Insta: @mmmashterchef  Chopped brisket sandwich
Mike M.

Enjoyed my experience here. Love and appreciate the self pour concept especially as an out of towner to try a variety of local craft beers. Lineup was above average with lots of offerings...not many rated overly high or rare but solid. Had the lunch chopped brisket sandwich with crinkle fries for a good lunch price. The seasoning on fries was fantastic. The Alabama bbq was elite as well. Brisket itself decent. Ill definitely be back when in the area every few months if new offerings rotate through the draft lines

Craftworx Taproom - 4 Stars Craftworx Taproom is the kind of spot that pulls you in with good vibes and keeps you coming back with even better flavor. The Burnt Ends Sandwich is the standout--perfectly smoky, tender, and packed with bold flavor. Easily earns a strong . The crispy tots on the side were golden perfection, and the pickles gave it a nice zing. The Mango Pineapple Sour is a refreshing choice for anyone looking to explore beyond the basics. Bright, tropical, and just the right amount of tang. Solid . The Cheese Quesadilla was simple and satisfying but didn't quite hit the same high notes as the rest. Still, a good sharable bite that earns a respectable . Customer Service? Impeccable. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Full for that. Ambiance is dope--modern, clean, and designed with both comfort and style in mind. Great lighting, chill seating areas, and TVs for catching the game. Gives you that "hang out all afternoon" kinda feel. A cozy here. Craftworx Taproom is clearly more than just a beer spot--it's a full experience. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area. I'll be back, and next time, I'm bringing friends.

Walked into this place on a Wednesday night and had zero expectations walking in. However I immediately noticed that they had line dancing on Wednesday evenings. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that this was a self-serve place. You essentially get a card that's connected to your tab and go up to the tap and serve yourself however much you want of whichever drink. They have so many beers, ciders and even cocktails. There's a little digital screen that shows you how much you're being charged. I wish all taprooms and breweries did this! It's perfect for me as I don't usually like to drink a lot and sometimes have trouble finishing my drink. I will be returning for a girls night so we're able to try line dancing!

On a one-day-Virginia road trip, we were looking through tap lists of local breweries trying to decide who had the best IPA line-up. Craftworx was an instant win, with their self-pour wall format, they had a solid selection of local crafts and 'visiting crafts' on tap-separated by region, not style (which was a nice way to focus on local They had snifters, pint glasses, & flight boards w. white marker systems making it easy to create our own bar experience with reasonable prices per ounce We didn't opt into food but enjoyed sitting in the back bar area to play darts while tasting our flight choices. The ambiance was great! The staff was super helpful-checking in on us, though we were all set-it was nice to small talk about favorite beer styles & recommendations. We self-toured the place, observing their great space area offering a bar seating general tap room vibe, a private party event space in the back, and a front classic bar area offering a lot of liquor choices- so overall there was something for everyone. They also had a great tab card system, where we checked in with our credit card, got our tab card, and no need to check out with staff as they offer easy tip jar variety drop boxes ranging from %10-20. Enjoy, drop, decide, and go. Would love if we were more local to frequent.

If you're in the area and looking for a place to relax or If you're in town for a show at Jiffy Lube Live then you should consider this place. It's about a ten-minute walk to JLL and is perfect for a pre-show beer. I was also impressed that despite their posted hours, they remained open after the show for those waiting on their Ubers. Pros: 1.) solid selection of local craft and domestics on tap. 2) nice selection of different types of drinks (pils, IPA, sour, porter, hef, wine, soda) 3.) staff is friendly and helpful. 4.) size is expansive and CLEAN. 5.) lots of food options Recommend: 1.) stay open just a few minutes later on concert nights at JLL (or offer a limited menu and beer offerings).

I decided to give Craftworx a try today after driving by so many times. The place was pretty empty even for lunch at 1 pm, so that worried me a bit in terms of the food they serve. The place is dimly lit and feels a bit like a cave but I was okay with that. The beer taps are self pour if you are coming to drink and the food menu is a QR barcode on the table you sit at and ordered through Toasttab and then someone will bring the food to your table. Very little interaction with the staff. Now on to the food and service. I ordered the Brisket sandwich, onion rings, and chips and Queso dip. The food arrived in less than 5 minutes and that is not a joke, I was half way through pouring a flight of 4 beers before it showed up to the table. The brisket sandwich was underwhelming in presentation and the brisket was over cooked and dry. It was chopped up like it was supposed to be a steak and cheese meat on a Wawa sandwich. So it did it no favors in the look of it. Dry, brown, and lacking flavor. I would not be surprised if it was heated in a microwave and then thrown on the roll. Did I mention how dry it was? It was so dry they could have used to to clean up a spill and it would not have left a drop of liquid behind. They give you a mound of brisket though, maybe 8-10 oz worth but again it looks like cheesesteak meat at Wawa. The onion rings were okay, served with a side of ranch. The chips and Queso were what is to be expected with a place like this, cold, unsalted, and the Queso from a can heated and served. It developed a film across it within minutes of arriving at the table. All in all the only thing that didn't suck was the beer. I now understand why the place was empty even at lunch time, maybe they are busy in the evenings after people have eaten at other restaurants and just want to drink afterwards. I will most likely return to drink beer here but I will never eat the food again in the place.

They do not have dart boards but they have some outside games like Cornhole when the weather permits.

I liked that the beer was self serve, so we didn't have to wait on somebody to check on our table in order to keep our glasses full and we could try several different beers.

Jimbo's Grill and BBQ - Thai chili Wings (8)

Jimbo's is a quintessential sports bar, thoughtfully split between a lively game‑watching side and…read morea quieter dining area--so you can choose your vibe without compromise. The menu goes well beyond standard bar fare, with several dishes that feel like real upgrades on the classics. We started with the OG BBQ pork potato skins, which were generous and packed with flavor. My wife enjoyed her pork schnitzel, though she felt the cut was a bit thicker than ideal. My Cincinnati chili, on the other hand, was exactly what I wanted on a cold winter day--rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. A great spot whether you're there for the game or just a solid meal.

Food: First time…read morehere and dined in. Truly enjoyed what we chose. We had the filet mignon sandwich which by itself sounds outstanding! It was served with fries that were a bit bland and soggy to our liking. But the sandwich was perfect even though I always want more protein on the sandwich. It was still made well and not lacking protein. The sandwich was served with an au jus that complimented the sandwich a bit. The fries took away from the sandwich as the sandwich was great and deserved to have a better side than what it was served with. We also ordered wings (bone in). We had an order of grilled mango habanero and jumbo fried Thai chili. My husband who does not even care of bone in wings loved these wings. These wings were a great size, flavorful, tender, and overall 10/10 if not more for how the wings were prepared and cooked. Probably the best quality wings I have ever had and for the price it was well worth it. I cannot wait to go back and have it again and try other options for the wings. Service, it seemed the establishment was understaffed and the two that were there were working very hard to accommodate everyone as best as they can. If the public cannot understand how businesses suffer in todays economy with lazy people, then do not come here if you cannot be understanding and patient. The two servers observed n a Thursday afternoon appeared over worked but doing their best to maintain good customer service. The ambiance is a neat environment. I would not mind coming again to try their breakfast or again for a lunch in the dining area. There is a bar area on another side where others seemed to be comfortable and enjoying themselves. Very cool place.

We ordered the…read morehot Italian, steak & cheese, and a kids burger with mac and cheese--everything came out fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The hot Italian had just the right kick, the steak & cheese was hearty and satisfying, and the kids meal didn't feel like an afterthought (always a win). The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting--definitely worth adding on. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff truly stood out--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. Easy spot to recommend for a casual, really solid lunch. Will definitely be back.

I don't usually write reviews the same day, but this was something unique. Let me first say there…read moreare not any fun and well done gastropubs in Gainesville, and this restaurant certainly stands to prove that point. Stereotypical decor and menu, Grains and Grog stood painfully empty on a Saturday afternoon playing music nostalgic to anyone who graduated high school before 2010. I ordered a Manhattan. Hallway through, looking down at the bottom of the glass, I saw two tiny flies floating at the bottom. As disgusted as one can reasonably be, I asked for another one to be made (why I bothered, I can't say. Maybe it was because I had already drank half). I found another small fly in the second before the server left the table. Another fly in the third as well. We didn't finish our meals for obvious reasons. They brought us the check, discounted the manhattans and 50% the check, though I didn't feel I should have paid anything. After paying the check, they said it was a mistake. They brought us the wrong one and would void the sale. The "correct" check they brought us was the full meal sans the 3 botched manhattans. We won't be going back
