Once again, the consistency of the food, the awesome service and half off wine night… Yes, half of wine night on a SATURDAY… is always a special treat. If you haven’t been to Croc’s, you need to go. I promise you won’t regret it; the food selection is great for families, but also perfect for date nights as well.

We didn't expect the excellent quality and wonderful preparation of the food! The venue is dive bar-chic, but the service, variety and flavor are way above expectations.

While I am familiar with bar and grill type of restaurants, my partner and I were a bit disappointed at how close we were sitting to the bar instead of it being difference of rooms or sections. Not only that but we waited quite a bit for each order, probably because of Valentine’s day. My husband had gotten the patty melt I believe, but it smelled and tasted like a hotdog? At the end of our meal we had gotten the brownie sundae, and the pieces that were not covered with ice cream was hard as a rock and had little to no homemade flavor. Our waitress was lovely, but overall we were not impressed simply due to quality and price.
