Great place to grab local beers, chill with friends and amazing service!

My first experience here was beyond amazing. They have mostly local beers, from Pilsner, IPA, fruity to Belgium beers. They suggested the menu on the chalk board instead of the lamented physical menu. Depending on the beer, they have 4oz, 8oz or 16 oz. 16 oz is usually the regular serving of beer in a regular glass.

Food: corn dogs were different, hot dog was wrapped in bacon inside a homemade batter. It s was pretty expensive for 4 corn dogs, so I wouldn t get it again, but it was decent. Mac n cheese and chicken strip kids size were adult sized servings! Highly recommend ordering from the kids size cause it was perfect for 2 people. I can t even imagine how massive the regular sizes are. The fries here are fresh, kind of reminds me of Wingstop fries.

Atmosphere: really cool, everything looks hand drawn from chalk. Simple yet optimistic with encouraging words.

Service: I don t know what his name was but he was an awesome bartender. He socialized with my group while we were trying to pick a beer. He would ask if we were okay, occasionally. I appreciate how he interacted with us as customers and talking about different beers and how silly some of the names of the beers were. He made my experience here felt very welcomed and comfortable, and it was great service.

Overall, i can see myself coming to craft kitchen more often because of the chill atmosphere where I can go and relax and catch up with friends. They have great local beers, decent foods, and spectacular service.
