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.

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.

Nothing like cold food that is suppose to be hot, a brisket bowl with zero brisket in it, tater tots that finally came out when we were almost done with our meal. Note: I had to walk up to get the tater tots myself because the tall skinny young dude was too busy watching the football game on the TV.
If you ask the tall skinny guy behind the register anything about the menu, he has no clue, nor does he even know what his inventory is, or if food is available to order.
This is the third time, and last time, we will waste our money here.
If you look close, most all of the reviews sound like they were written by the employees, and the food photos all look staged. The food does NOT look as good as what's in the photos when you finally get it.
They didn't even notice that 2 of the axe throwing boards needed to be rebooted.
Only thing good about going there... It's very very quiet! But that's mainly because no one is there.

Got to visit this great looking place! It was a little confusing when you come in the door to know that you have to go to a counter to order so heads up. The hot dog choices were fun. Great side stuff. Kids menu was good as well and the beer wall is that of legend!
Pictured are the Memphis dog and I did a build your own with chili and coleslaw
