Cook & Craft is a vibrant neighborhood restaurant with locations on High Street and Scottsdale & Shae. It offers a cozy yet modern atmosphere perfect for gathering with friends or enjoying a relaxed meal. The menu features a creative twist on American comfort food, highlighting fresh ingredients. Whether you're stopping by for lunch, or dinner, Cook & Craft delivers a memorable dining experience with an emphasis on quality and flavor. The friendly staff, craft cocktails, and inviting outdoor patio make it a go-to spot for both locals and visitors alike.
The bar offers a wide range of handcrafted cocktails, from inventive signature drinks to timeless classics, all made with high-quality spirits and fresh, unique ingredients. Whether you're in the mood for a refreshing seasonal cocktail, a glass of wine, or a locally brewed craft beer, Cook & Craft has something to satisfy every palate. While the majority of their drinks you will find on their main menu, if you stop by during their Happy Hour (Daily from 3:30pm - 6:30pm) you can also find a lot of great deals on some wines, beers, and speciality cocktails.
Talking about happy hour, there are some great small bites you can grab as well during that time. From their Caprese Cocktail to Cauliflower Wings and their Wagyu Sliders, there's some great finds. I especially enjoyed the Cauliflower Wings. You can find normal wings on their menu, but this variation replaces your standard chicken wing for large and crispy pieces of cauliflower. They get sauced in a garlic parmesan buffalo sauce and served with a side of cucumber dressing. It's a great combination of flavors and something different to enjoy than the normal wings.
Throughout the rest of the menu you will find a nice selection of salads, sandwiches, and entrees for you to enjoy. When I visited I tried a few of the lighter bites like the Southwest Chopped Cobb, Cranberry Chicken Club and one of their Crafted Grilled Cheeses. I always enjoy a stacked salad and their Southwest Chopped Cobb is loaded with roasted corn, tomatoes, chicken breast, smoked bacon, hardboiled eggs, pickled red onion, queso fresco, avocado, and a cayenne lime dressing. Yes, that's quite a lot for one salad, but every bite was delicious and you could easily share this with 2 people. The Cranberry Chicken Club is a classic sandwich with a nice twist. The cranberry cheese spread gives this sandwich a fun twist of flavor and on a toasted focaccia for some nice crunch. The Crafted Grilled Cheese is perfect for all those grilled cheese lovers. I went with just a classic, but you can create your own with add-on options like tomatoes, bacon, chicken, and short rib. I was in the mood for lighter bites, but you can also find some great burgers and main entrees as well.
Of course you always have to save room for dessert. You will find items like their flourless cake, key lime pie, cheesecake and s'mores.
Cook & Craft on High Street delivers an experience that feels both familiar and fresh. Whether you're there to savor their comforting dishes, enjoy a meticulously crafted cocktail, or simply unwind with good company, this spot is a place where community and creativity come together. It's more than just a meal—it's a celebration of flavor, hospitality, and the joy of sharing great food and drinks.
