Crafted

A favorite is the summer salad. It has my favorite ingredients—shrimp, arugula, feta, and red onion. The flavor of the watermelon goes perfectly with the balsamic vinaigrette and feta. The shrimp are flavorful—not as much as fresh wild caught, but very close. The watermelon is juicy, flavorful and fresh. The arugula is sharp, crispy and fresh.

The amount of arugula was perfectly balanced with the balsamic vinaigrette, shrimp, onion, watermelon and cheese.

The grill cheese is excellent and the fries are very good.

Brunch is served on Sundays. We enjoyed it.

Excellent sweet tea. One of the places I give 10 out 10. Make sure the tea is served cold.

Sweet Tea: 10 out of 10

Visited for the first time for lunch with a friend and absolutely enjoyed it. I made a reservation through Resy but we could’ve walked in as we were there 30 minutes after opening. The restaurant and bar area (where we were seated) definitely got more crowded while we were chatting. Our server was great and patient with us; especially me because it took me 3 samples before I settled on a strawberry cider lol. We took her suggestion and tried the Brussels for our appetizer and they were cooked perfectly and seasoned just as great. It was hard to select what we wanted from the menu so I’ll definitely be back. But I enjoyed my poboy; the shrimp were fried well and the slaw gave it more flavor than expected. I love French fries and theirs didn’t disappoint, 10/10 recommend and I can’t wait to return!

Awesome cool spot. The food was delicious! Cooked to perfection. The brussel sprouts were flavorful and crispy! Probably the best I have had in a while. The cocktails were amazing! Lots of great options. I went for lunch and enjoyed myself. Plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating. I will definitely visit here again.

I've been to Crafted a couple of times and the food and drinks have been good (Honey Habanero Mule is my favorite here.) This time though, I went for it. I had seen The Richard on the menu before and I was tempted. A thick-cut, fried bologna sandwich, a southern classic. It did not disappoint! The mustard, cheese, onions and yes, potato chips on Texas toast with bologna which was warm and fried crispy on the outside was perfection. (I didnt add the lettuce and tomato) If this sounds good to you , it's a must try. The waitress said it was named after the owner's father which is pretty cool too.

The atmosphere around and inside Crafted was my favorite part of eating here. It was a 50 degree evening and the street was lined with string lights. It brought a nice charm to the venue.

We had a reservation for our large group (about 16) and there was a part of the restaurant they sectioned off for us. Made the evening a lovely private moment for us.

We shared the pork rinds, wings, shirt rib sliders, and some kind of BBQ calamari. Everything was delicious, but I wasn't a big fan of the calamari. It wasn't bad, just not as good as the rest of the apps.

My entree was the shrimp and grits. It was delicious. I originally wanted the Butcher Block cut of the day, but the day I was there the cut was top round sirloin steak. Not my favorite cut for steak so I passed. I was really looking forward to a nice ribeye or NY strip.

Service was fantastic, our waitress was attentive and did a great job remembering our drinks. The food came out at a reasonable time as well for such a large party.

All in all, a lovely place to spend the evening with friends or family.

Met up with an old coworker to have lunch and we found this little restaurant called "Crafted" right in Libby Mill. It was awesome the service, the food, I think our waiter name was Mark (I'm sorry if I got it wrong) he was so knowledgeable about all the items on the menu and they had a full bar (a shot of espresso vodka to go in your ice coffee... you'll thank me later!) Everything I got was good but those pulled pork egg rolls and that crab dip... Yes sir! They put some extra love when the cook was cooking... and I thank you! The atmosphere was just lovely. I'll definitely be back!

Everyone in our party loved the food. Service terrific, great atmosphere, drinks were good... what more could you ask for in a neighborhood restaurant? Prices were very fair and the menu had a variety to cover every appetite and price point.

My husband and I had a DELICIOUS lunch here today. I had the half salad/half soup combo of Brussel Salad and Tomato Basil soup. Both were very well prepared and just enough food to leave me satisfied and not overly full. My husband had the Lady Bird, DC style. Their wine list was substantial and, of course, the beer selection was out of this world. The service was super fast, friendly, and without flaw. The vibe was great with the music being enough to entertain without interfering with conversation. We will definitely go back again.

This casual trendy spot, makes my top 10 for RVA. Incredible value, great environment, close to Scott's edition, and the food is fantastic!

TLDR: They make great drinks, Seabass for $17, and they serve Nightingale ice cream. We has 4 drinks, 1 app, 2 entrées and 1 dessert, tipped 20 and its $130. You could easily leave here under $50 for just dinner. The food and service are on point. We'll done Crafted!

Appetizers: Going with a party has its benefits! Wings, crab dip, and Sliders. They were all very well seasoned, and tasty. Quickly devoured by everyone.

Food: I went with the Fishmonger option which happen to be Seabass. It was $17 and completely out did the Boathouse and their $30 take at it in Short Pump. We also has the ravioli, burgers and salad options. Everyone seemed very pleased with their food. It's priced great at this level of quality too.

Drinks: I had them prepare Whiskey sours for me which were done very nicely. Their cocktails seemed great and the beer selection was extensive (80+).

Desserts: Nightingale cookie monster was amazing. The chocolate peanut butter cake was only OK. The other options are better.

Atmosphere: Fun trendy and clean. I'll add more pics later of the scene. Expect a good environment to enjoy your time here. Staff was great and tolerated our large parties nonsense.

Overall, I highly recommend you check out Crafted RVA!

I took my husband here for his Fathers Day Brunch. We made reservations through their site. When we got there we were sat immediately. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. The food was good and very well priced. Would come again for sure. We will try dinner or lunch next time

Great food, prepared and cooked perfectly. My friend had a burger and asked for it to be cooked med rare and it actually was. Great flavor! Wait staff was friendly, kept an eye on us but not pesty. Drinks were fabulous as well.

This place is amazing! Food is great and the service is phenomenal. Plus they have outdoor seating.

The first time here, our waitress was Nico (she is fablous). The food is so marvelous. We had salmon and meatloaf with wonderful sides. Tall Matt and short Matt, bartenders are friendly and good with their skills, really good. Enjoy, it's worth it. The lady at the door was welcoming her name is Kaley. We will be back.

Creative menu and the food fits the prices. Good service. Atmosphere has an industrial feel that sets the tone well. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique dining experience.

We went on a Friday 4/22 around 9:30pm and really enjoyed the vibe. Ruby is the waitress you want, she is fun, attentive,and has positive energy. The food was great! Location was great! Atmosphere was great! The bartender that evening was a blessing lol especially when you had a week like mines. I don't recall his name but he wears creative ear rings. Suggestions: call the potato Mac and cheese potato Mac, the fried chicken breast should be mostly on potatoes for presentation then greens. Other then that this a great spot we didn't have a long wait for food but if you do it's totally worth it. Ooh for seafood lovers the crab dip is awesome.

PLEASANT LUNCH… At1230, it was moderately busy but we had reservations. We could sit in the high-top tables in the bar area or at regular tables: we chose the latter. My companion and I both had the Turkey in the Orchard Half salad and soup combo. She asked for a grilled chicken substitution, and there was no question. The soup was butternut squash, and, like the salads, it was excellent. Service was attentive. Appreciated being able to pay via a QR code. Street parking is tight but ample parking is available behind. Many crafted beers and cocktails to try at another time, as well as outside tables in the spring.

I won't explain how many times I have been here - living across the street and all - but what I can comment on is the quality of the food, the kindness of the staff, and the atmosphere. There was a running joke in my family at one point, for I would say "I'm heading to dinner" and they could reply "Crafted?" - I would say clearly! Come here if you want a local feel, quality food, and if you're looking for a weekly favorite. Crafted is your place.

Amazing food, delightful waitstaff and management, cozy atmosphere. My husband and I have had breakfast and dinner here so far, and both have been so delicious we ended up overstuffing ourselves. Recommend the Osso Bucco, Fancy Fried Chicken, Biscuits and Gravy, and the cinnamon rolls are a MUST! Best ones I've ever had. Also, you have to get the Southern Picnic Basket Samplet. Best pimento cheese either of us have eaten. The drinks are perfectly made. I guess you could say everything is perfectly 'Crafted' 😉

First time here enjoyed the BLVD BIG PLATE. MY FIANCEE GOT THE SMOKED WINGS WITH THE BAMA WHITE BBQ SAUCE. RUBY WAS A GREAT SERVER. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT 👍🏾 FOR EASTER 🐇🐰 SUNDAY BRUNCH WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEKEND. THANKS RUBY AND STAFF.

I held a corporate happy hour event in the bar space and all the guests were raving about how great everything was! The staff was amazing, everyone was so kind and helpful. I worked with Athena to plan the event and she was a rockstar! She knew all her stuff, was so accommodating and was never phased when I made last minute changes to the menu.

I'll definitely be back!
