Crave is a very comfortable place to have lunch. They are very consistent on the flavor and service every time.

We went for lunch and the interior was neat with fresh plants everywhere. The Harvest Bowl with Salmon was delicious, you could taste all the fresh herbs in the bowl. I had a cucumber mint water and it was refreshing. Service was solid. read more

Food: not sure what the food tastes like because they tried to sit our large group outside in 100 degree weather. Had agreed to it at first because it wasn't too hot, but by the time they sat us- it was HOT. Service: our waitress was fantastic though for the first few minutes that we interacted with her. Ambiance: small place not fit for large groups unless you're OK with sitting in the patio. read more

This small breakfast and brunch spot has a trendy atmosphere with cute lights lining the outdoor patio. Came here for breakfast and ordered the huevos rancheros and chilaquiles. The price was right. Their side stack of blueberry pancakes were delicious. They serve it with a lemon custard on top which was a perfect post meal treat. Service was good. They came by multiple times to refill coffee. read more

The food was great. All the drinks are amazing not too sweet. The waitress we had was really friendly and on top of everything. We also came when it wasn't too packed so the ambiance was nice with the music in the background and they also have outside seating so I can't imagine it being to bad even when it is packed. read more

The food is very well seasoned and served quickly. The place is big with black decor and a nice outside area with umbrellas for shade.

First restaurant my wife and I tried after arriving in El Paso. Recommended by a friend. First off, the vibe of the place was awesome. The lighting, music, and overall facade of the walls looked great! The staff was friendly, and one if the cooks even came out to make sure our food was satisfactory. We had the chicken and waffles, ahi tuna sandwich, with the sides of sweet potato fries, green chili mac n cheese, and asparagus. Needless to say, we will be back. I have no idea why this place does not have closer to 5 stars. read more

We arrived with a reservation on a Wednesday and the cooks were short handed. Instead of communicating, they took our order. After45 minutes they had not given us our appetizers. The server was so rude! She said she just "worked" here. She did not have any empathy when mentioning the issue. When the food came out it was cold. And half of our party had food while the other still waited. We will not be returning to this establishment or any other owned by Crave. How disappointing! Andrew one of the managers, came to our table and made it right. We love this place... but due to miscommunication from the server, we left the above review. I am glad Andrew came through read more

Been craving a Bloody Mary for weeks & when on vacation there isn't a better time! I checked yelp for breakfast / brunch spots & saw this place had a full bar and was like that's where we're going! The Bloody Mary did not disappoint, hit the spot with just the right amount of kick. Me & hubby both got the No Brainer breakfast sandwich and were surprised when I came out not exactly a sandwich more like toast with toppings. BUT don't let that deter you, it was decadent in flavor and absolutely satisfying. The fruit was ok we think they might not be in season with them being as hard as they were but what can you do! The space was clean and well kept as well as a good ambiance, and the staff were very attentive. Next time we're in the area would definitely visit again! read more

I had been to their location near UTEP years ago and happened upon their other location during a recent business trip to El Paso. The restaurant is clean, spacious and has a great vibe for lunch or dinner. Full bar and craft beers add to the nice touch too. The menu is how I remember. Eclectic and able to satisfy a variety of tastes. I had their Ancient Grains bowl with chicken. Just like I remember, it was hearty, earthy, and overall very satisfying. Very glad I added the chicken, but did think it was slightly overpriced ($6.50 for one chicken breast.) Nevertheless, it is a great spot and great option when trying to find something outside the steak and potatoes and Mexican food options in El Paso. read more

I was seated right away; that apart of the good. It took almost 15 minutes to be greeted; that's apart of the bad. They didn't appear to be very busy. When I was greeted, it was "What are you having to drink?" Not very welcoming. The food was good and presented well. read more

I want to start off my giving a shoutout to manager Rich. He absolutely took care of us after having a little mishap with a to go order. I called once I was home to advise that my order was given incorrectly, and when Rich answered he didn't hesitate to make up for the inconvenience. The food as always was delicious and Rich's service after going back was exceptional. I will definitely be going back. read more

I'd give this place a 5/5 strictly for the food, but service time could be better. Servers taking too long to take orders or to drop off the check (which correlates with them not checking on us after dropping off the food) has been a common occurrence the past 3 times I've eaten here. Other than that, the food is amazing. The chilaquiles are worth the wait, especially if you add carnitas to it. The pancakes were stale and left me disappointed, so I don't recommend those. read more

Service is good, servers are very attentive. The ambiance is pretty relaxed on a slow night, which is when it's quiet. On busy nights they still meet the mark, although it gets much noise. The food is ridiculously good; El Paso is blessed to have this variety added to their culinary repertoire. They have some really interesting drinks and alcoholic drinks as well. Keep in mind that service can crawl very slowly on busy nights. Normally that would bring it down by 1 star, but I think the food quality and other offerings make up the difference.

Horrible service, mediocre food. The menu stated strawberry lemonade is $3.50 and bill charged us $4.50 each and server said "must be an old menu". All the menus were the same. They are just charging you differently than what's on the menu. Isn't that illegal?? we asked two different servers for salt and pepper, and both of them had the brain of Dori. Horrible experience!! read more

Wow my first time visiting crave Cafe I was so excited to try it out ginger lemonade and chicken lettuce wrap heavenly delicious I will come back again I visiting from la I recommended it the food the bomb read more

Worst service! One kind person in entire staff team. Everyone else had poor attitude.

I went there to order to go. My salmon was over cooked and honestly nothing tasted good. I had to wait over 30 minutes and the restaurant wasn't busy. The plate was expensive and I had higher expectations for trying Crave for the first time visit. Sad to say I won't be returning. read more

My expectations were too high to be let down like this. Presentation vs the actual quality of the food was a major fail. Coffee was super bland, smoked salmon toast, bread was too hard, salmon was damn near sushi, strawberry stuffed French toast was decent but the bread was slightly soggy. read more

Our of all locations I think I like this the most and it somehow has the most selection on the menu. Generally all Craves are a bit overpriced and menu could use a bit of a fresher taste but for what El Paso has to offer it is one of the "spots" and too will get a good quality meal out of the experience. read more

Food was really great - several options for a twist on the American burger. Loved the sweet potato waffle fries. Really cute decor with good service, many drink options (including draft). I was with colleagues - we all got something different and each of us loved the meal. read more

Went in middle of the afternoon when real quiet. Service was great. We even had a visit from management to check. Ahi sandwich and Harvest salad both impressed. read more

Our server was horrible, did not look like she enjoyed her job. She had no pleasure in serving us. Our food took 45 minutes to come out and overheard them saying they forgot about our food. I love crave but this is the worst location. read more

Big fan of the breakfast bowl and always like to order a churro waffle on the side. Parking can become an issue here, especially on the weekends and place is a bit crowded. read more

Server Teresa was giving us attitude and weird looks. Not a charismatic person, she was straight up mean, terrible service. We would even hesitate to ask for napkins or more coffee. Food was very good tho, but I would prefer another server in a future:) read more

In years past I have always thought Crave was a great place for breakfast or lunch, but recently the service has been such a disappointment. We recently went for breakfast at around 10:30 am and were told there was only one cup of coffee left because they had run out of coffee beans! Really? No one can go to a grocery store and buy some coffee beans? I have never heard that one before. Also, the toilet in the bathroom was leaking into a floor drain. This appears to be poor management. So sad!!! read more

We were driving through Texas and stumbled across these cool place called Crave kitchen and bar. The ambiance is very nice not very bright but there's plenty of light to see your food.

Disclosure: Crave has been one of my favorite local spots for years (Cincinnati, Resler, the Fountain, Rojas - no difference), but for some reason I've never written a review. After work this past Friday, we dropped by the Rojas location for dinner. The place was packed & busy as usual but you come to expect that... I wanted to try something new so I ordered the "New" Roasted Red Chile Chicken with a side salad and the roasted Borunda corn. The chicken appearance looked great (as you can see in the accompanying photo) & I really liked how crispy the skin was. The red chile sauce had good flavor. The sides were great as always, and my multiple refills of coconut iced tea helped to wash it all down. Service was on point too - it remains one of my favs in town... read more

This wasn't a great experience. Our waiter started off great but as the night went on it got pretty bad. Our food took an hour to come out, after thirty minutes our waiter came back to let us know that one or the dishes we ordered wasn't available. Once the food started coming out, most of it was cold. Mac n cheese, waffles, chicken, tacos, pretty cold. One of our Mac n cheese came out hot, it was really good. I loved the fries as well. When our waiter asked us if everything was alright, we mentioned it was cold and our waiter seemed like a deer in the headlights. After a second he offered to send his manager over, but she didn't come out. The waiter came back 15 minutes later and asked if we needed boxes since we were done, we didn't want to bring anything home. After 30 minutes the check stil hadn't come out. The waiter was at the bar talking with some other people, and when we went up to ask for the check he didn't seem to know that we needed one. We then asked to speak to the manager, and she came out shortly. She asked what was going on, we explained that we had cold food and before we could continue any constructive criticism she jumped in saying that they would've heated the food up had we asked but they didn't know we wanted that, and she was already planning on giving us a discount for our bad experience. The bill came out shortly, with a small discount, and added gratuity of 18 percent. I don't like not tipping, so even though I had a poor experience I was planning on tipping 10 percent. Added gratuity without making it clear from the beginning is theft. read more

Great Brunch spot. Portion size is filling. Each dish is seasoned well. The waffles should be cooked longer. The cinnamon brown butter should accompany pancakes and waffles. The mojito was amazingly delicious! The cucumber mint water is refreshing. Plenty of outdoor eating space. Service was impeccable. read more

I visited this restaurant while visiting El Paso and I have to say that the food here is really good. The group I went with tried various dishes so that we could all sample each other's . Some dishes that we ordered were the Chicken and waffles, Chorizo and cheese rolled flautas, 808 Burger, Grilled Mahi Tacos and more. Each of us were pleasantly surprised at how great all the food was. What gave this restaurant 4 of out 5 instead of 5 out of 5 was the customer service. We had to wait for 45 ministers (which was not a big deal as we were all talking and such) but then when we sat down our waiter had a very "don't ask me to do more then the bare minimum attitude". He served us and was not rude but he did not like to be asked for additional things. The food took forever to come out as well but it was at least still warm. Overall the food made up for the lack of customer service and I honestly think we would visit again to give their customer service another chance. read more

First time here and will definitely be my last. Hash browns came out still crunchy and white as can be. The pancakes and sausage were cold. It took forever to get out food for it to be ice cold. Honestly only thing good was the strawberry basil lemonade. read more

horrible service, they were not busy on a thursday morning and it took me over 30 minutes to get my food. not to mention my sides didn't even come out with my food. great food but horrible service, every time i visit this establishment. read more

The waitress was nice, but not as attentive as I hoped for considering they weren't busy at all this particular day. The outside seating area was very bare and vanilla, but the back seating area seemed to be nicest. They should definitely switch that around. The food was below average. Waffle was flavorless and stale. The chicken was served as a very large portion, which was okay, but it would have been better if they cooked it with some seasons. It tasted like they only flavored the flour that it was battered in. They didn't have many condiment options to give it a better taste. They had hot sauce, but they only had tobasco which has an overpowering spiciness. Overall, I think they have potential which is why I give the extra star related to my experience. read more

Waitress and setting was cool their lunch is on point also speaking from experience because I've been here before but this waffles is not cooked thoroughly. I thought I was trippin. I asked the waitress for another one (thank you) but the other came and it's the same texture. The country potatoes are great the egg is so so. The chicken breast was not seasoned and the batter tasted of pure flour. There was no seasoning at all to the chicken. My two stars is for the waitress. She was very busy but made sure I was good. Also one of my potatoes had a hair follicle on it. I don't think I'll ever be back. However thank you for your hospitality. My advice... please stop making your waffles with water. read more
