This place is awesome! Great food, great service and a nice ambiance. It’s a great spot after a hike or for a nice lunch. Highly recommend the poke bowl. They have gluten free bread for sandwiches.

If you’re in town, check it out! Can’t go wrong here.

Great Service, but Value Could Be Better

We had a nice time at Craftsman’s Brew Co. in Edwards. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and our server, Stephanie, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. However, we did feel like the value for the price was a bit lacking. It would have been nice if fries came with the meal or protein was included on the salad, instead of being an extra charge. The food was tasty, but these small upsells left us wishing they were part of the overall meal. Overall, a solid experience with great service, but the value could be improved.

T smashburger was on point, the wings need a little work. A little soggy with no crispiness. Service was excellent except that when we were being seated the entire restaurant was empty except for one table which we got set right next to. Definitely don't do that.
He got cocktails during happy hour which were the old fashioned and Margarita. Margarita was made with a premix which I never recommend. Always needs to be fresh squeeze lime. That being said, the old fashioned was perfect. Stirred not shaken. Nice.

Had a great post hike lunch and beer. Poke bowl was delicious. Parmesan fries were huge and very good. Sat at the bar and the bartender took good care of us. Good selection of beer, especially lagers. Dixie Wolf saison was very good.

Had the mushroom Ruben with a side salad and it was the perfect size lunch! Great flavor profile with a little tanginess in the sauce ?
Nicole was my server and she was very attentive and had phenomenal customer service skills!

Hard meh. Took us 20 mins to get drinks after we sat down. We decided to just get the check and head to a different place after we saw that another table hadn't ordered for 30 minutes. Seemed like there were more kids than adults on the patio - not a bad thing, but they were getting a little unruly and I had to walk around a bunch of discarded kid toys just to get to the bathroom. Felt expensive for what you get.

Fantastic food found at Craftsman! This establishment has moved slightly from its original location, but is still in the same general area of Edwards Riverwalk Roundabout. It was easy to find and there is plenty of parking in the plaza. I enjoyed grabbing food here for lunch recently when I was visiting the area, and tried the Oven Roasted Tomato Soup, Hot Chicken Sandwich, and the Schmidt Mac. Everything was flavorful and hit the spot after I had a morning hike. The food was really good and inventive! The menu had a nice variety and was priced as you would expect for being close to a ski town.
Service was ok until we needed the check. Our table had been cleared and we were trying to flag down our waiter to ask for the check, but he was busy attending to other tables. We were able to get the attention of the manager on duty, who came over and made some rude remark to us because we were gesturing for the check. He gave us the mobile POS device so that we could be on our way, however we could have done without the nasty attitude. I have never encountered something like this coming from a “manager”.
I’m not expecting a manager to make small talk with the table, but being rude and having an attitude towards customers is inexcusable. It doesn’t matter how great the food is - customer service is what people remember! There are plenty of other places in town for locals and visitors alike to spend money for a tasty lunch or dinner, a manager with a bad attitude will never fly in my opinion. I’m a fan of the food here at Craftsman, and it was some of the best tasting food I had while visiting, but the customer service needs to match the excellence of the food. Another thing to keep in mind is that on the menu it mentions a 5% surcharge will be added to all checks to support the staff, and you can let the staff know if you would like it removed, something to be aware of when it comes to calculating the tip. I wish the owners success with this larger location, but who wants to go back to a place and spend money where the staff is rude, certainly not me.

The chicken sandwich was very very good, however there were very few options on the menu for people who don't like hot spicy food. I understand it's a resort town and prices will be higher but $20 for a sandwich is pretty crazy.. Michael at the bar is top notch.
