First time patron. The place was very clean and had a great vibe. I went on a Friday night to watch World Cup and grab some dinner and a beer. The service was quick and the food choices were plentiful. It took me a while to decide on some items, but I wasn't disappointed in my choices. For appetizers I chose the soft pretzel, buffalo chicken fries and spinach artichoke sticks. And for the entree I went with the shrimp po- boy. Everything was amazing. I will definitely be returning to try other items. read more

Quick service, reasonable prices but a bit loud for conversations. The chicken was very tender but I wasn't expecting the tomato to be diced and cooked. Same with the cilantro, I prefer it fresh not cooked. The green beans were tasty. read more

Craft 96 Draught House + Kitchen - Roasted Poblano Chicken - American Near Me - Mont Belvieu, Texas

I just want to start with saying that I have been serving and bartending for 11 years and am still in the industry today.. I think it's crazy that I didn't get checked on for 17 minutes after the table ordered food. Me and my boyfriend started with some soup and asked our server if we could keep a menu because we'd be sharing an entree. She said yes.. it was indeed 17 minutes..she put the first order in at 8:41PM. I always keep my eye on a clock when I'm trying new places out just to see how many times the table is being "touched" because I personally take pride in being the best server I can be for MY customers and like to compare myself with other servers..By the time everyone else's food hit the table (8:58) which was also the only other time we got checked on up until then ( I got up twice to look for my server so I could order!) the kitchen was closed for the night. Which I get it was 2 minutes before closing I completely understand but there's a thing called LAST CALL and just communicating with your tables..instead of trying to finish your side work as fast as you can maybe you should check on your table:( ..Ask them if they want another round of drinks..Hell a dessert even! Rake the tab up and get a better tip. The server seemed like a nice girl so I'm not trying to leave a malicious review! but just want to vocalize on how she could have been a better server tonight. Btw the person who paid the tab told her that we felt like we were being pushed out when we closed out--I do agree that it felt that way. It's not like we stayed 30 minutes past closing or anything! And she had an attitude back about how craft 96 closes and how they do things.. just another tip-Don't catch an attitude when you were in the wrong and could have gave better service. I have NEVER let a table sit that long without checking on them.. read more

This is our favorite place to eat in town. I highly recommend the spinach artichoke sticks, our fave meals are the bacon wrapped stuffed chicken, fried egg burger, shrimp tacos, smoked Gouda mac and cheese, & lemon artichoke grilled chicken. The pretzel & dessert pretzel are both really good, too. read more

You seat yourself, it's a very casual setting. Clean, servers were friendly & attentive. Po-boy was great, so were the fries. The potato consistency was great but could use a little more seasoning. Would definitely go back to try other menu items. read more

This place offers a unique selection of bar food, and the few meals I have tried have been very good. It is a small establishment where you usually seat yourself, but the service is consistently great, and the waitstaff are friendly. read more

Craft 96 Draught House + Kitchen - Lemon + Artichoke Grilled Chicken - American Near Me - Mont Belvieu, Texas

Nice ambiance, family-friendly. Service was prompt and our waitress was quite attentive and friendly. We started with the spinach artichoke sticks as an appetizer and they were wonderful. Cooked perfectly, with a wonderful blend of spinach, artichoke and cheese, covered with a crispy crust and ranch dip. Blackened fish tacos with the side of green beans was perfection! The tacos are a tad spicy, but not overpowering and the crispy green beans can be eaten as a replacement to fries! (Thoroughly enjoyed those beans!) My husband had the chicken fried steak, which was HUGE! His only request would be for it to have more seasoning, as he felt it was a little bland. Chicken Fried SteakSpinach Artichoke read more

I would give zero stars if I could. We waited at our table for over 15 min and left. We never got our drink order, sweet tea and a coke. We watched another table come in, order their drinks, get their drinks and order their food. Meanwhile we never got our drinks or even got the opportunity to order. They weren't even busy?! Do better. read more

My bf and I always love going here! The food is always fresh and delicious and they have a great selection of beers.

Walked in to Craft 96, not knowing what to expect. It was my wife's treat, so you know you got to trust her recommendation, lol. It is located in a strip center with plenty of parking. There was a sign as you entered stating seat yourself. We sat close to the bar and near a tv to catch some sports. Our server Carter greeted us immediately and got our drink order and appetizer order. He was very informative on the different pours on the draft. From what I grasp, the higher the alcohol content by volume comes in a pour as small as 5 ounces and up to a pint. I believe they change their draft menu quite often. I went with the Galveston Island Helles Lager, and my wife got the Crackberry Cider and Galveston Island Hefenweisen. All of these hit the spot. Our appetizers were the Giant Pretzel with beercheese and brown mustard, Fried Green Tomatoes, and a Caesar Salad for me. The pretzel was hot and fresh as well as the tomatoes, which were battered in a Tempura like breading. Caesar had a little twist to it, having red cabbage mixed in. I've never seen that before. The entrees were excellent, finely portioned, and delivered hot! I had the Shrimp Scampi with angel hair pasta, and it appeared they utilized 16-20 count shrimp for the dish. This was great to see! My daughter had the Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese with grilled chicken. This was equally amazing as well! I highly recommend coming by sometime. A big shout out to Carter and I commend him for exemplifying how a server should take care of the guest. I know we'll be coming by more often in the future when we move here in Oct! read more

Top tier drinks and service! Great place to go for a night out, or after a long week. Food is high quality, but menu needs a refreshing as it has been the same since opening. read more

Hidden gem in the Beach City area. So glad the parents brought us. Craft 96 likely has you and anyone you bring covered, when it comes to craft beer. Several local selections, lots of sours (thank you!), ciders, seltzers, and of course, all the usual craft beers. 60 on tap. Wow! And the food? Well done, Craft 96. We were here twice in four days, almost 3 times but ya know, turkey left overs. What'd we have twice? The bacon wrapped shrimp. What would we have again? Their ribeye steak and chicken fried steak, hands down. Their soup of the day was off the chain also. So good. Well seasoned, cooked to order, and fast. Our waitstaff was awesome. Attentive and friendly. Had a great time. Lots of room for different sized parties. Cute place with an industrial vibe. I love wood and metal combinations - simple and minimal always gets my attention. read more

65 Taps AND Great Food! We were traveling across the country and wanted to stop somewhere for some lunch and a brew. We found this place and being a beer fan, I found it hard to leave. The tap wall list is totally impressive if the row of tap handles doesn't impress you enough. For every offering, it shows the tap number, brewer, the type of beer/seltzer/cider, the %ABV, and prices per pour size. Unlike most other brew pubs, they charge for samples. No free tasters here. I did have some fun talking with other beer fans standing at the bar studying that impressive beer wall. I sampled a few and settled in for a stout. To my wife's surprise, I did manage to pry myself away from the bar and rejoin her at our table. For meals, my wife had the Brie + Apple Chicken Sandwich ($14.00), without the bread. It was served as a split grilled chicken breast, atop a bed of caramelized onions, topped with brie cheese, sliced granny smith apples and splashed with a balsamic reduction along with a side of skin on, hand cut fries. She thoroughly enjoyed it. I went for the Smoked Gouda + Mushroom Burger ($14.00). This was all of a half pound of very tasty, perfectly cooked to medium rare, hand formed beef, topped with bacon, sautéed mushrooms and melty smoked gouda cheese on a toasted brioche bun. Raw onion, lettuce, tomato and mayo were on the side. The burger also came with the fries. Look at my pics and check out this burger! It was as good as it looks. This place was terrific and I would gladly stop again if I'm every near there. read more

My husband and I decided to stop by Craft 96 for some drinks and some food after running errands. We picked this place because it was convenient and casual. We also saw that they had a lot of draft beers on tap which made us want to sit at the bar. The bartender was nice and friendly and explained that we can order smaller pours to try the different kinds of beer. Needless to say we both got a flight of 3-4 beers each to try! We also ordered some food, sweet potato fries, garlic mash, and fried spinach artichoke dip. The sweet potato fries were the best! Nice and thick and crunchy but soft, fluffy, and sweet on the inside. The fried spinach artichoke dip was fine, it wasn't anything too special but I liked that you can just eat the dip like a mozzarella instead of having to dip chips in it. Sadly the garlic mash was not that great. It tasted like boxed mashed potatoes and you couldn't even taste the garlic. Overall we had a great experience, minus the garlic mash (they were fine, if you like boxed mashed potatoes) and with over 60+ beers, we are definitely going back, might even have to try their entrees. read more

First review of '23 and I'm excited that Craft 96 is it! We've been waiting to try this place because driving by, it always looks busy. We did come early on a Friday ... 545ish ... at this point it was seat yourself and there were a few tables available. It noticeably got busier around 6ish but the wait seemed manageable for a Friday night. Once there was more than 2 groups of people waiting, the manager did a great job of hosting the open tables ... at about 630 it changed over to waiting to be seated. I will say I think the parking lot is deceiving ... it makes you think it's incredibly busy, and never once did I feel like there was an extended wait for anyone. Most groups waiting to be seated we're around 5-6 people. Our waitress was cute as a button and very attentive! We had our drinks immediately and she was ready to take our order when we were ready ... unfortunately for her, I have menu anxiety ... so it's takes me a bit to decide what I want, but she never once rushed us! Here's what we ordered: * pretzel: incredible ... crispy on the outside, soft on the inside ... beer cheese set it off, it was light, yet full of flavor ... for sure shareable among 4 people. * spinach artichoke dip sticks: surprisingly, this was the fav appetizer among our kids ... it's spinach artichoke dip that they freeze, cut up into dip-able sticks, deep fry, and serve with ranch. An order comes with 4 and we loved them! * apple & brie chicken sandwich: this is what I ordered and I was so excited for it ... unfortunately, it was my least favorite thing we ordered and I probably won't order it again ... the execution seemed kind of thrown together and I feel like a sandwich with these huge flavor profiles deserved a little more attention ... didn't love and wouldn't recommend. * shrimp po-boy: this was a complete throw back to NOLA - so much shrimp, perfect amount of bread, and the tartar sauce was amazing! The sandwich was HUGE and full of flavor ... this is a prime example of why I have menu anxiety ... I had food envy over my husbands dish! For the kids we ordered Mac n cheese (sub mashed pots for the side), grilled cheese, and chicken fingers ... all 3 kids loved their meals and 2 of the 3 almost ate their entire meal (which is pretty much an adult size meal). Overall, I highly recommend to go and give it a try! The atmosphere was great (tons of TVs), music was awesome, food was great, drinks were cold, service was amazing! read more

Went here with my husband and kid, they do have high chairs and a clean environment. I really did want to like this place; I ordered a grilled pork chop over mashed potatoes with asparagus and we got onion rings as appetizers. The onion rings were AMAZING, ranch was good! But I believe that the potatoes were instant and not home made at all . Overall it was fine but I would not go there again. They also did not have a bar menu but they did have every single drink listed on the wall above the bar. read more

This place was awesome. The food was great, i like to eat and the wife drinks. Had sooooo many different beers for her to try and she liked them all. Even the kids enjoyed their food. If we are in the area we will be going back. The adult grilled cheese was amazing with the avocado and bacon. Sweet potato fries were outstanding. Will have to try the onion rings next time. We got our growler filled and the wife enjoyed that the next few days. read more

The food, drinks and service were exceptional! I loved the great beer selections. What a great place!

Love it here drag IPA is always so good also staff members so nice !!!!! I'll be back . Appetizer are to die for

We have now been to all of the taps/restaurants in this group. The food has been uniformly excellent. The tap selection at each of the restaurants has been eclectic, fun, and intriguing. We love the fact that it is perfectly okay and encouraged to get small pours so that you can sample a wide variety and not get totally hammered while doing so. So, why five stars here? The answer is quite simple: Christian. We sat at the bar and the beer tender, Christian, was our host. He was engaging and totally on top of his game. He took the time to find out what we liked (and didn't like), what we were curious about, and if we were hungry. We stayed in our wheel house, then got out of our comfort zone, and then also tried some super funky and weird stuff. Christian stayed with us in light and fun conversation. He made sure our food was meeting expectations and genuinely seemed like he was having fun, with us. Sit at the bar. Ask for Christian. Tell him your beer thoughts and let him take you on a fun journey. We're absolute coming back. read more

Always a solid choice for a local dinner. I have tried several things on the menu and have loved them all. Overall the service has been great.

Food is great and the draft beer if you can decipher the offerings you'll enjoy the beer as well - the place is now competing with cactus jack and in my opinion the food is better at craft by a long shot - Service and true beer knowledge not what one would expect at a place with over 50 different beer offerings... something you will run into with such a broad range. Service was fair... missing silverware and no lemons with drinks when ordered. Not a single refill. Beat the crowd and visit craft ! read more

Food is amazing, beer selection is always on point, and the bartenders are always great to talk too.

Food was amazing and the selection of beers was huge. The waiter and waitress that helped us were so friendly and gave us some great options. We enjoyed everything we had and will definitely return!

Great beer and food. it may seem a small thing to talk about. But the green beans are the best I've ever tasted.

This place is amazing. The food is consistent, delicious and timely. Over 60 different beer selections. Alexis, Story , Cory, Taylor and the entire crew are phenomenal at their job. Exceptional service , great vibes and someone is always taking care of you. 5 stars? How about a 10 out of 10!! read more

This is a great place. The pork chops are out of this world. Always have good service.

Service is lacking recently. I have had to get up and leave the last two times I have been here because the wait staff seem uninterested in actually waiting on tables. I do like this place, but it's hard to go back when you can't actually get service. read more

I realize that this is a new place, However.....they didn't have menu items available and the food we did order was NOT worthy of the 60$ we spent. We had the bacon wrapped shrimp as the appetizer recommendation by the very sweet Miranda. I had the Gouda Mac and cheese with blackened chicken. First of all the "blackened" was from the grill not at all what blacken really means by my definition. It was basically grilled chicken with no flavor at all. On a bed of watered down over cooked pasta. The Gouda was nowhere in the plate. And if you don't know, Gouda is fabulous! This was not at all worth the 16$ I paid. My husband had the Pan herb-seared salmon with veggies. It was decently cooked but no flavor with like 12 veggies which was actually good. Just not enough for again the price paid. Our son had the children chicken strips with fries that were not fresh and were over cooked at that. The beer menu is pretty extensive and seems like it would be what you're most likely going for. It's is revolving and never the same to my understanding with each visit. I would suggest spending some money in an actual cook and then maybe hire waiters and waitress that are present and available. I will give this place another try eventually but it's just probably only going to make it because of the beer variety. It gets three stars only because Miranda was fabulous and attentive. Otherwise it would be a one because in my opinion the food had much to be desired but again it's probably the beer you'll go for. Enjoy! read more

From the food to the atmosphere it is wonderful. You walk in and seat yourself. My husband and I sat at the bar on the side. We did a flight of beers that I would normally not try. I am not a beer drinker but the sours and ciders caught my eye. We did 5oz pours to try. The menu is new and inviting. This is great for the area and will bring a lot of out of area people. Our waitress was friendly and outgoing. She had a cool hair do with a half shaved head. read more
