Craft Public House

We were in town for a swim meet and stumbled upon Craft Public House - what a find! Our server, Mariah, was incredible. She was attentive, professional, and clearly well-trained. I highly recommend her to train the rest of the staff - she was a standout in every way!The food arrived promptly and was delicious. The swimmers in our group devoured their burgers, my wife loved her chili and salad, and I had a patty melt that was absolutely perfect. The cocktails were on point as well, a great addition to an already fantastic meal.Overall, we had an excellent experience, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in town. Highly recommend!

Pros:Fast, friendly serviceAmple indoor and outdoor seatingThey have a points award programEnjoyed the pretzel appetizer with mustard dipEasy parkingCons:The chicken Parmesan lacked any flavor - overcooked pasta, red sauce from a can, and the cheese didn't taste like anything Entrees were crazy expensiveNothing really special here - typically overpriced bar foodPro tip:Order queso with your pretzel appetizer and come for a drink. Go elsewhere for a meal.

**Vegetarians!**I rarely update reviews, but my spouse had such a good experience today, it's worth an extra comment. We usually frequent places that cater to vegetarians so she has good choices, but when eating out with other people who aren't as adventurous, she usually settles for the same old: a black bean burger, or a salad. She had the stuffed eggplant today and commented that it was tasty, and very filling. It was probably "the most substantial meal she's had from a traditional menu", especially for a pub! The dish does come with feta cheese, but you can ask for them to leave it off. Overall it was a great choice, I tried it and almost wish I had ordered it too :)

Came here for lunch recently and enjoyed our experience. The attached parking lot was large, which is always a plus :) I ended up ordering a burger and fries (with a garlic aioli on the side!) and everything was very tasty. My wife got the meat loaf and mashed potatoes (a $13 lunch special) and she really enjoyed her meal. Craft also had a kid's menu for our toddler, and we ordered him a grilled cheese. The bread was made from scratch, which was pretty cool, but of course he didn't want to eat it. He did enjoy the broccoli on the side, though - go figure :) Service was prompt and everything went well, so I'd definitely recommend coming to Craft. Oh, and of course they had a pretty decent beer menu :)

The craft chicken pasta was cheesy and tasty! The grilled chicken and the garlic bread were especially good. Our waiter Mikey was efficient and attentive. The restaurant was still a little on the cold side, but thankfully the music was not too loud. The only other complaint besides temperature I have is that the prices have gone really high. It was ~$80 for the two of us.

We love the Craft Public House for a delightful Sunday breakfast out! The pancakes and other offering never disappoint, and the coffee is remarkably good. The service is usually very attentive, but can get overwhelmed when the place is full. On busy days the atmosphere can get pretty... lively... with sounds levels rising. Otherwise the store is bright and clean and comfortable.

Came here for lunch on a business meeting. Inside was kind of loud around the bar area but the outdoor patio was a perfect place to have a nice meal and conversation. 70's quietly playing in the background. The server came out very quickly and helpful with suggestions and extra time if we needed it. Some diners on the patio had their dogs with them. I ordered the salmon salad which came out quickly. Fresh and tasty. One of the best balsamic vinaigrette dressings I've ever had! Great experience.

Always great food and service. A regular here! Tried the Greek grilled chicken wrap for lunch today and was so good I ate every last bite!

Had dinner with colleagues tonight. We were promptly greeted and brought to our table. This is a sports bar kind of place with multiple TVs and ample sitting. Very relaxed vibe. I had the holiday bash which was a dark ale. It was very yummy. And for reference I like dark beers. It had a chocolatey coffee taste to it. But it went down well. Then I had a caprese chicken burgerThe chicken was a little dry. But the flavour was good. The herb butter broccoli tasted more like steamed broccoli and it could be better with a little more salt. They had a whole display of desserts. We ordered a few desserts to share amongst us. We had the oreo cheese cake, the new york cheese cake and the mini dessert flight.Their cheese cakes were all good. The mini dessert flight consisted of white chocolate Raspberry cheesecake, new york cheesecake and a peanut butter cloud pie. My vote goes to the peanut butter cloud pie!!!! The white chocolate raspberry cheese cake could do with a bit more Raspberry taste to it. It tasted more like white chocolate cheesecake. My favourite is still the peanut butter cloud pie. The service was fantastic. The server kept checking back to see if we were ok. One of my colleagues ordered the blackened salmon salad which was not cooked to her satisfaction - it was raw in the middle. And that was taken off the bill when we informed them of that. I would come back again when I'm in Cary!

Another excellent meal here. It's a good thing that it's over a half hour from my home or we'd have a hard time not being regulars!I've only been here twice before. When I visit a restaurant for the first time if I really like what I tried I'm prone to have it on the next visit, which makes it hard to venture further into the menu. The second visit I made myself break that pattern and try something else and I loved that even more. On my third visit, today, I made myself try something else yet again and loved That even more!! This place has it going on! Period. So this time I had the chicken pot pie. Omg, it was incredible!! Nice pastry puff on top that you break thru to reveal a bowl full of veggies and chicken chunks in a wonderful savory gravy. One of the best I've ever had!My spouse had the shepherd's pie that had really good flavor, but did need a bit more gravy in it. So much she had leftovers. They have tons of desserts to choose from. We got a mini pumpkin cheese cake to bring home. It smells so good. Can't wait to try it!The staff is excellent overall. So friendly and diligent in doing their job. You really couldn't ask for a better experience here. Whoever created this restaurant really knows what they're doing.
