THE CRAFTY COW BAR & SMOKEHOUSE

Top notch. Despite being busy Sat night we still found a table. The food is marvelous. The brisket is soft and juicy. Chips were crunchy and the sweet potatoe fries tasty. Onion rings were not oily and nice and thin. Even the salad was great. If you are a steakhouse sort of person this place will not dissapoint. The service was on point and the atmosphere fantastic. There is a kids playground right next to the seating area so that takes care of the kids. Will definitely come again when out this way.

Oh. My. God. Unbelievable!!
We had the brisket, which fell apart it was soooo tender I couldn't believe. The chips were awesome and fresh (seems simple, but it's the little things!). Manic busy, yet the service was almost instant & friendly, the food came out really fast too! Plus there was a kids playground just outside. Loved it. Too full. Leaving fat & happy.
Thank you ❤

We had lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Food was great, drinks were cold, and the service was great. Only that we live 50km away, I would of stayed longer and divulged in more craft beers. I had the TNT Chicken burger and it was delicious. I like my food a bit hotter but it was probably spot on for the average person. My wife had the pork ribs and thought they were great but she felt she should of ordered extra sauce. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely best slow cooked and smoked meats I have ever had. We both got the Slider Combos and it was huge. Friendly staff and professional service. Highly recommend if your in the area.

Best place around!!! Great atmosphere. Nothing average about it. Clearly see staff love their job and were very helpful. So nice to see. Prices very very reasonable compared to costs of everything right now. All burgers come with chips so good for $28. The smoking takes a lot of time and skill. Hamburger was fantastic

Delicious food and drinks. A great range of craft beer, some on tap and some canned (and bottled). The range of drinks rotates too so there is a good variety of beer. The food is great, with "American style" being the primary range but there are also other good alternatives (including vegetarian options). Definitely worth the visit.

The best smoked ribs I’ve had in a long time. Brisket sliders, buffalo wings and house salad all equally as delicious. Great selection of beers. Live music on the Friday night we went. Super helpful and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

The Carnivore Platter was perfect - melt in your mouth, flavoursome meats, tasty coleslaw and pickles. For a larger family, as we are, I would suggest adding chicken bites (1 bite is about the size of 4 nuggets and there was 6-8 bites in all so fairly substantial!) and extra fries. Highly recommended for meat-lovers!

Fantastic food! Hands down one of the best smokehouses we have ever been to. They have a great understanding of and offer gluten free options, just ask the staff. Thanks team Crafty Cow!

What a wonderfully relaxing environment. Bar and kitchen staff there to look after you. Good food, nice selection of beers. Who doesn't loved slow cooked smoked meats. Big shout out to the onion rings.

Always a great feed, we have our order ready: Jalepeno poppers, brisket sliders and a half rack pork ribs - all to share and we are always offered side plates to manage this. Friendly staff, fast service, GREAT food and it's a regular 'go to' for us. Highly recommended!

I visited Kingscliff for a few days with my partner last week, and in that time we LOVED the Crafty Cow so much we went twice instead of the fancy local restaurants for tourists.

Firstly, the staff are really friendly, the service is super quick, and the atmosphere is really nice, don’t be deterred by the fact it’s not on the beach, the outdoor setting, shade, great table sizes, this place has so much going for it.

And did I mention the food? Oh my goodness, The chicken nibbles are literally the best chicken nuggets you will ever have. I have told several people this already! Smoked sliders were delicious too, and the haloumi fries! Cocktails were perfect as well.

Our whole family are returning for new years, and we will be going back again and cannot wait. The biggest point of difference about this place has to be the staff, they are seriously happy to serve you, their smiles are genuine, and if you want to have a chat, they’re happy for that too... Thank you to the lovely team at Crafty Cow, you were a highlight of our holiday!

Absolutely fantastic ribs. The flavour is like a beautifully smoked hot dog throughout. We shared a rack between us and added a side of onion rings. When the rack arrived, they were served on a huge platter of sweet potato fries. The only way it could’ve been made better is to have had a larger serving of coleslaw and some bbq sauce to dip the ribs in as they’re lightly basted with sauce but they were honestly the best ribs we’ve ever had and the onion rings were super! We also loved the range of spirits on offer for a cheeky rum and coke. Our recommendation is the Husk Bam Bam!

The Quinoa house salad is very good, 5 stars.
We had it with pulled pork, brisket wasn't available. Meat was a little dry though, 3 stars.
Try the organic Pinot Gris.

Amazing service atmosphere and food. The burger was absolutely beautiful, juicy and tender with the right amount of sauces on the perfect size bun.

Highly recommend trying this place if you are in the area. But make sure you book as it’s always busy. Trust the locals!

Had the ribs and brisket here which were sensational. Murray really knows how to cook some great meat.
Place is on the smaller side so make sure you book during busy times.

Super impressed with this little place. This place exceeded expectations by a good leap.. All female staff on when I was there which is pretty impressive to see for a place that resembles a pub.. I would not hesitate to eat there again.. Prices are fair, would have liked to see a bit more food for my buck, but understandably the amount of time to make the meats taste as good as they were and melt in your mouth deserves the price tag. If you've been considering this place but have held back maybe this review will sway your thoughts, give it a try, the menu is simple so not much thought has to go into choosing what to eat. There was some vegetarian options too.

Came in for some sliders. Great food and beer. Will be back next time I'm visiting for a holiday 😎🍻

Best ribs. Our US friends rated it better than what they get in the US. Great beer, atmosphere and friendly service. Keep up the good work

Sensational food here. Do yourself a favour and get yourself here when in the area. The meat is so tender. The combination of flavours perfection. Delicious!!
