We were only in Shasta for 3 days but we ate here twice. First let me say I was traveling with someone with Celiac disease which means not just no gluten but also no cross contamination. So...it is highly commendable that in such a small town you can check both boxes of delicious and gluten free, that's not a salad! Lol I had the ribs, also the Mac and cheese was good without being overly heavy. My friend got tacos and the pupusa she was making very big satisfying noises lol so I'm pretty sure they were good. read more

Dang these ribs are SO GOOD. I live in Portland, Oregon - foodie central - but I can't get ribs this good there. The meat fell off the bone and the ribs are well-seasoned but not overdone. Loved the coleslaw too. Highly recommended. read more

We returned to Crave on our next visit to Mount Shasta and this time they had ribs. My husband ordered them. Based on Yelp reviews I suggested that he have the Macaroni and Cheese and the Cole Slaw as his sides. They were wonderful. The mac & cheese was the best I've ever had anywhere. My husband enjoyed the ribs immensely. The next time we are in Shasta we plan to return again. I'm tempted to order just the mac and cheese for my meal, not exactly healthy, but oh so good. read more

Crave - Two rib platter with macaroni and cheese and coleslaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Mount Shasta, California

Owners are amazing!!!! Always top of the line organic produce and fresh ahi. Phenomenal quality!!

This is the worst pupusa I've ever eaten. It's not even a pupusa....its overcooked dry masa....topped with egg roll sauce. This honestly was a first for me. It took over 40 minutes to overcook masa and throw some beans on top with egg roll sauce and call it a pupusa. Not the place or vibe for "comfort" food. read more

Ordered the vegetarian nachos and they were plenty. Good cheese, good chips, jalapeño tomato, sour cream. read more

Whether you want Mexican food or a huge fresh salad... THIS is the place for you *smiles* Big Azz burrito was pretty good for $17. It has rice, refried beans, lettuce, steak, sour cream, cheese. It was "pretty good". Comes with a small container of a smoky salsa. The salad for $13.99 is huge and fresh. It contains crisp romaine, red leaf lettuce, red cabbage, purple and green sprouts, a sprinkling of shredded carrots, a few grape tomatoes. It REALLY needs some kind of protein, so I added some shredded chicken for +$1.50. super clean and fresh tasting. The ranch dressing was *eh* I'd order the salad again, but it's just a lot of greens *thumbs up* Some indoor seating, lots of outdoor seating with wood picnic tables (half with nice big umbrellas). Looks like you bus your own tables when you are done. Super casual spot to grab some lunch. read more

I would not recommend this place at all. I could have gone to the store and bought ground beef gone home and cooked it for the time it took here. It was a Wednesday night - not at all busy - and a simple burger. And of course the burger was over cooked. And the cook forgot the bacon. Luckily the FOH girl remembered. But in my opinion this was an Epic fail. Never going back read more

Amazing ribs if you like the meat literally falling off the bone. The macaroni and cheese tasted homemade. Even the coleslaw was good - not soupy or too sweet. read more

This was the first time we had ever wandered into Crave in Mount Shasta. As others have said, it's a tiny place, but it does have some indoor seating, which is nice when it's either too hot or too cold outside. It has plenty of outdoor seating with nice views since Mount Shasta is beautiful. My husband got the half rack of ribs and yes, they were incredible. I am typically very hard to please when it comes to ribs and even I would've scarfed these down. They were literally falling off the bone tender, they were incredibly juicy, and the handmade dry rub was very flavorful, but not overpowering. These were absolutely worth getting and we'll come back to get them again. The mac & cheese was great, and my husband liked the coleslaw. Honestly, the only thing we got out of the entire meal that I would take any stars off of at all, was the barbecue sauce. And that is subjective because people in the midwest (my husband is a born and raised okie) know real BBQ, are very picky about the sauce, and this sauce wasn't it. But seriously, these ribs do NOT need sauce. I got the lobster taco special and really enjoyed them. There was no shortage of actual lobster which was tender and not chewy. The flavor was a nice blend with the toppings and sauce. It was a very refreshing meal that would have been nice in the summer time. It came with fresh made salsa. I'm a bit of a salsa snob and I liked it. Personally, I would have liked a hint of salt but almost no one likes as much salt in salsa as I do so don't hold that against it. They classified it as "medium" heat. I didn't think it was quite medium but if you don't like any heat at all, then I would say it wasn't totally a textbook "mild". It was very flavorful. Aside from the food, which is obviously what took us there, the service was great. The young lady that met us at the counter was very friendly when we got there, but not only that, what I will assume is the owner and definitely the chef, came out later to check on us. We stopped him to ask about the rub and he took time to really chat with us. We appreciated that he didn't treat us like a number or a customer that didn't matter, even though I'm sure he was busy. We're in this area quite often and will definitely add Crave to the regular rotation list. read more

Ribs here are the real deal! Can't remember the last time I had 'em so good, and I smoke my own meats. Hope to be able to match these some day. The BBQ sauce wasn't overly sweet like all commercial sauces are. Mild though. The mac n cheese is great, using real cheese. The coleslaw was also very good...the healthy style without mayo. We come up once a year and am kicking myself for not making it to Crave last year when I read about them. Won't make that mistake again. read more

Good food for Shasta... Don't order the Pupusas unless you are okay making an El Salvadoran shed a tear. For whatever reason they put Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce on them. read more

BBQ ribs rivaled the best I've had. Mac 'n cheese was homemade and decadent with the classic cheese stretch. Staff was attentive and helpful. A few indoor tables for cool days. Lots of outdoor space for sunny weather. A steady take-out business, even on an early weekday dinnertime.Will definitely return. read more

Definitely mid. Has some bangers but has some boo boo. Pupusas with chili verde were really good. would def order those again $14 for two street tacos with juanitas chips and some pace picante jarred salsa just leaves you wanting more. Fish in the fish tacos is frozen battered gordon fisherman quality fish. Don't order fish in Mount Shasta might be the lesson. The awkard seating inside adds to the lack luster. read more

We've been to this place several times when we are in Mt Shasta. The food is so good and they have Fresca!!

Crave = COMFORT food Crave is my go to anytime I'm craving comfort food that I know is going to be tasty. I've been coming here pretty regularly for over a year now. They're always so friendly, food is great (lots of vegetarian options + a separate vegetarian menu!!), and the place is spotless. The lady that owns it is so nice. Always courteous and helpful. All the staff are the same way too. Overall, I always have a great experience when I eat here. Food tastes great and staff + service is great! 10/10 recommend read more

Get the Tri-tip with cheesy mac, using their rich BBQ sauce lightly. The papusas uniquely balance savory salty and sweet elements

Really good BBQ pork ribs, Mac-n-Cheese, and coleslaw! Meaty, well smoked and seasoned ribs. We ordered the 4-rib and 2-rib dinner plates. Tender meat, and a lot of it! (I could have got by with a 3-rib plate). Mac-n-cheese was wonderful! Crunchy bits (which I like), and creamy cheesy texture. Coleslaw looked house made and was wonderful as well. Not overly coated in a mayonnaise dressing. Crunchy, apple cider vinegary, with a slight buffer of a creaminess in the dressing! What a find in Mt Shasta! We will be back for more!!! We ate outside in the early evening sun so nice and warm but not hot or cold. No view of Mt Shasta from seating areas, but we will gladly sacrifice the view while devouring this food! read more

We did not try the ribs but the food was delicious! Great service! We had fish tacos, pupusa, and burritos! read more

I stop in at Crave every time I pass through the area. It is consistently great food at a reasonable price.

"Best mac-n-cheese I've ever had" according to my son and that says a lot! Chili verde tacos and pupusa were delish as well. Friendly service with made to order meals. Great choice for a quick stop! read more

My wife and I ate here with a small group of friends. It was a nice warm day, so we chose to eat outside. The menu was surprisingly large. They had 2 boards of specials near the counter. Some of our group were on special diets. No one had trouble finding something that would work for them. The food was delicious. The server was friendly and refilled our water glasses (for those that chose water) regularly. We were all glad to have chosen to eat here. read more

Lovely spot in Mt Shasta. Great outdoor seating and an interesting and diverse menu for a small(ish) place. We had the vegetarian pupusas and valle Mexican lager and was delicious. The staff are outstanding. Would definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Super pricey and I have yet to receive the correct order on the first time. It's awesome that they give you taste samples of the kombucha!

My partner and I were visiting Dunsmuir for the holiday and I'm glad this spot was open on Dec 25th! Everything was delicious. Service was excellent and fast. There's a friendly atmosphere and I could tell the workers care about what they do. read more

What an unexpected jewel! On a road-trip passing through Mount Shasta, we found this awesome bbq restaurant. Had the ribs and the tri-tip sandwich. OMG- best ribs I've had in a long time.

Sadly no photo but as a longtime fan of their famous Ribs I decided to try the Tri-Tip Salad... OMG over the top good with all the possible salad fixins including fresh sprouts and a GREAT dressing; the meat was sliced thin 3 sheets of it, and cut into bite sized pieces, SO GOOD... melt in your mouth beef and the good pasture raised as well. I cannot remember EVER getting a salad this good from any restaurant including the fancy SF gang. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG with Crave! read more

Took forever! Way too long. Got a chicken super burrito and a bean and cheese burrito. 37min! That is too long for two burritos. Those staple ingredients should already be made so why would it take so long to assemble? Food was ok. Maybe would have tasted better if it didn't take forever! read more

Food doesn't match price. Expensive! Only 12 tots. Not much meat on tri tip sandwich. Burger average at best.

I was very impressed with the quality, texture and flavor of the tri tip. Will definitely go back. I also liked that the owner interacted with the customers. It is a true family owned business. Thumbs up! read more

It's great. The lobster tacos made me want to come back again! Service isn't bad either. read more

The Holy Grail in Mount Shasta for comfort food. Their Mac & Cheese is the absolute best on the planet and so are their ribs. When everyone is so busy walk up one street and enjoy the best artisan type munch. Unique, incredible food that you'll be full and you'll say to yourself, I don't want to stop because it's warm and I know that flavor will not be the same later. This not just a meal, this is a cinema. read more
