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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Taco tuesday was amazing. Great place to eat and drink. Very good atmosphere, friendly staff.

They were out of a few items we wanted to try. Bartender was friendly and nice. They are not doing beer flights - I don't know what the point of Philly Beer Week is. Maybe don't participate? Popcorn chicken with buffalo sauce and cajun seasoning was so good! May not return. read more

Kraftwork is on Frankford Ave and the parking is usually a little easier for me in that area. My daughter and myself had our first visit on an October Friday night. We were there later and were seated without a wait. The space was crowded and doing well. I had been at the Side Car before owned by the same folks as Kraftwork. The menu has a similar layout and there is very good beer selection. The inside is open with brick walls, wood tables and this really cool metal handsaw sculpture over the bar. Crispy Pierogies - Mashed potatoes, choucroute, mushrooms, and chive creme fraiche, apple chutney. These were very flavorful and crème fraise and apple chutney worked well together. This was a bigger then we expected. French Onion Short Rib Sandwich - Caramelized onions melted Gruyere, horseradish creme fraiche, and ciabatinni bun. This was an excellent sandwich and the meat was tender. We also had the Shrimp Po' Boy special. This was pretty good, it wasn't as good as the other dishes but the bread was excellent. The star of the night was the dessert, the fried Apple Pie with house made vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce. This was one of the better desserts I have has in a long time and if you like apples, cinnamon and deliciousness look no further. All the servers at Kraftwork were friendly and helpful and I would definitely go back again. read more
I really wish there were cool bars like Kraftwork in the Burbs. I enjoyed everything about this small bar. The decor, food & large draft beer selection were all fantastic. The service was excellent from the hostess to our waiter. I had to try their mustard dipping sauce from all the reviews on yelp. I did like it but not as much as most people have. I thought the prices were very fair and actually a bit less then I would have thought for the city. read more

I came here for lunch with Nora S. and we loved the atmosphere. The entire layout has different gears and turbines, even as the table legs as if you were really in an old craftsman's shop. Just overall very chill and fun vibes. The only thing to be careful about is that the service can be slow during lunch. It took a while for everyone to get their food, but I have to say the food is well worth the wait. We decided to split two salads between us, so that we could try the different options. The arugula and beet salad is incredible. The dressing is perfect and the fried goat cheese will blow your mind. It is not your typical bar food, but so delicious and the ultimate summer salad! I also tried the tortilla salad which comes on top of two fried tortillas that are sandwiched between bean dip. To me, it's the healthy alternative to nachos. Very yummy and will fill you up! read more
I didn't have high expectations because I didn't really have any at all. My husband and I were going back and fourth on where to go in Fishtown today for brunch and we decided here on a complete whim. When we first walked into Kraftwork we both started laughing because it smelled exactly like a Chipotle. Weird. We opted to sit outside because it was so nice. We were told to sit anywhere close to the building. The tables were nice and spacious. The menu was decently big. I really wanted a salad, but both options they had didn't stand out to me. We ordered a round of bloody Mary's for starters and I had about four sips of mine and stopped drinking it. It was pretty bad. Very thick and overly spicy. My husband couldn't finish his either. For my meal I ended up choosing the veggie omelette. The spinach inside was very good but that was really it. The tomatoes were definitely not fresh and the fried hash was veryyyyy greasy. Also they brought out the wrong food to us and then had us wait a while before they brought anything else out to us. A plus is that they have a good amount of vegetarian options! read more

Perogies we're good but I was very surprised they did not come with caramelized onions. The cheesesteak eggrolls... I wouldn't order them again. Taste was just ok.. didn't seem to have any cheese, so it was just a well seasoned steak inside a fried roll on top of some liver creamy sauce. I didn't care for the sauce either. The chili sauce was the best part of the dish! The burger was delicious! Well.. as always! :) and it comes with string fries and salad. All very well prepared! read more

Kratwork is a great spot if you want the chance to try different craft beers from various breweries/microbreweries from around the country. The beer line up rotates on a weekly basis, so you're not always stuck with the same options. They even go as far as telling you what's going to be poured the following week on the menu. I particularly like their half price pints for happy hour (which leads to most beers being ~$3 a piece) because sometimes, you'll end up with a sweet deal on an ultra premium brew. Though the beer selection is often overwhelming (because everything sounds so good), so just going for the beer flight is highly recommended. As far as the food goes, it's pretty decent, but with a few things left to be desired. If you want an amazing burger, this is definitely a great spot for one and you definitely get your money's worth. The beef patty seems to be very fresh, and a brioche bun is a nice touch. The fries are also on point. The pretzel bites appetizer is pretty good, but the cheese is a little on the bland side and for what you pay, the portion is TINY. The pierogies are also enjoyable, but to NOT serve them with caramelized onions is a crime. You can also opt for meat/cheese, and hummus platters if you're just looking for a light snack to share while you're drinking beer, they do have a good selection for a reasonable price. read more
I live for their beet salad! Their fried goat cheese balls, seeds and red wine vinaigrette pair perfectly with their seasoned beets and arugula. Have had this salad at least three times and it is so amazing I can't order anything else here. Their decorations are also very fun! Everything is gear themed with their tables to bathroom fixtures as gears and tool shaped. They also have a large beer selection but have only been here for lunches so haven't had time to try out their wide selection. read more

Decided to swing by here to kill some time before a comedy show at Punchline. We just wanted some bar food before heading out, so we came in to see what they were all about. Walked in and it was what you'd expect from a slightly hipster bar in the slightly hipster area of Fishtown. Dark, but clean and roomy, we were greeted and sat at the bar. The bartender was cool and quick and took our orders right away. I went with the burger, and we got the foie gras cheesesteak springrolls to share and I totally forgot what the misses settled on (sorry!). For the things I DID eat however, everything was tasty. The burger was cooked perfectly, and the fries were cooked the same way. The springrolls were good too, but they were just cheesesteak springrolls. They tried to fancy them up with "foie gras sauce" (meh) and a "cherry pepper relish" (again, meh), but they honestly just wouldve been better with ketchup. Still, tasty. The bartender was great; present without being obtrusive. The ambience is cool and the clientele was chill. The bathrooms were also clean, which is always a plus, because you never know what you're gonna get in that department. I'm not often in Fishtown, but I ever am, I'd surely stop by and give them another go. read more

We wanted a burger with some drinks and decided to give this place a try. We made a great decision! Great food and great customer service. I also like the way the place is designed with the original bricks. I ordered the cauliflower bites as an app, and the Kraftwork burger with caramelized onions, sharp cheddar cheese and guacamole. Both items were great. The burger was so juicy and the cheese was so savory. The fries were just mmmmmm. The cauliflower bites came with a spicy sauce which was amazing. I have to add that they have a enormous selection of kraft beer (even though, I am not a beer drinker). They also have wine and specialty drinks! Please don't sleep on this place read more
My friend and I stopped here on the hunt for a boozy brunch. They were open at 10:30 which was earlier than some of the other places in the neighborhood. We got there around 10:45 which was great because when we left an hour or so later, the place was overflowing. I ordered a frenchy mimosa sub orange juice instead of the grapefruit juice. Essentially, it was OJ, champagne and st germaine for $7. So yummy! I also had the shrimp and grits that had braised collard greens with bacon and a side of breakfast potatoes ($15). Very delicious. Overall, a great brunch spot with a good variety of food and cocktails. read more
When you walk in you see the most intricately designed hop emblazoned saw having above the bar. I sat down with my boyfriend a little after noon on a Saturday to grab a beer and a snack. Beer selection at this place is on point. There were a bunch of things that I wanted to try! I settled with a New Belgium collab beer that was a Belgian Ale. It was amazingly refreshing and tasty. I love Belgian style beers but this one shot to the top of my list of favorites. I would definitely make an effort to get to this bar just to try that collab. The fries that we ordered were HUGE, plenty to share even if you had 4 people. It came with ketchup and a mustard aioli. I didn't like the mustard pairing with the fries because the fries already had a lot of garlic and savory seasoning so the mustard just overpowered it. They also had some soccer matches on the TV, making this a definite location for viewing. The staff at this place kind of seemed indifferent - but that might be because we just bought some beers and fries making us not the most important clients. I'm looking forward to stopping by here soon to try some other beers and maybe a meal. Vegan Bahn Mi looks delicious! read more
