It's been about 4 years since our last visit and I'm not exactly sure why. The Wagu burgers selections have something for everyone. From eggs and hollandaise to mushrooms and Swiss, I'm sure you'll find something you like. There are also a few vegetarian options along with chicken and hot dogs. The craft beer selection, wines and drinks ensure you can get your fix. When you're craving a burger on Shore Drive, its a must stop.

Was craving a burger so I drove 20 minutes to get the habanero firecracker burger. My food came out pretty quick. I love spice and this burger is only for people with a high tolerance really it’s hot. Loved my burger they nailed the temp on it. Didn’t like the very hard stem of lettuce that was on it though I had to take it off. I was excited for the sweet potato fries and the sauce but they missed that mark today. Fries were totally soggy and just mush I threw them all away.

Craft Burger Bar knocked it out of the park. The food was absolutely amazing. fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was even better; our server went above and beyond without missing a beat. Drinks were stellar, and when the bill came, we were genuinely shocked at how affordable it was for the quality we got. Easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!

Craft Burger Bar is a must-visit for anyone who loves a great burger. The patties are juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just the way you like them. What sets this place apart is the creativity—you can build your own or choose from their signature options, all loaded with unique toppings and flavors that actually work. The sides are just as impressive—crispy fries, onion rings, and other comfort food favorites done right. Pair it with a cold beer or a cocktail, and you’ve got the perfect combo. The atmosphere is casual but stylish, with a fun vibe that makes it a great spot for friends, family, or even a laid-back date. Service is fast and friendly, and everything feels fresh and consistent. If you’re craving a burger that goes beyond the basics, Craft Burger Bar delivers big time.

I've heard about this place but I never been here before I heard they had good burgers and they were rated best in the 757 because of it. Boy oh boy was that accurate. The burgers were so fresh and juicy on the inside also seasoned and flavorful. Each bite was better than the last. The buns were really good too, they were toasted on the bottom half but still soft in the center. If you love burgers this is most definitely the place to go. The staff all work together and everyone checks on you. The owner brought the food to the table and did it with a smile. A1 top notch place.

Wind down the day with a Whiskey Burger and sweet potato fries with yummy sweet dipping sauce! This juicy burger is loaded with fried pimento cheese, bacon, onion straws, and bbq sauce for the win! My husband loves hot and spicy so if that’s your thing go for the Habanero Firecracker! Watch out! The beer choices on tap are on point! Love the tator tots too! They have outdoor seating to have a pre-game drink too! Great location for a post Chesapeake Bay beach day! Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere with big booth seating. Craving a burger now? Go!

I've taken out from Craft probably a half dozen times. I have yet to dine in. Overall I have been satisfied with the operation after being a customer for over five years. Staff usually has my order prepared upon arrival leaving my house after putting in the order, so roughly 15 minutes. The staff has also has been friendly and remembers my order. I also want to mention they have a good bourbon selection. My order of a craft house build burger with waffle fries. They use quality Greg Norman Waygu beef. My only complaint is the fries do not heat up well and have been soggy. I haven't been back for a while, but a long overdue review for a strong business. Recommend!
