Kraftwork - Philadelphia

BEWARE! I ate here back in February on a Saturday evening with two friends to celebrate a birthday. We ordered a selection of apps as well as entrees. All of the food came out together which was annoying but it was fine. Although there was barely anyone in the restaurant, the server did not pay us much attention, and acted as if walking a few steps into the kitchen was a bother. We ordered three drinks and the guest of honor had to wait 10 minutes longer because they did not complete all of drinks at the same time. When my friend attempted to ask the bartender, she was met with an attitude and an argument. The food was okay but the drinks were better. I tipped because I know the service industry is hard, however I did not feel the need to do more than 10% due to the negative energy I was receiving from the staff, AND THEY ADDED THEIR OWN TIP TO MY CREDIT CARD!! They stole from me and now it's taking them two months to rectify. I will never support this business again! BEWARE!

Interior was nice; staff were friendly and attentive. We had the short rib sandwich and the Kraftwork Burger, both delicious. Craft beers were good too. The bathrooms had large wrenches in case you needed to bust a nut.

There was a change in ownership last year and we were worried that even though there were great new specials, the service had taken a hit. Just finished a meal, and our server (Kaleb) was phenomenal this visit. Honestly, we went from being unsure about the place to planning weekly visits in one night. Total turnaround. Dollar wing night with service like this is too good to ignore. Special thanks to Kaleb to renewing our faith in an old standby.

I really enjoyed this restaurant! We are visiting from New York City and brought our young son with us. They have high chairs available, which was convenient. Our friends also joined us and we all had a fantastic time. The food was amazing, especially the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls - highly recommend trying them! The drinks and service were also excellent. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Kraftwork is an exemplary bar that has been carefully designed with a hipster aesthetic and industrial touches. The U-shaped bar creates a sense of community, making it a great spot to meet up with friends. We visited during their all-you-can-eat Crab day, but opted for a delicious burger with exceptional fries. The Buffalo Wings were also a hit - meaty and flavorful. The beer selection is curated and includes top-notch options. The staff is friendly, helpful, and personable. We highly recommend this spot and will definitely be returning when in Philly. We were even lucky enough to catch a live band playing a jazzy set with a pedal steel, adding a touch of country to the atmosphere. The volume was just right, making for a perfect dining experience.
