Best Casual Restaurants in Fullerton

First time experienced and we loved it! Food was great!

My meal was superb--Chilean seabass Nayarit Salad. My daughers each ordered a Mexican dish (shrimp enchiladas-Camarones a la Diabla) and both were so spicy it ruined the meal for them. We didn't complain and probably should have asked about the spice level.

Amazing dishes prepared by Chef Gabbie. We know her name bc after eating here we really wanted to know who the genius was behind such original, flavorful, and beautiful dishes. She turned out to be just as engaging and enjoyable as her food was. This place is an absolute must-try. The dino ribs were melt in your mouth. I would never order meatballs normally but the internet said to do so and we were so glad we did, insanely deep flavors. The pork chop was unlike any preparation I’d had before. It was resting on a bed of rice which was resting in a French onion soup and the flavors melded together like poetry. Internet also said to order the patatas bravas. When they came out they accidentally brought two orders to our table and we told them we only ordered one. After our first bites we lamented having them take the second one away bc these potatoes were PERFECTION. These were all heavy and deep flavors so we also had an amazing salmon crudo that just popped with freshness and brightness. Perfect counter to the other proteins we were having. Will absolutely return! Thank you Chef Gabbie and team. From maitre d to waitress to chefs you were all amazing.

This was my first time dining at Craft by Smoke and Fire, and I can honestly say it was the best barbecue I've ever had. The flavors were absolutely amazing, with each dish cooked to perfection. The meats were tender, juicy, and packed with smoky goodness, and the sides were the perfect complement. Every bite was a true delight. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their incredible barbecue!
