Had family in town and wanted to go somewhere fun and casual. The axe throwing sounded intriguing. Went early on a Monday afternoon and it was very quiet, which is to be expected. Only 1 person on staff. You pay for a card to use, then pour your own beer from numerous taps on the wall, good selection. The staff member set us up for the axe throwing, you pay according to the amount of time you play, we did an hour. There are several games to choose from. It was a lot of fun, but they need to set up a more sturdy backboard. Food was pretty good, we had a selection of various types of hot dogs, sliders. All in all a fun time with pretty good beer and casual munchies.Kid-friendliness: Probably don't want kids throwing axes.Parking: Plenty of parking.

The taste and the quality of the food is excellent, however the price perportions are way off. See loaded tater tots on left and Mac n brisket bowl on right. Tater tots were filled to the top of the container. The Mac n brisket bowl barely covered the bottom for fifteen dollars! The side of Mac n cheese is half cup for five dollars!!!I forgot why I stopped going there

Clean and well maintained, Crave made a wonderful first impression. Self serve beer was convenient, quick and delicious. Ever tried brisket? How about shaved brisket on a delicious brat?!?! Perfectly juicy with the right amount of kick - amazing! Great place and will definitely be back.

$14.45 pulled pork plate, pictured was just ok. I expected a bit more then high school lunch tray. We were the only ones there yet most of the tables were dirty, they were completely out of there main menu item, brisket and the self serve beer bar was out of some beers. There was a issue with the way my bill was charged so the cashier had to goto the parking lot to retrieve the manager to fix it. During the short time we were there some employees were drawn to the parking lot going back and forth, getting in and out of cars several times. Like everywhere else when it was time to pay the bill they wanted a "tip" smh...Sadly we will not be returning.

RAW BRATS! I ordered 2 Brats and Baked Beans. Beans were luke warm. I took a big bite of the Brat and it was cold. The interior of the brat was red raw. The manager quickly addressed the issue, in fact he offered to void the transaction. He handled it so quick that I didn't get a pic of the nasty brat. New Owner...really not impressed.

I ate here on 6/3 for dinner. I had a BBQ sandwich, the bun was hard and not toasted. The meat was not hot at all and tasted like it came out of the microwave. I did not see a smoker any where so I do not know how they claim the have great BBQ. I went up and ordered a hot dog. The dog was ok but over priced for $6.50, I will stock with the hot dogs at Costco for $1.50 and Billy Sims for BBQ

Guy at the register said he didn't even like the food they serve. Paid for one of the "favs" and was disappointed. Also $2.50 for a soda is a bit much for fast casual. Sad presentation of food and the cheese was cold on the "hot dog" do not recommend.

I highly recommend this place.The ambience is fun, and the food is really good. I had the 2 jumbo dog with jalapeños, onions, and cheddar cheese. The dog was amazing and the jalapeños felt like they were gourmet, and not your grocery store bought kind. The onions were fresh af. Even the buns were perfect.Plenty of space for big parties, and many beers on tap. The owner is friendly and generous - the hotdog toppings were piled high!

My husband and I loved this place before it closed. It wasn't the most incredible food, but it wasn't terrible. So when they reopened, we were excited and went the day they opened back up under new ownership. First off, it was snowy and slow, and I had seen the Facebook event that said " free hotdogs for the first 100 guests", "prizes," " raffles," and "music". I asked about the hotdogs they said they were already don't with the free ones. Ok, fine, so we ordered. We wanted the beer wall, but that was closed because they are still waiting on their liquor license. That would have been nice to know about the Facebook event. Then I asked about the prizes and raffle, and they said that the free hot dogs were raffled and not for the first 100 guests. We later confirmed this being order #40. I had the southwest bowl.The corn and the beans had been frozen, and were still so cold, and it was so watery. There was only a little meat. No amount of BBQ sauce or salt and pepper could save it. The paper they put underneath was ripping apart from how much water was in mine. My husbands bratwurst was overcooked. We were so sad. My husband then asked about the axe throwing it's $35 a person for 30 minutes. We have been ax-throwing before, and it wasn't that much. We googled places nearby that are cheaper. It was one lane in this place and seemed like it would be annoying to the other guests. We won't be back anytime soon and the owners should reconsider having their young child take food to the wrong tables. There were plenty of workers to deliver the food to us. There are better ways he could have helped.

Ordered a the bresket bowl , served on paper inside the bowl that come apart and made a mess, would have been nice if the bowl wasn't covered in sauce so I could have tried one of the 6 sauces on the table. The wife's tacos looked ok. I feel like the bowl concept would work well with pulled pork.Also a BBQ place that doesn't have fresh Brewed TEA!?!?

Two stars for friendly service. Sorry, $30 for dried pulled pork that more closely resembles chicken, 3 bean side was really Van Camp, and bizarrely flavored bean-less chili. The brisket was so-so. I don’t need great BBQ just good. They can do better at these prices.

Don’t waste your time or your money! We walked in on a weekday at noon and were the only customers in the building, this should have been our clue to leave. We each ordered a hotdog, the only good thing it had going for it was the food was hot. It looked worse and tasted worse than elementary cafeteria food. We were very excited to try the beer wall, no where on the website or anywhere else does it say the beer wall is not open until you walk up to get your beer. Save your money and go literally anywhere but here!

Not impressed, 22$, tiny piece of corn bread, slaw that is tasteless and brisket that is way too salty. Customer service and friendly lacking. Won't be back. Dogs enjoyed it though.

What a fun place! We really enjoyed our food and all of the flavourful beers. This is an upbeat, clean atmosphere and we will definitely be back in the coming weeks. So glad we have a pour-your-own-beer wall on our side of town now!!

The pork and Mac & Cheese is the best. Brisket is really good too
