    Fourth time coming here, it was my best friends birthday so we were celebrating! Waited a little over 10 mins for someone to help our table, ordered flights and appetizers which was overall excellent! Deviled eggs and spinach artichoke dip is always a must here. I personally had the southern fried chicken with brisket and it was delicious! Got my cream corn and Mac n cheese for my sides and they never disappoint. Ordered a cornbread to go but it was a little dry :( , our waitress was the best and they even gave us a cornbread as complimentary for attending us late. Thank you , we’ll be back!

    It was wonderful experience. It was easy to make reservation online, and the whole dining in experience was great. We had a big party of 18, but everything went well and the food at Craft by Smoke and Fire was awesome. We will definitely go back again.

    Great location. Our Brisket topped salad and brisket tacos were excellent. The coconut shrimp starter was unadorned. Looking around kitchen seemed to have issues with timing. Service was spotty. Great location before game/event.

    It was a busy Saturday evening and I was so glad I made a reservation through Open Table. We only had to wait about 5 minutes. The food was great and was served in a timely matter after we ordered. Our server was also very nice and efficient. He came y the table often to inquire if everything was ok. We had a great experience.
