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.

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!

Bloody Mary + Coffee

(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!

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
Mina G.

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.

Cool bathroom
Mark J.

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  so good can't beat $1 tacos and the draft selection is amazing
Jose F.

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

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.

Beet salad!

TLDR: What was once a great place, has lost its way…read more We've been regulars at Fringe Bar, always enjoyed their trivia night and the food -- but they've lost their way in a most dramatic fashion and a moment when it mattered. We booked a table weeks in advance for a fun family meal, but upon arrival the maitre d' informed us that the inside restaurant had been closed for a mariachi musical evening and they were going to seat us on a picnic table outside. Putting aside the fact that it was 90 degrees and muggy, and that one of our guests was 85 years old, we said "ok." The appetizers and drinks came promptly and then suddenly, we were blasted with mariachi music out of a speaker next to our picnic table. We asked the manager to turn the music down and it was ok for a little while, but then someone came outside and turned it back up. It was so loud, you couldn't speak. And remember: this was the Fringe Bar - blasting Mexican music was not what we signed up for. We politey but firmly told the waiter that if he wanted a good tip, he would turn the music down, and he said that since we were a party of five, our tip was automatically charged. WTF! Fortunately, the manager got it, and she turned the volume down again. And it stayed down for the rest of the meal. The food was not as good as previously -- the chicken sandwich was overcooked and dried out, the rice bowl as underseasoned and the rice was overcooked, and the french fries soggy, not crisp. The caesar salad lettuce was crisp. Thankfully! When the check came, it totaled $310 with the 20% automatic tip. I had ordered a Tito's on the rocks and they charged an extra dollar for Tito's and an extra $5 for the "rocks". I wish I had kept the receipt because I would posted it. This was the first time that I was charged for the "rocks". Rather than complaining again, I'm posting this review for others to see. Fringe Bar - adios (para siempre)

Service was so good, that we were able to have serious conversations, and yet also have an understanding of what was on the menu and were served delicious food in a way that didn't feel rushed. We particularly like the mountain daisy cocktail, which was a green chartreuse cocktail... So worth the price. We also had "kink in the armor," a bourbon drink with mole bitters. The wine list was superb, and the meats in particular or brined and serve, served perfectly cooked every time! Highly recommend the mussels toast, the oysters, and the chicory salad! The lamb and pork chops were so so good. Not enough superlatives for our experience, clearly. Might be the cocktails talking...

Pretty good overall!…read more Considerably big space for Philly. They had an upstairs too but I am not sure why it wasn't open during majority of the night. When the big crowd from the conference left they opened the upstairs. The Mac and cheese is SO GOOD. Very creamy and rich, the bread crumbs were an amazing surprise edition. This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw.

I had the porchetta sandwich which was recommended by our waiter and was SO DELICIOUS! It is a must! At first my wife was concerned about the limited menu. They may not have an extensive menu but what they do, they do right! Our waiter was really great and very welcoming, especially as we were from out of town.

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak.

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.

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!
