Yet again, The Craftsman did not disappoint. Mykel (the owner) was onsite and even remembered me when I walked in -- a true sign of great ownership and hospitality. I introduced him to my wife, and we decided to sit at the bar. Holly and Julia took great care of us. Both were personable, attentive, and completely on point throughout our visit. We tried the queso dip with chorizo, zucchini fritters, and the dry rub wings -- every single item was delicious. Hats off to the chef. You really can't beat the vibe here. Close to the beach, clean atmosphere, attentive and friendly service, amazing food, and owners who add the kind of personal touch most establishments miss these days. I'll absolutely continue coming back for the food and beer. Do yourself a favor and stop in. Check out my previous review too -- that's how much I enjoy this place. Always have to give props to establishments that truly do it right.

I ordered their Left Coast Pastrami and it was definitely a hitter of a sandwich but it fell short from another pastrami sandwich I ordered at a different specialty sandwich shop I tried the fast before. Price value was higher than what I would've liked to spend on a sandwich and that's including with tip. The atmosphere of this place is lively. They have a spacious interior. Happy Hour is lacking. Only $2 off beer is sad. Try them out though! It might be more your flavor.

My wife and I were there to meet a friend for a beer and lunch, we were a few minutes ahead of our friend so we ordered our first beer, yum, a DBl IPA for me and Hazy for her. Once our friend arrived we ordered food and he got a beer that he liked, as well. The food was top notch and came out fairly quick considering they were getting very busy by now. Very clean place, and it feels very welcoming, music is a background level, so you can actually visit with someone and hear the servers when ordering or asking questions. Did I mention the beers were good, I took home some packs to go. Highly recommend, to anyone looking for good bar food and beer.

I personally was hoping they would have some food options or at least some non-alcoholic beverages other than cans of Coke and Fanta. The outdoor had one food truck and one bbq truck / stand. By the time we arrived in the evening around 5:30... the bbq truck was packing up and leaving so the only food option was the food truck. It was a Mediterranean food truck with French fries and shawarmas ... our party had about 7 kids and ... our experience there was pretty not kid friendly. There were barely anything for them to eat or drink other than French fries. Was hoping they had more options and choices for families. It was still a fun experience for us to hang out but .... If we came again we would need to bring our own food and snacks for the kids.

I especially like their breakfast burritos and have had good experiences here before. Unfortunately, this visit didn't quite go as planned. I ordered the ham and sausage burrito, which costs extra as a two-meat option, but when I got home it only had ham and no sausage. The burrito itself still tasted good, so this felt more like an order mistake than a quality issue. One thing to note is they charge a fee for credit card purchases, so cash might save you a little if you come often. Overall, still a solid local spot for a quick bite, especially breakfast, and I'll probably still come back.
