I absolutely loved it. I think they did a really good job with the drinks they were really good. I tried a bit of one of the drinks from the dagger room's menu and it was fantastic.

I came here with two friends who were visiting from out of town, and we had such a good time! We…read moresat at the bar, and the atmosphere was really fun with great vibes all around. The service was great too, and everyone took good care of us. I ordered a Blue Hawaiian, and we shared the lobster dip. The dip was okay--it was a little too cream cheese-heavy for me, and I would've loved a stronger lobster flavor, but it was still worth trying. One of the highlights was the Roll the Dice challenge on the menu! Definitely recommend giving it a try if you're feeling lucky. Hopefully you have better luck than I did Overall, we had a really fun night and it was a great spot to bring friends who were visiting!

The bar tender made some very tasty drinks and took time to talk about the cocktails. The pizza was so good! The butter crust and GF crusts were the best. The owner came out and explained how they made their Italian beef. I think they put a whole block of mozzarella on a pizza. Would highly recommend!!

We went to Crave last night to celebrate my daughter's birthday. When we were seated, I let our…read moreserver know it was a special occasion. She immediately told us the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes (we arrived at 7:19 and they close at 8), which already made the experience feel a bit rushed. We ordered a deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza, a Caesar salad, fries, and water. The salad and fries came out quickly and were good, but we waited until 7:52 for the pizza. During that time, several staff members including what seemed to be a manager, were loudly yelling back and forth across the restaurant about staffing and schedules. With no music or TV volume, it was impossible not to hear, and it felt very unprofessional. Meanwhile, our water glasses sat empty. I had to ask three separate times for refills, and the third time I actually had to get up and find our server at the bar, where she was sitting, still discussing the schedule. When the pizza finally arrived, it was delicious. But basic things like Parmesan and pepper weren't offered. I had to flag someone down to ask. And even though we'd just received our food, the lights on the patio were turned off while we were eating, and we were brought a box very quickly, which felt like a not-so-subtle hint to leave. Overall, the food was good, but the customer service and atmosphere really took away from what should have been a nice birthday dinner for my daughter. Very disappointing experience.

This restaurant is legitimately fantastic and deserves to be discovered by more people. My husband and I went on a Friday night, and the place was absolutely poppin with a great, lively atmosphere. We split the Ammo Burger with onion rings and the Philly cheesesteak (we added jalapeños, of course!) with fries. Everything was phenomenal. The burger was delicious, the Philly cheesesteak was fantastic, and the fries deserve their own shout-out. They're cooked in beef tallow, and the crisp on them was absolutely perfect. The onion rings were also delicious! They had an amazing beer special while we were there, buy one, get one for $1, which I believe may have been a Labor Day special, so definitely check before you go. But we were more than happy to take advantage of it! One thing I really loved was seeing the chef come out and make his way around the restaurant to say hello and check in with everyone. That always creates such a welcoming, personal vibe and says a lot about a place. Seriously, if you haven't discovered Smoke & Grain yet, put it on your list. Great food, great atmosphere, cold beer, and an all-around fun night out. We will definitely be back!

I love that it comes with cheddar & pepper jack cheese I asked for it to be well done as well, it was crispy yet juicy! I'll def be back to try other options!

The older generation is so "do or die" like ?¿ Does it make you happy, to go try something new with the bold intent of just taking a fatass shit on the place? I'm glad. Sit in your own bs and get back to me. This is a very good bar. They are lively, the younger generation is slowly coming out and not isolating themselves anymore and that's why yall have sooooo much to say worth absolutely nothing, along with so many negative comments. Jealous? I think so (; The food came out FRESH AS SOON AS IT HIT THE COUNTER. THE staff are what make this place so great. They get the vibes. They, themselves have GREAT vibes. And the ambiance? Yo. Just play your games and drink, smile. Don't babysit the pool tables, there's plenty of games to go around. If you don't know proper bar etiquette, I suggest maybe looking that (those) up before coming here but "to each their own" or whatever have you- Have a great time and just be silly and happy. Keep the GOOD VIBES ALIVE !!! (: thank you. Goodbye.

We got seated at the bar and just ordered a few items off the happy hour menu. We ordered the voodoo fried rice, smoked trout dip, and we ordered 16 oysters. The fried rice was great! I love that it was a little spicy. It was a good size of split between the 2 of us. The dip was also pretty good and had a good Smokey flavor. We ordered 16 oysters ($2.50/ea) and got 8 buck & rider, 4 Hama Hama, and 4 Hollywood. They all were really good. I think I liked the buck & rider and Hollywood the most. Service was really quick as we were sitting at the bar so they were pretty attentive. The dishes came out pretty quickly after we ordered. It was a little loud in the restaurant so it was kind of hard to hear each other but that's ok because they were pretty full so that's to be expected.

I have always loved the atmosphere and decor here. We are now regulars here and they have reached…read morethat stage of knowing our names, our habits, and most importantly, how to take care of their regulars. If you establish a presence here, they will take care of you. Consistency is another major selling point. Go here 10 times, and your food is going to be on point about 9.5 of those times. Those are pretty good odds. They have just recently started a soft launch of their fall/winter menu, which means they are experimenting with a few new dishes while bringing back some old favorites. One of those returning favorites is the crispy cauliflower. Last time around, it was fantastic. This time, while still tasty, it had apparently filed a formal complaint against the word "crispy" because there was very little evidence to support the claim. Even the bartender agreed with me that it was somewhat misrepresented. Tip: Get the sauce on the side. It will help preserve what level of crisp that is intended for this dish. Now, let us move on to the star of the evening. The new chicken parmigiana! Holy mother of God. Butter my butt and call me a biscuit. This may genuinely be one of the most beautiful, perfectly textured, and downright delicious chicken parmigianas I have ever had. The chicken was crisped to absolute perfection, and the way they layered the marinara on top was brilliant. Rather than drowning the chicken in a traditional, liquidy sauce, they used more of a bruschetta-style topping, which gave it texture while somehow allowing the breading to remain gloriously crispy. Hands down, one of the best chicken parmigianas I have ever had. Now we just need to pray to whatever culinary deity is responsible for consistency that they can replicate this thing every time, because this one was ridiculously good. One final recommendation: split the dish.Unless you are the kind of person who considers a family-size portion a light snack, there is plenty of food here for two.

But, my wife had fries that I could steal and I appreciate having a salad option. The little side salad had a nice bitterness complemented by the slight sourness of the dressing. The meat was flavorful and sliced perfectly while the bread was toasty enough to stay together long enough to hold in all that juiciness. Our server was attentive and friendly and I'll happily go back to try some menu staples ... unless the next special demands my attention like that Reuben did.

Amy and Lisa provided amazing service and made some realllllly good drinks and shots!! we were surprised when they busted out some karaoke but it definitely kept the vibes going! we all enjoyed the darts and games too so definitely will be back! it wasnt super crazy busy and i think its because the bar itself does need a little improvement, management needs to get together a drink menu, even if its just a few options of what they usually carry and the bathrooms did have a pretty raunchy smell which is also a pretty simple fix. if the owner/managers get together a lil system this place would probably be packed.
