Crawford and Son offers a remarkable dining experience with its dark and intimate interior. The well-crafted and unique cocktails perfectly complement the ambiance. While the menu may be limited in choices, every dish we tried was delicious, and the must-try biscuits left us craving for more. The dessert selection is simply fabulous and shouldn’t be missed. Overall, Crawford and Son is a fantastic dining destination, delivering a memorable culinary journey in a cozy setting.

We thoroughly enjoyed dishes from the raw menu and some of the appetizers. From the drink menu, I found it interesting their wine list was $58+. We were a bit underwhelmed with the hangar steak and pork chop entrees as the hangar steak just tasted of an odd barbecue smoke more than seasoned and the pork chop was overly fatty and slightly undercooked. I’d say for a restaurant of this caliber we were expecting more but still enjoyed our time.

The heirloom tomato salad and manchego herb biscuits were amazing. Would highly recommend. Great service from the staff very friendly. The entrees were good but the highlights were the appetizers.

Great until the salty steak! Cocktails were delicious and spot on. Manchego biscuits melted in your mouth. Rigatoni was pretty good, though lobster was a bit tough and not sure I’d order again. But I was so disappointed in the main dish though, the hanger steak. Would have been great but they way over salted. I like salt on my steak, but I was literally scraping off the flakes. Unfortunately our server did not check in with us until we were done. I told her and she said she’d tell the chef. Took home the rest of the steak, which I might actually feed to the dog, though I worry about the salt for her! Videri Chocolate Mousse was fantastic. Atmosphere is great if you want a hip, bustling vibe.

We celebrated my fiancés birthday here after hearing it was quite acclaimed in Raleigh. The atmosphere was lovely, very dark and moody, with background music.

I celebrated my birthday at Crawford and Son. Originally, I had planned to go to Stanbury, a place on my list for ages. However, Stanbury doesn’t take reservations and the wait at 8:30 p.m. was 1.5 hours long. Faced with that, we decided to stroll over to Crawford and Son, which had also been on my list for years. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly. Our server, Caroline was fantastic, offering great recommendations. The word was that the biscuits were a must-try, and after tasting them, I wholeheartedly agree – they were incredibly delicious!

The first time I came to Crawford and Son was a few months before this review. I happened to pop in for a cocktail and a light appetizer. Despite the restaurant being swamped, the hostess was kind enough to find me a seat at the bar.

Enjoyed a celebratory dinner at Crawford and Son tonight, as usual the food absolutely blew us away! The food and service never ceases to amaze. Caroline, our server, took fantastic care of us and made us feel like the VIPs of the evening. Crawford is our favorite restaurant in all of downtown Raleigh!
