I've gone to Craftsman multiple times, and never reviewed them because I always left disappointed. I live in the neighborhood and wanted nothing more than to love the place, but it was always just blah.
About two weeks ago they hired a new chef, and WOW! It is fantastic now and I'm so happy to have this place so close to my house! He has made just small changes to the menu so far but they have made a huge difference. Even the lettuce in the salads is better.
We started with the curry poutine which was amazing. I dream about it. I will go back to Craftsman just for that. My husband got a burger and it was so juicy and full of flavor! Before, it was just fine. Nothing special. I got the chicken and smoked cheddar salad, which could possibly be one of the best salads I've ever had. The lettuce was fresh, the bacon was crunchy, and their buttermilk ranch dressing is addicting.
If you have gone to Craftsman in the past and were not impressed, stop back in now.
