Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Craft & Cleaver in St Albans is celebrated for its "fantastic" American-style BBQ and wide craft beer selection. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, enhanced by "friendly staff" and excellent service. Although occasionally slow, the food is "worth the wait," with standout dishes like burnt ends and beef ribs. A dog-friendly spot with a beautiful garden, it's ideal for special occasions or relaxed dining.

    We asked twice for our drinks when people around us that came later were already drinking theirs, our main meals were very nice, unfortunately the Mac and cheese was dry and flavourless. No one came to take orders for drinks so i couldn’t wash my food down. Then we say waiting for someone to get us the bill. It’s at times like this I really begrudge paying service charge

    Really nice place, good vibe. House Lager was one of the best I’ve had. Food was cooked really well, classic taste, crispy chips. Really happy with the service and over all food.

    We had the sharing platter which was delicious. Friendly staff too. It was quite quiet in there but we really like the music that was playing and we would definitely go back

    Really good food service is great. Proper rustic place, a little cold in the restaurant - could have a slightly warmer vibe. But we loved it

    The restaurant was so cold and not one radiator was on. We sat in our coats. It took over 45minutes for our food. Me and my son had the beef brisket we got 6 cubes of meat and over half of these was just fat no meat. My other son asked for a side of seasonal slaw which came after he finished his dinner! All the dishes that came with fries the portions were 1/2 full! Very disappointing as our 1st visit was much better with proper portions. Very expensive for the portion sizes
