First time here and the atmosphere is extremely friendly. Very family friendly as well, not your typical intimidating sports bar. The portions are huge!! Our waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu. I believe her name is Meesh. When I tell a wait staff member it's my first time, I expect that they take the time to get me and my guests familiar with the menu and anything special they may have and Meesh met that expectation! We will definitely be back if we're back in the area! Keep up the great work! read more

We tried coming here on a Friday night and literally couldn't find parking go we have it another try Sunday early evening, success! What drew me to this place, besides being local to me was its lengthy drink menu, lol. The menu looked pretty dang good too, heavy of the "pork candy" everywhere, which is cool. We had intended to order a appetizer to share and then dinner but we didn't make it past the appetizers because they are freaking ginormous! The nachos we ordered were decent but because I typically find something in any given situation I would suggest they add either cilantro or jalapeños or some sort of greenery to brighten up the color scheme on this dish. Both the drinks I got were solid and the service was fantastic. read more

My mom and I love crafted. Mainly for their huge pretzel! But I also have to get the Chicago beef rolls every time I come! So good, and the sauce that comes with them is amazing. The burgers are definitely the way to go as well. The wings, my husband likes but some of the sauces, I didn't care for. I also was not a fan of the smoked chicken artichoke dip, I think many because it was very different and not what I was expecting. The service was good and the booths are huge, so you have a lot of room! The outside seating for at night is really nice as well read more

Service was good. Food portions were a good size. Parking is a bit of a pain in the butt. A bit of a wait to get seated but not too bad.

Love the atmosphere. The craft bear was amazing and unique. We had a few different apps and they were very tasty. read more

My friends and I came here after an appointment. It has been on my "to try" list for awhile, but it was always just a little too far to justify going. Since we were closer, we decided to check it out. I'm glad we did! It was nice inside. The weather was a little chilly, so they didn't have the windows open on the patio, but I always like that option in restaurants for the summer. The fresh air is key! For an appetizer, we got the smoked chicken artichoke dip. That was amazing! The smoked chicken elevated this classic appetizer to a whole new level. It was so hard to not eat the whole thing myself, but I knew I needed to share. For my entree, I got the 815 which was very tasty. It was fresh and savory. The ciabatta bread was a perfect pairing for this sandwich. It was rather big, so I could only eat half, but then I had something to take home with me. The service was good and our waitress was very attentive. The only downside was I happened to sit right in front of the AC and it was freezing. Overall, it was a very nice experience with great food. read more

Super disappointed. Ordered traditional wings to go (2 orders- traditional wings, selected a wet sauce for both) picked them up for home had no idea they were smoked wings (doesn't say that in the description online.) they weren't tossed in the sauce, they were so chewy that they weren't edible. So now instead of being happy eating wings I'm annoyed and stuck with PB&J and out $40 for food we couldn't eat. EDIT TO ADD! The manager refunded us for our order and was super nice about it, for the customer service alone I'd be willing to give them another shot in the future read more

We love this local hangout! Everything is really good! My hubby gets the Cluck Yeah each time and he just loves it!

The environment was pretty cool and fun . The staff was nice and helpful . The menu was huge , but the food didn't meet my expectations. My husband's wing were not as good as we expected. My fries were definitely not poutine fries , which broke my heart . But the drinks were good . I'll go back and maybe try something different read more

The food here was so good I really liked the atmosphere-laid back and chill. although the parking lot was packed we were seated in no time. Our waitress was training a new hire and honestly I kinda liked having two waitresses lol they both did a great job! Didn't take a photo of the appetizer but we got the beef wontons and they were delicious . I don't live in the area but if I'm ever that way again I'll definitely stop by! read more

Really enjoyed everything we tried. We underestimated the quantity of food! You won't go away hungry. Everything we tried was excellent: the massive soft pretzel, the cheese curds, Reuben, Mac and cheese, asparagus, all excellent. Will return to continue to try more items. And please note if you doubt the two-foot Philly is that large, it can easily feed 4. Don't order it alone. read more

We went to watch a Bears game and had a great experience!

Met a friend for a couple of beers. Sat at the bar outside. We were told we had to leave by 6 because they had a wedding rehearsal dinner coming in at six and they reserved the whole outside bar . I guess the next time I go out for a beer I'll find someplace else that wants my business. read more

My fiancé and I were headed back from our vacation in Buchanan, MI when we decided to stop for lunch. We found this place thanks to social media and wanted to give it a try. The place was HUGE inside--we had just come back from camping so we opted to eat inside vs. on the large open patio. Our waitress (actually two of them working together!) brought us huge menus and asked us for our drink orders. We went with simple Cokes but the beer and cocktail list was huge and we want to come back and try speciality drinks sometimes soon. We shared the beef rolls to start. They were HOT--both in temperature and in spice level--and absolutely sensational. The ranch they were served with was a cooling yet zesty companion. My parter ordered the burger of the day--an apple, Brie cheese, and slightly spiced sauce--and devoured it. The fries it came with had Parmesan cheese and garlic sprinkled on them, and were clearly fresh from the fryer. I had their Mac and cheese, which was covered in their "pig candy" bacon and pulled pork. Sen. Sa. Tion. Al. I swear I died and went to heaven. With my main course, I was also served a "house salad." Normally this would be the expected ice burg with cheese/tomato/cucumber and whatever dressing they have. This was NOT the norm. It was a bowl of spinach with cranberries, goat cheese, more of the sweet and spicy "pig candy," all in a legit delicious poppyseeds dressing. We were too full for desert and had a lovely amount of leftovers to snack on later after we finish our long drive. We're obsessed with Craft'd and whatever genius runs that kitchen. Stop here--you WILL NOT be disappointed. read more

The pulled pork Mac n cheese is sinful. Highly recommend. The atmosphere is great and so was the service.

Still good, Mac n Cheese is great and has something that most people will like. Because of that, my family and my friends end up coming here a lot. Service is consistently good, no complaints at all. And the shaded outdoor seating is nice in the summer time. read more

We always hit up Craft'd when we come to Joliet to visit family. We usually have a table of at least 8, sometimes more. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. We have thoroughly enjoyed our meals (all of us) and adult beverages , and received excellent, attentive service each time we visit. Tonight, Richard was our server, his area was slammed, he was attentive, friendly, was extremely knowledgeable about all the menu items when we had questions and our glasses did not go empty (very important). Richard provided excellent service! We had a great evening! Ps: #pigcandy read more

First time trying this place and was pretty disappointed. We got to our booth and there were so many flies (and a bee) flying around the table and windows that we asked the waitress to move. When we told her our reasoning, she said "oh yeah, that table always has a ton of flies." Ok - kind of alarming. I get the doors are open but I've been to plenty of places that have open doors and do not have this many bugs flying around the tables. Second table was better. Ordered drinks and the drinks were really good - the only reason why I'd give 2 stars. When we ordered our food, I asked if I could have one burger patty instead of two and was told no. I thought that was kind of odd - cook one patty instead of two? But whatever - I'll pick it off. Waitress was very nice. Ordered the Italian beef egg rolls - very meh. Also didn't get any plates with our app so we were spilling all over the table trying to reach the app and also eat. Burgers came out - buns were very soggy. Clearly not the right bun for the patty and toppings. Patty tasted cheap and was not flavorful. I paid $3 extra for Brussel sprouts that were burned completely black. Overall, not impressed. I would consider coming here to have a couple drinks if I lived closer but wouldn't consider making a trip out here again anytime soon. read more

Was ignored by staff and floor manager for easily 15 minutes, I travel alone and work on the road so maybe it's because it was busy and I'm a guy with a backpack sitting at a table alone. After going up to bar and letting them know I intended on drinking and eating in their establishment they sent a server to my table and I had an enjoyable experience. The manager seems like he doesn't care, when you eyeball the same dude for 19 minutes and don't even have drink of water on your table you gotta wonder wtf is happening in the kitchen. So yeah, the Cobb salad was good. The server was sweet and attentive once she showed up. I probably won't go back, JBH read more

First time getting food from here and not sure I'll ever try them again. Asked for no onions due to the smell and taste of them being an extreme pregnancy aversion and low and behold my turkey burger was put on a bed of cooked onions. Also looks like scallions might be cooked into the patties as if that wasn't enough, I had hope to put barbecue sauce (or that the jam that was supposed to be on the burger) would save the taste for me, but the jam wasn't on it and the barbecue sauce i paid for wasn't included. As far as the rest of the food goes, my husband doesn't like their Mac n cheese with pork meal or their cheese curds (think maybe it's the seasoning in the breading of the curds?). read more

It was time for an updated review- I've had the chance to eat here several times (football season) and truly like this place! Their pig candy salad is where it is at!

Went there for the burgers that I read about. Simply amazing. One of the best I tasted. Well worth it and service was great. I will be back. read more

I will start this by saying that I am very fair in my reviews and even go out of my way to overlook small things most times!! I arrived and could tell like most places on Jan 2 they were busy due to people being off work, but there were seats at the bar and I was starving so figured that would work. The place was definitely hopping and the bar staff were constantly on the go, but they took care of me in a timely fashion. I ordered a burger and upgraded to fries from the chips. The food came out in what was probably a normal time for how busy they were. Gabbed a fry and it was barely warm and had already gotten real soggy and lacked any salt. Took a bite of the burger and it was like warm as well like it all had been sitting the window for more than a few minutes, but with how busy they are and how hungry I was I just said screw it and chowed down. As I had a few more fries they just became Colder an mushier, I noticed that they were really covered in oil and that there was now a pool of oil at the bottom of them which was definitely not appetizing. I left the rest of the fries and finished the burger not because it was good (mediocre at best) but that I was hungry and kind of in a time crunch. Paid my bill and left a good tip (not the bartenders fault the kitchen staff is slacking) and left with thinking that McDonald's would of been better and only about $10 and not $40 (with a beer and coke). With all of the great places around I won't be back (which is too bad because I only live 3 minutes away). read more

Made my way back in after not being here for about ten years. Very little has changed. I've enjoyed our visit each time. Craft'd has a huge food menu. If you can't find something here chances are you're overly picky. Their beer menu is decent, not amazing. It's summer, but they had a very noticeable absence of browns, stouts and porters. With as many crafts as they carry, each should be represented with 2-3 choices apiece. Back to the food, not only is it good here, but they serve larger portions than most restaurants, which I entirely appreciate. There's nothing like being hungry and getting finger sandwiches and child portions. Bravo to Craft'd for treating us like adults! Cheers! read more

With so many new micro breweries opening everyday, prices matter. Although some folks enjoy dropping 8 dollars or more for a brewmasters idea of a beverage , to continue beyond when the new wears off - is important. It is better to make one dollar from a million customers, than to make two from half that who won't return! read more

We went to the Easter Egg hunt event today.... We didn't have reservations (event ever said we had to make one).... Apparently that's just how busy this place is... Who knew?!?! Hostess was nice... The manager or owner, not sure, was really the one to get us in, which was awesome because my kids were pumped for the egg hunt which was set up outside. I can't wait to come back and enjoy some drinks outside this summer! Waitress was very attentive, served our food fast, and it was yummy... Everyone enjoyed what they ordered too!! The boss man went around after the hunt and made sure kids with less eggs were given a few more. AND they threw an extra hunt at the very end for anyone that arrived late she missed the first one. Some lucky kids won food from Craft'd for a year! This is my second time here, can't wait to go again with the hubby read more

We'd just had the most amazing experience with Chop'd and decided we had to try out sister restaurant Craft'd. I was weirdly craving a salad and my husband was weirdly craving tater tots, and I was certain one of us was going to end up disappointed. But Craft'd came through! I got their incredible chopped candy Cobb, full of eggs, candied bacon, blue cheese crumbles - it was everything I wanted in a salad - a little refreshingly green, and a little naughty. I subbed out their pesto ranch for blue cheese, and it was perfect. The husband got the bacon burger on a potato bun and it was beautiful - two patties, tons of cheddar and bacon - and accompanied by TOTS! Even though we got delivery, they arrived still hot and crispy, super well seasoned, a total winner. This is a place we will definitely order from again and again! read more

Was in town for 4 days (for work, alone) and ended up coming here twice for dinner! The first night the waitress was so kind and the food was so outstanding that when I couldn't find anywhere for my last night I went back! She didn't think it was weird at all that I came in with a work bag and asked for a booth for 1 and I appreciate that. I ordered nachos which was laughable for 1 person and needless to say that was all that was needed (though I also ordered the Brussels sprouts which were delicious). The second night I got the turkey burger which I would definitely order again. read more

Well, New Years Eve is the exact day i had the BEST BLT sandwich of my life. I went to Craft'd with my friends and their kiddos for the new years eve kids party. The kiddos had so much fun with building their own pizza, dancing, clinking little 'champagne' (apple cider) flutes, and of course, the balloons and confetti drop. Staff was really nice and helpful. Clean place. Too bad it's so far away from Chicago, otherwise i'd be a regular... just because BLT :D read more

I love this place! Their food is excellent. Their service is top notch. I have an example. Last night I came to the restaurant and they said they were having a huge party and not many tables were available for other customers. The hostess said to wait and she ran back and forth checking continuously until she was able to capture a vacant table for me. I was exhausted just watching her. She was amazing. I wish I had caught her name. read more
