A hiding gem. Great service, food and drinks. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and to our surprise we found out they have a speakeasy bar on the back. Fun experience.

It’s was a good experience overall, inside and outside seating available and it looks like they a full bar (I could be wrong). Street parking available! We were a party of four, on a Sunday (Labor Day weekend) around 5 pm. The restaurant was pretty empty, maybe five tables or so were being occupied. The place is clean, good atmosphere, lots of TVs around to enjoy some sports, and well organized. The men’s bathroom long as clean though. The urinal stalls seemed to be clogged. The place was really hot inside, no A/C, but once they opened up the big doors leading to the outside seating, then we felt the nice breeze coming through. The food was really good. We decided to get the big meal (4-6 people) and share it between us four. It was enough food. Flavorful short ribs, tasty grilled chicken, and nicely cooked brisket. Definitely worth the visit if you around the area.

Craft by Smoke and Fire is a great restaurant. The atmosphere feels warm and friendly, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent. We enjoyed delicious, juicy, and flavorful ribs and brisket, and the sides were great as well. Overall, it’s a fantastic option in the area, you’ll probably want to go more than once!

Tomahawk steak was prepared and seasoned nicely. 1/2 pound brisket had a good smokey taste to it but my cut had the fat cap attached (which was about 30% of the entrée). Katie was the star of our dinner tonight - very attentive to our large group. She was very approachable and had a great sense of humor. Excellent service!

Fantastic Halal BBQ Spot! I was visiting from the Bay Area and stopped in for lunch—absolutely worth it. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the ribs were incredibly tender, falling right off the bone. A must-visit if you’re looking for quality halal BBQ!

This place is delicious, just like the name states Craft by Smoke and Fire, it truly is. Wow so well crafted, so i like beef and I do like brisket but to be honest it not always on top of my list. Now that I said that, wow this well crafted brisket it delicious it has changed my mine about brisket. It just juice, tender, savory and explosive to my taste buds. I have there jalapeños burger, mac n cheese, loaded potato and brisket waffle fries.. my sisters and brothers this is a must spot to visit if your in the area. They also take reservations. Feed your food souls and God bless

Saw a Tik Tok influencer raving about this place and decided to check it out on our trip to Disney. We went for lunch and while not terribly busy, there seemed to be only one server, who despite his efforts was struggling to keep up. Kudos to him for remaining calm and doing his best. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was awesome with wall murals and low lighting. Tons of TV’s playing sports. We sat outdoors because we have two toddlers and never want to disturb people if we can avoid it. We split a monstrosity of a ‘burger’ that came with a rib bone sticking out of the side. It consisted of Wagyu beef. Prime brisket, and a giant short rib all on Texas toast for $37. The kids shared Mac and cheese and a kid’s chicken meal. They had a good selection of cocktails and beer, however they were out of our first two selections. Adding to my theory that they were short staffed, the restroom wasn’t in the best of conditions. You can see the video for yourself that I have posted. The kid’s chicken meal was actual chicken strips, not crappy nuggets. It came with two and both were more than enough food for one child, despite including fries. The waiter gave us our food but forgot silverware and napkins, both of which are required for eating Mac and cheese and an exquisitely messy burger. Overall, an absolutely delicious meal, but give the pore waiter some assistance.
