Foolish Craig's Cafe

Foolish Craig’s is quickly becoming our Easter brunch tradition. It’s in a fantastic location on east Pearl where you can browse a few nearby shops in case of a wait, which there often is on weekends. (Tip: get yourself on the waitlist before heading over) Everything was delicious as usual, and portions are large. My husband just ate a little from all of our plates (Belgian waffles, the Foolish Craig crepes, a breakfast burrito, and blintzes) and we still left with a to-go box. We added an order of Million Dollar bacon this time, but it wasn’t our favorite - a few strips of bacon sitting in a pool of syrup. We expected something a little more interesting, and it was fine but we won’t order that again.

Service was great. Waiter was very kind. And the location is very nice. That’s where the good stops. The French toast was abysmal. Essentially just bread chopped into little bites as if I was some sort of toddler. Bacon was like plastic sheets with red40 food colouring. I can see why they call it Foolish Craigs, the chef must be named Craig.

Unbelievable lunch! My daughter had the Reuben sandwich with onion rings and it was perfect! My son ordered the California club sandwich great portion size and really crispy bacon! Service was a plus they even brought some bacon out for my dogs and gave them a big bowl filled with water. We tried the crabcakes for appetizer and debris with baguette and it was absolutely delicious.

I was actually on my way to Snooze Cafe a couple doors down when I got tempted into dining at foolish craigs instead. I wasn't disappointed although I would say they are equally but with different strengths. Our service was excellent, finding that attentive sweet spot just shy of announcing or disruptive. The food was great, I wish I could give 4.5 as my only negative was feeling a bit crammed into a tight space. I had the breakfast burrito and grits on the side...totally hit the spot. My wife had a waffle, eggs, and grits with a side of sausage. Couldn't believe how fast it came out to us either. Definitely coming back

We had about an hour wait for Sunday at noon. It wasn't too bad though since we could walk around and look at shops in the area. We were able to sit outside as well which is our favorite! I would actually give them 4.5 stars. I had the crab cakes Eggs Benedict with a side of grits. Everything needed a little bit of salt but the grits were delicious! My boyfriend and our dining partners all had the challah with french toast and eggs as part of their meal. The only reason I would dock stars is that someone found a hair embedded in their egg. However, when we brought it to their attention, they were quick to apologize and bring out a fresh egg. The service was good.
