Brandon H.

Was pleasantly surprised by how good the Waygu Burger. While it was messy to hold, the flavors were great and I didn't put it down after my first bite. Service was also quick, it came out within 5-7 minutes. Definitely recommend to anyone in the McGinley square area and beyond in JC.

Work gave us $20 door dash gift certificates for lunch and this is when i like to try new local restaurants. Monday lunch was with Crave and we will be ordering again from here! Due to other reviews online , ordered the salmon burger Alaskan Goddess and wow lots of flavor and not greasy. Such a full meaty salmon burger definitely understand why named Goddess for its Goodness!! Nothing dripped as in grease from burger only thing would have like the bread toasted a lil longer .. the secret sauce and the lettuce was so crunchy it hit the spot. Fries were a large order cup and so fresh and you can tell hand cut for real!! Can't wait to try a beef burger next!

Best burger ever!!! So good! We came all the way from Arizona and we will make this place a must stop and eat from now on!! Thank you!!

Great Burger Spot! Great hospitality! Highly recommend trying their Raspberry & Zeus Tears Tea! DELICIOUS!

Impossible Beyond burger 2.0 Fresh cut fries Zeus Tears house made 60/40

I just moved down the street from this place and will be going here for lunch 5 days a week from now on. I'm not a beef eater so I thought I'd see if they had chicken sandwiches but instead I tried the IMPOSSIBLE DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER. In 7 years of not eating beef I've tried my share of impossible alternatives and veggie burgers. This was by far the BEST one I've ever had. The fries were delicious and the house made tea was FIRE. 10/10 highly recommend. If they can nail an incredible meat alternative burger I can only imagine how amazing the other menu burgers are! Pleasant and kind staff as well :) good eats here !

This place is amazing. The service is excellent and really friendly. The food is fantastic. I had the Crave signature burger which was so tasty, with really nice salad and exceptionally well presented. The cost is excellent and reasonable. I can't wait to return to try their delicious looking deserts. Very highly recommended.

If you live in JSQ, you know you're hard pressed to find a good burger... Crave!'s Majestic Burger made my day! Cheesecake is delicious too.. Priced similarly to Five Guys, but this burger definitely a tier above. They tell you at the counter it's going to be about 10mins but the restaurant location is quiet enough for me not to mind, plus you know you can't rush a good burger!

Perfect dinner. Fresh greens. Salmon was flavored well and not heavy or greasy. And the onions were a great addition. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Christian P.

Love this place! The food was so good I'll be coming back at least once a week the people are nice and will accommodate you with any requests. I don't like raw onions and they took the time to sauté some for me. 10/10 must go!

While no longer a brick and mortar, still hands down some of the best burgers. Love the fries... fresh cut and crispy. Love the no beef options. Be sure to check out their food truck... They are stationed outside 902 Brewing Co in J.C. read more

This had gotta be one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had in my life! We got the American wagyu burger, and we were obsessed. The buns were perfectly toasted. It was sweet with a hint of sweetness. The sauce makes this burger dreamy. It was rich but not overpowering. It didn't take away the rich flavor of the wagyu. The real star was the burger patty. It was well-seasoned but still maintained a beefy wagyu flavor. It was juicy with a hint of the charred aroma from the cast iron. Man...this burger was perfect. Unpopular opinion, the size of this burger was perfect for me. I like my burger in bite-able size. Oh! Don't forget to get the fries. read more

In honor of black history month AND womens history month I finally made my way to Crave Burger Cafe. I was lucky to be there when both the co-owners were the only 2 working. I didn't ask if they were husband and wife but would be totally cute if they are. They had signs making it very clear patience is required as meals are made fresh upon order. As I waited for my to-go order I noticed the condiments along the entire bar wall. The Himalayan salt was so iconic to see! I personally don't recall ever seeing a fast food burger joint serve Himalayan salt as table condiments. Nice standout. They also have a cigar selection, which I found interesting (or oddly random). But, hey, get your coins! Lol The Food: I don't like these type of fries; they were cooked fresh however & overflowing. If you like 5 Guys or The Great Steak fries, you'll like these. I'm more of a McDonald's/Chikfila gal in terms of fast food French fries. The burger was good! The marinade they grill the burger in mixed with their special sauce on top was a tasty combination. They had flyers--a rarity these digital days, so I took one & posted it in my community. No matter my preference, I'll always share a good black owned or black woman owned business with others to encourage at least one try. Go, enjoy read more

The juiciest and most delicious burger in town. I like to consider myself a burger connoisseur and I know a good burger when I have one. I had the wagyu burger and it was sooo tasty with the gouda cheese, pickles, grilled onions and the HOUSE SAUCE! We also got their raspberry tea and I was pleasantly surprised I liked the taste of it because I'm not a fan of tea. To top it all off the customer service was great my boyfriends son dropped his top bun and the lady came right over without us even having to ask took his bun and promptly brought him a new one. The fries are also bomb! I highly recommend ordering from here and giving it a try for yourself! read more

Ordered their Majestic Burger (double patties) with cheese and a side of fries and all of it was truly delicious.

They were cooked really well. The omelet was simple but filling. Unfortunately they were out of matcha so I just had a regular tea instead. They do offer some alternative milks for drinks which is nice. With some extra help this place would be great on a busy weekend day, but otherwise expect to be waiting a bit...

Not only are the…read moreportions generous, but the texture is also incredibly smooth and silky, without any icy crystals or a hard, frozen consistency. Holding it or tasting it gives a substantial, high-quality feel. However, the consequence is that even the staff struggles to scoop it out with their spherical ice cream scoops, let alone the disposable plastic spoons provided to customers. Green Tea: The highest praise Chinese people can give for desserts--not sweet--and it truly tastes like green tea, not matcha. The refreshing bitterness was incredibly pure, even bordering on slightly bitter, which is extremely rare in the US. Vanilla Peanut Butter: Very milky, but extremely salty, like eating peanut butter spread on bread. The vanilla flavor was almost completely masked. Coconut & Cream: I've always trusted American coconut ice cream, but this time it was a bit of a disappointment. The cream completely overshadowed the coconut, so much so that it took me a long time to recall what flavor I actually ordered. Ube: One bite brought back childhood memories, exactly the same as the ube flavor Wuyang五羊 ice cream cone. It was so touching I didn't order this in the end since I want to try more flavors as possible. I don't know why, but ube flavor seems to be gradually fading in China... Blueberry Cheesecake: The initial taste was a rich, sweet cream, with a refreshing hint of blueberry tartness in the aftertaste. It's pretty good, but honestly, it's not particularly outstanding. Banana Peanut Butter Chunk: The staff recommended this signature dish, and it once again made me realize how subjective taste can be... It's on the sweeter and saltier side, with a very strong flavor, but more importantly, it has a noticeable artificial banana flavor.

There's so many yummy flavors - it's hard to choose! I ultimately went with the rocky road (my classic favorite) and the cheesecake with rainbow sprinkles (because why not!?) and enjoyed every bite! I think the rocky road could've used more marshmallows but that's my personal preference for my favorite childhood fave ice cream. Service was great and allow you to try a couple flavors if you're unsure which is great as not all ice cream spots makes the flavors the same! It's only street parking so get ready to search for that when you come to visit - but it's worth it! And read street signs so you don't get towed or ticketed.

While ordering, they happened to bring out fresh blueberry muffins that were hard to resist. It was the best blueberry muffin I'd ever had and I still think about it to this day.

Although the potatoes weren't crispy, they were seasoned so well along with the mushrooms. There was a generous portion of avocado and the salad was a nice light addition. On our second visit, my husband really enjoyed his coquito latte. The turkey balt was SO good, I just wished it were served with chips. Regardless, Maggie's will definitely be a go to place for breakfast or lunch.

One thing I'd suggest is to get the tables away from the restroom, since they're not regular doors.

The place gets packed for sure, it super cute.

I had an amazing experience at Crave Burger Cafe! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the classic cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, and I was blown away by the quality and flavor of the meal. The burger was cooked to perfection with juicy and flavorful beef, and the cheese was perfectly melted. The bun was soft and toasted just right. The sweet potato fries were crispy and delicious, with just the right amount of seasoning. The atmosphere of the cafe was clean and inviting, with comfortable seating and modern decor. It was a great place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends and family. Overall, I highly recommend Crave Burger Cafe. The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other amazing burgers and sides!" read more
