I came on a Monday afternoon and a Saturday afternoon, and both times were a vibe. They played mostly hip hop, but the music selections were on point. You CANNOT beat the $10 hookah!!! The pineapple hookah was really good and it didn't have a burnt flavor to it. I also tried the $6 catfish brunch special. The catfish was HUGE, fresh, and very tasty along with the fries. On Monday, my bill for 4 drinks, 2 catfish brunch specials, and hookah came out to $54. The customer service is just middle of the road--not outstanding, but not terrible. This is a nice place to just relax, maybe get out the house to wfh, or to pregame. I will be returning!

We were welcomed and seated quickly, which was a plus for a busy weekend. The music was on point, the hookah was in the air, and the shots were flowing--exactly the kind of energy we needed after a 2 PM brunch and before a night out! If you're looking for a lively day party vibe in Charlotte, this is definitely a spot to check out!

Music was nice and everyone was polite but I watched a lot of people leave turned off on the idea of that membership fee.

Her two friends came in and stood right next to me at the end of the bar and she started hugging and speaking to them. She made eye contact with me 2 more times before giving them free liquor in to-go cups and then they walked out with it. She then asked me what I wanted. Proceeds to overcharge me $27 for a bourbon and automatically added 20% gratuity. Nicole (the name on the receipt) she never introduced herself of course. Hospitality industry is not for you babes. No wonder the bar was empty!

On this particular visit, I sat on the patio, which I had never done before, but it was nice and quiet and very relaxing on a Sunday evening. I ordered the cheesecake and it was garnished with caramel popcorn, which added a nice touch to look at, but the popcorn was stale so I don't really think it was necessary, but it did make the plate look pretty. The cheesecake was delicious. Couldn't finish it all, but I took it home and finished it the next day. Our server was great. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave good suggestions. Love Crave and I'll again and again.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.
