch options. read more

What a great first time here! Our server, Jade, was simply amazing! Sweet, kind, attentive, and gave us some great info on the menu and what to try. My husband had the breakfast plate, and I opted for the baby back ribs and skinny fries. Both were fantastic. Their Bloody Mary was awesome, too. We were able to get in Saturday for brunch with no wait. The atmosphere was great, and we will definitely be back. Give Jade a raise because she sold us on this place! read more

This has always been a great place to go for dinner. We had a late lunch 2 days ago, with my wife ordering the smashed burger and I had the Reuben. The burger was delicious. But my Reuben? Very, very disappointing. I've never had a Reuben sandwich with pastrami sliced very thick. Why would the meat not be thinly sliced, as it should be. Each bite would pull the entire slice out. Crazy! Tender? No. Not at all. The Old Fashions? One frozen and one regular? OUTSTANDING. My message to the restaurant- Change the way you slice the pastrami. My message to patrons- pass on the pastrami Reuben until management fixes the issue. read more

Our waitress GiGi was absolutely incredible..we were in town awaiting the birth of our granddaughter and stopped in for lunch...I had the grilled Cobb and my wife had the shrimp salad...both were exceptional...we told GiGi the reason we were in town....when she brought the check she also brought us a dessert to congratulate us...will definitely come back again. read more

I can see why Craftway has so many positive reviews. However, after visiting many times in the past few years I would honestly would give it 3 1/2 stars. Here's what I like: I like the overall energy, it's warm and friendly and service is good. I like the cocktails and wine list. I did enjoy my entree which was the steak salad. Steak was cooked exactly as I ordered and was tasty. What I think is a miss-the salmon is consistently overcooked. Not a lot, maybe a couple of minutes but in those minutes salmon goes from juicy to dry. Another miss for me is the noise level-it is SO hard to have a conversation here! My ears were still ringing after I left the restaurant. This really affects my enjoyment level. read more

This was my husband's and my first visit, and what a perfect way to kick off the new year! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. We were warmly greeted by a friendly hostess, and our server, Brandon, took the experience to the next level. Complimentary appetizers, expertly crafted cocktails, and then the food arrived--absolutely outstanding. It's clear the owner truly understands what top-tier service looks like. The menu is packed with incredible options (choosing was the hardest part!), and the quality shines through in every detail. We're already planning our return--brunch is next! Quality. Quality.

So it's been over a year since I was here and I love the new changes. They now dim the lights and we went around 7pm. There are no words for how delicious this food is and I haven't had anything bad yet. That salmon bowl is a must and I never order salmon out at restaurants but it was highly recommend by our server Brandon. Brandon was very attentive and even switched out my glass half way through my drink to keep it cold. That's top notch customer service and I love the fact that you can see the teamwork in the building. The strawberry 75 was my favorite! I have got to come back more often! read more

Everything was great. Server Caleb was attentive and promptly. Food order was excellent- I ordered crab cake with Brussels sprouts, hubby ordered chicken Milanese. Mine couldn't have been tastier, definitely a favorite for me. Hubbys was sa little crispier chicken than preferred but he ate every morsel. If we're back in the area I'll definitely return here.

What a great restaurant in Plano! Last weekend some friends and and I decided to check out Craftway Kitchen in Plano and discovered that this was a gem of a restaurant. They have a super welcoming environment and a vibrant restaurant scene. There is an outdoor patio and plenty of indoor seating. The restaurant was lively and great vibes. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The dishes are very reasonably priced but more importantly, tasted amazing and had good portion size . I had a chicken fig sandwich with brussels sprouts which was healthy but also tasted so good! They have a great wine and beer selection also. We had a fabulous evening and I definitely recommend Craftway Kitchen for anyone looking to have a great meal with friends. read more

Food was fantastic and service was fast and personable. Can't wait to go again. Pork chops and red fish were winners

Wow this place is pretty incredible! They have such a varied menu from pastrami and chicken sandwich to more elevated offerings like filet and beef Wellington. It's like casual fine dining as my husband says. The vibe is nice and the service is really good. We enjoyed pretty much everything but the only issue of the night was the pork chops. They were way too salty and too tough. They did offer to remake or make a different entree and eventually they comped us for that. The front house manager even came to speak to us which shows intentionality and a commitment to maintaining high standards. They were very apologetic and noted that they will pass that comment on. Some of the highlight dishes for me were the crab stuffed mushrooms, croissant bread pudding, beef Wellington and the blackened redfish. I look forward to returning to try more items! We made a reservation but was out there in an hour 15 minutes which feels fast for this kind of restaurant! read more

Popped in for a late lunch/early dinner around 4pm. The ambience is nice and casual with games on the tv screens but also people sitting at tables chatting with friends! I started with a frozen paloma- which was yummy and strong. For food I ordered the cajun chicken past with shrimp and the chicken tender appetizers. I knew I wanted to cut up the chicken tenders and add it to the pasta-- it was delicious!!! I can't remember my server's name but he was very attentive! I will definitely be back! read more

I don't know if I'm ordering the wrong thing or what, but they always almost hit the mark with me when it comes to the food. I got the steak and double eggs, no potatoes. The steak wasn't cooked medium for sure, had no seasoning, only the taste of the grill. Like char. The eggs were so pretty, I could taste the butter, but I'm pretty sure they were powered. The best thing on the plate was the bacon. During my other visits, I will say the drinks didn't disappoint. I believe it was the Frozen Flight. Also, please get the pineapple martini! Oh and I must say, every waitress that has served us, is so pleasant, so nice, very accommodating and welcoming. Just happy all around. read more

It was our first time eating at this establishment. They have a recent health score of 92 from the Plano Health Dept. We decided to stop by there on Saturday around 5:15. The eatery was quite busy. They also have a patio for those who wish to dine outside. We were seated inside within 5 minutes. We were greeted by a cheerful server named Logan. Our best description of this restaurant decor is it is an upscale Chili's. We wanted a light meal, so we ordered Cajun pasta, spinach dip, crab stuffed mushrooms and a pineapple martini. Overall, the food was good. The food is pricey for what is offered on the menu. I would classify the food as average in comparison to the same type of offerings with area competing restaurants. The service from the server was very good. Personally, I like my nearby Chili's better. read more

My date found this place on a search for a casual yet nice date night. Though we had a reservation we decided to sit at the bar. Lauren and Peter were AMAZING! Always there if something was needed yet never felt intrusive. Their personalities were very different yet balanced each other perfectly. We were definitely treated like we had been there a million times yet at the same time letting us know the ins and outs of the menu and so forth. Always were there when needed yet never feeling like they were there at all. You HAVE to get the French onion soup! We have traveled the world and agreed it was the best we ever had. Truly Devine. My salmon was cooked perfectly and they let me exchange the asparagus for potatoes without question. I didn't get a bite of the Cobb salad it looked amazing and I was told it was fabulous. Definitely a place we will be back to over and over again! Thank Peter, Lauren and the kitchen staff for giving us a great night out in a time we're good service is hard to find. Oh and the refresh of a chilled glass for my martini was a touch I didn't expect but loved! read more

All u taste is basil. Chicken parmesan not Parmesan! ... Dry and had a pesto type sauce. Ambiance is great but Not worth the $200 for 3 adults and a childl! The Fish & chips was good but how do you screw that up? Terrible long Island ice tea. Great espresso martini. read more
