Surprisingly good. I really recommend going around lunch or possibly a little after those hours to avoid a crowd. My group had a variety of food and everyone was satisfied with their meal. There's a variety of food options available and also even better, some very good craft beer options. It reminds me a little of Killingtons in Huntersville and on par with its quality. While maybe a little expensive as a whole for your meal, you're still getting your money's worth based on portion and again, the quality. Worth a visit. Service was friendly. Parking is easy. read more

Passed by Crafty one day and made a mental note to go back. Finally got some time to experience Crafty and had mixed feelings. When you walk in, it has a cool vibe that you want to hang out and enjoy. Obviously came for the Burgers.... Got a Double Cheese Bacon Burger (note that the waitress told me that each patty is about 5oz) with Fries (you two sides with your meal which threw me for a loop. My wife got the regular cheese burger with apple slaw and onion rings. Overall it was ok. The Good - Burger was Very Juicy. Fries were the shoestring style (nice and crispy). The appleslaw was really good. The Bad - Burger had really no flavor to it. Onion Rings should be "Onion Rings" not those straw pieces (too many people do that). I am not sure that I will be back as the main things that are supposed to be good were just mediocre. read more

I end up here with the wife or friends/co-workers occasionally after we remember it's actually there. I've had the good egg, bacon jam, and a myriad of other items and burgers and I always leave thinking the place is good, but could be much better. A lot of cool unique appetizers and sandwiches on the menu but some fall flat. The burgers all use the same patty it seems with little to no seasoning, cooked on a flat top, in a ragged looking shaped circle. The special toppings can be ok but the staples like lettuce/tomato tends to seem like grocery store quality. There are not a ton of amazing burger joints around so maybe it's the lack of competition here in the area? Maybe it's just that we're all packed in like sardines in the area so unique looks better than it is? read more

Initially it was crowded and they have a seat yourself sign. One waitress was very friendly and even while taking care of her tables she made everyone welcome coming through the door and helped people get tables in a fair manner. Our waiter was knowledgable and friendly. We ordered fried pickles as an app which you could tell they were made in house. You get 2 sides with your burger, I had Mac n cheese and fries. Fried were good, Mac n cheese was pretty good. Husband got the egg burger and I crafted my own. We will be coming back and bringing friends! read more

I tried the Pimento Burger with onions rings. Burger was good but the onion rings were just a bunch of over fried crumps similar, hardly any full size rings. They were similar to the onion ring toppings you'd find for topping salads. If that is the internet this I guess I was misled thinking they were actually going to have onion rings. read more

Really awesome place! The different choices of burgers are awesome, as well as the "craft your own burger". Watch the prices though, some of the craft your owns can get pretty pricey. All of the main burgers come with two sides! The Mac n cheese and bread pudding are to die for. You won't go wrong getting those for your two sides. They also have a nice selection of local beers from OMB, Triple-C and NoDa. Watch out going right at the prime lunch and dinner times though. The foyer gets very crowded and disorganized. It's a seat yourself atmosphere, so customers are trying to decide who came first and what size booths are available. Not very smart. Especially since the owner of Eez Sushi runs this place too. You'd think they'd implement a better system. read more

Crafty Burg'r - Need to get the Mac n cheese and bread pudding for your two sides! The bread pudding has a nice caramel glaze with hints of cinnamon. - Burgers Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Have been here three times since they have opened. The atmosphere is fantastic, good music choices across the board, light is low but not too dim, the booths are high back providing just enough privacy. The beer selection is right out front to set the tone. The burgers are very good! I like the variety of options. Anything featuring their beer cheese has been best. I have had the Cinco, the Good Egg, and the Rolling Hills. The fries were a little undercooked but yum. The Mac and Cheese was made with beer cheese, gives it unique flavor and texture. It won't be to everyone's taste but I dig it. Rare, the kids meals are $4 with a drink, what a value. We love that our family of four can eat here for less than thirty bucks. This place is off the beaten path but worth the jaunt. read more

Great burgers with some nice different sides to pick from. Serves beer as well! Would recommend!

Fantastic drinks and food. The staff, especially David Frey at the Huntersville location go above and beyond to make your stay special.

OK.... not worth a second trip. Fries are not crispy, very greasy. Burger has no taste and it is pretty small. Service is okay, nothing stellar. The bacon bites are good but unfortunately that's the only thing we liked it. The onion rings were not crispy, were more like raw onions with just a few breaded crust around it. It was completely uneatable. The crafty beer we ordered was also on the bad side. It was a waste of money to be quite frank... for what we spent here we would have got a MUCH better burger somewhere else. It was $40+ for a family of 4 (2 kids meals). The server asked me my opinion as I walked out and I told him I wasn't happy and he was like -- oh come'on ! -- Well, while I do understand his disappointment, perhaps it was better to listen to my comments... read more

Amazing food, cool staff and great location. Bacon burger was amazing. Cooked to perfection

This place had the best customer service I've had in my life. That said, the food is horrible! I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. Didn't feel like the drive, but finally decided to do it! For starters, we got chili cheese fries. Half of them were over cooked the other half were undercooked. The chili was very underwhelming. My main course was a chili and slaw burger. Not sure how it's possible but the medium well Burger was dry. It all had the flavor of a High School cafeteria menu. I wanted to live this place. The staff if awesome. read more

Came for lunch while visiting the area! There wasn't a ton of seating outside but we were able to squeeze our group of three at a smaller table since the other tables were full. It took a little while for a server to attend to us, but the service was fine overall. I'm a vegetarian and I've had a lot of veggie burgers - I loved theirs!! Definitely would come back if I lived in the area. The apple slaw was delicious with poppy seed dressing. I typically prefer thick onion rings and although these were pretty greasy, the seasoning was delicious and I really enjoyed them! Friends had grilled cheese with bacon that they said was nice and toasty, and their French fries were crispy! read more

Crafty Burg'r - Veggie burger with my own toppings, apple slaw and onion rings!! - Burgers Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Worst experience in a restaurant ever. We were the only customers in the place at 4PM on 9/29/19. Our server James T was in a rush to get our order so that he could join the rest of the staff swapping stories and dropping F-bombs. I ordered the classic burger and my guest ordered the buffalo chicken salad. It took quite some time to get our food for us being the only customers in the place. The burger I ordered was good, the fries came out of the kitchen stone cold. My guest took one bight of the buffalo chicken salad and spit it out as the chicken was freezer burnt and chewy like rubber. When James T left the conversation with his fellow employees to finally check on us we made him aware of the situation, his response was to bring us the bill. Won't darken the door of this place ever again but will gladly share our experience with friends and family. read more

Cornelius NC Catawba Ave location. This has to be the best burger we've ever had!!!! BBQ burger can't be beat! Had the beans and onion straws as sides. Fresh cut fries are great too and don't forget the fried pickles as a starter with the in-house made buttermilk ranch dressing. All buns made in-house. Smells like a bakery when you walk in the door!! read more

Was closest place to hotel, good choice. Had Boom Boom chicken that was enormous and very good. Would return if in area again.

we like this place, but it can get VERY busy! I enjoy getting their fried peanut butter and apple sandwich and my husband likes the boom boom chicken sandwich. I am not a big fan of their mac n' cheese because it is beer based cheese, but many people like that. It's just not my thang, so I usually stick with the sweet potato fries. We will be back! read more

Recently moved to town so we decided to try this place out after reading other reviews. We went on a Thursday evening, and although it was busy we were able to find a place to sit immediately. Service was timely and our waitress was personable! Menu offers a variety of options! Additionally, the craft beer selection is awesome! The price for a burger and 2 sides is very reasonable! We ordered the Mac N Cheese burger and the Aloha burger with sides of fries, Mac n cheese, crafty beans and bread pudding. Would recommend all of those; however, the bread pudding was out of this world! Definitely a must have! Will definitely be back! read more

I walked in and was so hungry and excited to eat but then i was sad because it took so long to get service and my waiter was very rude:(( he was sassy and being rude to other customers too. he may have been stressed but it just was a bad environment :( read more

One of the best burgers in town; taste and price! The atmosphere of this restaurant is very hip and chill. The outside seating is clean cut. The service was quick yet very homely. Now for the best part- the food. The burgers were very well cooked: juicy, flavorful, and bold. You get two sides with the meals, so for the price it is incredible. I will definitely continue to come back regularly. read more

Dry burgers that remind you of school cafeteria patties. No way these are made fresh. Shape and taste has pre-made written all over it. Sides are appealing but the Mac n cheese isn't what they say it is. Do yourself a favor and run to Shake Shack across the street...or find a fast food chain. This isn't the stop if you're a burger lover. read more

Burgers were great! We had the bacon jam burger and the hot pepper burger and both were delicious; full of flavor and well cooked. The Mac and cheese as a side was to die for. Could've eaten that all day. The apple slaw is literally just coleslaw with apples so nothing to write home about but the fries are good as well. read more

We didnt receive our appetizer. Burger had ZERO FLAVOR. Onion rings so greasy we sent them back. Chicken wrap had next to no chicken. Will not go back read more

We went around 8 on a Friday and it was steady, but we were lucky to grab an empty booth. The place isn't all that big, so it might be hard to get a table at peak hours. It was a seat yourself set up, yet our waitress still kind of sat us. She was very good through the entire night and very friendly. I got the egg burger with bacon. All of their burgers come with two sides. I got mac and cheese and fries. The burger itself was very good, but not very big, especially for a nine dollar burger. I think two patties was around eleven dollars, which is kind of a high price for a burger at a place likes this. The fries were good and the mac and cheese was just okay, nothing special. My friend got a salad and it looked good and was a big portion. We didn't get it this time, but next time I think I'll have to try the avocado bites and Gouda sticks. There isn't a whole lot of good restaurants in Cornelius, so I think we'll be coming back here if we're in the area. read more

First time and last Burger was okay. Nothing special. Cheese sticks weren't cooked all the way. Sides were smaller than the pictures on web site. read more

Wow, honestly got really excited just walking in, you know it's a good place if they've got an old truck out front. Sat down and shortly after met our waiter and proceeded to take our drink order, She suggested the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese as a starter, that's a tall order cause I consider myself a Mac and cheese connoisseur. Dang that's some good stuff got the Mac and cheese burger with a side of mac and cheese. Waiting for it to come out but will keep you posted Update very good would recommend, only problem I have to drive after this cause I'm so full!!! read more

Fact being, that my West coast diet mostly consists of tacos, burritos and burgers... These guys kill it with their burgers! Their beans are amazing as well! A new regular part of my diet in NC! Thank you! read more

Horrible. Appetizer was so salty we couldn't eat it. Both entrees came out wrong. Servers have no training. Just don't bother. This was place used to be great. Loved this place. So disappointed. Never again. read more

This place is AMAZING. The burgers are delicious, my personal favorite is the Aloha Burger. Mac and Cheese is awesome. Beer selection is vast and frequently changing which gives you a reason to return often. The staff and overall vibe of the place is great too. GO HERE (but not everyone because i like that there's never a wait to be seated, even on a Friday/Saturday night) P.S. Try to save room for the deep fried Oreos read more

This is a great little locally owned restaurant in the Lake Norman area of Charlotte NC. I had the burger and it was delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly to order. It has a great interior and friendly service on top of the great burger. Another great restaurant that I highly recommend trying in Cornelius. read more

I've tried their burgers, salad, beans and fries and all are great. I usually do the build your own burger option, with beans and fries. My mom tried the macoroni once and we both were not fans. Other than the mac everything has been great. Service is usually good as well. read more

Love crafty! We go pretty regularly for the Boom Boom Chicken Sandwich and bread pudding. A previous reviewer seemed surprised that Boom Boom would imply spice.. duh. It's no spicier than a mild buffalo sauce though! Highly recommend the bread pudding and Boom Boom sauce! read more

Went here tonight for the first time. Friday night 8pm. We had about a 15minute wait. We were greeted. Y one of the nicest hostesses I've ever met. Once seated the server arrived right away and took our orders. They offer a great beer selection and both hamburger and chicken sandwiches. Fried pickles were great (big portion). I had the BBQ bacon burger with fries and Mac n cheese. Mac n cheese was decent. Throw some vinegar on the fries and they were great. Burger was delicious. Great size, homemade bun. It was t overloaded in BBQ sauce like most places seem to do. Overall, great expierence. Would be a great place to hangout with friends or taking the wife out to eat. We'll definitely be back. read more

Was there the first day it opened! Totally great atmosphere. Went with the family and the food was excellent. I asked the waitress where they got such fresh rolls and she explained that they were all freshly made right there! My burger was cooked perfectly and was extremely filling and delicious. Onion rings were great! The kids had the fries and since they loved them, and since they are pretty picky eaters, I figure that is a really good sign. Overall, I would highly recommend and will coming back. read more

Best burger I've had in a long time. It wasn't greasy it was cooked perfectly. I'm coming back to try other things on the menu. The ambiance is awesome too! Overall A+ the bartender was super helpful too. read more

Food is pretty good. The service is very sufficient and friendly. They have a nice selection and will accommodate you any way they can. The burgers are good but the single patty seems on the small side. If you have a tendency to say "where's the beef?", get a double. read more

Honestly the food is a bit overrated. When you compare the burgers and food to Duckworth's it's not that great. The sides seem very quickly put together and not very well seasoned. Some burgers are average while the others lack in sauce, flavor, or soggy. I've tried this place multiple times and each time feel a bit disappointed because I'm hoping it will be better. Like I said, it's pretty average. If you're looking for late night quick food, this is your place. Something that's not delicious but will get you fed. read more

I literally wish I could give this place zero stars. Actually I wish I could give this place -10 stars. This was some of the worst service I have ever had. The food was mediocre at best and that is being generous. Spoke to a female manager and she showed no remorse for the horrible dining experience that I just had. I am moving very close by and there is no chance I will ever be back. I will tell all of my friends to avoid this place and if I decide I want a burger I would rather drive 100 miles. Thanks for nothing. read more

Had a great burger here yesterday. Our server, Daniel was great. We were puzzled when we arrived to find the main entry off to the side by the outdoor dining. Also puzzled when we asked to be seated outside-3 empty tables out there and were told we'd need to wait 10 minutes for a table out there. This gave us the opportunity to head to the bar for a craft beer. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable about his beers. For some reason I though there'd be more draft beers. All in all we are very happy to have this place located in our little town. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Excellent excellent food, everything I have tried at Crafty is very very good and delicious even. Try the for dessert they have a bread pudding that's to die for, sometimes I eat it before the main meal even. The staff is nice, sometimes you know like any place, waiter or waitress can get a bit testy but that's if they're very very busy and the bar has great tapped IPAs especially North Carolina born and bred beer. Usually sierra Nevada, pernicious that's wicked weed, some Mexican beers in the bottle Bohemia, the Dos XX and usually they have one or two hard cider as well. Many times they are short staffed just like every place right now because people don't want to work and I don't know how they're getting paid still, hopefully not the government but yes, sometimes you wait a little bit longer for the food but the weight is very much worth it. Service and ambience is great and they have a few TVs usually tuned to sports channels. Obviously when the Panthers are playing, that's on TV, they will put hockey on or if a customer suggests some thing they will change the channel. Overall fantastic place, highly recommended read more
