If your perfect restaurant has a wall of beer, find yourself here.

September 23, 2024

Downtown Kings Mountain is always growing and changing. New shops are opening and bringing the latest trends in fashion and home decor. Restaurants are changing their menus to bring in fresh ingredients for the season. This change is a good thing. It keeps visitors like you coming back to see what is new and different.

This week, visitors to downtown may notice a hint of smoked barbecue filling the air. Follow your nose and you’ll end up at Crave. New to downtown this year, Crave has already become a must-visit culinary stop.

A visit to Crave is all about making hard decisions. The first being, what are you going to eat? The menu has something for everyone. The Chicago, Cheesy Mac, The Nacho, Memphis -and those are just the craveable hotdogs. Throw in BBQ Nachos and Tacos, smoked brisket, pulled pork or chicken plus five different BBQ sauces and you, my friend, have a delicious dilemma. Whatever you decide, you’ll make a good decision. Especially if that decision includes a side of corn nuggets, loaded tots and leaving room for the warm pineapple upside down cake.

But the meal is only one part of your experience at Crave. The restaurant itself is designed to make you sit down and stay awhile. Large individual and family style tables fill the room. A Wile E., Coyote mural adorns one wall while a wall of beer beckons from the other. Board games are lined up on shelves for the taking, waiting for the next showdown. There’s even an area you can try your hand at ax throwing. (SUGGESTION: Make sure to de-barbecue sauce your hands before attempting to throw sharp objects). This is definitely a restaurant you want to go to with friends and family, where the company you keep is as good as the food.

if you’re looking for something a little different than the norm. If you’re looking to do a little shopping, maybe find something you didn’t expect for yourself. If you are in the mood to hang out with friends and maybe perfect your ax throwing skills. Then, a visit to Downtown Kings Mountain and Crave should be on your must do list. So, plan your next visit today. Walls of beer and warm pineapple upside down cake are waiting. Just saying.
