I rarely write positive reviews but this place was so good i had to ! We tried several of their items and the best ones were the pulled pork sandwitch and the brisket burger Pulled pork "sandwitch": more like a burger, the bun was good (cripsy on the outside, soft in the inside and tasty). The pork is the best we've tried so far in the USA. My wife doesnt like BBQ sauce usually, but this one was well balanced. 17h smoked brisket burger: only on fridays/saturdays. A lot of meat (more than what i usually like) but the bacon, paddy and brisket complemented each other well (the bricket sandwitch; not the burger; which only has brisket was actually a little bit too dry to my taste) And with the tater tots, we felt like kids discovering burgers for the first time. (but sometimes we didnt have enough tater tots). A essayer d'urgence ! Une perle qui vaut le détour avant/après l'ascension de Mt Shasta ! read more

Pappas with thai sweet chili sauce on top? Disgusting! The hamburger was giant but dry and unseasonably. Two stars because these tacos are good, but I wouldn't order anything else from here. read more

I've been fortunate to eat smoked foods from SF to Atlanta, Buffalo to Tulsa, Dallas to Beijing. I love smoked meats aka BBQ. Crave continues to "bring" the smoke and "q" to Mt Shasta. Thank you for caring to serve awesome ribs etc here in lil' ole Mt Shasta...:) read more

Stopped by for lunch on our way through the area and it's as good as the other reveiws say. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Wow the food was absolutely stupendous here as was the service. The vegetarian items were superb. We tried Papusas as well as the veggie burger and there were divine. The nachos were also beyond delicious!!! This is our spot when we come to Shasta!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Awesome BBQ place with interesting flavors, interesting as in good. The ribs are bomb, falls right off the bone tender.

These might be the best ribs I've ever had. The outside of the restaurant doesn't necessarily indicate how high quality the food is here which is why I kept passing it up. It's excellent and I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is bomb. Highly recommend this over chains like Black Bear. Few blocks.Great food at reasonable prices. High quality, fresh, tasty, sumptuous. read more

Hidden gem! Incredible service and even better food. I hail from Richmond, CA so I know my tacos and papusas. This place exceeded my expectations. The papusas were perfectly cooked and topped. The homemade pico de gallo was spicy and a perfect compliment to all the entrees. They're called Crave BBQ and their meat did not disappoint. I'd highly recommend grabbing lunch or dinner here if you're even driving through or staying in Mt Shasta. Cute mom and pop shop with some excellent dishes. read more

Enjoyed a great lunch today! Had the smoked brisket sandwich and a carne asada street taco! Both were excellent! The brisket was top notch and melted in your mouth. Great flavor and texture made this sandwich a hit! I'll be back for another one soon! Taco had great spices and was delicious. Nice addition to the local restaurant scene. read more

Great service delicious food! Super flavorful and fresh ingredients. Have been back several times.

WOW! So happy we finally tried this place! Street tacos are Bombalicous! My husband rated the Nachos with Chile Verde Pork BEST EVER!! Seriously, fresh tasty food, made fresh to order. Best of all my son LOVED the mac n cheese!! Yay!! So happy.. thank you, Crave, for providing my family a great weekly takeout...and probably more! ;) Annnnd I love that your up from town, easy parking, family atmosphere, Lovely outdoor seating below the mountain. Reasonably priced for the wonderful flavors! Check this place out!! Hugs, Desiree from Mt Shasta read more

We were in Mt Shasta for the 4th of July weekend. We were enjoying all the town had to offer. It was dinner time needed a place to sit down. Found this great little place with outside sitting. Had my girlfriend order me anything since I am so picky . Had the brisket sandwich! The bomb!! Oh and she ordered a side of Mac-n-cheese !!!!!!! We should have ordered a plate of the Mac !!! Sharing is not something you want to do when it is so GOOD!!! read more

I'm from Dallas and this is some of the best BBQ ribs I've had in my life. The sides (salad, beans, coleslaw) were okay, but when you do meat this good, it doesn't matter how the side are. Ordered a full rack for two and that turned out to be way too much food, but was happy to have leftovers. I cannot praise these ribs enough. My only regret is that I didn't get to try the brisket sandwich. read more

The best in town! Lived in the area for many years and this is by far the best tasting food around. Make sure to try the brisket sandwich... or pretty much anything on the menu. A must stop if you're just visiting the area. read more

I ordered the steak burrito and it was great. I am picky about my burritos. The fresh salsa was on point. The lady working there was very friendly too! read more

Brisket sandwich and asada pupusas at the same place?!?! Yes and both were mind blowing good. Brisket was perfectly cooked/seasoned with coleslaw that was light on the mayo, really let the meat shine. Pupusas were devine. Had peruvian beans and mac and cheese on the side. Both really good, light heat on the beans. Creamy goodness on the mac. Had a nice conversation with the gentleman painting an xmas window scene. Such a nice man and a beautiful painting. Service was great and friendly. read more

We love this place and come here quite often. I'm working my way through the menu and so far everything has been great! So far the street tacos are my favorite! read more

I literally CRAVE their mac & cheese...it's probably the best I've ever had. Certainly a top contender!! Now I can't drive past Mt. Shasta City without stopping for some. It's THAT good. And like most of us I'm trying to not eat too many carbs, lol, but it is so worth it. read more

Horribly overpriced and poorly prepared. Ordered a burger, medium rare. It was overcooked and burnt so badly I couldn't even finish eating it. Really wish I had asked for my money back. My second time there, and I should have known better. My first time there over a year ago wasn't any better. The burger I ordered then was overcooked, too. I've learned my lesson, and won't be going back again. They do have nice outdoor seating, though. read more

My girlfriend and I spent a few days in Dunsmuir and stumbled upon Crave when visiting Mt Shasta. We had the most amazing tacos there, and the service was lovely. We went back again for another meal... and some takeaway. It was that good! Highly recommend the carne asada and chili verde tacos. Great local beers on tap as well. read more

Excellent burgers! Cooked perfectly! Prather beef is so flavorful and just the best! Condiments perfect! Staff so friendly and got our individual orders correct even with our adjustments!! Thank you Crave, we'll be back! read more

I honestly couldn't recommend this place highly enough! I just had the best ribeye I have ever eaten in my entire life! The owner and his wife will make you feel like you're at home with a comfortable atmosphere while serving outstanding food. Everything I have tried there has been amazing! I seriously can't recommend this place high enough! The amount of time and effort he puts into every dish is very hard to find. They are very accommodating and I really hope anyone who sees this reviews goes and eats there. You won't be disappointed. read more

Crave was a nice stop on our way back from coastal camping. There was outdoor seating available. We ordered two Crave Burgers which were good, but a little strong on the smoke flavor for me. They came with tater tots which were good. They had an eclectic selection of canned soda and bottled drinks, including Squirt and Big Red, which you don't see everyday. I would probably try brisket or ribs next time if available, as there menu was trimmed down a bit. read more

Found this spot on a road trip. Saw the reviews and they did not disappoint!! Burgers were fantastic!! Great outdoor seating, very nice people! read more

First time trying Crave BBQ, my man got the cheeseburger and I got the chile verde burrito and they were both amazing! Both seasoned so well I didn't even need hot sause, and I put that on everything. Thank you guys for staying open and feeding us today, we will be back soon. read more

This is gross I'm sorry. It made me and my family throw up. And messed up are orders. I would give this a 0

I ordered chicken burrito and nachos for lunch today. The food was great and the service was awesome. The restaurant has been open for about year n half and seems to me like they know what they're doing in the kitchen. I don't usually write reviews nor give 5 stars but this spot deserves it. I wish them much success and hope to stop by in the future. read more

Pulled Pork. Best I've had in years. I will try to explore the rest of the menu but I might be hung up on the sandwich for a while. Oh, tator tots, yes! read more

It's tough to find good restaurants with decent prices and variety in Mt. Shasta, but Derrick and his wife have filled the gap. Street tacos are generously stuffed and tasty at 2.50-3.00 a pop. 2 makes for a great lunch. The nachos are quite large, filling, and delicious. I know the ribs and meats are raves about by locals, but I have yet to try them. I widely recommend this place to everyone I meet in Mt Shasta. They are a new place, a little hard to spot, but worthy of being a thriving restaurant. read more

Very glad to have stopped here for dinner. The ribs were amazing, top notch. Barbecue sauce was very good with some tang. House blue cheese dressing, mac and cheese, and beans were also delicious. read more

This place is amazing! I really enjoyed the food here. I got the mac and cheese, which was so good, and despite the significant portions, we ate it all! I also got a burger to split, with a side order of tater tots. They were both great; they cooked to perfection! I also received a free bottled water from one of the staff, which was the cherry on top to a perfect lunch. I highly recommend this place! read more

If they ask you how do you want your burger you say well but not burnt to the point of adding carsinogens to your food.

Thank goodness KFC was closed or I never would have tried "Crave". Happened to be driving by and decided to check it out and get some food- to-go to take back to McCloud. Very clean appearence when you walk in and very welcoming aromas. I was given a sample of the Pork Ribs and the homemade Clam Chowder. Both were delicious. Owners are a very nice couple. I ordered 3 Carnitas tacos with rice and beans. I thought the price was a bit high, but they were delicious as they were made with the same wonderful Plum and Oak Wood smoked pork. I also got the half rack of ribs which were nice sized and meaty. The meat had that outside nice crust with the tender fall off the bone meat that we barbeques lovers "Crave" lol. The tacos and the half rack ribs which came with a mixed greens salad with cherry heirloom tomatoes, rice, beans and cole slaw was enough to feed 3 adults. I will definetly go there again. read more

We dined here this past weekend (on 4/10/21) Food was good and I would give that 4 stars , but me and my family had horrible service -I mean it was bad. We ordered and paid at the counter, and as we always do, we tipped 20% UPFRONT. That was a mistake. When we placed our order for a family of 4, we were told that they only had enough pupusas for two orders, so we grabbed them, and two burritos. When the food came, what my son and husband got were half orders--each entree should have come with two pupusas, but they gave them one each instead and charged 1/2 of the regular entree price. OK, we thought, that was miscommunicated, but no problem, we will order more food. NO that was not possible... our waitress said that since we ordered, other orders came in and we would have to wait over 30 minutes for more food. Really? My husband and son left hungry because they would not accommodate us. The other issue- it was cold outside and I asked the cashier and the waitress to please turn on one of the outdoor heaters while we dined - I asked 3X and no one cared to do it. If you go here, I would suggest you leave a cash tip if the service is good, and NOT tip upfront or you might be disappointed. Note to owners - If your going to ask for a tip at the time of ordering, please follow through with good service. read more
