Ordered 2 apps, steak and fries and brussels. Both were very good. I highly recommend the steak and fries. The steak was so tender and flavorful and the fries had a three cheese sauce and balsamic glaze that was to die for. For the main I ordered the Western Burger. American wagyu beef with thick cut bacon, cheddar cheese, onion rings, bbq sauce and the sauce that made this a great burger was the habanero aioli. The kick was just right. Not too hot but you still felt it. Other items on the menu included ribeye steak, pork chops, chicken piccata and several salads that sounded delicious. Service was excellent. They stayed right on top of things and handled every request without anything forgotten. I highly recommend Craft & Gather if you're looking for an excellent, chill spot to catch an excellent meal.

The Mad Cow Reviewer…read more Well, color me udderly impressed! I wandered into McKracken's Irish Pub in Spokane Valley after a long day chewing cud and was greeted with the warmest "moo" of hospitality I've felt in ages. The owner clearly knows how to make everyone--two-legged or four-hooved--feel right at home. Let's start with the Guinness--cold, creamy, and poured with care. It's enough to make a bull tear up with joy (and that's saying something). The Irish stew? Hearty, rich, and packed with flavor. The cornbread is the real surprise--soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for soaking up the last bits of stew. Whoever's in that kitchen deserves a medal--or at least a salt lick of appreciation. They've got WiFi, so you can update your herd on your dining adventures, and the regulars add to that cozy, small-town pub vibe. Karaoke on Fridays is a real treat too--nothing like hearing a few pints in patrons belt out "Don't Stop Believin'" while I hum along in low, soulful moos. All in all, McKracken's is the kind of place that makes you want to settle in, loosen your bell, and stay awhile. Great food, cold beer, friendly faces--what more could a mad cow ask for? -- The Mad Cow Reviewer

Couple friends and I decided to give this restaurant a try. The restaurant is clean, slightly…read moredated, with MeTV showing on the small TVs in the dining area. Our server was very busy, handling both the bar and restaurant areas. We all started with appetizers, which we shared. Fried green beans were good, kind of spendy. The onion rings were great and the tarter they came with was nice. The mozzarella sticks were good, the marinara was cold and chunky. For meals, two of us went with their Irish Stew, salad, and absolutely delicious cornbread. Our other friend tried their Burnt End sandwich. She said it was really good. What I really wanted was BBQ turkey, which is on their online menu but not on the menu in the restaurant. It was a good experience and we'll definitely give them another try in the future.

The beer was ice cold and really good. We started with the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer, and…read morethat was probably my favorite part of the meal. I'd definitely order it again. I got the Pint Burger, and honestly, I was a little disappointed. For a place that's known for burgers, I was surprised they use frozen patties. They also don't ask how you want it cooked, and I thought it was a little bland for the price. The sweet potato fries were really good though, especially dipped in BBQ sauce like our server recommended. My husband got the chicken quesadilla, and he said it was really good. It came with a different kind of sour cream that he really liked. We'd probably come back, but next time I'd order something different instead of the burger.

Met a couple of friends here after work. Like many places, they appear to have staffing shortages. There was only one person working, which meant they would disappear when food was ordered to prepare it. We understood and were patient. Our server was not very friendly, but was trying to handle everything. Music was not to our taste and rather loud which didn't really make it easy to relax after work.

I don't write a lot of these, so when I do, pay attention!…read more I probably drove by this place 20 times before I actually noticed it. Then, once I noticed it, I didn't go in because I've had mixed experiences with little breweries like this. Eventually, I finally walked through the door, and I'm writing this review to help you not make the same mistake I did . The first thing you notice is how warm and inviting the place is. Wood tables, fun chairs, great music, and plants. So many plants. It feels like an actual neighborhood hangout. Here's the funny part: I can't stand beer. My wife likes it, but my taste buds won't allow it. I'm also a type 2 diabetic, so a lot of the usual brewery food isn't really an option for me. But the first time we came in, I saw things like Caprese Salad, Italian Salad, Smoked Salmon, and other options that actually work for me. And then I discovered they make their own hard seltzers. Game changer! They always have several fun flavors, and they're unsweetened, which is exactly what I'm looking for. You can also get cans to go if you want to bring some home. You can tell the husband and wife owners have put a lot of love into this place. It's comfortable, welcoming, a little quirky, and they've always been incredibly kind. So if you live around here or just driving through, check it out!

I was recommended to try this place by a co-worker and decided to order two of their sandwiches…read morewhich was talked up by several reviews here on Yelp. I ordered the Fig Sandwich and the Fancy Pants Sando because I could not decide between the two as they both sounded very unique in different ways. I called the place up and arranged to come pick the food up. The person on the phone was very thoughtful in keeping in mind at what time I would arrive so he could arrange for the sandwich to be toasted at the right time. I appreciate small details like that. When I arrived, I noticed there were several tables and a bar where you can essentially get brews and food. I noticed they had several beers on tap which I was very curious about, but unfortunately did not have time to sit down and eat at this establishment. The person at the bar was extremely friendly and made me feel very welcome. The two sandwiches came up to $40ish. I brought the sandwiches home and first tried a few bites of the Fancy Pants Sando. I will have to say it was the better of the two sandwiches. I appreciated the goat cheese in the sandwich and the mix of different ingredients, but it was not something I would consider to be a great sandwich, at least not for me. Others might find it pleasant, but I did not care for it much. The fig sandwich was the one I was more excited about and expected some sweetness to be cut down by the bacon. I don't think it was a perfect balance between the two, and I got a tad much of the overwhelming sweetness of the figs in this sandwich. Again, others might enjoy it, but I didn't care for it. I really wanted to give this place a great review, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. The beer looks fun though and might be a good reason to give this place a try, and you may enjoy their sandwiches and many people have. For me, that's a no-go.

Moo. This cow enjoys grazing at Bardic Brewing. It's a family-friendly brewpub in Spokane Valley…read morewith thoughtful craft drinks, good food, and a calm pasture where conversations don't have to compete with loud music or glowing TV screens. When this cow wanders in, there might be stouts being slowly savored near the fireplace, humans discussing ancient literature, a family laughing over a half-finished pizza, or a nearby table deep into a heated game of Magic the Gathering with ESBs and cider in hoof. It's cozy, communal, and usually feels just right. One thing this cow respects -- the beer here is strong, and it's not brewed for the weak. There's nothing on tap that isn't unique or intentional. That said, this also means Bardic isn't for everyone. The average beer drinker looking for a simple, easy-drinking West Coast IPA that isn't pushing 9% ABV may leave unsatisfied, and that likely eliminates a large portion of beer drinkers in the area. For adventurous palates, though, this place is a treat. Lately, this cow has noticed the welcome hasn't been quite as warm as it used to be. The beer and food remain excellent, but the last few visits felt a bit less friendly. A smile or a greeting would go a long way in restoring the inviting feel this pasture is known for. Nothing has soured, and this cow will return. I just hope the hospitality rises to match the boldness of the beer and the heart of the space -- because when it does, Bardic Brewing is a fantastic place to graze. Moo.

MAD COW REVIEWS: 45 DEGREES…read more Listen up, herd. Mad Cow has wandered into 45 Degrees in Spokane Valley multiple times now, and I feel obligated to report my findings: This place is udderly fantastic. Yes, I know I'm a bull. No, I don't have udders. Don't ruin the joke. 45 Degrees is one of those hidden little Spokane Valley watering holes that you almost don't want to tell people about because then everybody will show up and take your favorite spot at the trough. But I'm telling you anyway. THE BEER: Fabulous. They craft their own beer, and you can tell somebody actually gives a damn about what's going into the glass. There's attention to detail here. This isn't "pour something fizzy in a pint glass and slap a clever name on it" beer. Mad Cow takes his grazing seriously. He takes his beer even more seriously. THE OWNER: Incredible host. Every time I've been in, I've felt welcomed. He's friendly, involved, and clearly cares about the people walking through his door. That's becoming increasingly rare, and it's a big part of what makes this place work. THE FOOD: Yep, there's grub. They have appetizers, they're actually GOOD, and they pair perfectly with sitting around having a beer and absolutely nowhere important to be for the next hour. But here's what I like most about 45 Degrees: The herd. The people I've met here are just good people. It's mellow. It's fun. It's welcoming. Nobody seems particularly interested in who you are, what you do, or whether you arrived in a $90,000 truck or rode in on a tractor. Pull up a chair. Have a beer. Join the herd. That's the vibe. It's tucked a little out of the way, which is probably why more people don't know about it yet. Personally, I think Spokane Valley needs to fix that. So Mad Cow is officially letting the secret out of the barn: Go find 45 Degrees. Have an appetizer. Try the beer. Meet the owner. Talk to the people sitting next to you. Just don't take Mad Cow's seat. There WILL be a stampede. MAD COW RATING: 5 HOOVES UP. Yes, cows only have four. It's that good.
