Craving Grill is a neat little spot to pick up a quick, tasty Mediterranean meal for lunch or dinner. They've also got two tables inside if you want to eat in. The menu is standard shawarma/falafel/samosa dishes prepared very well and served with a friendly smile. I've tasted their entire menu and it's all been good-to-great. This restaurant shares space with a gas station convenience store, so you can also stock up on snacks etc for the rest of the day. read more

Despite it's modest ambience, the food here definitely scores a 10/10. For vegetarians, I'd recommend taking out the falafel wrap along with garlic fries. You could try calling in advance if you're looking to pickup but given the short wait time, I'd recommend coming in peron. read more

Fantastic food in a lousy location. Great to take back to your room or down to the beach. There isn't a thing on the menu that I wouldn't eat over and over again! read more

Hi. Love Craving Grill but had a not so good experience there. Ordered a Gyro and a Chicken Sharma and waited 1/2 hour for it. I wouldn't have minded so much except they didn't inform me they were short staffed and late until after I had been sitting there for so long. The chicken was cold and extremely dry. The gyro and veg was good though. I wouldn't have even reviewed, but they have tragically altered the garlic sauce recipe. It tasted like it had been diluted with mayonnaise, which is very, very sad because that sauce was AWESOME. If Craving Grill reads this I hope they bring back the original recipe. read more

When we were in town last year, I saw this spot and was intrigued but we didn't get a chance to stop in. This time I checked it out when we stopped for gas on our way to dinner. I peaked in to check it out and the owner greeted me and was super friendly. I told him I was just looking, since we were on our way to pizza. I wanted to see if the meat was on the spike. It was!! He gave me samples of the gyro and the chicken and they were both delicious!!! So flavorful and tender! The next day we went and picked up gyros and dolmas to eat on the beach and they were all absolutely delicious! Extra tzatziki came on the side, which was one of the best I've had. Meat was tender and the veggies were delicious! I will always look forward to stopping here when were in town. Scrumptious grilled meat, citrusy dolmas, and couple of cold ones made for an awesome beach picnic. Not your average gas station snacks! read more

Both my husband and myself got the vegetarian platter which was absolutely one of the best Mediterranean dishes we've ever had, and we lived in a lot of cities. It had falafel, tabouli, hummus, baba ghanouj, and then I also got some samosas on the side and he got fries which were also delicious. Just absolutely delicious and we would highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

After spending some time at Glass Beach and Fort Bragg, we needed a quick and easy lunch. Cravingrill is conveniently less than a mile away from Glass Beach. Its storefront is combined with the gas station which makes it super convenient to grab gas before leaving. There were two small tables to sit at if you wanted to dine in, but we decided to eat in the car. Order: -Falafel plate: Not too bad. It came with a salad, rice, and 6-7 pieces of falafel. The salad was lightly dressed and had fried pita as the croutons. The rice was nice and light. It had more Indian flavors than Mediterranean. The cardamom seasoning is quite nice. The falafel was ok. There wasn't as much herbs (parsley/cilantro) as I was hoping that would give you the green color. -Chicken tikka masala: Very saucy and came with rice and a hot pita. Flavors were decent and chicken was tender. All in all, enjoyed the food and gave us energy for the rest of the day! read more

Best find in Fort Bragg! Stopped for gas and saw this little spot right next-door! Had the Gyro and Greek salad. Both excellent and authentic home made. Place is clean and owners wonderful. The convenience store has beer and anything you may need for a perfect picnic or just sit down meal. I'll be back for sure when up there again read more

This place has delicious food and several vegetarian and vegan options. The food was cooked fresh to order and the portions were large and generous for the price. It doesn't look like much from the outside or the inside but the food was better than I expected. read more

Traveling from the Bay Area on our way to OR via the coast, we stopped by Fort Bragg for the night. After a late afternoon hike along the beach to the "Glass" (not much glass left - stop picking them up people!) beach, we ordered the combo shawarma of beef & chicken. Just a heads up, somehow they make ordering the combo a little confusing. Good thing is that the combo is really good! The meats are tender and tasty - not bland. The accompanying Greek salad and rice pilaf are equally tasty. We also ordered a side order of Hummus w/ pita - and it's literally hummus and PITA (1 pita). The hummus was creamy. We enjoyed the food a lot. read more

Oh boy, we totally LOVE Cravingrill. As others mentioned, it is a tiny place, but big on flavor. We discovered it on our last trip to Fort Bragg and were eager to return. Last time we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala platter and the Gyro platter. Today we ordered the Falafel platter and the Chicken Shawarma platter. All were served with delicious saffron rice and salad. SO much food, we have leftovers again! And the sauces, yummy! We also ordered pita which is very tasty. The service is friendly and the prices are right. Check it out! read more

I'd say this place is surprising. Who would think you could get decent food at a gas station? Don't let the location keep you away, it's worth a try, if you are looking for decent food, quickly. I have gotten food togo a number of times and it is consistently good. The staff is always friendly, with prompt service. We have eaten the gyro, the shawarma plate, and the tikka masala plate. Can not say anything negative about any of these items. read more

I loooove getting take out from here! Every time I go in, everyone is so kind and always smiling. Their food always tastes fresh and flavorful. It is incredibly hard to find good food in Fort Bragg, and Cravingrill may actually be one of the best eateries in this little town. The ambiance is not my favorite, but when you're diving into a fresh hot gyro or a falafel plate it's really hard to be upset. Wonderful staff, wonderful food and consistent quality. Absolute gem here by the ocean. read more

If you think that amazing food could never come out of a gas station eatery, then think again! The caption of Cravingrill, connected to a Sinclair gas station, was "Fresh Mediterranean," and indeed, most of their menu consisted of shawarma, gyros, and falafels, like you'd expect from most casual Mediterranean places. But the menu also offered things like samosas, chicken tikka masala, mango lassi, and even boba! I may have been confused, but am I glad to have tried this place out, as this turned out to be some of the best Mediterranean (or whatever) cuisine I've had in a while! My first pick from the menu was the vegetarian platter, which came with hummus, baba ghanoush, two dolmas, two falafels, and tabbouleh! Every item on this platter tasted so fresh and vibrant, but my favorite components were the thick, creamy hummus and the refreshing tabbouleh! I was also a huge fan of the herbed tzatziki sauce, the creamy tahini sauce, and the hot sauce that came in ramekins on the side, which all added great flavors to every bite! Next, I tried the combo platter, which came with a perfectly dressed salad made of romaine, greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and crispy pita croutons, along with a choice of two different meats. I had both the chicken shawarma and the beef shawarma, and both of these came with delicious, distinct spice mixtures, and as an added bonus, the beef shawarma had a nice crispy texture too! These were some of the best shawarmas I've had in a long time, and overall, I was simply blown away by how amazing the food at Cravingrill was--especially given its location! read more

Great food, good portions, outstanding service ; I'm so glad we have this place in Fort Bragg.

We were very disappointed after reading such amazing reviews. The falafel was dry and grainy and had no flavor. The rice was dry, the shawarma was dry, and the hummus had no flavor. The hummus portion is quite large and I only received one small piece of "pita" about the size of a tortilla which had no flavor either and was stiff and hard. The desserts were pretty good however. Overall, everything just lacked flavor and was dry. read more

Delicious spot for to go food. Picked up a couple platters and ate them overlooking the trestle bridge. Highly recommend if you're looking for some easy Mediterranean food. Get the hot sauce - so good. read more

I was really excited to try this place but when I came in the guy at the register had his nose hanging out of his mask and another worker had their mask on their chin. I am sad. :( I wanted a gyro but it's not worth catching covid or supporting a business that disregards their customer's health - if they won't wear a mask I can't trust their kitchen to be clean either. read more

Strange location. Missed it when driving by cuz really small, connecting next to a corner gas station. Stopped here to eat before heading to Glass Beach is actually on same street. Just drive down towards the ocean and will see sign. Chicken shawarma was actually delicious. Seasoned just right and flavorful. Plenty of meat for a regular size. Can't imagine ordering a large cuz lady said would be more meat stuffed in the flatbread. Came with three lil container of herbal white yogurt like tangy dressing. Dressing great as well. Not impressed with the tikka masala sauce thought. Recommend sticking with the wraps. Great place to grab food before heading to beach down the street of course. This place is definitely conveniently located for tourists. read more

Great food, too much salad in the platters for the price, half the container was greens.

Being vegetarian can limit your lunch options greatly. Even food traditionally vegan based are Americanized and add in chicken or beef. So when I saw Mediterranean food with a falafel option I jumped on it. It is nestled in next to a gas station, which if you are like me, makes you pause. And I paused quite a while until my hunger overcame my anxiety and I placed an order. Only to go, the parking lot is so small I don't think they could handle people hanging around to eat. I do suggest figuring out how to back into a parking space because it will be difficult to back out with the pumps and other cars right there. I also suggest calling in the order so that you can grab your food (maybe fill your car up first) and go. I got the falafel wrap and pita with hummus. My husband (as of 4 days ago) got the falafel platter. It came with tazikki, garlic sauce, a red sauce and tahini. I did not try the red sauce or the tahini. The taziki was good, the garlic sauce was the most amount of garlic I have even experienced in a dipping sauce. Like it was made of nothing but garlic. It was a bit much for me and I like garlic. The falafel was cooked very well. Round balls that did not crumble when you took a bite full of flavor. I put the hummus on my wrap, which was falafel, salad and dressing on/in a pita. The pita and hummus was one round pita and a lot of hummus. I thought it was disproportionate but when I put the hummus in the wrap and gave some to my husband to dip his falafel in, it worked out. The falafel platter was falafel with rice and salad. The salad had pita croutons which were very good and I felt they were a unique touch. The rice was good, maybe a bit sweeter than I expected. He tried the sauces and liked the taziki, garlic and hummus the best, but agreed the garlic was way stronger than he normally likes. We were very happy with the flavor and texture of our meals. We also felts that each meal was just enough for each of us. I was filled up by the wrap and he was filled up by the platter. If we come through Mendocino again we would call ahead and bring some falafel to the oceans views. Sorry I forgot pictures, I was very hungry. read more

Are you kidding me? Now I have to travel 4 hours from Silicon Valley to eat amazing Greek/Mediterranean food. We ordered three plates and a Greek salad that was plenty for our family of 5. Food was absolutely fantastic. Don't be fooled by the small location connected to a gas station. This place is as good as it gets, so do yourself a favor and check this place out. The owner or manager also took care of my kids as well, which was an outstanding display of true hospitality. Obviously, I can't say enough, just eat here and keep this place open for years to come. We'll be back. read more

Do not let the location fool you, the food is amazing!! This is a must when in Fort Brag!!

We were quite delighted to find this little hole in the wall restaurant serving halal Mediterranean / Indian food in this small costal town in Fort Bragg. We ordered the chicken tikka masala platter, chicken shawarma platter, side of falafel and hummus with pita along with mango lassi's. Firstly, the quantity of food was huge, each of the platters are given out in 8" to go containers that can feed two people easily. Secondly, all the food tasted fresh and very flavorful. The meat was tender and juicy. The yellow rice was not too oily and paired well with the chicken. The falafel were crispy but not overdone. I would definitely go here again and would recommend this place to anyone looking for the ethnic cuisine. read more

VEGETARIAN REVIEW: I recently realized I've wasted a lot of time being frustrated at the price of food at Cravingrill, rather than appreciating it for what it is: Fresh and delicious middle eastern food, in tiny little Fort Bragg (which also explains the prices, because nothing is cheap on the coast, other than trashy Taco Bell). They have delicious samosas, dolmas, cauliflower wraps, falafel, hummus, and baba ghanoush. There's also salads and now boba drinks. I'm currently addicted to the Veggie Platter (2 dolmas, 2 falafels, hummus, baba ghanoush, tabouli, pita, and tahini dressing). I request spicy hummus instead of the regular; both are creamy and delicious. I'm always impressed with how heavy that bugger is; at $10.99, I'd say you get what you pay for (delicious, healthy, and fresh vegetarian food). Definitely give this place a shot! read more
