I’d go here for the vibe alone -loved the decor and music. AND the food was sooooo good! We had the pork chop last time -BF said it was the best he’s ever had. Had the chicken breast this time -so juicy. Green beans and collard greens were super flavorful AND AND the sweet potato cornbread was an unexpected gourmet dessert. All reasonable prices too. 5 stars all around (forgot to take a before picture, but here’s the after )

So I came across this particular restaurant on TikTok a few days ago and I’m always up for supporting a black business and of course I love some good soul food. So my brother and I took a trip out to Pafhtown and it’s quite a ways out, was hoping it would be worth the trip. So the overall aesthetic of the place is pretty decent. It was clean. It was neat. The atmosphere was OK but the music was way too loud. That was one waitress there was no proper greeting like hello thank you guys for coming to crave, Nothing like that. She immediately told us of all of the items on the menu that were not available. Lol “ I know, collard greens, no salmon, and there’s signature dish. They were already out of lamb chops anyway I ordered the pork chops, mac & cheese, and green beans. The green beans were straight from the can with no flavor, the mac & cheese was severely dry with a big lump of cheese in the middle of it. The pork chops were OK but lacked a lot of flavor and very greasy overall it was not a good experience and the prices were a bit overpriced for the quality of food. Anyway, although it wasn’t a good experience I’m glad I could support a black business. I hope they will improve

Very good dining experience here, the food was good. I ordered a special which was salmon bites a little to salty for me, but what made that up was the sides everything was good the cornbread was very good, collards tasteful, baked beans, and Mac and cheese I recommend. My homie got the baked chicken and he was pleased.

Crave Southern Palate went above and beyond! I placed a big last-minute Thanksgiving order for my housing program, and they delivered the day before the holiday. The food was fresh, delicious, and they even made baked turkey wings for us—something not on their regular menu. Exceptional service and outstanding food. Highly recommend!

So I noticed this restaurant on TikTok. Thank you for introducing it to me and my family . We did take out last night at this restaurant. Let’s start with the atmosphere nice, clean, beautiful and relaxing. Secondly, the food was phenomenal! You get plenty of food for your money. Plus the prices are very reasonable. As for the taste, everything was season, just right. Lastly, customer service was okay, but the wait time for our takeout was a little bit long for me. Just give yourself extra time to wait. Therefore, I do recommend anyone to go try this restaurant out. Note I did had the chicken and waffles.

The food was very good and seasoned perfectly. My only issue was with the lamb chops, the price listed on the menu did not match the price on my bill. I expect to pay the price shown on the menu, not something different when the check arrives. Please either update the menu or let customers know upfront about any changes.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
My husband and I were scrolling through TikTok looking for a new spot to try when we stumbled across Crave and we’re so glad we did! Even though I’m usually a bit hesitant to try new places, this one did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, everything was on point. The food was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. And let me just say that cornbread! So soft, so flavorful… absolutely delicious. I ordered the lamb chops, and they were everything I hoped for and more juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Yum yum!
We enjoyed every bite and every moment. We’ll definitely be back!

Went for lunch with my wife and we both had the Lamb Chops. They were amazing, I had the jerk style and she had the sweet Thai chili style. The yams were yamming, okra were just right and the sweet tea was perfect. Will be back for the salmon, they said it was good. Will put that to the test.
