Reviews for Craft in Binghamton, NY
This is a great little brewpub hidden in downtown Binghamton. They specialize in handcrafted gourmet slider hamburgers that are... ordered on an individual basis (a good starting point for me was 2) and all sides are an additional nominal fee. They have anoutstanding selection of microbrewery beers, with a fair collection of wines, and cocktails. The setting is family friendly withboth indoor and outdoor seating available. They also have delivery via DoorDash. They take cash and credit. The indoor seatingis mostly high metallic barstools so if you have back issues you will need to make sure that you get a table with full chairbacks. Read more
Went on a Sunday when they opened, luckily they had one table available as the rest were for reservations. This place is... definitely for the college-kid type of person. I think I was the oldest one there (34!) Anyways, great menu and prices. The foodtasted delicious. I recommend getting more than 1 slider. Next time I will get their milkshakes. Server was good but seemed tobe annoyed for some reason. Make sure you have a smart phone to scan their menu. Read more
You know this is a collegetown type of place when the menu is solely available by scanning a QR code on the table. But I found... it strange that there's absolutely no non-alcoholic drinks listed anywhere on that menu. I'm usually fine with water anyway, butit just seems like a basic feature that's lacking. As far as the food, it was touch and go. Like another reviewer said, it is abit like rolling the dice. Nothing was bad, per se, but I found extremes between mindblowingly amazing and "this is all bun"kind of flavor. So let's start with the best. The sushi slider. It's a little messy, so prepare for some fall-out, but theflavor was perfect. The soy marinade on the ahi tuna paired perfectly with the tangy pickled slaw and bun, which was like afried rice tater tot. Crispy yet creamy and starchy. It was a match made in heaven, and I would happily go there just to orderthat again. The Unicorn shake was also great. Blended perfectly with a nice creamy strawberry flavor. And all the pizzazz ofthose stylish overfilled shakes but, thankfully, that top was just whipped cream so it was not a mess at all. We did not try itspiked, but they have those options, too, if you're interested. But do note that some people might consider these shakes a mealin themselves! It's a lot. Now for the "meh"... Basically all other sliders I tried on a bun, which were the Social Slider andthe Grilled Shroom Slider. The amount of filling made it so the entire slider was fully overwhelmed by the bun. All I couldtaste was bun, with a hint of filling. Having tried the sushi one first, these came as a major disappointment. So consideringALL of their sliders except the sushi one has the same normal bun, I'm skeptical that I won't be disappointed coming back to trymore. If you're coming here for the milkshakes, craft beer, or the sushi slider, you'll love it. Otherwise, it just seems a bit"meh". If I didn't absolutely love the sushi slider this would have easily been 3 stars. Read more
Stopped by for lunch. My wife and I both had a couple of sliders. The sliders were seasoned well but the bun was not very good.... Too much bun for the small burger. They had a good selection of tap beer. For soda, it was too flat for my taste. I would sayoverall the place is good but not great. Read more
The short: The milkshake flavor was good. All the rest; we were less than impressed. Not somewhere I'd likely go again any time... soon. The long version: We (2 adults) decided to give this place a try after seeing a Facebook post about their fabulouslooking milkshakes. Monday 1pm, they weren't super busy but had about 4 other tables of 2 to 4 occupied. The food wasn't greatbut the Apple Crisp milkshake had a great flavor. We ordered beer battered chicken fingers (they were over cooked and dry,otherwise had a good flavor), crispy chix slider (same over cooked chicken as the chicken fingers), and totchos with thetoppings on the side (they definitely weren't anything special, even with everything on them. There's no Cajun to thesetots.) The most disappointing was the lack of service/customer service from the moment we walked in. On the outside it lookslike a hip or trendy place to eat. Their ad drew us in. It's very rare that we walk into a restaurant and feel as if we aren'twelcome or business isn't wanted. Unfortunately, today was one of those days. The look of the place created a good upbeat feel.I expected to be greeted when we walked in the door with a friendly smile, maybe a "Hey! Welcome, we'll be with you in aminute." Instead, I'm not sure either of the girls behind the bar really looked our way. They knew we walked in but didn'tacknowledge us. Even once we sat down at a table, it was a good 10 minutes before they came over to even acknowledge us. Theyfinally walked our way but only to take drinks to the table across from us, away and back again to take their order, away andback again with milkshakes to the two tables around us, away andback again to bring food out to a table... all the while noteven acknowledging we were there. Nothing. Finally a waitress comes out with water and asks if we wanted other drinks (wedidn't) and tried to quickly walk away without asking to take our order. Overall, the lack of eye contact, a smile, or agreeting Read more
The fruit beers were good, fruit taste didn't over the beer. Pulled pork slider was yummy. But the chicken wings were little... over cooked. The place was given space and has outdoor space too. Read more
What a great atmosphere great place...big selection of different types of beer. The manager was so helpful (his recipe for the... fried pickles) The fried pickles (1st time eating them) were so good. Loved the slider & fries too. Great prices. Read more
Very nice vibes. I usually get milkshakes here, it tastes good and the price is great too. Recommend everyone to come here in... the evening, it's so beautiful with the lights out and inside. I love it a lot. Read more
