    Smoked wings
    Michelle M.

    Came back out to Dana Point from the San Fernando Valley and had to stop by Station Craft again. Sat at the bar and Matt helped me out. It's been a year since I've been here and he remembered my name! If that's not the ultimate customer service, idk what is. I tried the spicy chicken sandwich and omg it's delicious! Idk what they do, but this is by far the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! I took Matt's recommendation and tried the wings and so happy I did! They don't even need the dipping sauces because the dry rub has such a great flavor! Thank you Station Craft for an epic meal and thank you Matt for the great service!

    Spicy chicken sando
    Maribel T.

    INCREDIBLE FOOD! Omg these dry rub wings were FIRE!! Idk what combo of seasoning they used but... I'll be back for more!! Make sure to order the Carolina bbq sauce on the side! BOMB!! Spicy chicken sando was so crispy and juicy! ALSOOO ORDER your sweet potato waffle fries EXTRA CRISPY!:D the bartender was awesome! Made the best Mezcal blackberry drink!! The open garage door concept here is perfect for the beautiful weather days! Def consider this place for the food vibes and drinks! They make everything in House!:)

    Fried pickles
    Megan F.

    Consistently great place. Started with the fried pickles, which were excellent- salty and crunchy and not at all soggy, and the Ruby Lantern- well balanced! For lunch, the Smoked Brisket Sliders were great. Wish the sauce that more horseradish as it was a little bland. Still tasty though. The service was great- attentive but they don't shoo you out the door. The patio is dog friendly, which is nice too. Friendly and easy going vibe. Will definitely return again as this place never disappoints.

    Sliders and potatoe salad
    Renee T.

    Amazing! First time visiting on a beautiful California day, perfect weather... restaurant sits in Dana Point, the layout of wonderful and great ambience. We tried the fried pickles with beer cheese and ranch, killer! The food was amazing! I had an aperol spritz, amazing .... Our waiter was so kind as well! Will for sure come back and thank you for offering veterans discounts!!! ‍‍

    Chilaquiles with brisket
    Nancy E.

    Cute place, plenty of large tables for large groups. There's a large screen tv and a few smaller TVs for Sunday football. I didn't care for their bloody Mary's but their chilaquiles with brisket was sooo good. Their beans are full of flavor too!! Bloody Mary was very thick and we even had to order an extra shot of vodka' Staff was friendly and took great care of us!

    My favorite... the Waverider!! So good!!

    I decided to try this restaurant tonight because every time I drive by I see a very large TV inside and since tonight was the opening game of the 2025 NFL season my friend and I decided to have dinner here. When we arrived, the restaurant was about 25% full but within the first quarter of the game, the restaurant was packed! If you're coming for dinner a reservation would be good and you should know that parking is very limited so plan for extra parking time. The interiors are very open and comfortable, especially their dining chairs! I love how light and bright it is in here giving the perfect SoCal experience of indoor/outdoor dining. It definitely seems like a very fun gathering place for locals and visitors alike... and I love that they have the big brewing barrels in plain sight! However, because of all the hard surfaces, it is a very loud restaurant when it's full! Because we got here so early tonight we were seated right away and our server came over quickly to get our drink order. As for the food, I would say it's elevated bar food with some very tasty sounding dishes like Sesame Salmon w/ Toasted Farro that I will definitely be back to try! I also like some of the fun appetizers like the giant Bavarian Pretzel, Fried Pickles and Crispy Cauliflower. Tonight I tried the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Mac and Cheese as my side dish which was good, but for me the sandwich was a little too wet with both coleslaw and dressing on it. My craft cocktail... the Wave Rider, is one of my absolute favorites! It is one of the most delicious drink I have ever had. So for sure I shall return even if only for a cocktail! One thing that I would love to see this restaurant add is the pizzas that they have at their San Clemente location. For me, the San Clemente location has the best pizza ever!! if you're interested in trying the San Clemente location please note that it is a very small restaurant with some patio seating and limited menu. However, they have a fair amount of parking! The menu is basically small appetizers a few salads but the best pizzas and if I remember right, they only have beer and wine where the Dana Point location has a full bar.

    Wings
    Danielle M.

    We went here for dinner and it ended up being happy hour! They had great happy hour food and drink specials. We got the Brisket Scotch Egg and it was loaded with tender brisket and sauce. The cocktails were delicious! The Summer Solstice was the perfect fruity, summery drink and you can't go wrong with their whiskey sour! We got the happy hour wings and they were perfectly seasoned with a dry rub. The ranch and hot sauce paired perfectly with the wings! Service was quick even though the restaurant was packed with customers. It's the perfect spot to have a beer or bring your family for dinner!

    Brussels, burgers, and calamari
    Melissa L.

    Delicious restaurant right off of PCH in Dana point. Dog friendly vibes, it seemed like almost half the guests brought their fur babies. The food came out rather quickly and service was 100%. We ordered, Brussels sprouts, calamari, and different burgers. Everything was delicious! After eating a filling meal, you can walk around Dana Point and enjoy the breathtaking ocean views!

    Pretzel Garlic parm fries Stout Sour Hazy
    Jade S.

    We came on thanksgiving to watch some football and have some drinks/snacks. The staff was nice and took care of us. The drinks were all delicious. The pretzel was good but the cheese sauce was a little funky. I ended up just using mustard instead. The garlic fries were a great snack with perfect crispiness and they didn't skimp out on the garlic! They had the football game on all the tvs and 1 project on the wall but the proportions were off. Otherwise everything was great! Would definitely come back

    Brussel sprouts
    Mitchel C.

    This place was underwhelming, I think it would've been better to just get beers and watch the game here but we decided to do dinner. Our server wasn't really attentive after getting drinks for us, only saw them at the beginning and end of service. Steak wasn't that flavorful, but the Brussel sprouts were fantastic. Would come back just for those! Overall this is more of a sports bar/brewery vibe and I think if I come back I would try the wings or nachos, as those looked really good.

    I came to Station Craft for the first time in hopes of catching the Pacers game and getting some dessert and they did not disappoint. I was extremely impressed by how large this place is. They have a huge indoor space with so many TVs, including a HUGE on toward the back. They also have a great patio with TVs as well. It was seriously the perfect spot to catch a game. I really liked seeing that in addition to their house brewed beers, they also offer cocktails and mocktails! While their dessert menu only offers 3 items, I am seriously craving the cheesecake right now as I type this. It was melt in your mouth deliciousness! It said 'chefs choice of topping' and the chef did an A+ job. I'm not sure if it was caramel or butterscotch, but it was also paired with pistachio and I can't even begin to explain how the flavors worked together so well. The food looks amazing too, so I'm really excited to come back and try more of their items. I also heard they have trivia nights too and I think that could be super fun as well.

    Marinated Flat Iron Sliders (with Fries), $18
    Elle C.

    Impressively fun-&-friendly, attentive, and professional staff from start to finish for our group of 6 (which included 2 toddlers). I like the open-&-airy space and the casual yet energetic vibe. I enjoyed their Smoked Brisket French Dip Sliders (with Spicy & Sweet Potato Fries), $18; hubby reported that their Marinated Flat Iron Sliders (with Fries), $18, was OK. We appreciate that they offer not just beers but spirit cocktails, too! Fun experience!

    Cod fish tacos
    Laura P.

    This place was busyyy on a Saturday night but we thankfully got a table quickly on the patio. The servers were not rude but not overly nice, just really did the minimum. It was a great atmosphere to watch sports and have some drinks. The beer was good but the cocktail did not have much flavor (tasted kind of watered down) especially being $16. The food was also mid, like normal bar food, really nothing special though.

    When I was telling a friend about this place, I pulled up my handy dandy Yelp and was surprised…read morethat I hadn't written a review about this place yet! We spent a few nights in Dana Point and was really close to this restaurant. We got it to go and ate it back at our hotel, but wow, the pizza was memorable for sure. We got the vampire and the original and they both were great choices. Definitely a great spot for pizza in Dana point!

    As someone who knows what actual New Haven pizza should be (think Sally's Apizza), Apizza Doho…read moremisses the mark completely. The dough was nothing like the authentic thin-crust style; instead, it was thick, burnt, and strangely covered in butter. The Margherita sauce was essentially tomato sauce and lacked balance. The Clam Pizza was the biggest disappointment--it was buried under so much cheese and garlic that you couldn't even taste the clams. It was so greasy that oil was running down our hands, tasting more like a heavy, cheesy garlic bread with overpowering chunks of raw garlic than a refined white clam pie. To round it out, the zucchini chips were flavorless and mostly just fried breading. The only silver lining was the calamari, the cherry peppers were a nice touch and it genuinely reminded me of Rhode Island-style calamari. That said, I definitely won't be back for the pizza and do not recommend this place if you're looking for New Haven style pizza

The only downside was it was a bit loud when cars passed by. Restaurant is beautiful, love the vibe. Our server Sean C. was very pleasant and attentive. I had the avocado tartine with tots on the side, everything was fresh and tasty. Hubbs had the smash burger which he devoured quickly. For drinks i only got a decaf, wish they had matcha - it would've been a perfect meal for me.

    I want to start this review off by saying THANK YOU to Blake, Kelly and all the Craft House staff…read morethat had a hand in our wedding reception!! It was truly such a beautiful night that went off without a hitch. Because of YOU GUYS. Beginning of Planning: My husband and I were on the hunt for the perfect "alternative" space to a traditional wedding venue due to time constraints of planning a wedding in 4 months and also budgetary constraints (not willing to sell our souls for a 40k wedding in South OC). I came across Craft House on Yelp (another beautiful couple held their wedding there) and knew the space would be perfect. I emailed for a week or two with Kelly before deciding to see the space in person. Late November/early December we met with Blake to show us the space. We knew it was the place for us when we were explaining to Blake our overall goal we were trying to accomplish: We wanted to throw a nice dinner and dance party for the people we love the most to celebrate the love we share. And we wanted to do it our way. Blake's response: We can do it all. No constraints. Basically no "rules", do it your way. We immediately put a hold on the space for our wedding date. December-March: Kelly was the perfect person to connect with and kindly answered all the questions that come along with planning a wedding. She was efficient with answering emails and following up with us (I'm type B, I love a follow up). We went to eat at Craft House a few times during these months and we able to figure out what we loved the best on the menu and each experience was fantastic. 10/10 drinks, food, and service. March: We started finalizing all the little details, food and drink menu, decorations, table arrangements, day of timeline. It was easy, efficient and there was a confidence from both Blake and Kelly that made us feel extremely confident and grateful to have our reception at Craft House. Wedding Week/Day of: Blake kindly allowed us to bring a load of decorations the day before the wedding to help the set up efforts on wedding day. We dropped off boxes of candles with a bartender (possibly a manager) the night before and he was extremely sweet and helpful by carrying boxes inside for us. The day of the wedding, our DJ and friend who was helping with set up were able to go in a few hours before. When we walked into the reception for the first time, we were blown away! I was in true awe at the space. It was exactly how we envisioned. The beautiful wood interior and 3/4 walls of windows with plants inside and outside made it feel like we were in a green house. I was met with a drink in my hand immediately from the bartenders and I was never without a drink (they would find me every time my drink was empty and give me a new one... THAT'S TOP TIER SERVICE). We ate, we drank and we partied with the people we love the most, exactly how we wanted. Things you should know: Particulars- We had about 90 guests, 4 vendor meals and had the private space from 12 PM (set up time) to 10:30PM. Price- THE BEST DEAL YOU CAN GET. Rental for the space, food and open bar(!!!) all bundled into a great price. Best bang for your buck. Price included gratuity and a small percentage for service fee. UNBEATABLE. Service- As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for many years (and close friends who are bartenders and servers)... we all agreed that the service was top tier. One of the biggest stand outs for me was the smiles on all of their faces during our reception. There is nothing better than seeing employees genuinely smile while they are working. It really makes the whole atmosphere a million times better. Some videos that we got at the end of the night, you can see the bartenders dancing while serving guests, it made my heart happy to know that there was some enjoyment while working their butts off for us. Thank you all so much!! We enjoyed ourselves and so did all of our guests. The next day people were stunned that we had been at a restaurant and not a wedding venue. This review is well deserved. *Pictures to come!
