" I’ve been to The Craft House a few times now, and I must say I've been impressed with the food quality each time. The burgers are always juicy, and the fries are perfectly crispy. We also enjoyed their July special of BBQ ribs, and they were fantastic! The beer selection is outstanding too, and I love that they frequently have local brews on tap. The only downside was the service; it seemed like they were quite busy and a bit slow at serving us. However, it was a pleasant atmosphere to hang out with friends, and I will come back for sure.

" Great experience at The Craft House last weekend! The food was fresh and the selection of beers was outstanding. I loved their crab cakes – absolutely recommend those if you visit! The service was friendly; while they were busy, they handled things quite well. The only downside was the seating was a bit tight, but I'd be willing to overlook it for the food and atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to The Craft House for trivia night, and it was a bit hectic but still fun! The staff were friendly and tried to manage the crowd well. While we ordered some burgers, they came out a bit slower than we expected. The quality of the food was satisfactory, but honestly, I was left a bit wanting for more flavor. However, I must say the bar area was lively, and the energy kept the night enjoyable. I would return for the fun vibe but may skip the food next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little place! The Craft House really has something for everyone. The beer selection is unparalleled – if you love trying new brews, this is the spot. I opted for the seasonal pumpkin ale, and it was fantastic! We sampled different dishes, including the nachos and flatbreads, which were both delicious. The downside was I felt the portions could be slightly larger. Overall, however, it was a lovely evening with great friends and great ambiance. Definitely recommend for a casual hangout! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the history of the building is charming, I found my experience at The Craft House a bit inconsistent. The staff were friendly, though my entrée was just average – I ordered the mac and cheese, which lacked seasoning. On the other hand, my friend's wings were fantastic! I also had a dessert, which was their key lime pie, and it was delicious, though I felt portions could be improved. Overall, an average visit with some highs but also some lows. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to The Craft House didn't quite meet my expectations. While the ambiance was lovely and the historic feel of the place is unique, I was disappointed with the food quality. I ordered the Craft House special fish and chips, but the fish was dry and overcooked. Fortunately, my friend loved her salad and remarked on its freshness. Service was adequate but not remarkable; our server was polite but not very engaging. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I'm not sure if I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Craft House is a hidden gem! I went there for the first time last week and was taken aback by how friendly everyone was. My friends and I shared some appetizers, including the wings, which were flavorful and more than enough for sharing. I particularly loved the ambiance with the historical decor and relaxed vibe. As for the main course, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich – it was perfectly seasoned and juicy! Great beer selection too. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
