Cajun Pasta with Shrimp or Chicken
Tee J.

This establishment is very nice aesthetically. I got a pineapple martini, stuffed mushrooms, and Cajun pasta with chicken. And let's not forget dessert because why not. I believe it was butter cake. The chicken with the pasta could have been a bit more tender but that sauce was everything.

Charcuterie
Courtney Thompson

My boyfriend and I love to stop in to Craftway for consistently yummy food and great service. They have a full bar and will let you taste test their frozen drinks, which is so helpful for my indecisive nature. The ambiance gives upscale casual dining. I love getting their charcuterie boards. We always try a new main dish, as everything is so appealing. We will be back!

Flaky Pot pie
Drew R.

Stopped in for a quick bite and this place didn't disappoint. Ordered the shrimp and grits entree along with their take on a pot pie. Both were excellent, although you shouldn't expect the pot pie to be a major filler; though the unique flaky top was a different twist from the usual expectations that come with a pot pie. The thing I enjoyed most about this place is how friendly all the staff were and on top of that they even gave me a coupon for $20 off the next visit. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit as I really want to try the Beef Wellington!

1 fish taco & 1 chicken taco
Gem N.

Lively atmosphere - great fast and friendly service. Food tasted fresh and full of flavor - definitely a place we will return to very soon! I personally had the ahi tuna bowl and it was super yummy! Although the tuna portion was a little on the small size

Bourbon Blackberry Smash
Greg R.

What a great little spot. We sat out on the patio and while the traffic noise from Southlake Blvd was a little much at times - the patio was well done and felt very welcoming. We began our meal with the Calamari which was lightly battered and perfectly cooked. I had the Bourbon Blackberry Smash and it was pretty good. A little more tart than I expected but it was good and well made. Out entrees arrived together with the presentation of each plate being most excellent. I had the Beer Battered Fish & Chips and my wife had the Coconut shrimp which was to die for (I stole much of it). The other couple with us had shrimp plates as well and there were zero leftovers to take home. I would be remiss if I failed to mention our service was spot-on. Our waiter was always there when needed but rarely noticed. He took great care of us and made us want to come back again soon!!

Salmon sandwich

Love this place!! The service is always great and the chef even came out to our table to introduce himself! The food is always very yummy and the environment is cozy! I enjoy eating here!

We came here around 2 pm on a weeked, and it was fairly empty. Our waitress was sweet and recommended the frozen "drink of the day", a piña colada. I took her up on it for a mere $7, and it was delicious, complete with a toasted coconut rim. It also made me pretty sleepy for the rest of the day, so it must have had more booze than I tasted. My husband was hungry and ordered the shrimp pasta. I went with the Reuben egg roll app, which could have used more corned beef. The strange part was the wait. We waited and waited for a very simple order, while two four tops who came in after us received their food about 15 minutes before we did. Eventually we asked our waitress about it, and she brought the food out right away. I was worried it had been sitting under the salamander in the kitchen, but it was piping hot. Everything was fine overall, but there is no real need for a repeat visit. There is a pretty nice outdoor seating area, but with Texas heat, it likely is only useable for 3 months outta the year.

Martini swap by Kenny
Dana S.

Craft kitchen and everything was made fresh and to order. The food was amazing in an elegant atmosphere. Our server Kenny was personable and explained everything including the martini swap to keep our drinks cold.

Crab cake and brussels sprouts... picture doesn't do it justice!
Tiffany C.

Super cute outdoor area was having a party of sorts...it looks great as it's covered! On the inside there is a variety of booth and table seating plus the bar. We had a lovely waiter and he recommended the crab cake. We started with blue cheese and bacon crumbled over chip. Devine! I had fried cat fish and shrimp. Super delicious!!! The hubs had the crab cake and brussels sprouts. He said the crab cake was amazing! Service was great and food yum-o!!!

Fish and shrimp
Patricia H.

Second visit to this location. This time with a party of ten. Restaurant was slamming busy. Our server Cassidy was great. The service was good but the food had a few problems. Our appetizer Coconut shrimp was very overcooked and rubbery. One entree with pork chops had one cooked and one half raw. The sauce with the steak fritte was over spiced. 6 entrees were great. Just in a rush I guess !!!

Tommy L.

We finally broke rotation and tried CraftWay Kitchen in Southlake. The service by Aidan (and the food) were impeccable. We tried the calamari, crabcake, and redfish. Holy smokes! The carafe mimosas are on point! If you have not tried it, I highly recommend you do. If you have, it is certainly worth the visit. Mike Hutchinson, owner/chef, came to the table and really made us feel welcome. The service is top tier, just what you look for! PS. We would have included pictures but it was simply too late for photos....

Chicken Tacos
Brandon P.

Really solid spot. The whole menu hits, and the food tastes like quality fun without trying too hard. Comfortable, consistent, and always a safe bet. Great happy hour too.

Cindy T.

Loved the ease of Open Table reservations. Kourtney was our server. She was friendly and attentive. We ordered they're blue cheese chips and fried calamari. Both tasty. Order the short ribs special over mashed potatoes. It was delicious. When she asked if we wanted dessert, we asked what they had. She brought the menu. We chose the croissant bread pudding and pumpkin special. So yummy. We ate everything. Six hrs later and I'm still stuffed! Dinner was fabulous, service was fantastic, the kitchen paced ourfood perfectly! Thank you so much. Oh, manager came by to check on us as well. Great touch!

Curry is a bit heavy but pairs well with their Naan. Honestly, the best thing here is their naan. Update: the chicken biriyani is pretty good! Drinks (2/5): Shocked by the quality based on their regular price. The Velvet Karma was okay (tasted like watery Bailey's with cinnamon). The Karma Sutra was mostly cough syrup, almost no liquor tasted in either. Both $15 each. Service (2/5): The waitresses are all hardworking but they seem super short-staffed. The whole place was packed but they're too busy to be out in the front. It took forever for food and drinks to come out also, despite it hasn't been packed yet. Took 15 min for the cocktail to be out and was watery... Ambiance (3/5): The live music at 7pm didn't start until 7:20. We came earlier and waited for it to start. Super disappointed and wanted to like this place. We can't see ourselves back unless these changes. It just seems stingey as a business to lack liquor in cocktails this price. The staff and manager were all nice, it's just not well run unfortunately.

It definitely blows typical bar food out of the water; it's evident that the owners have restaurant and service industry experience because every little detail has been thought of. They even make their sauces in house!! The juicy thick hotdog - could not get enough. The parmesan French fries - devoured. The tasty, cheesy burger rivaled any other gourmet burger joint. The place is a great time for people of all ages. There's plenty of seating. The sports are playing, and they encourage people to socialize, chat, and play games. What's better than cold drinks, great food, and fun times with friends? My friends and I will definitely be back!

They do let you know that there is an automatic 20% tip added to your tab up front, which you can add too if checking out using the link they text you. The special thing is they have a wall where you pick your own beer, cider and wine(?) that you activate with your wristband and are charged per ounce. I love the drink concept because it allows for folks to try a little bit of various options ... which they do have a number of local options on their wall. This is what I would return for, and bring friends to tet before we end up at another activity. Food wise: got a smash burger which came with fries, which if I order it again I'd probably change cheeses and ask for some pepper to season the fries a bit more ... all personal preferences... but was ok for something to eat to off set the two drinks I had while there. I also got some tacos to go for my husband. Again personal preference, he would have liked more seasoning/spice on the actual meat of the taco vs being as reliant on the salsa. So, on our next visit we might just stick with shareables/apps with our drinks.

An Expensive and Disappointing Birthday Dinner -- Questionable Wagyu and lackluster response by…read moreManagement We dined at Winewood Grill last night to celebrate a birthday, and unfortunately, what should have been a special evening turned into an expensive disappointment. Between the quality of the steak and the restaurant's lackluster handling of the situation, we left feeling that we had wasted our hard-earned money. I'll start with the positives. We ordered a bottle of house wine, and the young woman who served it was professional, courteous, and helpful. The charcuterie board was also very good and something I would recommend. Unfortunately, things went downhill when our entrées arrived. Let's talk about the Wagyu marketing problem. I've become increasingly skeptical of restaurants that advertise Wagyu beef at premium prices without clearly explaining what they're actually serving. Authentic Japanese Wagyu is a highly regulated product with specific breeding standards, grading systems, and traceability requirements. American Wagyu, on the other hand, generally refers to cattle with (possibly) some Japanese Wagyu genetics, often crossbred with American breeds. These are not necessarily comparable products, yet the Wagyu name is frequently used to justify significantly higher prices. I'm not opposed to American Wagyu. In fact, if a steak is beautifully marbled, exceptionally tender, flavorful, and properly prepared, I'm unlikely to question its pedigree. But when a restaurant uses the Wagyu designation to command premium prices, the quality had better justify the marketing. Our supposed Wagyu ribeye certainly did not. The 22-ounce steak was somewhat tough, particularly around the edges, which were overcooked despite our ordering it medium-rare plus. Portions were difficult to cut, much less enjoy. This was not remotely the tenderness or quality I would expect from a steak at this price point. We brought the problem to our server's attention, and the steak was taken back. Another employee, possibly an assistant manager, came to our table and asked what else we would like instead. Rather than risk ordering another disappointing Wagyu ribeye, we opted for the filet instead. Thankfully, the filet was considerably better. Unfortunately, the replacement took approximately another 30 minutes or longer to arrive. By then, all of our accompanying side dishes were completely cold. Nobody offered to replace or reheat them, and there appeared to be little concern about the fact that our birthday dinner had been disrupted. Our entire dinner lasted well over 2.5 hours. At that point, we were tired of addressing problems and simply ate what we could. I specifically requested to speak with the manager because I felt the situation warranted his attention. Jake eventually came to our table and, although pleasant enough, offered little in the way of a meaningful explanation or resolution. He mentioned that the restaurant cuts its steaks in-house and suggested that perhaps the ribeye had not been cut properly. Frankly, that's not a particularly reassuring explanation. Nor did he acknowledge that we'd waited another half hour for a replacement steak while our side dishes went cold. There was no offer to replace or reheat them, and no meaningful attempt to make up for what had become a disappointing birthday dinner. A steak that costs $90 or more should not be tough, overcooked around the edges, and difficult to cut. Whether the problem originated with the supplier, the selection of the meat, or its preparation, the responsibility ultimately belongs to the restaurant. And this brings me back to the larger issue of Wagyu marketing. If you're sourcing American Wagyu, be transparent about what that means. Tell customers where it comes from and what they're paying for. Don't rely on the Wagyu name to suggest a level of quality that the product doesn't deliver. If Snake River Farms is indeed your supplier, as we understood it might be, then I would encourage management to take a closer look at the consistency of the beef being purchased and served. At these prices, customers deserve better. For comparison, we dined at Bob's Steak & Chop House just the week before and had an excellent steak. They also offer beef marketed as Wagyu, but the difference in tenderness, preparation, and overall dining experience was substantial. When the product delivers on its promises, I'm much less concerned about the marketing terminology. The bottom line: Winewood Grill failed to deliver the quality, service, and attention to detail that its prices suggest. When a guest is celebrating a special occasion, has to return an expensive entrée, waits another half hour for a replacement, and is then left with cold side dishes, management should recognize that the dining experience has been compromised and make a genuine effort to correct it.
