The food was incredible, I ordered the patty melt and Parmesan garlic fries, guys were fast and informative as well as polite, they also had Pink Floyd playing on the speakers, not just any song you'd hear on the radio. Place was clean and well maintained too. read more

The food is great every time I go, but the service could be better it feels like they don't want to serve certain people unless they know them personally, other then that the restaurant is very clean read more

Came here on a Wednesday for lunch to try for the first time. I had passed by this place several times and have always wanted to eat here. I'm not a huge burger person, but I will say that cheeseburger was very delicious. I just got the single cheeseburger and my son got a pimento bacon cheese cheeseburger with fries. The french fries were OK. There was quite a few people there during the lunch, rush. I will definitely be back again. I did like that they had tables outside as well. You order at the counter and then they bring you your food. read more

I decided to try something new today for Friday dinner. I heard about this restaurant on Yelp, and other Yelpers said it was recommended. They were SO right! This restaurant is at the corner of Valleydale Road and Caldwell Mill Road, a few spots down from Publix. It is a really cute place. When you walk in, the grill is right there. I was greeted immediately, even though they were working hard. I was asked if I was the online order, and they had it ready for me, front and center. I ordered the build your own burger (with pimento cheese, bacon, lettuce, onion, mustard, and BBQ sauce with the seasoned tots. I got the Chicken Philly and side salad for my husband. Then I ordered two Caesar salads for Saturday's dinner. They look so good! I got home and fixed plates. My husband was not scheduled to come home today from his conference, but he is coming home tonight. I tasted his sandwich and it was flavorful. I think he will really enjoy it. My burger and tots were amazing! The burger fell apart while I was eating it because I had a lot of toppings on it. Each bite was delicious and I totally cleaned my plate. The tots were tasty also. I stand with the other Yelpers and recommend that you try this place. read more

Food was great, but the young taking your order is rude. He didn't want to be there, much less take our order. Not only was he rude to my husband and I, but he was rude to the group of young adults sitting beside us. His tip needs to be, be kind to your customers. We love the 280 location and have always had great customer service and food. read more

This casual cooked order hamburger joint has a good vibe, perfect for hamburger dining. It lacked signage to show where to place your order. I ordered their signature, the Craft Burger to go. It comes with not one but two slices of American cheddar cheese, sliced red onions, pickle, and their special Craft sauce. Fortunately, they wrapped the hamburger in waxed paper, making it easy to eat while driving. The meat was delicious, perfectly cooked, and slightly smashed. Overall, I deducted stars because the burger was too salty. Also, the Craft sauce was not remarkable. Next visit, I'll order mine with mustard and ketchup and ask the cook to apply a low amount of salt. The burger certainly satisfied my hamburger craving for the day as well as my appetite! read more

We just tried this place for the first time and the burgers are DELICIOUS! They are perfectly cooked and not too greasy. We split a side of seasoned fries and they were also really good. The craft sauce is a must try too. The service was fast and friendly. They offer high top and regular seating inside, and outside has uncovered seating as well. read more

I hadn't been in here before but now I can see this is definitely a place to be coming to regularly. I always want the service to be great if possible and then I want the food to be great next. The servers here were all great. The group was all moving and working constantly bc this place was already busy at 6pm on a Friday night. They were all great servers and the food was seriously delicious. I had the main burger and the seasoned fries and I would have eaten that exact order twice. Supper yummy. Cool little place to sit with others or even alone. Nice vibe in here. read more

Food is very good. However they are very stingy on their sides. They gave me about 7 Tater tots like I was some toddler. With that price they need a bigger side portion. read more

The food is always amazing but this evening I went with my family and the young guy taking our order was super rude and unpleasant. He didn't greet us when we walked in, I even said hi but no response. He acted annoyed that he even had to help us. It was super uncomfortable and he needs to really be coached on customer service. It was bad read more

Great burgers and loaded fries to die for. Brownie was excellent too. Wish they had one near me, I'd go often!! Staff was friendly and attentive! Keep up great service and great food. read more

Whether in person or takeout, Craft Burger offers a variety of tasty burgers and fries or crispy tater tots (with parmesan rosemary seasoning - yummy!) that will make you want to come back for more! It's hard for burgers and fries to travel well, but theirs somehow do better than most. Love local restaurants that do it well consistently as Craft Burger has for several years. We're glad they just opened a new location on Hwy 280/Greystone to make them even more accessible! read more

Quite possibly one of the BEST cheeseburgers in Alabama! Do not sleep on this one folks. Yes, it's quietly tucked into a strip mall in the suburbs just around the corner from Publix, but that does not in ANY WAY diminish what they're doing here. The Craft Burger is two perfectly crispy smashburger patties with grilled onions, melty American cheese, and Craft Sauce. I could literally eat Craft Sauce with a spoon! (Get extra, because you'll want to dip ALL THE THINGS in this stuff!) I love their seasoned fries and seasoned tots, but they also make these absolutely incredible chips in-house that may be my favorite chips ever. We often will order extra sides just because we can't decide what we're in the mood for. read more

Ordered a to-go burger, chilidog, & seasoned fries. Opened bag at home & had no fries. Plus the lettuce was old (yellow). Tried to call but they wouldn't answer. Good food but poor service & inability to contact overshadows everything. read more

First things first. Burgers and dogs are fantastic. The seasoned fries are delicious as well but $7 plus for a slider like cheeseburger? Great place for a $50 lunch. Outdoor seating, also right next to the ABC store so thats convenient. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Just either wish the prices were a little lower, or portions were larger. All in All as solid 4 And based on the owners comment below, I won't be back. read more

Really enjoyed checking out the Craft Burger- it's a down to earth place that cooks great burgers of all varieties. With options for singles or doubles, you don't have to break the budget to get a good meal, and their season fries were to die for. Their signature craft sauce is very yum-yum sauce in its look and flavor- very sweet, but it grows on you. Will be visiting again soon! read more

==== Hwy 280 location ==== Where should I begin?? Well , Wifey and I were famished and wanted something quick but did not want the oh so regular choices. So we hit Hwy 280 to begin the search and right out the gate we see The Craft Burger. Now , we have heard rave reviews from our friends and we see The Craft Burger all the time just never thought to try. Well WE DID! Upon entering we noticed a very clean establishment nearly 100% on the heath score a major plus. Then , there is Sal the Mgr. that took our order he was EXTREMELY patient and helpful this being our first time there. While we were trying to decide Sal introduced us to the owner who is on site. Nice gentleman Barry is his name. Explained how his company began I must say we were impressed. So, I had the Craft Burger and my wife had the Carolina Dog!!! Whew! what a treat I mean everything was perfect NOTHING WAS OVER SEASONED the tots were crispy and my burger was pure perfection..! Now it may look small but it is filling it packs a man's punch. My wife's Dog was sooo delicious she said I don't mind spending $40.00 here!! The Craft Burger is a must try you will not be disappointed unless you just want to be. The sweet tea was juuust right it was actually tea and not syrup. Oh I almost forgot the brownies OMG!!! Made in-house fresh and moist wow! So if you're in the mood for a burger or hotdog or a sandwich even ,they have those too! Stop on by The Craft Burger it's definitely worth a try. Sal! you definitely made our experience superb!! Your personality and genuineness are an asset to The Craft Burger!!! Thank you Sir. read more

Our burgers were delicious! Can't believe I've lived so close for years and never been there. Our family of 4 went for dinner and everyone loved their burgers. Service was fast read more

Craft Burger has the juiciest burgers! You will need at 2 napkins when you get one. Their fries are great too. Orders are filled quickly.

We just ate there for the first time and it was both awesome and reasonably priced. The slaw burger was a six on a five scale. I intend to work my way through the entire menu which includes a Philly cheese steak, Cuban and muffaletta hot dog. read more

Phenomenal burgers, fast service, nice selection of beer. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Dogs are welcome outdoors, as one patron had theirs there with him. The seasoned fries and Craft sauce is to die for, whatever it is. I don't even know, but I wish I had the recipe to make at home since I can't drive 3.5 hours to get some whenever I have the craving for them. I can't wait for a reason to be in Birmingham again, just to come here to eat. 10/10, would recommend. read more

If your anywhere near here, and you like hamburgers, your a fool if you don't come by this place. I recommend the single cheeseburger all the way (lettuce, onion, tomato) and add bacon. That's a true Cheeseburger in Paradise. I get the regular fry's. The owner Barry is usually around. So yourself a favor and get a real hamburger for a change. read more

We love the craft burger! Consistently good food and their sauce is amazing. One of the best burgers in town

Burgers are always great, as are the sides. Just a great burger joint. Calling in an order can be very frustrating. More than once have tried calling for the phone not to be answered, then walk in to an average crowd and cashier saying phone hasn't rung. Just go and eat in. read more

Yummy burgers! Do I need to say more? Adding an order or two or three or more of their delicious seasoned fries are a must!

Really loved to eat both the hotdogs and hamburgers, but the last time I went it seems that something has changed with the hotdogs. The weiners on the hotdogs seem to be a cheaper version and the chili wasn't near as good. I was very disappointed this time. Wasn't bad, but not the best anymore! Not worth passing up the other hotdog joints anymore to go there! read more

We heard about Craft Burger after their win the the Birmingham Burger Battle. We go try out the winning burger each year. And this burger does NOT disappoint! We got the classic cheese burger, a single and double. I added bacon to mine. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. All the flavors are nicely balanced. Our sides were French fries and tots. The seasoning on the fries is a huge win! It's Rosemary, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese!!! They will add the seasoning to the tots as well. The most surprising moment was we also ordered the muffuletta hot dog. It's a 10/10 all day long. It's everything a muffuletta sandwich wants to be. The service was quick and everyone was very kind. We will be making it a regular stop. read more

Service was okay. I really felt the burger was just okay to me. I wasn't super impressed. Restaurant is very small and there is no service once you sit down unless you get up for it. It's a counter service. Tables still should be cleaned though. read more

Wow! My first trip to Craft Burger today. I have been missing something. Best. Burger. In. Town. The meat was obviously fresh ground and cooked with just the right amount of char. Fresh tomatoes and lettuce. A great soft bun. Hot off the grill. I shared some tatter tots and seasoned fries with my wife. I love tater tots and the dipping sauce for the fries was excellent. We went at lunch time and it was a bit crowded and a bit noisy, but not unacceptable so. Kudos to whoever selected the music playlist which played softly in the background. Looking forward to going back. Want to try something other than the cheese burger, but it's just so good, it's going to be hard to order anything else. read more

Had the craft burger with bacon and tots for the side. Everything was great. I will definitely be back.

I wish I could give 4.5-4.7stars. It's a good spot, with good food, and good prices. Burgers, homemade style chips, salads... all very good. Staff is friendly, quick and attentive. Small selection of cold beer. Slight ding for cleanliness but whatever, good diner style spots are rarely that clean. Will definitely be back. read more

Really good burger. No GF options though. Seasoned fries are rosemary and so good!!!!

I had extra time after leaving the UPS and decided to grab lunch - so glad I did! This was my first time visiting and I look forward to returning. I got The Cheeseburger and the name speaks volume, it's THE Cheeseburger. It may look small but it's big on flavor, served fresh from the grill. The seasoned fries and special sauce was also a great combo to complement the burger. The service also was nice and I surely will be back! read more

Don't waste your time with this place. I came here with some friends thinking that it would be a good local burger joint. I can't even begin to describe how disappointed I was. The burger was tiny, expensive, and there didn't even seem to be semblance of effort into making this burger even slightly special. Both the friends I came here with shared my utter disappointment. Save time and money by crafting your own burger or letting McDonald's or Burger King craft you one of theirs. read more

May be my new favorite place. Very small and simple food but with great flavor with no fancy ingredients. Loved this place!! Shakes, burgers, Cuban sandwich, hot dogs in small shop located next to publix. Plays great music!! Old depression era pics. Craft dog craft burger everything is great here. Today had turkey burgers and pulled pork option. Update still one of favorite places with reasonable prices, great fresh food, burgers, hotdogs, fries, hot fresh made pork rinds, Cuban sandwich nothing bad on menu. Craft dog covered in homemade pimento cheese my favorite!! Come try this place EAT LOCAL read more

I have literally never written a review of anything online before but this was by far the best burger I've ever had in my life and I immediately felt compelled to share this. Hands down the best burger in the state of Alabama and such a hidden gem. Great quality and quantity. Seasoned fries a woman's dream. Unless you live close you probably shouldn't come here because you'll think about it every week and would be let down if you can't come regularly. Only issue is the sprite drink fountain only ever comes out as club soda but we let it go because of how good the food is. read more
