Stopped in for lunch one afternoon and there is good home style cooking here. A small eatery with a concise menu. A small interior with a handful of tables and chairs with a short bar with a few bar stools. Was greeted walking in and told to sit where I like, so I grabbed a table by the window and enjoyed the sun while waiting for my food. Ordered a couple chili dogs with slaw on top with a side of baked beans from the menu and relaxed a bit. My dogs showed up within a few minutes, cooked very well with a nice amount of chili and topped with sweet coleslaw. It hit the spot and was a bargain at the price. A simple lunch done very well and a comfortable place to enjoy it. Worth a visit and your support. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the good chili dogs 01139 read more

I had heard a lot of great things about this restaurant and finally ordered take out. I ordered the 3 Whole Wing Dinner w/ 2 sides. I chose mac n cheese and fried okra. The sides are very small for the price point and my roll was not included. The food could use seasoning. For this place to be so out of the way, it is not worth it for take out as the restaurant does not properly prep for a long drive. There are ways that the food could be packaged to preserve some of the heat. The meat should be wrapped in foil to keep the styrofoam box from making it soggy. The restaurant is quaint but for the price, there are better soul food options. Lack of seasoning and tiny portions are a turn off. read more

The food at Crave never disappoints! It reminds me when my cousins cook on a weekend. The people are always nice and the cook puts his soul into his food. The little lady in the back reminds me of my aunties who cook. I crave those jerk lamb chops all the time and I have always enjoyed them. 10/10 recommend and I ALWAYS come back. (Even to-go it's great to reheat) read more

Oh, my goodness. I stopped for lunch today and ordered the fried sole with candied yams and pinto beans. Everything was cooked to perfection- the flavors and quality were just what I was hoping for. The ambience is fun- jazz music, clean, calm environment, and our server was so kind and attentive. I will be back soon and will bring friends. read more

We've driven by this location many times since moving to the area a little over two years ago. To the best of our knowledge, the building was most recently Andy's Chicken and Beer and prior to that, Ted's Kickin Chicken. A few months ago we noticed the sign out front advertising Crave. We did a bit of looking online and discovered Crave Southern Palate would soon be opening. My wife began to follow them on social media and we've been anxious to try them. It's hard to believe but today they confirmed they've already been open for two months. We arrived about 3pm on Sunday afternoon. If you are familiar with this location, you know it is very simple from the exterior. We parked in the gravel parking lot and entered through the front door. Upon opening the door, we were very impressed with the interior. It is like walking into a building and not expecting the change from the outside. Our guess, since we've never been inside before is they have completely refreshed the interior. In addition to the counter seating there are also several booths and high top tables. An interesting touch at each of the counter seats is the label from what appears to be an airplane which reads "LIFE VEST UNDER YOUR SEAT" or "FASTEN SEAT BELT WHEN SEATED". We were immediately greeted by the young woman behind the counter and we took a seat. There was a menu on the table and she was quick to bring us another. She also took our drink orders. We could see they have wine and beer options but we decided on a Diet Pepsi and ice water with lemon. We had already looked over the menu before arriving today and asked our server about some of her favorite items. She told us she loves the fried pork chop, wings and burgers. We asked her about her favorite sides and she told us she loves the candied yams, collards, and mac and cheese. My wife was anxious to try the fried pork chop and chose the candied yams and salad as her sides. I chose the cheeseburger with cheese and onions only with fries. I also added a side of baked mac n cheese. After our drinks were served, our server also brought us two sweet potato cornbread muffins. Our orders arrived about 15 minutes later and looked delicious. We were a bit surprised to see the yams and mac and cheese in to-go containers with lids and the salad in a clear to-go container. Below is how we ranked the items we ordered: The Mac n Cheese - 10/10, it was flavorful and very cheesy. I considered getting an order to-go for my lunch during the week at work. The Fried Pork Chop - 10/10, first time trying and instant fan Candied Yams - 10/10, delicious Sweet Potato Cornbread Muffins - 10/10 Side Salad - 8/10, the ranch didn't taste homemade and in order to give a 10/10 we need homemade ranch dressing. Fries - 5/10, they needed more seasoning and we prefer more crunch to the exterior. Don't get me wrong, they hit the spot with a little ketchup. Cheeseburger - 7/10, overall it was a decent burger but I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked, and I would have loved bacon as an option to upgrade. I was asked what I wanted on it verses having the option choices somewhere to pick from. Chili and pimento cheese are both good Southern options but we assume they do not have them. We will absolutely come back and encourage others to check them out. We do feel the interior suggests they intend to make it more intimate and upscale, however, the food is presented in "to-go" type packaging and served with packaged plastic utensils. We hope they can determine a way to offer dine in customers with non to-go containers and real silverware instead of plastic. read more

This restaurant recently opened at this location, which is basically a little beyond the middle of nowhere. This spot previously housed Ted's and then Andy's - both of which flew the coop! The outside is plain and rather worn looking, painted a soft gray. The inside has been nicely upfitted - soft color, a combination of booths and high tables, as well as a half a dozen spools at the small bar area! There are 4 large screen TVs spread around the small interior. There is some outside seating, as well. The menu is rather small - wings, tenders, burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwich, a small number of dinners including wings, tenders, fried pork chop, and baked chicken, as well as 10 side dishes. They do offer some lunch specials, including a pork chop sandwich with FF. I ordered the Pork Chop dinner, with sides of Mac & cheese and collards. This was a large, very flavorful, bone-in pork chop, among the best I've tasted in a restaurant. The two sides were very nice as well, and the portions were adequate. The items here are very much on the pricey side - the 1pork chop dinner with 2 sides rang up at $20! Three Whole Wings with 2 sides comes in at $20. The Chicken Sandwich with FF costs $12, as does the Cheeseburger with FF. 3 Chicken tenders with FF costs $13. In way of comparison, Southern Spice in Bermuda Run offers 2 nicely sized bone-in chops with 2 sides that are plentiful for $9.75! Omega House also has the same plate with at least the size of Southern Spice for $9.70. Ambiance - 3.5 Food - 4.5 Service - 4.5 Value - 2 read more

Horrible service. The staff their is rude. They serve cold Sara Lee cornbread muffins. The price is way to high for the quality of the food and the portions. I highly recommend avoiding this restaurant. read more

Nice restaurant very small, menu isn't vast one page to be exact. I ordered a special which was salmon bites, I got two sides, mac and cheese was very delicious, cheesy and flavorful. Baked beans very good as well taste a hint of brown sugar. The homie got baked chicken it's what I should have ordered, the collard greens were seasoned well, and the yams taste like dessert. The salmon bites in my opinion were to salty. If I'm in the area I will definitely try it again. read more

I'd improve ambience and food. Service was good. Food not so much. Fried fish sandwich was inedible.

WOW! If you haven't experienced their food make sure you do. This is our new find. Every bite was delicious. Don't pass on the collard greens or sweet cornbread. Congratulations to the chef. Well d read more

So we went to try Crave out. It's about a 22 minute drive from where we live. We got there, and were greeted once we walked in. It's a small yet cozy spot. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. The ambiance is nice, music playing while eating your food. So together, my husband and I ordered chicken wings, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, rice and gravy, and sweet potato yams. The food was piping hot when we received it. The wings were good & hot, I only felt like they needed to be seasoned a little more. The greens were good. I didn't try his rice with gravy, so can't speak on that item. The yams were good, not overly sweet. Now that Mac, in my opinion it needed some work. It had a good flavor, but it lacking the cheesiness, it was dry. I also ordered a sweet tea and that was good to my liking. Overall, I'd give this place another try, but would just order something else instead of the macaroni. read more

Awesome restaurant in the middle of nowhere that more people should know about! We were the only ones in there for lunch on a Saturday for the first half hour, and it was disappointing that our food was taking so long to come out. Then it came out and we understood why: Everything was made from scratch, all the way down to hand-breaded chicken, okra, and onion rings. Well worth the wait! Visit and tell all your friends about it, because start-up restaurants like this are so focused on quality food they likely don't have a lot of money for a marketing/ad budget and depend on word of mouth. The place is very clean. We can't wait to go back!! read more

Excellent! If you love fried chicken and collards, this is the place to go. Service was great too!

We have recently moved to Pfafftown, but have driven by this little spot often on our drive to town. We didnt realize they've been open since April. Now that we're in the area, we wanted to give it a try, and support this small local business. We ordered it as takeout. It's super cute, clean inside, and nice people run it. What we've gotten so far is Chicken Wings, Mac&Cheese, Collards, and Fried Okra. All were absolutely delicious! We will be back often! read more

No beer or wine. Mac and cheese dry. Wings were average. Service-good. Seemed very clean. But went on wing night and no beer with hot wings. All sides except salad was the usual high carb and fat choices. Not many healthy options. Probably won't go back. Sorry. Was hoping for a better experience. read more

My wife and I stopped in at the Crave for the first time. First thing I noticed was the place was clean and comfortable seating we were waited on fast but it took long time to get our food and when we did it was fresh and very good but expensive my wife got the pork chops and two sides I got two Carolina Dogs (one for ($10.00 or two for $12.00) and fries and both had drinks Total just a little less than $50.00, which I feel is high for a small country cooking place. read more

You have to drive a little to get here but it is worth it! The jerked lamb chops were delicious as were the collards and the candied yams. My wife had the BLT and she thoroughly enjoyed it. They have a good collection of sides, which I will sample when I come back again, which i surely will. This is a family owned restaurant and the family was delightful. I highly recommend you check Crave out. read more

Overall everything was ok. Service was bit slow and inattentive even though we were one of 2 tables in there. Food was ok, everything seemed frozen and fried from an entree perspective. Ordered a burger, and was told it was fresh but it was def a frozen patty. Should def cater to the little league folks across the street on a Saturday lunch time. read more

My son and I wanted to try something new. Did take out for dinner and enjoyed it. Everyone's taste buds are different and I am not a heavy season user. However, the seasonings used were pleasant and provided a great taste. The collards, spicy, yet delicious. Great spot an impromptu date night! Just a thought! read more

This is my first time going to the restaurant because when I saw a picture which was posted on Facebook, I was interested because I love yams and a Real fried pork chop and I was not disappointed. The Wings, Pork Chop, and all of the sides were perfect.. So I we'll pay them another visit soon, but I will have to have my husband go with me because I am not familiar with the area and I don't like traveling that far by myself . read more

This hidden gem offers REAL southern comfort food. No frills in the dining area and orders take time - that's because your selection is cooked to order. My husband and I had the chicken wing dinner (pork chops were sold out). My sides were rice with gravy and green beans. My husband's sides were collards and candy yams. We got three piping hot fried chicken wings representing soul food at its finest. They automatically served our entrees with hot sauce. Now that's what I'm talking about. And oh my God, the sweet potato cornbread made me buy extra pieces to go. I had never eaten it but now I'm in love. The prices are consistent with other typical franchised eateries, but it's worth it for this small restaurant. On Wednesdays, chicken wings are 50 cents, but you better go early - they sell out fast. Even my southern tea was brewed to perfection. I give this southern cuisine a 5 out of 5. Kudos to the chef. If you want excellent southern food, definitely visit Crave Southern Palate. read more

In town visiting and happened upon this place via yelp. Food was fantastic. Awesome family owned business with amazing soul/southern food. Great flavor and great service. read more

Food was fresh to order. I ordered my husband and I dinner. Pork chop dinner and 3 wing dinner. We received 2 huge pork chops and large wings. The food was piping hot and the service was great too. They were having karaoke this night and everyone in there seemed to have a good tome singing and eating! The vibe was nice too cute location and cute inside as well. Must try if in the area and looking for fresh dinner. I was too hungry and forgot to take pictures read more

Pork chops were tender and juicy. Collard greens were very tender and seasoned nicely. Pinto beans were delicious, like my Grandma made them. The staff was welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. Nice alternative for Pfafftown and I will be.back!​ read more

Absolutely amazing !! This was our first time and won't be our last! Great food, nice atmosphere, great service ! Highly recommend! The food is fresh, tasty, and not processed but home cooked delicious ! We will be back and plan to be regulars ! read more

Not a great experience. Called for a takeout order, the woman on the phone was extremely rude and didn't know the menu. She changed her mind on what they had available multiple times and then hungup without saying when it will be ready. Showed up and the food was ready but when we asked if everything was there, they stated there were 20 wings in one box. Got home, and we were missing the wings we were originally asking about. Tried to call 4 times and no answer so we drove back to ask them to remake our missing food, and they gave us the wrong flavor. Overall the wings were good but mac n cheese was flavorless and the service was terrible. read more

Went here for the first time tonight. food was excellent. You can tell it's made to order and delicious.

Never got to sample their food, got there for lunch and there was two people eating inside but the door was locked. We called and got the answering machine and left a message. We came from south Winston-Salem for lunch we never got. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. Great Atmosphere Great Vibes!!! The owner and staff were very welcoming and hard working definitely recommend and will be back again pretty soon !!! read more

Great food! Amazing greens and yams! Those chicken wings were the bomb.com!! The mac and cheese, wonderful!! Very homey and welcoming atmosphere! You got to visit! read more

Great food and great service. I had the fried chicken with turnip greens and Mac n cheese. All very good.

OMG! I ordered the pork chop dinner. I have never had such succulent, juicy and well seasoned pork chops (sorry mom). Chef James takes meticulous care on what goes out of the kitchen. My wife ordered a bunch of sides and said she will save some for tomorrow. 20 minutes later, there was nothing left to save. I had a beer while waiting for my order and chatted with Carson, Ladybug and Gramdma. This is a family run restaurant and the excellent quality of the food shows they take pride in what they serve. They have made big improvements inside. For those of you who remember the previous Ted's or Andy's, you will not recognize the place. They installed 4 big screen TV's. My wife and I will definitely be coming back. There is much on the menu to be tried and I look foward to it. I highly recommend this place. read more

The buffalo wings and baked Mac & cheese were delicious! True southern touch, will definitely order again.
