Wanted to try something new, and, since I liked the reviews for this place, I figured I'll give it a shot. The ambiance is classy but laid back. The Service was outstanding thanks to Hayley. Her recommendations for pairing the drinks with the food were flawless, and each drink was prepared like a work of art. I started with the raw oysters, paired with a glass of Rose, which I loved. They switched from the Halibut with Fennel to Mahi with Forbidden Rice. The rice is black and inky and potent and extraordinary, but it overwhelmed the fish completely. Still greatful I got to experience it, but I would pair it with something more gamy like lamb or goat. The Pecan pie with warm salted caramel ice cream was nothing short of a spiritual experience, and Hayley's recommendation to pair it with Rum Flip was perfect. Yes, I Ubered. Overall, this one is going to be a frequent hangout.
One of me and my sisters favorite girl dinners!!! They never let us down and the service is great. Yes we basically ordered the whole menu but we had a party of 4 The manager even came to our table and spoke to us while even remembering our name. Personal touch always wins me over. 10/10 every time and I'll always recommend!
Loved dining at the crunkelton! Such an elegant place. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by the hoste and we were seated immediately. Our waitress, Ashley, was fantastic, super nice and helpful. We had the tomahawk steak which was cooked to perfection, the Mac and cheese was delicious and the street corn was sweet, sour with a kick of spicy. Highly recommend it
Went for round two and a girl dinner at The Crunkleton. They have the best bar service, every bartender is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I started with a half dozen raw oysters. They were fresh and salty, just how I like! I settled on the She Crab soup and fries. The soup was super rich, light on the lump crab but heavy on the cream. It has kick from the chili oil but it definitely helps cut on the heavy cream.
This is a perfect place to go for date night or a girls night out. This restaurant is strategically placed on the outskirts of Glenwood Avenue. The aesthetics of this place were top tier and so was the service. I ordered the hanger steak (medium cook) , subbed the fries for the Mac and cheese, and got a side of broccolini. The steak was seasoned perfectly but it was a little chewy and it was slightly overcooked. Nonetheless it had really great flavor. The Mac and cheese was my favorite part of the dish- it had the right amount of cheese and was nice and creamy. The broccolini was good but nothing to rave about. My sister ordered the beignets and omg it was to die for. Unfortunately I am limiting my sugar intake so I only indulged in one but I very well could have eaten all 8 happily.
Raleigh's The Crunkleton has been on my radar for a while, so when a friend and I decided to have a business dinner there, I was excited to finally experience it firsthand. While reservations initially seemed impossible to snag, a spot opened up on the waitlist, and we secured a 5:30 p.m. seating, perfect timing and highly recommended. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky if you are hoping for street spots, but a deck across the street at Publix and several paid lots within walking distance make it manageable. The moment I arrived, I was welcomed by a warm and personable host, and shortly after, Julie greeted me at the table with attentiveness that immediately set the tone for the evening. I mentioned my friend was running a few minutes late, and she graciously ensured I was comfortable while waiting. Though an espresso martini was not on the menu, Julie cheerfully accommodated my request. When my friend arrived, we ordered drinks, my friend opting for a tequila-forward cocktail, and began exploring the menu. Though compact, it offered all the elements you would hope for in a thoughtful, curated dining experience. I went for half-price oysters, a Caesar salad, and fries, while my friend chose the piccata. The Caesar was excellent, though it had a subtle twist that did not fully win me over; the fries, on the other hand, were perfectly crisp, and the espresso martini did not disappoint. The space itself is far more intimate than I anticipated, and it filled up quickly, giving the evening a cozy, lively energy. Impeccably clean and clearly cared for by its staff, The Crunkleton balances attention to detail with a warm, approachable vibe. Overall, it is a solid choice for a business dinner or casual night out, offering attentive service, thoughtful cocktails, and a menu that hits just the right notes.
I think this spot is a solid addition to Smokey Hollow. We walked in on a Sunday early evening and were able to snag a table even though all the reservations were booked. Both the hostess and our server were friendly throughout the evening. We got the hanger steak which was a solid portion, but a little tough. It did have great flavor though. We also tried the brussel sprouts, which were good, but the steak had asparagus too so we didn't need the extra side. The risotto with the steak was great. We also got the fig and pear salad, and while tasty didn't seem to have any figs. I think the interior is nice, parking is easy in the garage, would definitely head on in again!
I went here for my husband's birthday celebration and the service was amazing. The restaurant had a wonderful metropolitan feel with open bar view and hand crafted cocktails. They offer a variety of food options from shareable, small plates, and entrees. The open fire grill influenced us to try the steak frites. All of steak were cooked to temperature and seasoned perfectly. My only issue was the pricing of some of the menu items. I think this spot is better suited for its cocktails and small plates for the price point.
Came here with a team after work and was frankly disappointed. The atmosphere is fun with a great bar in view and the staff were friendly but the food was just okay. I ordered a wedge salad and a gluten free bun with my burger and fries. The wedge salad stole the show for me! It was delicious and it was LARGE several of us enjoyed it which is good to know as it would have been way too much for just one person. Then I got the waygu beef burger with a gluten free bun. First the bun was not good in my opinion one of the worst GF buns I've ever been given. I should have gone with the lettuce wrap or just no bun at all. The meat was fine but nothing special it was cooked well just lacked flavor. Honestly, there are several other places close by I think that I would try before coming here again.
This is a really nice spot for Date night, girls night, a little family night, just anything really. The staff are really nice and the restaurant is really pretty. They have a wall of alcohol so drink up. I'm going to start backwards because desert was so yum. The beignets with cold brew icing is a must try. These were so good. I didn't know what to expect but they were warm and soft. We finished them all. Next up the Cowboy Pork chop and the Dry Aged NY Strip cooked Med. Pork chop was very well seasoned. The Strip could have used some finishing salt. Both proteins came with a grilled half of garlic, half a bubble garlic, and that garlic was on point The Sides, parmesan garlic, herb fries, nice and hot perfection. Hearth vegetables they were awesome. This was a combination of tri-colored carrots and turnips, cooked al dente and chopped chunky just my style of vegetables. The seventh Street corn. This is kind of I guess they play on Mexican street corn it was OK. I was indifferent on the corn. We also had the calamari which was really good as well . So if you like Steak and pork Chop add this one to the list.
Enjoyed dinner with family from out of town. This is definitely more of a date night spot. Love the cocktail lounge ambiance. Started off with the Old Fashioned and my husband had the Monte Carlos - both were good, but his was a little better. For dinner, I had the fig and pear salad and split the hanger steak with my daughter. Unlike the complaints from other reviewers, the salad had lots of figs and the pear was adequate. It had a tiny too much dressing for me, but I still enjoyed it. The hanger steak was good with the exception of a few gristly pieces toward the end, and the fries were great. We ended with the beignets, which were the table favorite. They were really doughy, but I think that's part of what everyone liked. The sauce on them was amazing! Now for the service, it was not great. The timing of everything was so off. Dare I say, the food came out too quickly. Dinner was served before I could finish my cocktail and salad. Then, my husband ordered a beer when his meal came and it was forgotten and by the time he got it, he was done eating.
A friend and I decided to check out Crunkleton based on the reviews from yelp and a co-worker. It's in a great location in Downtown Raleigh. Not in the midst of the chaos, but close enough to have some variety if you need it. I forgot to make a reservation so we decided to take a chance and be open to bar seating. Luckily we were able to snag a seat at the kitchen bar. We had a front row seat into the prep kitchen and crew doing their thing. It was cool to watch and helpful when we had a questions about our dishes. Our server was nice. She didn't lead with any recommendations, but happily provided some and answered questions when asked. As you can see, I gave the place 3 stars. I was just completely unimpressed with the food that I ordered. I started with the Fig & Pear side salad. The arugula was fresh, but they were stingy with the digs. I only had two small ones on my plate. The vinegarette needed a little bit of sweetness to tone down the acidity of the vinegar. It was intense with the pepperyness of the arugula. For my main entrée I went with the NY Strip and subbed the broccolini for Charred Brussel sprouts. I also ordered an extra side of street corn just to try. The steak was medium like i requested, but it was a bit flavorless and flabby. The NY strip is my favorite cut. It's what I buy and prepare for my family. The one that I was served was difficult to cut and had excessive amounts of fat. That wasn't the least bit rendered. They could have spent a little more time cooking the fat on the perimeter of the steak. Also the bordelaise was runny and seemed to be what ruined the steak texture after it was removed from the open flame. The Brussel sprouts had great flavor but I found them to be too wet. Whether it was from oil or the water bordelaise from the steak. The texture somehow got ruined. The risotto was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and flavored. The street corn had too much lime and mayo. Would have been good otherwise. There was an issue with our drink order at the bar so the waitress brought us complementary beignets to make up for it. The icing was supposed to be cold brew flavored. It was, but it was very subtle. The beignets were still a little doughey in the center, but overall were fluffy and delicious. I didn't taste my friend's food but she ordered the half dozen of raw oysters and the chicken piccata. She raved about both!! I'll give them one more try, but for the price that I paid for my steak, I expected better!!

The Crunkleton has a stylish, energetic atmosphere, good food, and great drinks, so I completely understand why it's always busy. I'd heard so many positive things about the Chapel Hill location after moving to the area, but never made it over there. When they opened a location much closer to home, I was thrilled to finally give it a try without having to trek across town. The food has been consistently good, the cocktails are well-made, and the service is generally solid. That said, the experience can be a little hit-or-miss at times. I've visited several times now, and there have been occasions where the pacing felt off. Shareable dishes sometimes arrive at awkward intervals, creating a game of table Tetris, and I've seen situations where most of a party receives their meals while one person is left waiting. I suspect it's largely dependent on how busy they are and perhaps still some lingering growing pains. Pro tip: I've had some of my best experiences sitting at the bar. Service tends to feel more attentive, and it's a great spot to enjoy both the food and cocktails. read more

Visit #2 On this visit tonight the hostess was extremely pleasant and welcoming when I arrived. I enjoyed the market fish and potatoes this evening along with my elderberry sour. Cunkleton has yet to miss a beat with the food. The service of one particular waiter (Praddy P on the receipt) wasn't the best this evening. Seemed annoyed by my questions. Lacked common helpfulness. The waiter tone quickly turned very hasty. Not asking allergies. No water refills. Slow check ins, if any. I noticed a more pleasant demeanor, more attention, carefully asking about allergies and making small talk with the couple seated next to me. I definitely wasn't given the same level of treatment. These are concerning differences. I believe all guest deserve the same level of attention. The difference in the approach taken with me and the guest I observed this waiter assisting felt racially profiled to me. I haven't experienced this before but perhaps everyone I encountered in my previous visit was just pleasant to all customers. The Crunkleton should have a coaching with this individual. This is 2025, not the 1860s. I definitely did not read this wrong! read more

Looking for a downtown Raleigh restaurant with great food and cocktails? The Crunkleton in Smoky Hollow surprised me I came mostly for dinner and the food absolutely delivered. Elevated comfort dishes, a cozy atmosphere, and craft cocktails that make it perfect for date night or a night out in Raleigh servers are always so nice read more

My friend and I stopped by Crunkleton to grab a quick drink. We were waiting for a local night market to start nearby. I ordered the Mai Tai, which was strong and fruity. My friend order another cocktail but now for the life of me, I can't remember what drinks she ordered. She really liked both that she ordered tho! Very nice decor inside. Definitely looks like a high-end dinner night spot. I'd come back to try out the menu next time I'm in the Raleigh area. read more

My husband and I went for a date night at the new Crunkleton downtown and cannot stop singing their praises. We sat at the bar and were well taken care of by Steven, he greeted us and gave us a thorough introduction into Gary Crunkleton's newest concept, bourbon sourcing and collection. The cocktail menu is carefully curated including the famous Paper Plane, from Chicago's Violet hour. We ordered the Mussels to start, which were divine! Be sure to order extra bread to sop up the broth. We split the waygu burger with truffles fries for dinner. It was melt-in-your-mouth and one of the best burgers I've had in Raleigh. Don't skip the dessert - Flourless chocolate torte was rich and decadent. read more

Wow! Overwhelmed by this AMAZING place! We sat at the bar which was THE BEST experience! Pace made our visit truly incredible. He was so personable and friendly. He taught us "all the things" while we watched him craft his delicious and artful cocktails. We asked a million questions. It was like going to visit your best friend after long time of not seeing each other. So much fun. We ordered the Tomahawk. Not only was the steak the perfect temperature but it was seasoned beautifully. The chef spoke to us TWICE. He was over the top friendly and thankful we loved his food. Thanked us for coming and of course encouraged us to come back and let him take care of us. we also ordered beignets! Yes. They were incredible. We will come back and recommend this place to EVERYONE we know. But we will go in at 5 right when they open and sit in the bar every single time. Their lineup of bartenders is off the hook. Crazy pedigrees. It shows in their craftsmanship. Watching the chef cook is a really nice touch. Their music is also a fantastic mix of mellow and upbeat and isn't stuffy. It's so gross to go into an establishment that is "nice" and hear "smooth jazz" or something even more mellow. Catering to the idea that the only people who eat at nice restaurants are rich and old. This perfectly lit restaurant is perfect for those EXCITED to come and celebrate their love for food. This was happy, mellow music with an upbeat flair. Very Nice. If you are looking for "THE BEST PLACE" to celebrate an occasion or just have a realllly good meal "THIS IS THE PLACE!" read more

Ambiance was great. Came for a birthday and then made it special- birthday card, delish dessert. The host was the best part of the experience. She was so friendly, energetic and amazing! Ordered the tomahawk steak with extra sides. Presentation was wow. However, the steak was very tough and chewy. It was cooked medium rare and still almost impossible to cook. I am going to write it off as a not so good cut of meat and would return to give it another try. read more

Service and food are great. The chairs are horrendously uncomfortable. They aren't deep or wide enough. If you have any hips/backside, you're in for an uncomfortable experience. They don't have anywhere for your purse which is a problem at the high tops. Also, don't buy the tomahawk steak if it's not Tuesday. They let us know after we ordered and as they were serving the food that it's half price on Tuesdays. Besides that snd the very uncomfy chairs, the experience was good. read more

My dinner at The Crunkleton exceeded my expectations and delivered a pleasant dining experience across the board. Our server was attentive and very communicative which is what I value a lot when it comes to service quality. They are accommodating of allergy requests and were able to make sure the dishes came out safe and satisfactory. I enjoyed my cocktail and was delighted at the presentation. The small crunchy ice style is a bonus if you enjoy this type of unique ice in drinks like I do. The ambiance has a sleek and modern Southern vibe. It checks the boxes if you're looking for a cool new date night spot! read more

The atmosphere is very relaxing with good vibes. We were celebrating my birthday during brunch hours. The manager was very professional, friendly and attentive. I loved everyone's hospitality and customer service!! The food was a bit mediocre. My favorite was the espresso martini (especially the description) and the beignets. Some said the oysters were good. The shrimp and grits were ok. The spicy chicken sandwich lacked flavor as well as the hash browns. The burger was simple. Despite the missing flavor, I'm willing to give it another try. Especially since brunch was new. Next time, I want dinner! read more
