    Chicken and waffles
    Lilly J.

    Enjoyed watching the eagles game for brunch! I got the grilled cheese and tomato soup which hit the spot, if anything the sourdough was a teeny bit greasy. My husband had the chicken and waffles which he really enjoyed. Bloody Mary/bloody Maria were delightful, hubby likes spice so he asked for it extra spicy, it had a niceee kick. Star of the meal was by far the fries and beer aioli dip, perfect thin, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside fries and the aioli was bangin. Highly recommend if only for the fries.

    (to the tune of "Build a B*tch" by Bella Poarch) If I had to build a brunch (a brunch) And I could pick and choose I'd have lots of options for foods and a variety of brunch booze If I was building brunch (some brunch) I'm make my way to Kraftwork soon and if you need brunch, this is the spot for you (yeah) Beer and burgers, this is the spot But I heard they had some brunch Saw the menu, looking good Went around a weekend lunch Got some chicken and some waffles Huevos Rancheros, bacon (natch) And the potatoes were so crispy almost ordered a second batch The prices are on point with plates as large as my big head Bloody Mary garnished with grilled cheese - I am DEAD. It's been a minute since I've visited Kraftwork (as I'm expecting a baby and haven't been going to bars too much) but I didn't realize they now offer brunch! Naturally, I had to try it (as it's a quick walk) and was so pleased with the experience. Our server was the friendliest, and the food came out fast but hot/fresh. The Bloody Mary was a real hit with my husband, and I was OBSESSED with my chicken and waffles - nearly licked the plate. We found out they have takeout beer, too - looking forward to taking advantage of that when I'm drinking again!

    Went back in the other day and was pleasantly surprised by the new vegetarian menu options. I had the Brussels sprouts dish along with the salad topped with the goat cheese fritters 10/10. Will be coming more frequently!

    Things I Recommend at Kraftwork: 1. Calling ahead if you have 11 people. Probably a good idea anywhere. We had to split into two tables because you can't just walk in at prime brunchtime and expect an open table for 11. 2. The fries. I was told they were the best fries in the world. I disagree. They are very good fries, but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever. 3. Beer. They have a lot of it, and you should drink it. I had an excellent Founders gose, but you do you. Also, the bloody mary is very solid. 4. The roasted beet salad. Everyone likes goat cheese fritters, and if you eat beets you can all talk about the fun colors in your poop the next day. (Yes, we're delightful conversationalists.) 5. The fried chicken and waffles. With two eggs, it's a gigantic, delicious meal. 6. Telling the server that your parents are sitting at the other table, and they will be paying for your table as well. Things I Don't Recommend at Kraftwork: 1. The beer can chicken sandwich. It wasn't bad, really it was just a little bland and the pulled chicken wasn't really what I was expecting (and I almost broke my tooth on a bone lost in there). Then again, I don't know what I was expecting. Either way, if you're in a chicken mood go for the chicken and waffles. 2. Telling the server that your parents are sitting at the other table, and that they will be paying for your table as well...unless that's actually true. This can get you in trouble. 3. Chatting the server up about the origins of electronica in the krautrock scene. They don't know what you're talking about, and you sound like a dick. Yeah, I'm talking to you.

    It's been a while since I visited. But I now live in the area and wanted to give a local bar/restaurant some attention. I do like the fact that the atmosphere was just a pleasant. Casual and comfortable. I've always remembered Kraftwork for the craft cocktails and great tap selections. Food has always been very well prepared. Always fresh ingredients and attention to detail. This is not as common at comparable businesses. To summarize, this visit was very pleasant. Not disappointed with all I've known about before. The only negative I found was that my bartender was not customer centric. He appeared like he was not into working during my time there. Maybe he was just having a bad day or he hates this job? Everyone else was very courteous and accommodating in my observation. I will definitely come back again and again.

    I was looking for a brunch place and this came up in my search. I liked the menu and decided to give it a try. Upon walking in, we were seated right away. The dishes we ordered off the brunch menu were a burger and the tortilla ensalada. Both were delicious, flavorful and good value for the price. I also ordered the party jam strawberry beer and really enjoyed it. Overall a great place to grab brunch!

    Burger

    Came here for dinner. They have outdoor seating with a few heaters. Great beer menu and a couple of cocktails. We were in mood for a burger and they only have house burger on menu, can add one topping with paying for more. Burger comes with fries or salad. Tasty shoestring fries. Burger is a huge portion, well done burger. Wish they had more variety but that's ok.

    Tortilla ensalada
    Linda M.

    Kraftwork proved to be a hit for my group of three and my mini-me. We almost did not come here since people reported it is not good for families. I 100% disagree. Everyone was warm and friendly to Nora. High chairs were available and children's cups. They even changed the TV to Cat in the Hat without being asked. Nora had the hummus plate and their side of chicken. The hummus was definitely house made and pita was perfect for her little hand and dipping. She enjoyed every bite. For my dinner I had the Tortilla Ensalada and it was both flavorful and beautiful. The kale and rice blend were layered for great visual effect. The staff was very pleasant and engaging with our group. While no there is no "kids menu" and yes they specialize in Craft beers do no hostage to bring in your family.

    Asparagus salad
    Diana M.

    The one thing that stood out to me here was the service. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. We also had a child with us and they were very kid-friendly. They did have high chairs available. I personally got the asparagus salad with chicken. I thought the food was just ok. I didnt realize the chicken was going to be shredded. I thought it was going to be a piece of grilled chicken. My friends did enjoy their tortilla ensalada.

    Bratwurst with fries
    Grace B.

    Great place with yummy food. We went mid day on Saturday and it was super easy to find a seat. I told my waiter I liked super sweet drinks and he sweetened a cocktail just for me. Overall good and relaxed place to get a bite to eat.

    Huevos Rancheros... a must try for brunch!
    Megan S.

    Updating my review... the beer can chicken sandwich deserves a star of its own. Moist, juicy, tender chicken with long hots and sharp provolone on an insanely delicious ciabatta type roll. A must try. Worth noting- They recently tweaked the menu a little bit, and the mushroom baguette is different now. The old one (which was my FAVORITE!) featured seasonal wild mushrooms, sautéed greens, roasted red peppers, and shaved parmesan cheese on an amazing baguette. I haven't tried the new version, which includes walnut-arugula sun dried tomato pesto, sun dried tomatoes, and red onions on a ciabattini roll. I really loved the old version... sadface.

    This place was heaven! The pirogies were delicious and the prime rib, French onion soup was delightful. Big kudos also to the bartender. He made a perfect old fashion. The only downside was the fried mozzarella app. It was overly smoky and we didn't finish it. Finally, service was great.

    Philly, we are not welcome here…read more Meet Henry, the manager at Fringe Bar. As a Northern Liberties resident, I've visited Fringe Bar several times and have generally enjoyed the experience before my recent experience with the manager. Unfortunately, my visit on June 13 around 4:30 PM completely changed my opinion of this establishment. My friend and I were seated and waited nearly 20 minutes before our food order was taken. Our server explained that their ordering system had gone down.... We were understanding and patient but to be honest it felt like she forgot. About 10 minutes later, we finally received our drinks, and our server shared that management had continued assigning her additional tables despite the issues, making it difficult for her to keep up. We sympathized with her and gave the staff plenty of grace. After waiting another 30 minutes, nearly an hour total since arriving, we still had not received our food. What made the situation even more frustrating was watching another table that arrived roughly 30 minutes after us receive their meals before we did. At that point, I approached Henry to ask about our order. I explained that we had been waiting for nearly an hour and that guests who arrived significantly later had already been served and they needed to hurry up with our food because we were hungry. Before I could even finish speaking, Henry interrupted me, stated that he would comp the food, and told us to leave. All I wanted was an explanation and asked that our order be prioritized after such a long wait. Instead of attempting to resolve the issue, Henry immediately escalated the situation and effectively removed us from the restaurant. The interaction felt dismissive, unprofessional, and completely lacking in customer service. Even another manager appeared surprised by how quickly our order was canceled and how the situation was handled. The entire experience left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Mistakes happen. Delays happen. What determines whether customers return is how management responds. Unfortunately, Henry's arrogance, poor communication, and inability to handle a reasonable customer concern ensured that I will never return. The attached photos include timestamps documenting our visit and the lengthy wait and a photo of Henry so you can avoid him. DO NOT COME.

My server was also very quick to take my order, kept my water glass full, removed used plates from the table quickly, and was quite responsive to all requests. Really impressed with the service! Atmosphere- 4/5 It's beautiful inside. There's bar seating, outside seating, and a variety of spaces inside to sit. It is also quite "cozy." The pillows, dim lighting, and low floor lamps made for a really nice brunch. I'd go back just for the atmosphere. Value- 4/5 Great value! Nothing too expensive, and there are a variety of options at different price points. The service and atmosphere really make this a great option. Opportunities for Learning- 5/5 There are many learning opportunities! There are different seasonal options/ menus, many different dishes that would teach you something (ex., the Italian frittata vs. the French quiche), and some cool ingredients that would make you Google.

Honestly - I wanted to love this place, but it didn't hit all the way home for me. What it did hit home for me were the vibes. I loved the interior decor, the small homey vibes , and I could feel the love and passion that went into this place. Small inside, cozy, and I think I only saw a total of 3 staff that ran the place. I really wanted to love them! To be perfectly honest, I'm probably not the best reviewer for this spot. I eat 80% vegan .. and cannot not remember the last time I had beef prior to this meal. However - I didn't find it to be particularly mind blowing. It was cooked to a good temperature , served with salt for you to tailor to your taste and oh I can't forget to mention how much I loved the chefs homemade hot sauce ( which they do sell on site ! ) it was solid , but not something I was personally blown away by for $90 and not something I'd "cheat" on my diet for again to eat. I felt similarly about the striped bass. It was cooked well, but I found it under seasoned. Overall, I don't think it's the spot for me but I DO think it's the spot for many. I definitely recommend you check out this small humble restaurant and give them a shot. It's beautiful and warm inside, and you can feel the love in this establishment Check out Elwood!

The space is cozy and welcoming, and the service is always great. It's a perfect spot to have a family-style meal with family or friends (definitely go for the ham on Easter). They specialize in classic local recipes and techniques, but don't let that fool you on flavor. If you haven't had Pennsylvania Dutch food, etc. it's definitely worth going to Elwood to experience a great execution of this style. The menu is always changing, but expect large portions meant to be shared, so we always prefer going with large groups. We've had almost every dish on their menus so it's hard to go back and reflect on all of them, but definitely start with the pierogies, get your meat of choice, and order the funnel cake for dessert. You can't really go wrong!
