    Having enjoyed their food truck previously and Taft Rd, brick and mortar, I decided to try their…read morenew Fayetteville location. Walking into the old Gino's Cheese location, it was like a Deja Vu. Other than some decorations changing it was the same. Bar on the right, offering great craft beers and a full bar service, tables as you walk in with booths against the wall. Took an order to go for dinner, but change of plans, lunch the next day. Food Mini Empanadas 2 beef & cheese, 2 chicken & cheese hand rolled empanadas with house-made cilantro lime crema dipping sauce. However, no dipping sauce was included but they were still very good and reheated in our air fryer. Spouse had the chipotle chicken burrito, also loaded and excellent. I enjoyed the Cali Style Birria Burrito Cajun fries (instead of rice) Birria beef, onion, cilantro, cheese, and crema wrapped in a burrito consome, and lime on the side. Burrito was stuffed only half eaten. Saved other half, that delicious. Worth the trip to Fayetteville. Private parking lot. Service was very good. Even had a beer while waiting for our order to go.

We started with chips and salsa and the salsa was extremely spicy. Our waitress didn't mention this before we ordered it and my entire party couldn't even eat it. I ordered the birria tacos and asked for coconut rice instead of yellow rice. My order came out and they gave me yellow rice and no consommé. Someone else in my party got coconut rice and I tried hers. It was cold and clumpy. (Definitely not like their old location, where everything was fresh and delicious). Another person in my party said her food was cold and mentioned it to our server. Our server told one of the other workers and he rudely replied "the food was hot when it came out". Unfortunately the owner wasn't there and she ran a tight ship at the previous location where I never had a bad experience. The location has a cool vibe with an inviting atmosphere but it was an extremely disappointing.

This place is perfect for the Sport's enthusiast as there are TV's on every wall pretty much, for fans to catch their favorite teams playing. There is also, a separate room off the bar area for large gatherings. Our waiter was warm and friendly. He took our order promptly.... we waited and waited for our food to come out. Mind you we ordered two sandwiches and a bowl of soup. The soup came out and again we waited. Unfortunately, all we got to try was the soup as we had an event we had to get to as our sandwiches when asked were not prepared. Sometimes things happen when you run a business and it is how you handle them that is the difference between just a restaurant and a great restaurant. This restaurant would earn five stars on just how things were handled. Kudos go to the staff there.... The French Onion soup we had for me was not my cup of tea as it was over seasoned and had way too many croutons which between the seasoning and bread overpowered the soup. My partner in crime thought it tasted OK and proceeded to devour the soup so will leave that up to you to decide LOL !!!!

To say It was Great is an Understatement, to say They Accommodated this large group with Grace and Attention is an Understatement. Growing up, most of us, Multi generational in the Village, and HAVING THIS GATHERING PLACE we All Call Home- was beyond Accommodating, Inviting, and Welcoming.

    The drink menu is always well done at Craftsman. I enjoyed the Dew Me Dirty cocktail although I…read moredidn't think it had as much raspberry flavor as I expected from the description. My friend really enjoyed a sangria drink as well. I ordered a burger with chips instead of fries - it came out with fries that were SO good and crisp I decided to just keep them and was quite satisfied. Our server (Evian?) was amazing, patient and gracious and gave personalized service for a group of 10+. She even took a picture for us! The manager came to check in during our meal as well. My ongoing complaint with Craftsman is the ambiance. It is gorgeous inside, the patio is pretty okay, but I have never been a comfortable temperature there...either way too hot or way too cold! I recognize that could be personal preference or a seasonal issue but it's been my experience more than once. They are currently doing some construction in the hall outside the bathrooms. I personally think it is a little overpriced but what they offer is higher quality than some similarly priced restaurants in the area so it doesn't deter me, I just know when I'm there I'll spend a bit.

As for our dine in experiences, we go with the Caesar salad and Dolce Pesto pizza. I've gotten it both in a 12" and 18" size and both were equally delicious. The bar is quick, we like to sit at the tables in that space and have a glass of wine and a beer with our meal. So delicious and always have leftovers to bring home!

Started with Dolce Pesto Pizza | A harmonious blend of pesto and vodka sauces, artfully layered and topped with fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheese, then finished with our signature house spice blend for a perfect touch of flavor small pizza with sausage add. It was amazing. Beet Salad | Beet salad served over mixed greens with pickled onion, goat cheese, and walnuts, topped with olive oil, spouses favorite salad. Chicken Prosciutto | Egg-battered chicken, fresh mozzarella prosciutto di parma over rigatoni with a lemon butter sauce. Oh so delicious. Excellent flavor and an excellent choice. Haddock | Fresh haddock, prepared Française served with change to asparagus and potatoes. Was another great choice. Spouse really enjoyed it.

    Came in wanting to try something new and we like to judge things for ourselves. Unfortunately the…read moredrink selection for mixed drinks was very poor, only had 12 bottles total! mostly vodka from the looks of it and only one whiskey aka Jameson. Whiskey sour wasn't doable, bartender didn't even know what it was so my fiance got a vodka and cranberry. A double cost $6 and my soda was free (someone's gotta drive) Interesting crowd of what I assume were regulars. Definitely a dive bar with a dim lit interior of Christmas lights and a few ceiling fans. Music machine BLASTING. Good music playing and had a cheers tv show like atmosphere but with a smell of smoke in the air. Pool table and a dart board but you couldn't easily play both at once without being in each other's way. Glad we tried it once but not for us unfortunately based on mixed drink selection. Definitely a beer joint. And it's cash only but they have an atm. Had a drink and went on our way.

    This is a typical dive looking bar with reasonable prices. The customers and staff were appalling!!…read moreThere was one obvious bartender and another guy behind the bar I was not sure what his job was other than to constantly grope the other bartender. He was rude and drunk and I even saw him spit in a woman's face for no reason. When the lady next to the woman expressed concern about that a man claiming to be the owner said pretty much deal with it or get the fuck out. There were women offering prostitution services and dancing with their pants down. The bartender took 4 times to make a drink correct that had ingredients in it. This, in my opinion is not a safe bar to be in.

    Last review was 7 years ago and Scenic Root is still out here doing their thing and doing it well…read more We've been going since the early days and it's one of those places you just know is going to be good every time. I ordered the tropical salmon and was side eyeing the coconut a little, but wow... it all came together perfectly. Sweet, tangy, and the salmon was cooked exactly right. Service never disappoints, and whoever was behind the bar deserves a shoutout because that blackberry margarita was dangerous. I went back for round two and I'm not sorry about it. Dessert was a dense chocolate cake that didn't even last long enough for a photo, which says everything. Consistently good food, fabulous drinks, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like family.

    I have had Scenic Root on my "must go" list forever it seems, so was excited to finally check it…read moreout. We had an amazing meal and definitely made for a great date night! We ordered the bang bang shrimp appetizer, and the batter was so crispy and also fluffy (almost like a battered haddock but lighter) - awesome! The bang bang sauce has great flavor, but slightly too mayo forward for my preferences - but ate it up nonetheless and would get them again! I also ordered a blackberry margarita- which I will say was strong, but the flavors were great. When I asked if they minded giving me a couple Slices of lemon and some simple syrup (and yes I admitted that it was a ME problem, not that they made it poorly- it was just stronger and I'm a big wimp!) , they promptly, no questions asked said "we got this" and put the drink back in the shaker and added some simple syrup (mind you I was totally fine with just a little shot glass of it to dump in my drink!) - so the willingness to be so helpful was very appreciated. As for our entrees, one of us ordered the Cajun Alfredo and one of us ordered the Tropical Salmon, both were made incredibly well, and the flavor and seasoning was fantastic! The Alfredo sauce when I tried it was lovely, not so thick and "artery clogging" as some Alfredo can be, but coated the noodles beautifully and packed a flavorful punch. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the pineapple and coconut in the rice made for an amazingly delicious dish. We were also fortunate to sit at a window overlooking the swan pond and then take a nice walk around the pond. So lovely- cannot wait to go back!!
