I visited The Craft House when they were still at their old location, but I have to say that the move to the old Third Place Global Eatery has definitely made the experience better. The space is open and bright, there is plenty of greenery still left behind, and I love the little window into the kitchen at the front of the place. The Craft House makes delicious, inventive dishes and drinks. Think Mediterranean chicken tacos and their Manila Sunset mocktail. The food is always fresh, tasty, and perfect for a casual lunch date with friends. Not to mention, Greg and his team are fantastic. They are all super friendly, serve with a smile, and always look out for their customers first.
The Craft House is now in a new location where Third Place used to be. Very nice place with great seating inside or on their patio outside. We went on a Saturday at 11:30 for lunch and they were not very busy. Service was excellent and prompt. Our waitress, Ashley, went out of her way to be friendly and conversational. I ordered a prickly pear cider on their seasonal cider menu, which was excellent. Not too sweet, but just sweet enough. My husband ordered a burger and tots, and I had the dip sandwich, which is like a dipable cheesesteak. The bread for the amount of meat was a bit much. I think this sandwich would be great as a panini, and I am sure they would oblige, as they have a pork panini on their menu. My husband said his burger and tots were good. My husband and I definitely want to come back at night and maybe have drinks and try another cider or beer.
I love this restaurant it's locally owned and operated by a wonderful couple here in clovis. They had a restaurant before across the street where the cooked up daily soups and had local beer on tap now they moved to a bigger location right across the street where they have more seating inside as well as outside seating. Much more spacious for big parties as well. They did stop the daily soups down to one soup all week long but I was told by the owner they don't serve soup during the summer season because it's way too hot outside. They do serve local beer as well as other beer listed on the menu, they serve cocktails too. The menu spans from appetizers to dessert, they have options for everyone including customers who are vegan. I highly recommend coming here where things are fresh, cook to order, and served by great people as well as cooks. If you don't feel like dining inside you can also order takeout, no matter what you pick you'll be happy you choose to eat here. Please keep in mind the menu prices start at around $15 dollars and go up to $25 dollars a plate, it is a more higher priced restaurant but worth every penny.
This place just moved into a new building that has a lot of patio potential. With that in mind, it seemed like they were still getting their bearings straight as they were out of several beers and the service was a little slow, despite the server being super nice. The surf and turf tots and dip it sandwich were excellent! Their fries are also incredible. Didn't love the crispy chicken sandwich as it seemed a little basic, but we will totally be returning to check out other things.
Wow! This restaurant/craft house is fantastic. The ambience is perfect for eating with friends, watching football (high tops and low seating). The patio is clean, inviting with misters. We went a few times prior to them moving from the corner (which now is Pendragon brewery). This spot is so much bigger and inviting. The beer choices have something for everyone and cold. I picked one of the lagers; it had a nice flavor. If you watch football, they have you hooked up in the main are as well as the lounge. First time ordering "the pork belly fries". Sooo much food that was packed full of flavors that had so many flavors that say yum with each bite. Our server, Julie was the best!!!!
Came here on a Thursday night and it wasn't too busy. Service was great, all the staff were very friendly. We ordered wings as an appetizer. Was a little hesitant about the strawberry sriracha sauce it was tossed with but the server assured us we would like it. He was correct, very flavorful and balanced. The strawberry gave it just the right amount of sweet to balance with the heat. For my dinner, I ordered The Dip, which is their take on a beef dip. It was pretty good. The Horseradish Aioli was great, and the Au Jus, while lighter in color than what I'm used to, was just as flavorful. My only "complaint" was the ratio of beef to bread could have been better. It could have used just a little more beef. I also ordered the tots as my side, nice and crunchy. The beer selection had a few selections of IPAs, Lagers and Stouts. Liked that there weren't too many options, as that can get overwhelming. With it not being very packed, it had a good environment. There were a few TVs in the main room, and noise was balanced. My friend and I didn't have to talk over ambient noise, which is always a plus in my book. Just a heads up, there is no signage visible from the street. The building is the former Third Place Global Eatery. I passed by it once as I don't go into Old Town Clovis very often. I look forward to visiting again
The Craft House does it again! If you haven't heard, Third Place Global Eatery is no more and Craft House has completely taken over the entire space, both in ownership and food. The only Third Place remnants left are a few pieces of signage on the building, which will be taken down soon. All of the food served here is 100% the classic Craft House menu along with a few new food items and cocktails. Crow and Wolf is no longer running the outside patio bar, but their craft beers and a handful of other local breweries suds are still being served here. I tried one of their new cocktails which is a take on a Moscow Mule but made with vodka and passion fruit juice. It was delicious! My kids loved their chicken tenders and mac 'n cheese and to be honest, so did my wife and I. Those tenders and creamy mac can get it! I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, with a side salad. The sandwich was amazing and I love the spicy batter they use on their chicken breast. I was honestly shocked at how good my house lemon vinaigrette salad dressing was. It was so good that I even started dipping tater tots in it. Shout out to the amazing servers who work here Kate, Julie, and Kayla! All of our food was delivered fast, fresh, and they truly made sure we felt comfortable. I'm so happy that The Craft House has found a new home in a truly beautiful location. I'm sad that the Third Place came and went, but as they say; when one door closes, another one opens. Cheers!
The food was very tasty! I ordered the fish tacos and I really enjoyed the flavors. It didn't have a fishy taste to it thankfully. I did ask for the corn salsa on the side instead and glad I did. I'm not a jalapeno person. My husband got the Cubano sandwich and was not disappointed. My daughter got the Mac n cheese and liked it as well. Definitely will be coming back during summer to enjoy some drinks.
Lunch time at the craft house made a pit stop over down to Clovis. I usually go there and no issues. There was plenty of parking and seating. I had to wait 2 to 5 minutes to be seated. The food is on point however I had to wait a long duration for my food. The restaurant was clean and plenty of air conditioning for you to enjoy.
Love the customer service the owner Greg always welcome you! The food always good never have a complaint Love the new place too! With live music
What a treat to find a place that checks all the boxes when you are an out of towner The Craft House had an excellent variety of food with an exceptional twist. Thanks to Julie our server that pointed us in a the right direction since it was so hard to choose. Loved the food and service is this super cute spot so don't miss out!
The food here is excellent. Service is top notch. The owners are so friendly and hardworking. I've never had a bad experience and I've been eating here since 2018.
Awesome and welcoming service! Plan for a wait, but it is well worth it, If you haven't been before ask your server what they recommend and you won't be disappointed. We tried the pork belly fries to start and loved them! With lots of CA beers on tap (and valley local to boot) we loved what was offered to go with our amazing meals! Try anything! You won't be disappointed!!

Party of 2, went around 5pm. It wasn't busy when we arrived, but started getting busy around 5:45ish. We were greeted after we walked in and seated with our menus. The waitress was very friendly and polite. She came and asked for our drink order, but we also told her we were ready to order. So she did both. I like that the menu is kept simple because it made our decision easier. Our food, appetizers came out first and were amazingly fresh, tasty, and delicious! Wings: I love the crispy on the outside and soft on the inside texture. For me personally, I would've loved if it was they were a tad bit more crispy, but still, the wings were off the chart! Buffalo chicken tots: If you don't like the blue cheese sauce, you might not enjoy this appetizer too much. That wasn't the case for us! We loved it! The tots were fried to perfection with crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The chicken was cut perfectly to make sure you get everything in one bite. I ordered the spicy crispy chicken sandwich. It wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be so that was good. The chicken was a little dry, but overall, still good. I chose the side of tots because what can I say, I love tots! my nephew ordered the sweet Nancy (sorry, no picture) and I have to say, I should've ordered the same as him because it was wayyyy more delicious than my sandwich. lol! read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had. The tots also were out of this world. The taste of hot wings but with the addition of tots. The server was very friendly and the service was pretty fast for a busy night. read more

The food and drinks are great here, but I was very disappointed with the $12 dollar wonton order. The problem with them was I got the most petite smear of filling on every massive wonton. If this is how they're made, then I would suggest you steer clear. If this was poor QC, then it may be a place for improvement in the restaurant's side. read more

We went here for dinner on a Saturday night. We waited about 20 minutes for a table and about 30 minutes for the food, but it was all good. We ordered an appetizer, the pork belly fries. They were awesome. I ordered the fish and chips and my bride ordered the filet tacos. Everything was fantastic. The service was great too. I like this place. I'll be back. read more

If you're looking for local casual dining this place is a great find. The owners recently did some internal improvements and the food has really jumped up a notch. So if you haven't been recently, I recommend checking it out again. They have great options with sliders and tacos as well as burgers and sandwiches. The flavor combinations they offer are unique and delicious. We started with the poke nachos and braised pork belly fries. The poke nachos were okay. Poke was definitely fresh, but they left something to be desired. I would have preferred a more nacho style serving maybe with some avocado and additional sauce. The pork belly fries were fantastic. Great flavor combos and good amount of topping to fry ratio. For entrees we enjoyed the fish and chips, filet mignon tacos, and the Cuban sandwich. The fish and chips exceeded my expectations. The fish was very fresh tasting, no fishy flavor, and good portion size. The ponzu sauce for dipping was fantastic. Now let's talk about the fries here....they are amazing. The house seasoning makes them crispy and perfect. The cubano was loaded with meat good size sandwich and had a great slaw on top. Unfortunately, we didn't order any dessert, but their homemade deserts sounded fantastic and I'd love to go back and try a couple. read more

Always looking for a new brunch place in town and I am excited to try new places. There is definitely potential here if they can make some slight modifications. I will never pass up the chance to have a Bloody Mary and I was let down by theirs. The spicy level was good for me ((a bit much for my wife) but it lacked an obvious tomato flavor and was bland overall. The food was good but not great. If the chicken and waffles was well made but it was lacking a gravy/sauce. That would have taken it to the next level. The monte cristo was over battered and my standard is the one from Bleu Bayou at Disneyland and it fell short of that. read more

For starters we ordered the Surf n turf Tots. It was very good! Tots were crispy and fresh and their ghost pepper cheese sauce was amazing on it! Spice wise to me, it was not spicy but everyone's talorence is different. Must order! I ordered the fire cracker Chicken sandwich and it was good. It's not spicy unless you take a bite of the jalapeño! It's on the sweeter side and goes well with tapatio sauce. My fiancé ordered The Bourbon Meat Monster Burger. It taste like a Hawaiian burger without the pineapple. It's an interesting twist with 2 smashed Pattie's, sliced pork belly on top with slices of bacon. Loved it! Side note: Their women restroom is pretty cool. They have a wooden diaper changing set up and ready to use if you have a baby with you. Very interesting and thoughtful. I loved this idea, compared to having the hanging on the wall ones at Walmart. We would definitely recommend to friends and family. read more
My dude and I decided to dine here as during the Clovis food festival they had their Mediterranean Chicken tacos for all the participants to sample. We were both amazed on how delicious these tacos were with Hummus to we had to come back and dine here as the first taste made a big impression on us. We dined here for lunch and we were instantly seated as it was semi empty. After a few minutes being seated the place filled up! Anywho, they shared with us the drink specials and I thought I heard the waiter say they had a prickly pear lemonade as an alcoholic beverage so I ordered that and it was just a lemonade. The dude wanted just the House Lemonade which both of ours were the same, a dark pink lemonade which was good. The owners checked in with us which was great hospitality! I loved it. We both ordered taco plates which weren't as good as the samples we tried. It was very bland and didn't have much flavor to it. I Which was disappointing as I'm such a foodie and I want flavorful food, my dude felt the same way. The pictures look more appetizing than it appears. I love how beautiful this place is and everything flowed so natural here. My only complaint was the lack of seasoned food. Staff and owners are very welcoming and friendly. They accommodated a large party that just walked in with no hesitation. I must add! The dishes looked healthy and tasted healthy but nothing spectacular. They have a happy hour here. I love Old Town Clovis as it is just a few blocks of where I love so it is nice to get to learn the community and the restaurants it has to offer! read more

I have been coming here for years. Hands down fantastic food and never disappointed. Even during Covid they never lowered their standards and continued to create fantastic food to go. Yesterday I finally was hungry enough to try the Glovin' It, which, as it says, comes with rubber gloves to eat it. Not running down your elbows juicy, but all over your fingers juicy. Come order this beauty before it rotates off the menu for some new items that are coming soon. In a nut shell, its a fried chicken sandwich (+++), which I pretty much never order because, it's a breast, and they are usually dry. No siree Bob! It was crunchy and moist. A bit of heat from the ghost pepper cheese (or sauce, can't remember now). OMG good. Plenty big to share, or take half home and reheat to make another amazing sandwich, which I just now did. Fyi, you will need to give it a squish to fit it in your mouth, but totally worth it. Enjoy! read more

This is a great restaurant with great food and staff when I visited in June 2021. My friends and I had just finished backpacking in Kings Canyon, so per tradition, it was time to gain back all the calories we lost! I can't quite remember what they ordered, but I got the western-style burger. The bartender/server was accommodating with my requests: vegetarian patty, no bacon, and extra shoestring onions. I just told him in conversation that I love those onion in a burger, but he took it a step further and asked the cook to throw in extra for me. On top of that, the tater tots were bomb. My friends loved their burgers although one mentioned that the ghost pepper jack cheese wasn't spicy enough. The side salad and fries were also yummy. My friend also wanted to watch the basketball game and the bartender/server just asked her for the channel. Thanks for being so cool with us! read more

What a great place. We stopped in for a "date night". And both the service and food were wonderful. Plenty of options - even for the finicky foodie. A choice of beers on tap and we even got a happy hour discount. I had the vegan burger my husband had the fried chicken sandwich. Both came with a side of fries that were fantastic. Definitely a place you should visit read more

We tried The Craft House for the first time over the weekend. My parents were in town to celebrate my Birthday. Upon entering, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome from the owner. We were seated promptly. It was a Saturday evening around 7:30pm. It was a smaller restaurant but that's never bothered me. Some of the best restaurants I've been to are very small inside. It was not overly busy and crowded but there were still plenty of customers in there. Nice clean decor, kind of reminds me of industrial modern. It was casual but not overly casual. The ambiance was relaxed and not too loud and over stimulating. Our waitress took great care of us and was very attentive with a warm and pleasant attitude. Now for the food! First things first, everything was absolutely delicious. For an appetizer we ordered Braised pork belly and blue cheese fries. These were perfect, the fries were perfect, nice and crispy on the outside and soft non the inside, not dry at all. They also had great flavor, the blue cheese was nicely melted and the pork was extremely tender. The appetizer was flavorful and a great way to start our meal. My husband ordered Braised pork belly sliders and although I didn't try them, I will say they were delicious because he said so. He thoroughly enjoyed them and said he would put this restaurant in his top 5. He also loved his rosemary sauce and so did I. My stepdad ordered Chicken and waffles, he loved them. I took a bite of his chicken which was juicy and tender, with great flavor, and also a little crispy on the outside. I did not try his waffles but he said the amount of syrup and flavor was just right. He loved his meal. He said the food reminded him of a highly rated restaurant called The Chef's Table where he lives. I ordered the Caprese fillet mignon tacos and I very much enjoyed them. The filet minion was of course, very tender and juicy. There was great flavor in these little tacos and they were actually filling. Simply put, if you like Caprese salad or Caprese bruschetta, you will love this. It tasted fresh and just like a caprese dish. The Chipotle sauce was delicious and had a nice little kick to it. I ate most of my fries which I never do. I actually do not like fries but the fries at this restaurant are not greasy nor are they dry. They are perfect with a little flavor, a light crispy crunch and tender on the inside. My Mom ordered Crab cakes and greens. She's always likes to order salads or healthier dishes. She really enjoyed her meal. I took a little bite of her crab cakes and they tasted good to me. If I were to order a salad, I don't think crab cakes would be my first choice especially after seeing that Venice salad on their menu but hey if you like crab cakes then I'm sure you'll enjoy this dish. We ordered Chicken strips for our toddler and he really enjoyed them, actually we all enjoyed sneaking some chicken from his plate since it was such a generous portion for such a little eater. There were 3 fairly large chicken strips, perfectly crispy and moist on the inside. Funny, I am always on the hunt for good chicken strips and these will be added to my list. The ranch dressing was also delish. At the end our waitress brought out a little ice cream for me to say happy birthday. I thought that was a nice ending. Overall the food was excellent, the service was superb and the owner was very kind. The atmosphere was nice & relaxed. The selection of food on their menu was great and there was something for everyone. We enjoyed our experience here and will certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more
