In recent years, gastropubs have emerged as a popular dining option, captivating food enthusiasts with their unique blend of gourmet cuisine and traditional pub culture. The term “gastropub” was coined in the early 1990s in the United Kingdom.
Located on busy Maple Avenue in Fairlawn, The Craftsman holds two dining rooms on the main floor: one with “a relaxed sports bar feel” and many televisions, while a more intimate setting awaits on the other side, with a bar on each of those sides. An enclosed garden room called the parlor provides additional seating options with a drag show while we were there, and an event space is available upstairs.
Upon entering as first-timers late Saturday morning, my partner and I were greeted by the host without a reservation and got a table by the window in one of their dining rooms, evoking a sense of welcoming and comfort vibe where patrons can gather, socialize, and enjoy a laid-back environment.
Their diverse menu consists of contemporary American cuisine with an Irish influence of high-quality dishes, from classic comfort foods to seasonal specialties crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. They often boast an impressive selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails.
We decided on their brunch menu consisting of Short Ribs Skillet and Steak and Eggs. We washed them down with Schöfferhofer (unfiltered wheat beer with grapefruit juice).
The food and drinks were amazing. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The service was absolutely spectacular; every staff member was kind and attentive. Our server was J(esus).
Whether one’s a foodie seeking new flavors or someone looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a meal with friends, a gastropub provides the ideal setting, which is why we can recommend this place.

I recently had the opportunity to dine at this establishment for brunch with a colleague. Overall, the experience was satisfactory. While the coconut French toast I ordered could have benefited from enhanced flavor, the accompanying hash browns were quite palatable, albeit slightly over-seasoned. The restaurant’s ambiance was pleasant; however, the height of the booths presented a potential accessibility concern, particularly for guests with disabilities, as no apparent accommodations were observed. I would rate my experience a 3.5 out of 5. I would recommend this restaurant primarily to individuals who consume meat, as the vegetarian and vegan options, especially on the brunch menu, were limited. Thank you for your attention to these observations.

I had the best Galentine’s brunch at The Craftsman in Fair Lawn! The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were on point, and the atmosphere was perfect for catching up with my girlfriends. Everything felt warm, welcoming, and beautifully put together. Such a great spot for brunch with friends — we’ll definitely be back!

I reserved a lunch spot here for Saturday noon. Upon arrival we were taken to our table right away. I was mesmerized by the stunning interior of the restaurant. The closed outdoor had the beautiful leafy decor hanging from the ceiling. The sitting area inside also had rustic wooden furnishing alongside a big bar.
The menu had lots of good appetizers, burgers, salad and entrees. We started with the delicious calamari plate. Unlike other places, this dish wasn’t plain, they had some cucumber and greens with it too. I got the crabby patty for entree. It was a good burger with moist soft crab cake patty. The short rib skillet was also an excellent dish. Really well flavor steak, eggs were nicely cooked. We also got the berry waffle that was fluffy and sweet, with strawberry, blueberry and whipped cream on top. We all liked all the dishes we had
The service was nice. Our server was mostly on top of everything despite serving multiple tables. Other staff members were also assisting with cleaning out empty plates. Overall this was an exceptional dine-in both esthetically and food wise.

I had a wonderful experience at The Craftsman in Fair Lawn, NJ. The service was excellent — the staff were attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. All of the food we ordered was excellent, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The coffee was just okay, but that’s a small detail compared to how pleasant the overall experience was. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I would absolutely love to go back!

Garden and flowery decor inside the restaurant. Unique and beautiful for the dining area.
Food is great. Love the calamari. The lemony dressing on top with light salad go very well with the calamari. I also had steak and egg. They were cooked beautifully. Flavorful. I wish the portion is bigger.
Service is great. Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious seating. Bathroom is clean. Definitely a good place for brunch or date nights.

My friends and I visited on a Friday night, and when we first arrived, it wasn’t very crowded. However, as the evening progressed, the place did get quite busy, which created a lively atmosphere. The food was excellent, and the ambiance was truly enjoyable, with a great vibe that made the whole experience feel comfortable and welcoming.
The only downside I would mention is the valet parking. While I understand the convenience for some, I personally didn’t see the need for it, especially since the parking lot is directly attached to the building. It felt a bit unnecessary to have someone park my car when I could have easily walked just a few steps to park and head inside.
Overall, though, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely consider coming back again!

Randomly found this place on quick road trip and I would drive back. Such a great vibe! Food was amazing. We had Saturday brunch. Toasted marshmallow espresso-tini was so so good! Our waitress Taylor was fabulous! Couldn’t be happier that we stumbled upon this place. Cheers to our friend Angie who’s memorial we were supposed to be going to, but after 2 wrong directions and a highway patrol road closure, we ended up here.
