Excellent. We had the bacon appetizer, MehThe Bowtie (with beer battered Mahi Mahi), YUMSweet potato chips with aioli, YUM Tuna Taco, YUM, Greens, YUMchips and queso, YUMchild’s Mac and cheese quesadilla, YUMLoads of flavor in every dish and sauce. We are a family of four and it is hard to please all but Crafted nailed it! Great service We loved it and will be back!
Fantastic restaurant, will be back.. Everything I had here is fantastic, and the wait was completely worth it.That being said, Crafted either needs to open a second restaurant or relocate to handle the high demand and popularity of the restaurant. It’s affordable, the food is fresh and the wait staff is very nice. Needing an additional (or larger) location is honestly a good problem to have.
Totally unimpessed. Service was pretty good but that’s the only positive thing I can say. Even if dinner had been given to me, that would not have made it any better. Never ever going back.
Wonderful dinner. FANTASTIC dinner there last night!!! Such a varied and unique menu. Willing to make the drive over from Clemmons it was that good.
Not Quite Great. I’d really like to give Crafted a nice recommendation. They do some things well and their ideas are generally good, but their food doesn’t quite hit the mark for me. Here’s what I can recommend at Crafted: the Fixie — a beef brisket taco topped with grilled pineapple, sweet chili sauce, and coconut aioli. Generally a bit drippy, but still a tasty combination. Also, I like their guacamole, which is chunky and has a nice balance of cilantro and zingy bite. I’d suggest ordering it as your side for the extra $1 if you decide to try it. Otherwise, I can also recommend their sweet potato chips, which are nice and thin, which keep them airy and crisp. However, there are several things about Crafted that keep me from being a regular here. One major flaw are their tortillas, which always seem about as fresh as ones I’d buy at a local supermarket. They make their chips from these (both flour or corn are available, so whichever you prefer), and I personally dislike the thick, oil soaked chips these become. Other issues are usually a matter of mediocrity or lack of harmony in a dish. For instance, my experience with the Fedora (a taco with blacked tuna, seared rare, kim chee, garlic aioli, and scallions) was pretty underwhelming. It sounded good, but the tuna ended up dwarfed by its toppings, and being such a delicate flavor, was lost underneath what were supposed to be its compliments. Even after taking part of the toppings off, it was a bland, unexciting dish. In fact, the kim chee was just red cabbage. It was not even close to the spicy, fermented Korean kraut that is so distinctive. Other dishes I’ve tried there have been equally unimpressive, such as the Oxford (fried chicken, spaghetti squash slaw, and spicy Asian mustard) and the Po’ Boy (Cajun fried shrimp, lettuce, pico de gallo, Cajun remoulade, and spicy pickles). Overall, I just think Crafted needs to hone itself. Some better ingredients (the tortillas would go a long way) and some time spent harmonizing their taco combinations would make this place really worth it. Crafted has good potential, but they’ve not reached it yet.
The food, atmosphere and craft beer selection make this small hole in the wall a must for anyone in the triad area. The fusion of simple flavors like grilled pineapple and brisket compliment a sweet chili aioli beautifully in one of their 6 signature tacos (also available in burrito size). And freshly made sweet potato chip nachos are a must for people looking for something sweet, savory and cheap. The freshness of ingridents and works I art that emerge from the kitchen are well worth the drive.
Small place, big taste. We went to crafted a few weeks ago on a Saturday night with some friends. The wait was quite long, and there was no waiting area – instead, diners must stand in a three foot wide hallway that is probably forty feet long, which is adjacent to the open kitchen. Not the best arrangement in my opinion, but one of the quirks of downtown dining, and the wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen give you a taste of things to come. The atmosphere of the restaurant was definitely unique for the Piedmont Triad. The hipster quotient was so high you would swear you were in Brooklyn or Portland, and the ambiance reflects that aesthetic……including several pictorial odes to Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, that old hipster standby.The food, however, was unquestionably excellent. We had appetizers, drinks, dinner, and desert, and there wasn’t a bad taste to be had. I’m not the biggest margarita fan in the world, but theirs were excellent. The pulled pork was tender and juicy, all the sauces were flavorful. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. Overall, I would highly recommend crafted for your next downtown Greensboro dining excursion,
