It's getting harder and harder to find a restaurant that actually cooks a burger to order. I ordered a medium-rare Italian Burg'r and that's what I got. The burger was perfectly cooked. I LOVED my side of Crafty Beans. My second side of Mac 'n Cheese also was tasty. My wife almost finished her perfectly cooked Crafty BBQ Burg'r. Nice atmosphere and speedy service. They spelled Guinness wrong! read more

Came here with family, 5 of us, after 7 on a weeknight evening. Not too crowded. We were told to seat ourselves. Server was quick to take our drink orders, which were delivered quickly, and our food orders a few mins later. Husband ordered Guinness which came in a bottle. Two of us ordered chicken tenders, and three ordered burgers. Everything arrived after about 10 mins, and cooked exactly as expected. I had the chicken fingers which were way bigger than fingers, with onion rings and the rotating side which was a garbanzo salad. There were 4 flattened and breaded pieces of chicken breasts and crispy batter fried onion rings. The salad had garbanzo beans, tomatoes, peppers, onion, and cucumbers with a light vinaigrette. It was all a huge portion and really good. Would definitely order this again. Noise level was low as it was getting close to their closing time. Server was polite and professional. She checked on us regularly but didn't rush us. Will definitely return. read more

We thought this was going to be a good experience, until I mentioned that my son had a dairy allergy and our server was abrupt, rude, unhelpful, and abrasive. We were all taken aback by her tone and unwillingness to be helpful. I'm not sure why the attitude was necessary and we all felt very uncomfortable, so we decided to leave. This was at the antiquity location. read more

First time eating here. Really enjoyed the overall atmosphere bartender was super nice. We tried the fried mushrooms which were so good. And we both tried burgers would definitely come back. Nice little local joint. read more

Regarding your Antiquity location. My family and I have been frequent customers for months, ordering about once a week. We have always enjoyed your food and had planned to continue making Crafty Burger part of our regular routine. Unfortunately, our last two dine-in experiences over the past few weeks have been deeply disappointing. During our first recent visit, our server was inattentive and unhelpful. She did not return to our table after taking our order and gave the clear impression that she did not want to be there. Our second visit, last night, was significantly worse. We came with our three daughters after seeing the sign for half-priced burgers. From the moment we sat down, the service felt abrupt and discourteous. When I began asking about the special, the server cut me off mid-sentence to say it only applied to the plain burger. As we tried to order, she repeatedly interrupted both me and my husband, rushing us through each step rather than allowing a simple, straightforward interaction. When ordering for our daughters, I mentioned their toppings, and she responded curtly that ketchup and mustard were on the table. When our food arrived and I asked for ketchup, she again pointed to the table, despite ours being empty. At the end of the meal, I asked for two boxes and whether our daughters' snow cones could be put in to-go cups since the weather had turned cold and windy. She responded dismissively, saying they would melt, and acted as though the request was unreasonable. She eventually brought the snow cones back without a word, dropped the check, and left. When I again asked for boxes, she returned and placed them on the table in a manner that felt intentionally abrupt. The overall experience felt unnecessarily tense and unwelcoming from start to finish. It was honestly surprising, especially given how often we have supported your restaurant. Because of these last two visits, we have decided that we will not be returning, either for dine-in or takeout. This is disappointing for us, as we had been looking forward to making Crafty Burger part of our weekly family routine, especially as the weather warms. I wanted to share this directly, as I believe it is important for you to be aware of what guests are experiencing in your dining room. read more

My time here wasn't as good as the last time. We sat inside near the bar. The bartender gave us the wrong beer, my burger didn't seem fresh, it was frozen and cheap. read more

It's been a while since visiting Crafty Burg'r. I remember loving the Huntersville location. Maybe it's my mind playing tricks but nothing that I remembered was what was in front of me today (I checked their Instagram and believe my memory is accurate). The burger was cooked to the right temp and all came out as promised. The negative is that it had frozen Bubba burger vibes and accompanied by frozen Sysco fries. Overall the taste was fine but I'd rather save the junk food for something worth splurging on. This was not it. Service was great. read more

Great service from the bartender but you need to do better with your food. Your burger took me back 35 years to an elementary school lunch burger. It tasted like a pre made patty that was reheated. It was awful. My daughter couldn't even eat her kids burger. Said it tasted worse than it smelled and it smelled like 2 week old burger meat. read more

Great Burger s Speedy service. Ordered the crispy green Brussel Sprouts but I can't remember if they were out of them or don't have them at all. read more

Cool little spot in a great area near Davidson college. Not too far off i40. It was nice and clean with a great vibe. We had lunch there on a Friday and it wasn't too busy at all with great service. I'd had a burger the day before so I opted for a chicken sandwich, but I'll be back try to a burger! The bacon jam burger looked exceptionally appealing. Unfortunately they were out of onion rings so I went the sweet potato fries. They were great, but I'm definitely going o rings and a burger next round. And I'm definitely going back. I went with the boom boom chicken and it was on point! It was huge (I couldn't reasonably finish it). The chicken was fried perfect, the buns toasted, and that boom boom sauce was a nice touch. They did have a bar and a nice local beer selection on tap. I couldn't partake during this lunch, but I look forward to visiting again when I can. read more

It's great. Love the crafty classic burger and the veggie burger. Never a problem on takeout orders, always accurate. Staff is very pleasant. A real plus in our neighborhood. read more

This is a cute burger place right in downtown Cornelius. It is very casual here. You can seat yourself and look over their great menu of burgers and sandwiches. They have delicious sides here that I have tried and they are all fresh and made in house. They have a very attentive staff that will accommodate you if an item you ordered arrives and you didn't like it. My husband ordered slaw that looked delicious but it had seeds on it that he can't have. The server promptly replace it with something else. There is a great beer menu also, with a regular bar in the front where you can sit. This is a regular go to place close to home that I enjoy. It is relatively inexpensive and good local food. read more

Loved this nice surprise! Stopped here put of the blue on an excursion in our jeep! What a great burger! I loved the different levels & areas of seating. I would come back & already shared with friends! read more

Felt rushed from the moment I sat down. Sorta rude with wanting me to order quick. Waited a little while and ordered an app and some beers. Took a while for being so rushed. Even the last next to me was rushed. One bite in the the waiter was handing off the check. Terrible experience read more

Service was fast, good and left wanting for nothing. Aloha burger was very tasty and sweet potato fries really good and apple slaw was nice. Only want would be bun to be toasted so it didn't fall apart so easily. read more

I really wanted brunch from B&F but they seem to no longer offer it on Saturday's so I decided to try this spot that I've never heard of. A quick review of the menu and I decided on the veggie/black bean burger with swiss, sautéed onions and mushrooms, lettuce and tomato. It was good but the bread was not toasted or grilled and threw the sandwich off a bit. The sweet potato fries were good, and the bread pudding was burned on the bottom but the portion that survived the burn was good. read more

Love this place! Was a really happy find. Had some time waiting for my daughter to do a drama practice and thought I'd stop by. Great burgers. Great sides. It was really hard to decide on what to take - all the selections were amazing! I'll surely be back. Great atmosphere! Small and comfy and quaint. I'll be back! read more

The short version: the burgers were barely average but the sides and service were great. The positive of this place really focuses on the customer service and the amazing sides. We started with the Gouda cheese sticks, I know other reviews didn't find them amazing but we did. The melty goodness had a great batter and the ranch/BBQ dip was really a good pairing. With the burger we got the Mac and cheese, which seemed to have an extra something savory in it, and the bread pudding which was sweet but not too sweet. If I had to stop there this place would be a five but I must continue... The burger... the name sake of this joint was blah. The bun was dry and stayed dry since he meat was also dry. No grill flavor or juices with this burger so don't look for it. The sell was that it was a garlic burger, a Halloween these to keep the vampires away. I'm pretty sure even vampires wouldn't have noticed the garlic flavor either. The burger was just so dang boring it can't be what they are supposed to be good at. Try again Crafty Burger... read more

Service Starts our Great but Dies in the End This is the 2nd Crafty Burg'r in Cornelius and has been open a for about a month. I've been to the other location in Kenton Place a couple of times after they first opened but stopped going because of poor service as in being totally ignored, Decided to give this place a try tonight on my way to meeting with some friends to see if it had improved. At first I was thrilled with the service. Walked in and the hostess asked where I wanted to be seated. Seats were available immediately at the bar and it would only be couple of minutes for a table. She then asked if I would be willing to sit on the patio. Beautiful day with nice sunset so why not. My server was out in just a minute, gave me a set of menu's and took my drink order. She was back in under a minute and by that time, I was ready to order. My order was a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and for my two sides, I ordered Fried Onion Rings and Crafty Beans. With my meeting at 8, I was a little concerned about how long it was going to take to cook my meal but it was ready in record time. All in all, the meal was fair. The Buffalo Chicken had just the right amount of heat and the Chicken was nice and moist which was good. Took much dressing on the Sandwich made for a very messy meal. The Fried Onion rings are more like onion straws and I don't know what to make of the Crafty Beans. It's like BBQ Beans but made with what appears to be three different types of bean. Some heat but they really don't cut it. This where service died. The hostess walked past and I asked her if she could get our server to bring my check since I needed to leave shortly. 5 minutes later I'm getting ready to get and go in and hand the hostess $20 to cover the bill and leave. (Bill actually came our to somewhere around $12.56). About this time, the server walked out and handed my my check to which I looked at it and handed her back the check and my credit card. She went to the next table and apparently knew the patrons and after a brief discussion with them, took their order. After she took the order, I stopped her and took back my card and gave her the $20 and told her to keep it, I didn't have time to wait on change. She took the short term approach and was thrilled about the 50% + tip not realizing that the only reason she got it was not for good service but grossly inferior service. Ended up in the end, taking about 15 minutes plus to pay my check and I was late at the next meeting. Same poor service as the original read more

Looking for a great tasty burger place? This is the best one around!!' The burgers are really juicy and delicious. The prices are reasonable. The burgers are excellent portioned, as the burger is thick and big, not to mention the side dishes that had such delicious flavors and also available in a portion that is big enough to satisfy just about anyone:) The place is really homey and comfortable. It is always clean and very presentable. The waitress and the staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive at their guests. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Came here for dinner, and we were seated on the patio. The waiter was attentive and friendly the entire time! We ordered a cobb salad and buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Both were really great! Fries were delicious. They offer a wide variety of beers which is also great. The only thing I would change is their ranch dressing is watery and lacks flavor, bwill be back! Update: second visit the ranch was much better! We had excellent food and service again. Very pleased! read more

I want to like this place more, I really do. We live in the apartments complex nearby and find ourselves going to Shake Shack more for a couple of reasons. 1. Service..or rather, lack of. You have to be a regular on a first name basis to get decent service here. we see our waitress 3 times. Taking a drink order, taking the food order and the check. They dont even check on you after someone else brings the food to your table. They are always standing over the regulars, laughing it up. You get the point, I'll move on... 2. Long wait for food. It's a Sunday afternoon at 4pm. About 3 tables are filled and a couple of barstools. 20 minutes and counting since we ordered and the waitress, and our food, nowhere to be found. Once you getvthe food its good but dont expect a refill. read more

This is the second Crafty location I've visited, and I definitely liked it more than the Huntersville spot. The bar is a little more inviting and its in a really cute spot in Cornelius. Our large party had to wait about 20 minutes (on a Friday night, not too bad), but we were able to grab beers and hang outside while we waited. The dining room is a little small, but I have a feeling they like it this way, because the place always seems to be packed. Since I've eaten at one Crafty before I decided to switch up my order and go with their version of a Cheese Burger salad. Honestly, it was AWESOME. All of the great flavors of a classic burger, just in a salad. I would absolutely get this again. Despite being in a large crowd, our food came out fast and prompt after we ordered. The service was also fantastic. Drinks always full and no issues splitting checks with multiple diners. They have an awesome draft and bottled selection of local beers and were really friendly about giving small samples before ordering. I will be back! read more

Boom Boom Chicken is my go to. Sandwiches come with 2 sides. A great value and nice selection of beers on tap.

Great service. Always tasty burgers and amazing mixologists. Just a very mellow and chill vibe.

This is a great place to stop in for a burger (they also have great salads). The menu is adequate, without being overwhelming with options. They have a good selection and the kitchen does well with what they offer. It's simple, confident and not pretending to be anything else. Portion sizes feel proper. You leave feeling full, but not sick. The staff is courteous and accommodating. This restaurant is good for couples, meeting friends for a night out, or a place to have dinner with the kids. I really enjoy coming to Crafty. read more

I visited Crafty Burg'r while attending the 2nd Friday event. The wait was a little over 30 minutes, which wasn't terrible considering it was a Friday night and there was an event going on. The atmosphere was nice although it was a bit tight with so many people. The staff members were kind and attentive. The prices were great. I had the Bacon Jam Chick'n. The fried chicken was moist and delicious. The jam seemed more like dry crumbled bacon, it was good...just not what I expected. I requested the Apple slaw be placed on the side just in case I didn't like it -I'm not a fan of slaw in general, but this was edible. They forgot my side of mayo, but eventually brought it out. My fries were cold, but they were happy to bring me a fresh batch out of the fryer. The crafty beans were delicious and I would recommend getting them. The fried Oreos were good...if I ordered them again I'd request the chocolate sauce on the side because it was a bit much for me. The fried bread pudding was out of this world and the caramel sauce came on the side of them so you could choose how much you wanted, unlike the Oreos. The portions were fairly generous. If I lived in the area I would definitely return. read more

Busy Monday and I don't feel like going to the house just to rush out for errands so why not a burger on the way? Why not? Because the entrance is on the other side of the store than the parking lot. Not a big deal until it is... raining... a lot. Because the guy tending the register sounds like dying cattle when he sings along with song machine... (apologies to cattle.) Because that same guy was adjusting his underwear with the same hands he uses to pour your beer... and count out my change... So how was your beer? read more

Had a burger. The bun slightly overwhelms the meat but it was good. Burger and 2 sides is $9.99 which in today's market isn't bad. Large selection of craft beer but didn't have my favorite- Guiness. Will eat there again. read more

I always enjoy coming to either of the Craft Burg'r places close to me. The food is always good. The fried avocados are pretty spectacular (sounds odd but worth it). The baked beans are really good too. I have a love/hate relationship with the dish they are served in. Fun to see and nice touch but kind of irritating to eat out if. The burgers that I've tried have all been great; one may even call them crafty. ...I kill me.
