Crafty Bastards Restaurant 4860 Northwest 39th Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32606

"Edit: Upon excitedly showing up for Tuesday night trivia and dinner 45 minutes before trivia started, we discovered that half of the available seating was reserved but empty and everything else was taken. When asking if there was any other seating available, a host said only bar seating or outside seating was open. Mind you, it's January and it was 50 degrees outside, nobody sat outside and we wouldn't be able to participate in trivia. We left extremely disappointed not wanting to sit on bar stools for a 3 hour duration. The seating should be FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, not reserved for people an HOUR before trivia starts. Ridiculous. We've been here a few times, food always great and we love the price point, portions, and think it's fair. Service can be hit or miss on the weekends, my fiancé and I brought his dad once for trivia night. It took 45+ minutes for a burger and fries to come out, it seemed like they needed 1 or 2 more waitstaff to handle the volume of orders. Overall, a decent low key spot to hang out when they're not slammed on the weekend. We love going to the beer shop next door."

"The pretzel plus beer cheese was the best thing. The mac and chicken with chicken was good but definitely needs more noodles. The chicken sandwich was razor thin but the French fries were good. The sweet potato wedges were good. The burger was alright."

"We stopped here while visiting family over the holidays. It appears they have a bar and restaurant with a beer store next door. We took my 93 old mother here and the restaurant seemed family friendly. They had plenty of table seating as well as plenty of seating at the bar. We ordered Mac and Cheese with blackened Chicken, and the Meatloaf. The Mac and Cheese was delicious but the Meatloaf was incredible. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I would definitely recommend the Meatloaf. We tried several of drafts which was very refreshing and ice cold. Our waiter was awesome and very attentive."

"Waitress Sam and Sara were great. The food was good. The nachos were not up to our liking. The cheese was thick and hard like it had been sitting. They were willing to take it back and try to melt the cheese more but a guy, didn’t get the name, came by and said that that’s just how they make it, so we exchanged it for a burger. The burger was good. Appreciate him for making sure our meal was satisfactory."
