“ We had Katie as our Waitress. She was awesome. I had the Chicken Fried Chicken with cajan gravy, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Wife had Chicken Pot Pie. Bith were very good... ”
“ The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is because there was a hair in my drink. When I sent it back, the bartender tried telling me it was a bamboo splinter-- I know the difference between a hair and a splinter. Other than that the food was decent and the waitress was very nice and accommodating for our dog. The bloody mary's are good, the cheesesteak sandwich lacked flavor but the fries were really good, my boyfriend ordered the chicken pot pie and it was really freaking good. A little overpriced but not a bad place to eat. ”
“ Stopped here after spending the day out in town and it has a dog friendly patio which is what caused us to stop by. Everything about this restaurant was amazing. The service the food and how easy it is to talk with little noise. They had tvs out on the patio and on a day like today it was great to sit out and enjoy the weather. The waitress brought our dog a water and a treat upon paying. The chicken pot pie was absolutely amazing and made me nostalgic to my younger days. The salad was great I would say it would be even better with diced eggs. Lastly the sweet tea and bloody Mary were both very good. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return. ”
“ We had a wonderful dinner at Craft Public House… The menu is extremely vast but be warned there only a handful of vegetarian/vegan options… but the food that we did order hit the spot!! The nachos were a bit of a let down but the eggplant more than made up for that! The eggplant dish was banging!! The portions are v generous! And the dessert portions are mind boggling! Overall, it’s a great family dining experience. We were seated in the relatively less exciting part of the restaurant. The side with the bar and the televisions is definitely more vibrant. ”
“ We went here for dinner because it was close to our hotel. We had to wait but for only maybe 10 minutes to get a seat. The staff were friendly and the place had good vibes. We sat outside so it was fairly quiet. I ordered a Cuban sandwich with coleslaw and a beer. The Cuban was delicious! It was loaded with meat and the creamy Dijon that came with it was awesome (I got extra). The coleslaw was good too and they give you an actual decent size side of it. The beer was a kind I’d never had before (hell yes ma’am from Raleigh brewing) and it was really good too. I paid about $25 without tip which I felt was reasonable for the amount of food I got + a craft beer. I’m just a visitor to Raleigh but I would definitely come back here if I ever come into town again. ”
