Ordered a lamb burger under the entree section, and the serving size agrees. A little bit surprised that the olives are stuffed inside the burger, which is a great try. But I would still prefer more Olives as a side serving.Vegetarian options: SaladsKid-friendliness: Kid friendly with great waitressesParking: NoWheelchair accessibility: YesDietary restrictions: Keto unfriendly, even though you can skip the bread

Not too busy right now but absolutely pleasant and attentive staff. And the food is SPECTACULAR. And plugs to change my phone while I wait for my flight? Yes please! I’ll be back ?

Service is fast & friendly. The food is good. The Salmon BLT was recommended over the fish taco (which includes shrimp instead of a fish). I really like the fries and my Asian Salad.

On Monday, February 24th, I walked in with 16 family members all waiting for our flight to Madrid. They met us, said absolutely no problem. The majority ordered burgers (all different kinds offered) - they were delicious!!! The wait staff was so courteous, prompt and delightful. If you're waiting for a flight - go to Crave Robata Grill & Bar - so very worth it!

Bang Bang Shrimp with fries. Very tasty and the fries came out hot and fresh. Only took about 8 minutes to get my order. They're fast!

The food at Crave was decent; being an airport restaurant, I went in with low expectations. But, our salads and food we ordered here were large, and tasty. We ordered a bloody mary, and the server mixed up the order....but, she handled it very well, changed the order without batting an eye, and adjusted our bill for a few extra dollars off. Mistakes happen, and the staff here handled this one very well, with a smile on her face the whole time. Of course, this is an airport restaurant, so the prices are a bit high, but that's to be expected. I wouldn't hesitate to return here for a bite to eat, or a drink, while at Metro Airport.

Honestly... thought maybe I was being punked? I honestly lower my standards when Im in an airport bar but this was actually mind boggling. I stood at the hostess station for a while waiting to be addressed by anY of the waitstaff and finally just went up to the bar and asked if I was able to seat myself- she looked grumpy but told me yes. Ok no big deal. So I sit down and after two minutes of no acknowledgement the waitress finally walks over hands me a menu and says 'do you know what you want to drink?' ... well no because you just gave me the menu so... she walks away, after another two minutes go bye she comes back. The whole time she seems irritated with me but I order a cocktail and a 'rice bowl.' As I'm waiting for my food i overhear her flirting with the guys behind me telling them she would NEVER LET THEM ORDER THE RICE BOWL and that it's terrible. Lol... I get this stupid rice bowl and it waS in fact- terrible. She forgot the dressing to my salad which I had to wait around for until I could get her attention. I got my $40 bill (1 terrible rice bowl, 1 mediocre cocktail), signed my tab and left. Do yourself a favor and eat anywhere else while you're on your layover at DTW.

This was a great find for a layover. This pub area is at the end of terminal A, and was quiet and quick (I sat down at noon on a Friday). The airport premium on their burgers was basically nil - I got a waygu burger with fig and havarti and parmesan fries for $15, which wouldn't be out of place at any in-city restaurant. It seems fairer than paying $10 for a small pre-packaged turkey wrap a few feet away, anyway. Kimberly served me and was genuinely warm and attentive. I always had a full glass of water. She went out of her way when I asked what brand of gluten free bun they had used - it was surprisingly convincing with a great texture (Hilltop Hearth, fyi). And yes, GF people rejoice! Not only do they have gluten free options, they don't charge an "allergy tax" to substitute!

The short rib street taco is the best street taco I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying!!!
Had a 3 hour layover and was starving. This place is at the end of the A terminal and is relative quiet. Yay! Walked in and sat myself. Plenty of seats. Prices are expensive. But it's the airport right? Jack Daniels burger $15 and a glass of Chardonnay $12. Food was good but served on a chipped plate. Service ... eh. I asked twice for silverware and never got it. Server brought my bill then disappeared. It's been 12 mins. Since since I've seen her. Good think I have a looooong layover!

Came in at the end of the dinner rush and hundreds were heading to their flights. The server ignored me for over half an hour. I only got served because the maitre'd noticed that I hadn't even been acknowledged by my server (NB: I saw him direct her to me after he sat me). Then my order came, that the manager had placed, and it was wrong. The waiter who finally acknowledged my presence only did so to bring me the check--all before I had seen a hint of food. Thank goodness I didn't have a flight to catch...oh wait! I'm in an airport...eat elsewhere.

Our flight got delayed and had to wait until the next morning to fly out, huge bummer! But after a long trip from New York, a place where it's very little or close-to-none friendly, my boyfriend and I stopped here for our connecting flight and what can I say, god bless Terry. A man who makes the best mimosas and bloody Mary's. He was very polite and talkative, made our trip back so much smoother and seriously, just an overall better mood to our trip back. The drinks were by far the best (very wise on how drinks are made), but the service was better. He felt like a friend. Thank you Terry for talking to us and making our day brighter. Whenever we come back to this airport, we will definitely stop back without a doubt. I'll make sure to tell people about this place and especially about Terry and his drinks! Good drinks with a better service? Seriously hard to find now a days.

This is my first time here, even though I've had many opportunities to try it, there always seemed like better places to try in the airport. But, I decided that it was time to give a Crave a shot. I started with their "chili-miso broth". Now, I love a good miso soup. And I like spicy stuff. But this was not a pleasant miso soup. The flavor was decent, but the chili was overwhelming. The chili wasn't the "set your mouth on fire" kind. This was the "tickle your throat till you end up coughing and hacking" kind of spice... almost similar to when someone sprays a can of pepper-spray in the vicinity and you get a whiff of it. Unfortunately, I spent the rest of my time at Crave coughing and hacking. Perhaps whoever made it that day had someone bump his arm as he was adding the chili. The fish and chips was accompanied by a sauce, fries, a small sea-weed salad, and citrus. The sea-weed salad was surprisingly sweet, but not too bad - after the first couple confused bites, I eventually decided that I liked it and finished it though I did bite down on a couple pieces of inedible/unidentifiable things that looked like bits of wood - perhaps from a wooden mixing spoon or something? Definitely hurt my teeth. :( The fries were crispy and quite decent. Unfortunately, the best thing about fish n chips should not be the fries. The fish wasn't... awful. But it wasn't something I'd order again either. It was bland, the batter on the bottom was very dark and hard to eat, and the interior was quite greasy which I think is why it had an odd after-taste. Oh well. I'm not sure I'll be back unless I get sick of the airport's other offerings.

This is in Delta's concourse A by gate A6. When we came in, it was difficult to find a clean seat as all the tables had not been wiped down even though it was not busy at all and staff were standing around talking. We sat down and were greeted immediately. My husband and I thought the food was better than most airport options. I ordered the turkey panini which comes with truffle fries. It was decent and I enjoyed the sandwich. I wish the description would have mentioned truffle fries since I am lactose intolerant but my husband ate the fries instead. My husband ordered the noodle bowl and added a chicken skewer to it. He said it had good flavor and was a bit spicy, which he liked so be aware if you like that kind of thing. Food didn't take too long, only about 10 minutes or so. It was about $35 for two meals plus a pop. Not a bad option when settling for airport food.
