    Laurel Canyon Benedict
    Rich J.

    We had driven by this place a couple of times, but didn't hear much about it until a friend recently recommended it. We went in for breakfast today. Our server Jillian was excellent. We had the biscuits & gravy and the Laurel Canyon Benedict and both were very good. The coffee is superb! The new decor is a huge upgrade from the previous restaurant. The owners are actively involved in the day-to-day operations. They seem to have a really good thing going. Keep up the great work!!

    Chicken fried steak
    Brandy E.

    We were very impressed. Everyone greets you when you walk in. The staff is so nice and friendly even other waitstaff will stop by your table and ask if you need more coffee or drinks. My husband never ran out of tea which is a job it self! Larry was our waiter and he is the best! I had the chicken fried steak with fried potatoes, eggs, and fruit. Is was hand breaded, so tender, tasty and huge! I cut half of it off and gave it to my husband. He loved it too. He said his biscuits were light and fluffy. He said breakfast was wonderful and it was the best breakfast he had in a long time and that's saying a lot! He is a nit picker and always complains and he loves this place. I highly recommend coming here.

    Now this was a pleasant surprise. I grew up down the street and waffle way has always been here. Pretty strange walking in and it being gone. But this place? Amazing. The food, service and unsweet tea were great. The biscuits were some of the best I've ever had. Also the chicken was fried to perfection. They have a massive menu so you're bound to get what will satisfy your brunch needs. Can't wait to make it back!

    Veggie scramble, one biscuit with cream gravy, fruit bowl

    This place is like your personal chef cooked breakfast for you! The food is fantastic and the service is top notch! My first trip here but friends and family have raved about it. Of course I wanted to try it all but that wasn't possible. Deliciousness- veggie scramble, eggs Benedict, perfect potatoes, best ever biscuits, and a light, fluffy waffle were soooooo good. Thank goodness my partner in crime was with me so I could try everything! Mackenzie was delightful in helping us with choices and service. Owners Jenna and Geno (sp?) are the nicest people. Can't wait to go back!

    Blueberry pancakes with lemon curd

    Amazing food and service! I had the Alamo skillet and upgraded($) to blueberry pancakes with lemon curd- sooo good.

    Daytrip latte & Biscoff latte... both delicious
    Lili D.

    All things were great ...service, food is delicious, ambience too. Small place but you don't feel rushed at all, it was worth a short wait. Friendly staff, who gave great suggestions. Must try the Biscoff latte!!

    It's still a fairly new place, but we just tried it for the first time! It's a breakfast/ lunch only restaurant. The menu has a lot of good selections, however, I was surprised to see they don't offer omelettes. A very friendly place where we were greeted to seated immediately. Larry took care of us, did a great job. Pricing was in line with this type of place, but a little high for what I feel breakfast should cost. I got the All-Star skillet, at the cost of $17. It was two eggs, chopped bacon, sausage with onions and green peppers. However, it was about 50% small cube pieces of potato. I felt like there was way too much potatoes, and not enough of everything else, especially for $17! However, the presentation and flavor was good. My wife got the biscuits with gravy, which she said was excellent. Mine came with two large pancakes, which were also very good... served with hot syrup! There are windows on two sides, making it well lit. Everything looked brand new and clean! Definitely a small diner atmosphere. We liked it, however, we did not feel that it was anything which set it apart from many other places like this in Grapevine. As I was disappointment with my skillet dinner, that will likely not encourage me to come back. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try them!

    Imagine an old building, maybe an old Waffle House, that's been a few different restaurants over the years -- that's what it looks like when you pull up to Daytrip Diner. Not the most exciting first impression. But don't stop reading yet, because what's inside is actually really charming. I wasn't impressed with the outside, but the inside was everything I hope a diner would be: hardwood floors (except for the outline of the restaurant where there are charming tiles), modern booths that look like old-school booths, and tables and chairs that look like teak wood, another nod to mid-century furniture. The waitress was considerate, and engaging the whole time we were there. I never accept straws, and she got it, "Help save the turtles," she said. And I acknowledge her by relying, "This is exactly why I don't accept straws." We both understood each other. I am not much of a breakfast person, and the first time I come to a new restaurant I order scrambled eggs. This is my test. Daytrip Diner passed the test! The eggs were cooked perfect, and tasty. So many time scrambled eggs are over cooked and dry, but not here. This was a great experience and I look forward to coming back soon.

    Nestled in Grapevine, Daytrip Diner is a nice option when trying to get away from the big hotel experiences nearby. The wait staff were very friendly and were honest with the recommendations. The food was fresh, hot, and really good. When in Grapevine, I definitely plan on going back!

    OMG this place is amazing! The ambiance is that of a laid back diner. Our server was Kristen and she was awesome! The food was so good and coffee is the best I've ever had anywhere! We had the potatoes instead of the hash browns and they were super delicious and the bacon was extra good! I can't wait to come back for lunch. FYI this place gets crowded so come early!

    Plate sized pancakes!
    Misty K.

    I will give this place a 5 star for the friendliness alone. We were greeted at the door, taken to our seat and every single person from the staff to the customers felt like family. It reminds me of the diner in my home town where they know what you want before you sit down. Danny was our server and just lovely. She gave good suggestions and was very attentive. There was a good crowd in there and everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing. My husband devoured his pancakes and was very happy. The buttermilk biscuits are huge. My only thoughts were a little more spice to the sausage gravy. We will return I saw so many things I want to try and the ambiance is adorable!!! It's worth a stop in.

    Remember Cheers where everyone knew your name? Daytrip Diner is this place for us. The owners & staff make you feel so welcome. They TRULY CARE! The food & service is always excellent. I could eat there several times a week because there are so many items on the menu that I want to order! Daytrip Diner https://share.google/hAU7H3k9nD4WRqsBf

    Talk about knocking it out of the park!! This place is a hidden jewel. Home town, friendly from the moment you walk in the door. "The regulars" are called by their first names, very intentionally! Someone (the owner who is checking on customers as much as her staff) has trained their staff exceptionally well! Coffee is outstanding, food is incredibly fresh, served hot and ready, servers are as friendly as they come. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the decor is retro and just absolutely perfect. I absolutely LOVE this new find, I will be here often! This is a must try!

She led me back to the table with my friends and created some small talk on the way, so that was a nice change of pace, considering many people just point you on your way. We were seated near the back which seemed to be somewhat like an open kitchen feel, which I actually thought was pretty cool. Our waitress was very fast and helpful with picking out our foods based on our likes. Once the food came out, everyone seemed to really enjoy their meals, including myself. We started the table off with the biscuits and fried green tomatoes (demolished!). I kept it simple with the chicken and waffles (delicioius and crispy), which was a HUGE helping (yum!). Others at my table enjoyed the the shrimp and grits and WB chicken sandwich. No complaints heard from them! Overall, I really enjoyed the ambiance, the food, the service, and the experience I had for my first time there. Would come back again for dinner to see if there is a difference.

    Moving to Texas a while back, a friend said "never underestimate a restaurant in a strip mall"…read more Craftway Kitchen in Southlake isn't exactly in a strip mall, but in the outlot of a few big box retailers. We've driven past Craftway Kitchen more than a few times, always intrigued with a 'we have to try that place sometime'. Saturday night was sometime. Taking our chances as a party of three walk in's, the restaurant was full inside, and there were a few tables open on the patio. I generally don't like to eat on patios, because flies show up, etc. Not at Craftway... not sure what they were doing, but there wasn't a fly or other flying bug around. The patio wasn't just clean, it was meticulous. Welcoming too - It felt very much like an extension of the restaurant. Alex, our waiter was quick to bring water and menus. Returning to take drink orders, a margarita was ordered as was a glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. Drinks were quickly served. Water was never allowed to become empty. Alex asked if we had ever been to Craftway, we informed him this was our first visit. His ask "any allergies?" to which we said no. He disappeared, returning with an appetizer sampling plate with three items - the Reuben egg rolls, crab stuffed mushrooms, and blue cheese chips. All were fantastic! Three entrees ordered, the Chicken & Fig sandwich, Chicken Milanese and the Cajun pasta with Chicken. Food arrived; each entree was fantastic. Cooked to perfection, flavors were amazing. Dessert, shared, was a bread pudding with ice cream, a perfect finish. Alex never let beverages become empty, delivered superb service. The Chef circulated the room checking on satisfaction and chatting with patrons. Giving Craftway Kitchen a very well deserved 5-star rating. The staff did everything right! Departing, we talked about what we will order next time. We will be back to Craftway Kitchen!

The portions are also huge Our server was wonderful from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and checked on us often without being overbearing. The service was honestly the best part of the experience. We started with the Sichuan calamari, and this was easily the highlight of the meal. It was perfectly crispy, the glaze had just the right amount of sweetness and heat, and the seasoning gave it a nice kick without overpowering the calamari. It was one of the best calamari dishes I've had and definitely raised my expectations for everything that followed. Next was the tenderloin bruschetta, and unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. The flavors didn't come together, and it was much saltier than it needed to be. It felt like there were too many things happening on the plate without much balance. I wouldn't order it again. For the entrées, the Chilean Sea Bass was very good. The fish was flaky and cooked well, the risotto was creamy, and the sauce brought everything together without being too heavy. It was one of the stronger dishes we ordered. The lobster stuffed ravioli was another solid choice. The filling was generous, there was plenty of lobster on top, and the vodka sauce complemented everything nicely without taking over. It was rich but still well balanced. We also tried the New Zealand rack of lamb. This one had mixed reviews at our table. It wasn't as tender as I was hoping, but I didn't dislike it and again I didn't love it! The blackened exterior and the wine reduction gave it good flavor, but it just wasn't particularly memorable. My favorite entrée ended up being the tomahawk pork chop. The pork itself was juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well. I wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple bourbon glaze since I didn't think it added much to the dish, but the quality of the meat made up for it. We also had the strawberry spinach salad, which was fresh and a nice lighter option alongside all the richer dishes. Then there was also a side dish with green beans and almond and again no complains there. Overall, I left feeling a little conflicted. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, and the portions were very generous. The food itself was a mix of really good dishes and others that completely missed the mark. After such an incredible start with the calamari, I expected the rest of the meal to be on the same level, but it just never got there. I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd rush back to.
