Inside of this restaurant is pretty cute but can get a bit noisy since there are so many people inside. We ordered the Copenhagen caesar, Solvang hot chicken sandwich with crispy potatoes, and the mac & cheese with caramelized onions to share. I love a hot chicken sandwich and theirs is absolutely fantastic. The herbs, shredded cabbage, and pickled onions were a great addition to the spicy fried chicken. The crispy potatoes were so good, they held up well the next day as well! I highly recommend getting the caramelized onions added to the mac and cheese. The portion was quite big so we had to take it to go but it was also great to eat cold straight from the fridge. We are definitely coming back again if we are in the area but will try and make a reservation so we can sit outside next time!

We tried the pickled olives, baby gem salad, fresh tomato soup, and the kids' grilled cheese sandwich with another serving of soup. The tomato soup was easily the highlight of the meal - so fresh, flavorful, and comforting! One thing for vegetarians to keep in mind: the potatoes are fried in chicken fat/oil, which we were glad they told us about, so we skipped those. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with fresh ingredients and great service. Would definitely recommend, especially for that tomato soup!

I hadn't tried aebleskiver before so I have no point of comparison, but it was a little ball of dough with jam and powdered sugar. I ordered 3 which was plenty to split with my boyfriend just to get a taste of it. It's personally not my favorite since I think I would prefer a slightly crispier fried dough ball but I'm guessing that would be less authentic. I was glad to try it out so easily! The service was quick. It would have been nice if there were some seating outside--there were 2 benches, but it was pretty limited. It made a lot of sense why everyone was walking around with it!

There was a menu adjustment but was more than acceptable for a large group of our size. The first thing I look for when I enter any place serving food is (is this place clean)? YES! Food safety is very important. Food taste excellent. Service was Excellent. The personal touches they put into hosting us for dinner were over the top. This was one of the best dinning experiences we have ever had. Thank you so much.

Celebrating our nation's 250th birthday in beautiful Solvang!…read more We ate at Craft House four times during our visit--and for good reason! It is, in our opinion, the best restaurant in Solvang. Every meal was exceptional, and the service was consistently outstanding. From the moment we walked in, Daniel welcomed us with a warm smile that made us feel right at home. At our first breakfast, Taylor provided friendly, attentive service that set the tone for the rest of our visits. That evening, we enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer, beet & burrata salad, short rib grilled cheese and black tie burger. Every dish was absolutely delicious. On our second breakfast visit, Sandra took wonderful care of us. She is such an asset to Craft House--knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely welcoming. Sophia, who brought out our food several times, always greeted us with the biggest smile. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Lorenzo and Nora were also fantastic servers who helped make every visit memorable. Over four visits, we sampled several different entrées and breakfasts. The avocado toast and chorizo quesadilla were definite standouts, and every meal exceeded our expectations. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Craft House team for your incredible hospitality, exceptional service, and outstanding food. We can't wait to return!

Medium peppery spice, very salty but the cheese you taste from it is delicious!!! Def recommend getting this one. ANDOUILLE - ( 7/10 ) salty and porky. light spice CHICKEN APPLE - ( 5/10 ) not too strong of a apple taste CURRY WURST - ( 7/10 ) mild curry ish taste. Not too salty in a good way but very savory PICKLES - ( 4/10 ) was excited to have sweet Danish styled pickles but was disappointed to have these. They were like normal American pickles, vinegary, sour, and salty. It tasted like they tried to make it sweet but the strong vinegar taste was still there. The pickles weren't bad just be prepared for vinegary pickles! HONEY MUSTARD - tasty ( 8/10 ) SPICY BROWN- vinegary and sour not very spicy ( 7/10 ) SWEET HOT - SO GOOD ( 10/10 ) CURRY KETCHUP - a savorish ketchup curry ( 6/10 ) - outdoor seating only (good for large groups - Restrooms available - street Parking available

Cheese was also meaty and pulley SPICY AND HOT OMELETTE $16.75 - ( 7/10 ) Texture was great but was missing a kick / strong flavor profile. The food was not spicy like the name suggests. DANISH PANCAKES + BERRIES - ( 6/10 ) Not bad! The pancakes on their own weren't too sweet and I actually quite liked adding the lemon they added onto the side. It made the pancakes less heavy CHICKEN AND WAFFLES $15.50 - ( 6/10 ) it's hard to find a place that has good chicken AND waffle. Not bad nothing amazing. Chicken was a bit on the dryer side. Kinda taste like Tyson chicken Waffles moist and good! Good size. TATER TOTS - ( 9/10 ) Tater tots are super crispy and crunchy in the BEST WAY!

The check-in process was a breeze; we simply shared our party size and dining preferences. Before we knew it, we were seated in about 15 to 20 minutes. Now, let me tell you about the atmosphere. Inside, it was quite lively and a bit loud, so we opted for a charming outdoor seating area that felt much more relaxed. I couldn't help but notice how the staff, dressed in traditional Danish attire, radiated warmth and friendliness while being impressively efficient. For my meal, I went with a Danish pancake accompanied by Danish-style sausage--absolutely divine! I also swapped my eggs for hashbrowns, and wow, these have to be the best hashbrowns I've had in years. My child chose a waffle topped with fluffy whipped cream and a glass of orange juice, which she raved about, claiming it tasted like fresh-squeezed goodness. The portions were more than generous, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. All in all, it was a delightful brunch experience that I'd gladly recommend!

After a week on the road, I was craving something delicious and packed with protein for both myself…read moreand my child. As we passed by, the enticing menu caught our eyes, especially the children's skirt steak and fries--exactly what I wanted for her! However, I have to admit, the prices were on the higher side, which is typical for this type of restaurant. Still, given what we were paying, I was surprised by the lack of attention to detail, especially regarding cleanliness. There was quite a bit of dust on the ledge near our table, which triggered my allergies and led to a couple of sneezes. To add to the disappointment, our rolls arrived well after our entrées. By the time we finally got them, they were cold and a bit hard. When they did reach our table, a server in training accidentally dropped a salt and pepper shaker into our plate of rolls, and surprisingly, didn't seem to think twice about it. On a brighter note, our main server was delightful, and the beef stroganoff was nothing short of heavenly. The meat was incredibly tender, and the mushrooms swimming in red wine sauce were a true highlight. I did find it a bit off-putting to see a surprise 2% surcharge tagged on to cover labor expenses. Honestly, I'd prefer higher menu prices that reflect the actual costs, rather than this nickel-and-dime approach. Employees deserve fair wages, but those extra fees can be frustrating. After all was said and done, my child's meal, my beef stroganoff, and just two rolls--with tax, a tip, and that extra charge--brought our total to just under $100. When I asked to take my leftovers home, I was handed a container to pack it all myself. Maybe it's just me, but when I'm spending that kind of money, I expect a bit more attentive service.
