This place just isn't it! I have been here five times, and each time I leave, I always tell myself that it's my last. Our most recent visit was by far the worst. We had a larger group come in for dinner and they sat us at the back of the restaurant, which was great as we had more space. We were told that they didn't have high chairs, so the 4 toddlers that were with us, were expected to sit on us (if you're a parent, that's almost laughable.) Our food took 2 hours and 15 min to arrive. My daughter's kids noodle dish , which is supposedly a Mac n' Cheese had added chicken. This was so dry that I didn't let her eat the chicken as it was almost a choking hazard - It was the texture of jerky, and you could tell how long it had been sitting under a heating lamp as it was almost transparent. And no, I'm not just being dramatic. I've never seen a protein look like this. (It also $14) Now for the lovely and super-friendly servers. (the lady with the short bob and thick-rimmed glasses is the real winner... not) The passive looks they gave as they walked by our table with the kids, the yelling from them to grab our kids as we stood in line for the bathroom that shared a narrow hallway that goes back to the kitchen. One server I caught eating potato chips (with no gloves) from someone's order as they were waiting on an additional dish. The drinks tasted like there may have been .5 ounces of alcohol in each. It's like they wanted us to feel how unwanted we were - and that they achieved. It was awkward, and uncomfortable and made us quite anxious. This place is overpriced, trying way too hard to be something it's not, just blah all around. My guess is that compared to all the other wonderful places in Edmonds, they will be out of business in the next couple of years.

We have given Leftcraft multiple chances. Every time we have been, we have left saying they have so much potential but it was such a let down. And now after 5 chances, it is what it is. Their service is very hit and miss, we have had good service and AWFUL service to the point. Food wise, it is extremely overpriced and the food is not anywhere close to worth it. Their burgers are 20 bucks and they are the driest burgers I have ever had, not to mention they are small and served with chips rather than fries. I have yet to try something that was good enough to order again and worth the price. Lastly, I would consider this a spot for families. Loud, large tables, casual, bland/basic food...expect they don't have high chairs? And they seem annoyed when kids are there. My suggestion, get high chairs and embrace families and kids. Leftcraft ALWAYS has open tables on the weekend when everywhere else is full. Overall, I feel like they want to be a high end restaurant that just completely misses when it comes to service and food quality.

$9.00 for a rather small beer plus tip.Think about it.

Staff is awesome, but is unfortunately abused by large parties of immature Gen X and Millennial parents who still dress like they're 23 and can't be bothered to parent their kids and restrain their nervous Bernese mountain dogs when in public after 2 to 3 drinks. Atmosphere is chaotic as expected considering the clientele. Food is super disappointing. Avoid.

They get a '3' for at least having Pliny the Younger (briefly). The food menu has some delectable-sounding names/descriptions - but unfortunately, it doesn't translate to the actual item once it arrives at your table. Potato bites: barely warm and obviously prepared too far in advance; pork belly Mac & cheese: pork belly was cooked to death and tasted like overdone roast; and we were REALLY looking forward to trying the cornbread - but unfortunately it was so dry and crumbly you couldn't even pick it up, let alone spread honey butter on it. So - we'll return for the beer (maybe) because it's a cute place with good beer options, but we certainly won't be eating there.

Staff, atmosphere, and drinks were excellent, but food needs some work. Pot pie was burned on bottom and flatbread wasn't crispy. Could also do with some more outdoor seating.

Best food and awesome drinks. Not sure why someone would give this place less than 5 stars.

If you've read the reviews, you can see that this place is hit-or-miss on some of its features. Unfortunately, we were there on a "miss" day. Leftcraft is a great concept in a great location. Their menu is great, and their food is also great - when it's served properly. Husband loved his king salmon sandwich with potato salad and it looked amazing. My order was their signature salad which has salmon, scallops and shrimp with mixed greens. When it arrived I didn't see the seafood and assumed it was hidden in this rather bodacious salad. I did not find any and pointed out to the bartender, who said he "thought it looked a little naked." First clue: server wasn't tuned in at all to ensure the order was correct. The kitchen was then on point to cook up the seafood to complete the order. Now, I have cooked seafood and it might take 5-7 minutes tops, but I waited nearly 20 minutes for 3 baby scallops, 3 shrimp and about 4-5 oz salmon. Did I mention we were the only customers at this point? When it arrived the tail was left on one shrimp but not all. Do it all or don't. Upon checking out, I asked the server if I was expected to pay for this salad and he said nothing, took my card and charged us for the total meal. SO. Go there because it's a neat place with lots of taps and good food, but don't have any expectations about the service, staff competence, or fairness.
Great casual restaurant in downtown Edmonds. My husband and I decided to try it out on Sunday. Nice atmosphere and beautiful woodwork used to define areas. Really like the family style seating. Every table was dirty when we entered so we waited for one to be cleared. There was only 1 waitress and the bartender to help customers. We gave our order and excitedly waited for our order. We ordered the twice baked potatoes. It said that they were small Yukons. when it can we both laughed. There were 4 of the smallest half potatoes I have ever seen for $14! And they didn't knock my socks off with flavor. We then had a salad. It was generous and delicious. Fresh and flavorful. And finally we had the 1/2 Chicken $26, it was ok. A little dry and the vegetables served with it were unidentifiable. The flat bread was very good. The bartender was amazing. Aware of customers and very efficient. The waitress was useless. Carrying single items back and forth and never attempting to reset any of the tables even though she had ample time and opportunities. Lack of training or lack of work ethic?

Grabbed a few appetizers to enjoy before an event at the art center. The food was good. I enjoyed my root beer. My husband ordered a mocktail and said it was okay.The atmosphere was nice. It was chill on the Sunday late afternoon when we visited.We will visit again to try other items on the menu.

Great casual eatery with many tables, great beer selection, variety of food options that are simple and good. Seems kid friendly.
