The chicken and churros is amazing. The bartenders put in the effort to make every drink unique. Social atmosphere and outdoor seating if you prefer.

When we walked in, the person who would end up being our server just blew right past us- even after we smiled and said hello. We ordered 2 fountain drinks that tasted awful. Aside from the flavoring for the drinks likely being generic (which is fine), the syrup was clearly running out and we were served watered down soda.
The truffle honey popcorn chicken was good. The Brie, goat cheese and jam was okay- it only came with a few pieces of toasted bread that was not proportionate to the amount of Brie. The Caesar salad was okay, however, I ordered mine with grilled chicken and it had what probably equated to one chicken tender or less worth of meat on it. I did appreciate that the ceaser dressing was more authentic than at most restaurants. At first, I told my boyfriend to make sure that he didn’t get charged for the chicken, because there was so little. I couldn’t even see it on there. My boyfriend said that his sandwich was pretty dry and he didn’t really like it.
Once we received our food, we were not checked on. It was not busy. Although, the staff certainly seemed interested in socializing with only certain tables. It was noticed how friendly they were with some and not others. Pretty strange.
The atmosphere isn’t much of anything. They say it’s “warm and inviting”, but I promise it isn’t. There isn’t really anything about this place that stands out and the dishes did not live up to the expectations that the menu set.

Stopped in for our Thursday night dinner where we try a place we have never been this time Crisp was the choice for our party of 4. We opted to sit outside as it was a beautiful night and we're seated almost immediately. Our server was very friendly and accommodating, we opted for the bacon, deviled eggs, Mac and cheese, pork chop and smash burger. We all agreed that the food and service were good and the bacon was a true selling point. The parking is pretty limited and most folks were on the street we were lucky enough to find a spot behind the restaurant. We would recommend if your in the area looking for a new restaurant to try out.

I have to admit I was a little thrown off by the name, especially as someone who is trying to eat healthier and avoid fried food. Crisp is known for good vegan options, so we gave them a chance and were very glad we did. I was leery of the “crispy vegan burrito,” fearing that it was going to be somehow deep fried, but our waitress explained that it’s so named because the vegetables inside are crunchy. Lol. I ended up LOVING the burrito. It’s a great healthier option (just bursting with vegetables), and I loved that they swapped out the tortilla chips for green beans. My husband got the vegan meatloaf because who can pass up vegan meatloaf? We were warned that the portion is on the smaller side, and it is only a small slice of meatloaf, but it comes with a ton of green beans and a bed of carrot mash, so it ends up being filling. The meatloaf is delicious - chewy and hearty and fresh. We were also extremely impressed with the vegan charcuterie board, made with meats from Grass Fed (epic small batch seitan) and cheese from Spirit and Abundance. It was beautifully assembled and all the meats, cheeses, and accompaniments were tasty. We were so pleased with our meal here. We were glad we got past the weird name and generic aesthetic and gave them a chance. We will definitely be back!

Excellent service. The food was awesome. Had the blackened shrimp with cheese grits. Done to perfection. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options without sacrificing taste!
Food was decent, but the service wasn’t great. Got their baked Brie and goat cheese with jam which was pretty good, but it came with really chewy, not well-toasted bread that was very difficult to eat. Also, the server didn’t warn us or mention anything about how hot it would be, so I ended up severely burning the roof of my mouth to the point where I’m struggling to eat or drink even two days later. Their Harvest Grain Bowl salad was good, but difficult to enjoy with a scalded mouth. Waiter also didn’t check up on us at all during the meal or ask us how our food was.

True to its name Crisp has a wide range of flavorful and textural items. It makes you want to come back. The arancini and chicken with churros are great.

A quick stop after visiting the medical campus. We've never been here before, but it was lovely. Excellent service, food came out promptly and it was steaming hot and freshly prepared. Relaxing atmosphere and prices are competitive. We will be back!

Came for a family dinner reservation on Sunday. Four out of 6 in our party arrived, but we were told we couldn’t be sat until everyone arrived. That meant us standing awkwardly in the waiting area on top of a table that was seated, and also blocked the front door. Not sure why the host couldn’t have seated us, and then made a note when the final two members arrived, and finally assign a server. We didn’t need service immediately, we just didn’t want to stand in anybody’s way.
After we were finally sat, our waitress Margo asked us our drink order. We said we would only be having water and that we weren’t alcohol drinkers. She still left the cocktail menu and brought us a singular bottle of water for the table. I’m not sure who designed any of your tableware, but the cups are comically small. This was the only bottle of water we had throughout the dinner, as she barely came over to check on us, and the few times she did silently look at our table, no dirty plates were cleared and she glanced over the now empty water bottle and continued on her merry way. We had to stop the host who looked visibly annoyed with us to bring us water. Even when the host did so, Margo looked at her and didn’t even offer to help.
She forgot an order of bacon with my order.
Food itself is fine but service is like pulling teeth.
Also, get new dipping ramekins for your chips and salsa. It might make it easier for your patrons if they can fit the chip in the friggin jar.
