Casual dining about on par with your local Applebee's. Vibe: Bar and lots of seating including an area that can be curtained off presumable for private events, overall casual family friendly vibe. Service: Good, fast, pleasant Food: The Asian beef tacos which were fine, came with 3 tacos, heavy on the filling, flavors were so-so. The chocolate cake was a layered cake, the ganache was good, could have used more strawberry slices to cut through the richness. Drinks: The Raspberry lime rickey mocktail was perfectly sweet and sour, tasted like candy. Value: Tacos were $18, for the quality I would say that these were overpriced. The cake was a good portion for desert and was $9. Other: The bathroom was dark, could improve in the lighting. Obviously more a customer issue and could have gone between cleanings but there was shredded paper towels scattered on the ground. Overall this wasn't a bad meal by any means, just overpriced for basic food. read more

I would love to leave this place a five star review because the staff was great and the food was delicious, but we ended up having to take food to go. It's advertised as being family friendly, so we thought it would be a great place to bring our toddler. They grabbed a booster seat for us but didn't have any high chairs. It didn't go well for us. We asked for a check and boxes for our food and left. Had they had a high chair with being advertised as family friendly, this restaurant would easily get 5 stars. read more

Food is very good. Never had a bad meal. Their eggs Benedict is delicious. They serve brunch daily and Nicole is a great bartender!

There are three key elements to a successful, well-rounded Yelp review--food, service, and ambiance--and Krave earned a gold star in every single one. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Both simple and deeply nuanced, every dish I tried offered a fresh, elevated take on a familiar favorite. Each bite was packed with flavor, making for a truly memorable dining experience. The shrimp tacos, for instance, were a seafood lover's dream--perfectly grilled shrimp paired with crisp, fresh vegetables and a creamy taco sauce, all wrapped in warm tortillas filled to the brim. As for the mozza balls, they were a revelation. Hot and crispy on the outside, generously dusted with fresh Parmesan, and bursting with rich, creamy mozzarella inside. The crust was so perfectly crunchy that even Sonic's legendary mozzarella sticks would have some serious competition. These golden bites of cheesy perfection were nothing short of divine. The fried shrimp were enormous and cooked to absolute perfection, encased in a flavorful, perfectly crispy batter. They were incredible on their own--so much so that the accompanying dipping sauce, while a nice touch, was completely unnecessary. The bruschetta was warm and fluffy, topped with juicy, perfectly ripened tomatoes and a generous handful of fresh, peppery arugula, all drizzled with rich, warm olive oil. There was plenty to share--but it was so good, you wouldn't want to. The food was so insanely good that I was kraving more before I even made it home--seriously, I considered turning the car around halfway just for another bite. The service was top-notch from the moment we sat down. Our server greeted us before we even had our chairs pulled out, welcomed us to Krave, handed us menus, and took our drink orders right away. She was back quickly with full glasses and a friendly smile. When we ordered appetizers, she kept us updated on their progress, making sure we never had to wonder when they'd arrive. Attentive, efficient, and genuinely welcoming--it doesn't get much better than that. She kept that same level of service throughout our entire visit--never missing a beat. Our glasses stayed full, our table stayed clear, and we never had to ask for a thing. This was the kind of service that makes you want to tip extra extra. The ambiance was perfect--Krave has the chill vibe down to a science. Relaxed atmosphere, great lighting, comfy seating, and just the right level of background noise to keep things lively without being overwhelming. If my kids hadn't been with me, I could've easily made myself at home at the bar for the afternoon. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. I usually try to visit a new restaurant every time I go out, just to keep things interesting. But Krave might have just messed up that plan--it's definitely earned a spot on my list of go-to places. read more

Solid food at great prices my husband loves their chicken parm and always has enough leftover for a second meal. We love eating at the bar and Nicole makes a great cosmo. read more

Came here for brunch and the place was almost empty. They have a $20 brunch special where you can order a brunch entree and get a bloody or mimosa with your meal, and it's not really worth it IMO. I got the braised beef hash and my partner got the brunch burger. The beef hash was okay - beef was kina stringy and dry, it's like they took left over beef stew and put it on plain homefries with a bit of onion, topped it with fried eggs and called it a hash. My toast was griddled flat with very little butter. My partner liked his brunch burger, seems like this is a decent place for a burger. The bloody wasn't good, tasted like an oxidized version of Mr. And Mrs. Ts, I didn't finish it. Service was okay, kind of frosty, thought it was odd the server stood far away whenever he spoke to us. Space is pretty big, clean, dark, and traditional. Overall sub par experience, wouldn't go out of my way to return here. read more

Met a small group for lunch on a Saturday. I didn't even know this place existed! It wasn't terribly crowded during our stay, and not sure why. The staff was fabulous, the place was clean and had lovely decor. As I was with a new group, I didn't want to whip out my phone and go full on YELP, so no plate pics, but we all loved our entrees. My prime burger was perfect (thanks for thinly shaving the red onion) and for delivering the advertised brioche bun! I hate when a place says the bun is brioche when it's really a Kaiser roll. #IYKYK. The others had the meatball app (large enough for lunch)c chicken Caesar, Caesar with shrimp, & fish tacos. There was a brunch menu as well and it's a nice place for families or singles at the bar. If you haven't been, GO! read more

Service was good, food was pretty good. The pizzas were flavorful but everything else was lack luster. They do have plenty of seating available for larger parties. They have bar seating available as well. Got a few different pizzas, pasta dishes, and appetizers. For a party of 9 they were able to accommodate us last minute, didn't seem to be too busy at that time otherwise Lighting and decor a bit dark and outdated read more

A mid sized restaurant tucked into a plaza. Quite the eclectic crowd of people. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Our table allowed us to watch the busy kitchen crank out the meals. We loved seeing the various food that they offer coming out. They have a very good size drink menu, with signature cocktails and good selection of drafts. Wife went with a Cobb salad with chicken. A really good looking salad with a nice size piece of chicken on top. I had the Asian Shrimp. They were not overly battered, a plus, and had a good flavor. The veggies were crisp and fresh as well. We would not hesitate to come again read more

First time visiting for brunch and it was excellent! Had the braised beef hash and truffle fries. Fries were incredible! So fluffy inside... not sure how they do that. The food was fresh and our server was really attentive but gave us space to catch up and chat without feeling rushed. The Bloody Mary's are delish too! Recommend a visit for brunch! read more

We have enjoyed many dishes here from the short ribs, French dip, pizza, salads, burger, chicken & fish sandwiches... The food is always fresh and delicious! We have only gotten takeout and plan to dine in at the restaurant at some point. It seems like a great place to enjoy your favorite comfort foods. We very much appreciate the quality! read more

Sweet potato bacon pizza was amazing! Caramelized onions gave it a sweet taste while the bacon and balsamic glaze were a perfect combination. read more

Excellent service and food! A really nice spot with great atmosphere! I would definitely go back.

This spot was a great find on a Friday night. It wasn't overly crowded, and we were seated immediately. Situated in a shopping plaza, this place feels out of place, as if it should be in a stand alone building or as part of a grander area. But that's what plays into its charm. It's unexpected and elyet welcomed. The lighting is soft and the music just right. it's classy yet not overdone. The menu isn't 5 pages long, which is a bonus. Fewer choices makes for better quality. A handful of selections per category is enough to make me want to go back and try something new. We split the beef roast which was succulent and outh watering, with a side of well seasoned mashed potatoes and well poached broccoli. A mixed drink for her and a new beer for me capped off a wonderful evening. read more

We live in the area and were a little apprehensive in trying Krave as we had a bad experience with the prior owners. We ordered take out and the food and service were excellent. The interior of the restaurant looked nice and we will definitely return again. read more

Slow service for someone who wants a quick bite. As well as poor management skills with children unsupervised in the next booth. For something named as Krave. I thought it would a bit more quicker. read more

Great vibes, drinks and food! Fell in love with this place. Came up non business travel and was lucky enough to find Krave. Great people and atmosphere too. I sat at the bar and Nicole was wonderful, as were Claire and John sitting next to me The service by Nicole and the rest of the staff was on point and the food delicious. I enjoyed the Ricotta Bruschetta followed by the Asian Beef Tacos. Wow! Great taste and well crafted. I will be back come January. Thanks. read more

We had a group of 8 of us that came in last night. Food looked amazing so we wanted to give it a try. We got seated and our server took a bit to get to us. We ordered some drinks and waited and waited. The martinis we ordered had blue cheese stuffed olives. They were bad, tasted really sour. So we had to order a few glasses of wine instead She finally came back and took our food order. I ordered a app and food. The app never came out first. Came out with the meal. They were ice cold. I ordered the Asian street tacos.. again ice cold. The rest of the food was just ok. My wife did like her tofu poke bowl, but our friend didn't have more than 1 bite of her salmon. Just disappointing. I never got a refill on my water. We were a party of 8 and there was just no attention. read more

Fantastic dining experience. This place is 5/5 awesome. The food is fresh and arrives in a timely manner. The staff is accommodating and attentive. They make the best shrimp tacos I've ever had! Highly recommend giving this spot a try! read more

A delicious dinner spot. Service was relatively fast and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Appetizers for the table: - Crispy Brussels - Breaded Fresh Mozzarella - Homemade Potato Chips For the main course, I ordered the Slow Roasted Short Rib and was very tender. Mash potatoes were also flavorful! As for dessert, we shared the Kravn donuts. Warm and fluffy served with caramel and chocolate sauce. read more

Looked for a place for a late dinner. This place was really good. The atmosphere feels like from an older time than what you think you'd find in a strip mall...really liked it. I decided on fish tacos...a little surprised to see whole white fish instead of smaller piece but it was very good! The cabbage was very finely sliced with a very nice aioli and tomatoes. All our food was great, the mozzarella balls were really good. Waitress was knowledge, helpful, and did a great job stopping back by several time to make sure we didn't need anything. read more

We arrived about five o'clock on a Sunday evening and had no trouble getting a table, but when we left ninety minutes later it was starting to get quite crowded. We ordered the warm potato chips with French onion dip while we checked the menu. They offer about eight appetizers, half a dozen salads, tacos, another half-dozen or so individual pizzas, several Italian specialties and about a dozen "Chef's Specialties" which ranged from steak tips to stuffed acorn squash. They also had four Asian bowls, plus burgers and a few other sandwiches. The $ 27 braised beef was delicious; my wife raved about the $20 chicken florentine. Unlike the beef, her dinner came with a dinner roll. The wine list was adequate if not extensive, and the prices were pretty much in line. Every person we encountered went out of their way to be friendly. Server Alexie was nothing short of terrific. All told, it was a very pleasant dining experience. We will definitely go back. read more

Came here after a hike along the Middlesex so I was pretty darn hungry. After looking at the menu there was a lot of things I wanted to try, but I have been eating so bad lately like I was on vacation that I ordered a salad. Now this salad was an odd choice, but had to try it. It had a honey mustard dressing, which I love, and angle hair pasta in it which to me was very odd. I first took a bite of the chicken which was sweet spicy buffalo flavored and it was delicious! Then took a bite of the salad and could not stop eating it, 5/5 for this odd yet super delicious creation! I'm a huge fan of a skillet cookie with ice cream, so when I saw it on the menu, I had to have it. Second best skillet cookie I have ever had! You must order it before leaving! I will be coming back soon to try other things on the menu. read more

I hosted my husband's retirement party at Krave today for brunch. All 21 attendees said that they enjoyed their meals. Ari, the manager, and Nicole, our waitress, were amazing and helped me organize the party. We were seated in the back room behind a curtain and everyone got to order what they wanted off the brunch menu; which was awesome because some had special dietary needs. I cannot say enough great things about Krave and the staff. We had a wonderful party and I thank everyone, especially Ari and Nicole, at Krave for making it a special day for us! read more

Went for brunch with friends and it was awesome. They have a brunch menu which includes a mimosa. Say less! I got the brunch burger and it was amazing. Not too busy which I loved since I didn't make a reservation. read more

Great food! My wrap was perfect. Fries were delicious, and the Caesar salad was very good!

I think it's extremely rude to start vacuuming when patrons are still eating & it's not closing time. Will think twice about coming to a place with such disrespect. read more

We had dinner at Krave Kitchen & Bar in Woburn for the first time, believe me, it's not the last time. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs. He said the good size meatballs were some of the best he's had in a very long time. Their sauce was great. I had spaghetti in a white clam sauce. It was delicious but I must be honest, I absolutely loved the spaghetti sauce so my husband and I traded dinners. They bring you amazing fresh baked rolls. I could have made a meal of just them, they were so yummy. For dessert (we had to bring half our pasta home in order to leave room for dessert because you get a lot for your buck.) I had the tornado chocolate cake topped with fresh strawberries, whip cream with a chocolate drizzle. If you not a big-time chocolate lover, like I am, do not order this. A really good size of 4 layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting topped with chocolate ganash. Sooo good, had to take half of that home too. Hubby had N.Y. cheesecake with fresh strawberries, whip cream and a butterscotch drizzle, mmmm mmmm! There was no wait, the atmosphere is very nice and the service was awesome. We can't wait to go back and try brunch. But to rate this place, 0-10, it's a 12. The prices were cheaper than most nice restaurants nowadays. read more

Nice place. Friendly people. Good ambience. Pretty good service. Word of advice: do NOT order the Asian beef taco. It's horrible. Stringy, tough beef. Zero flavor. Reminded me of the pot roast my mother used to cook when we were poor. Inedible. Also, the Caesar salad was nothing to write home about. Boring. Otherwise, nice place. read more

The food I got was good enough. The spaghetti and meatballs tasted like Sbarro mall food. The menu says "fresh spaghetti" which I interpreted as meaning homemade but it didn't have either the taste or texture of fresh pasta. Maybe they mean freshly boiled? They advertise the meatballs as Fontanini brand which is a Hormel commercial food service brand. That, coupled with the bland/unremarkable sauce is why the flavors hearken back to a mall food court. The pork gyoza are fine- they served with the wrong kind of sauce though. The space is cool. Its a decent enough place if at the plaza or in the area. I will probably try Krave again if in the area but order something different.... Maybe try the drinks ... expectations not too high though. read more

Looking for a nice casual lunch and stumbled upon Krave! It honestly wasn't bad! We started with the truffle fries and Crispy Cauliflower. The Cauliflower was actually really good! Fried nicely and had some great kick to it highly recommend. The truffle fries was the opposite though. They didn't really have a truffle taste and the fries tasted like they had been cooked in old oil which was a bit disappointing. Then moved onto the Krave burger. It was honestly just an average burger nothing special really! The taste was something you would make at home and the actual patty was very thick and cooked well! Overall and a decent place for a quick bite. read more

We went in the late afternoon early evening on Saturday. There was a handful of customer and many waitstaff. I ordered a hamburger and my friend just ordered a side of fries. Twenty minutes later the waiter told me the kitchen lost the slip for the hamburger but he brought us the side of fries. He said they were preparing the hamburger now. Ten minutes later the waiter stopped by to confirm I had ordered a hamburger. Ten minutes after that we left. The waiter comped the side of fries and my soda. read more

A great restaurant with really great people. The food is excellent, you can find the usual things you want like a burger and fries but there are always also new things to try like a variety of tapas. In addition to that though, after meeting my best friend here for brunch on weekend my car batter died in the parking lot (a huge parking lot that also serves a big CVS, Whole Foods etc.) and the manager came out, got his own jumper cables and jumped my car. My best friend and I both didn't have cables so she went in to ask if anyone had a set and not only did he offer his, but he did all of the jumping himself- so so kind. You really don't find service like that often anymore. At most they might offer you a phone to call someone. Thank you! read more

It was OK. Definitely a bar. Pizzas are a great value for their price. Like everywhere else they are understaffed. Fairly certain the bar tender was also the only waiter in the joint. It was around 4 on a Sunday so maybe that's just what mid shift looks like. I would stop back for a quick bite or drink knowing it's just basic, no thrills. read more

Love this place. My go to is the blackened salmon Cesar salad it's delicious and never gets old! read more

Use to come to this place for a late lunch or an early dinner after a long hard day at Fed Ex, driving all day. The ambiance and the way the place looked cool when I used to go here after Work. But now it's just okay but the food was not okay. They gave me onion rings when I wanted fries when I asked for fries it was because I'm allergic to onions. My friend's food was undercooked at best and there were flys, and fruit flies in plain view, and the bathroom was wet and sticky, I had to wash my hands twice after leaving, and there were basically no waiters when we went last week, and now I'm starting to remember why I stopped coming here. read more

Buffalo cauliflower and blackened chicken tacos/dinner with spicy rice are both fantastic. Highly recommend giving them a try! Bonus....Tuesday to Friday nights from 4 to 6, some apps are half off! read more
