This place was pretty cool inside. We got a table really quick and had drinks in our hands within 10 minutes. And then everything started slowing down. They seemed a bit short staffed. Our waiter recommended some things for us to try, which turned out really good. We had the Bánh mì which needed more greens but the meat was delicious. We also tried the birria tacos which needed more cheese but the consume was perfection. My husband ordered a desert and we waiting 20 minutes. I had eyes on the window where food came up and saw the desert sitting there for at least 5 minutes but our waiter was no were to be seen. When he finally came, he said he would check on it. He came back with the desert and said “right when I walked up, they put it down” which was definitely a lie buuuuuutttt it was still delicious none the less and probably the best part of the meal. I would go back and try other food items for sure and hopefully get better service.

Craft by Smoke & Fire has clearly been through some changes since the new ownership, and honestly? It shows — and not always in a good way. But here’s what saved this review: the GM. Our visit started rough. One bartender/server was covering the outdoor patio, the bar top, AND the dining room — solo. He was doing his absolute best, but I ended up having to get up and grab my own salt, pepper, and napkins. Not exactly the experience you’re paying for. But the GM noticed, came right over, apologized genuinely, and explained that a staff member had simply not shown up. That kind of attentive, accountable management is rare — and it matters. On the food: the Mile High cocktail delivered, the Caesar salad with pomegranate seeds and cornbread croutons was genuinely a standout, and the tri-tip was solid. The birria tacos? Hard pass. Skip them. An engaged GM can absolutely turn a 1-star experience into a reason to come back. Fix the staffing issues that seem to have crept in under new ownership, and this place has real potential.

Kurczę, a śmierdzę okropne po obiadkę! Dang, I smell absolutely terrible after dinner! Butter’s rich in this joint! I had a salad and Brussels sprouts prior to this last outing myself! It was very good! Also some drink that was memorable, probably with grapefruit or blood orange I had club soda with lemon today! This time I enjoyed a brisket grilled cheese with a side of roasted corn (esquites style)! Could be a bit more charred and with more parsley, albeit very fresh! Perhaps next time I will ask for more pickled onions for the sandwich The house also brought me corn chips with queso, which maintained a very faithful and strong corn taste! Fine with my sore jaw… There are TV’s with interluding chandeliers, very bold for the cottage style! Also tall (French?) windows! Such industrial glass… My waiter was very amicable, friendly, and kind!

We had a wonderful pre-Mother’s Day celebration at Craft by Smoke and Fire! We made a reservation ahead of time, and everything was seamless from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely excellent, and the ambiance made for a perfect celebratory venue. A huge shoutout to our server, Jordy, who took incredible care of us. Even with a full house, all the servers were attentive and professional. If you’re looking for great BBQ and a nice atmosphere, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

Looking for a pet friendly restaurant found this restaurant. Yes, they met the need of allowing pets in their outside seating. But not impressed with the food I ordered. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The food was ok. I only ordered a salad and their chilli and yes I should have ordered something else ... But just wanted something light. Initially wanted their coconut shrimp and they ran out, they were not busy and it was 7 pm they still have a few hours to go. The waiter then brought over their nachos with cheese and BBQ sauce on them, they were fresh but not something I would come to order. Was hoping the Lauren salad was going to be good, but it was missing the candied walnuts or pecans it comes with when I asked for the nuts the waiter said they were out and there was no replacement for it. If I would have been informed prior, I would of ordered a different salad. The salad was bland and presentation was horrible. The chilli was very salty. My rating is based on my meal and lack of the appetizer and ingredients to make the salad. The rest of my party enjoyed their food but we're not raving over it.
