Awesome establishment, great idea, executed perfectly. My family has been twice, once on a weekend and once on Wednesday where our kids can eat free when you buy adult meals. The staff is attentive, friendly, and have made a great impression each time. The owner has come out and personally greeted us both times and you can tell everyone cares about the success of the business and the customer’s experience.
Food is great, hot dogs, bbq, tacos, and more. There is a beer wall where you can pour your own beer from a selection on tap, and they have a happy hour.
Wednesday’s are great for kids. There was face painter there when we went from 530-7, or so, who painted our kids faces and made them balloon animals.
If you’re looking for a caring, local restaurant, with beer, BBQ, pool tables, sports on TV, and axe throwing, this is the place to go. Great for all ages.

Visited this place on 12/29/24, and guess what? They didn't have any hot dogs! Hard to believe a hot dog place doesn't have hot dogs. The children on duty were playing pool and flirting with one another rather than serving the customers who decided to stay, despite the lack of hot dogs. I'm guessing this place isn't far from going out of business.

Should be zero stars. We reserved ax throwing Friday 1/10/25 for 6 at the ocala location online the day before. When we arrived at 7pm for our lane the place was closed. Other cars arrived and were also looking to enter for their reservation. Called the number on the door no and one answered. However they did charge my boyfriend $132.00 on the credit card. Emails to both corporate and this establishment sent friday night are still unanswered 2 days later. STAY AWAY.

My wife and I decided to pop into Crave since it was finally open. The inside had been totally redone from it's previous life and looks like a spacious sports bar. We were immediately greeted and shown to a table, the gentleman who sat us was also running the axe throwing games and over the course of our dinner, we watched him helping people get started with it. Our server, Telnisha, came over quickly to take our drink order and explained the beer card. They take a credit card to put on file and give you a card to scan at the wall taps. Then you can get as much as you like and pay by the ounce. The owner came by as my wife was trying one of the ciders to ask if there were any other drinks we would like to have available. The menu was a pretty decent size, with a bunch of different hot dog options. My wife was able to have a dog served on a gluten free bun and a side that wasn't a dietary problem. All the dogs are offered as singles or doubles, and that's due to the buns being huge. I think if we had known, we would have done the double as the ratio of bread to meat/toppings was off. The sides were pretty good and there were a lot of options to pick from. The food all seemed to be catering to carry out orders. Dogs were in a holder but all the sides were in to go containers and the flatware was all plastic.
