Today was my first trip to Craft. I ordered the Korean pork belly and Blackbean sliders, which came tater tots. I also ordered the Binghamton Blackout shake. The Binghamton Blackout shake an all Chocolate, everything shake, is easily a favorite of mine. The Korean pork belly slider with its sweet chili glaze and pickled slaw. Had a great flavor, I wanted a little bigger piece of pork belly. The Blackbean slider with avocado and Chipotle lime aioli had a good flavor. The tater tots were crispy, and the house made ketchup was a good topping for it. Give them a try for some good food. I will definitely be back again.

Roomy open bar and restaurant with relaxed vibe, fresh local drafts, and speciality sliders served hot. Regulars in the lunch crowd and stragglers wandering in for a midday pint. Fried fish slider served fresh, but the falafel slider was a surprising hit. Tots came piping. Kind staff. Food and drinks arrived reasonably fast. Nice spot on a fun block downtown, with affordable parking garage real close.

Didn't have a problem with college kids maybe too cold? I guess we just popped in after the rush. It was really nice actually. Milkshake was delicious food was good. I'd stop back in for some foot and a drink. The cider and beer selection was really good as well. No flights but they let us try something so I wasn't really bummed.

Cute cafe with excellent breakfast sandwiches and bagels. We tried the egg, cheese, sausage sandwich on a bagel and the "Brooklyn"- an egg, cheese, bacon sandwich on a buttered, toasted croissant. Delicious, fresh- just the way you expect from a cafe, but are rarely given. This was fantastic. The cappuccino and fresh-squeezed orange juice finished off the meal perfectly. It is not a huge place but obviously very popular and we had to wait a few minutes to get a table but was well worth the wait!

Albeit on a slow weekday lunch period, but while passing through on a roadtrip, they were kind enough to let us & our large senior dog dine indoors on a rainy day. Thank you for accommodating us! And the sliders were great too !

Craft was recommended by a tour guide at Binghamton University, said they had the best sliders. Indeed they do. I had the Korean pork belly and the chicken slider. The pork belly was tender and the overall taste was delicious. My daughter had the craft tray. I would def come back to try more .

First time here. The atmosphere was pretty chill. I liked the look of the whole place. The food was really good. The choose your own sliders in either a 2 pick or 3 pick was excellent. Pricing was reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. I really can not say enough of this place. Our server Mara was amazing. Even though it was busy for a Sunday, she handled almost the entire restaurant single handedly and checked on us multiple times. She is an asset to Craft!!! A will be back! I gotta try the sweet potato tots!
