What Crave is known for

These are the items and experiences guests mention most in reviews and that define the CRAVE brand -- the things that make it different from a standard casual-dining chain.

Sushi bar

Godzilla Roll

CRAVE's flagship sushi roll: shrimp tempura, cucumber and avocado inside; spicy tuna, tobiko and eel sauce on top. Consistently cited as the must-order item. The sushi bar is a full program, not an afterthought.

American kitchen

CRAVE Burger

An 8 oz hand-crafted beef patty on a toasted brioche bun with aged cheddar and CRAVE sauce. Gluten-free bun available. The burger regularly ranks alongside the sushi as a top-ordered item.

Fan-favorite dessert

Triple Chocolate Cake

Three layers of dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache frosting, served with vanilla ice cream. Mentioned in nearly every positive review -- often described as the best reason to save room for dessert.

Cocktail program

Craft Cocktails

CRAVE's drink menu is described by guests as "visually stunning" -- rotating seasonal craft cocktails alongside classics, sake pairings for the sushi menu, Japanese beers and an extensive wine list.

Private dining

Events & Private Rooms

Private dining rooms are available for birthdays, corporate events and group celebrations. Drop-off catering extends the menu to off-site occasions. CRAVE is a go-to in the Twin Cities for milestone dinners.

Value program

Kids Eat Free + Happy Hour

Kids Eat Free (Sunday-Thursday with a paying adult entree) and a weekday Happy Hour program with discounted cocktails and apps make CRAVE unusually accessible for an upscale-casual concept.

Visitor tips

Tips for dining at Crave

Practical advice for first-time visitors and regulars -- how to get the most out of CRAVE's dual-concept format.

Go hybrid

Order from both sides

CRAVE's design rewards tables that share. Start with the Seared Ahi Tuna and Edamame, order 2-3 sushi rolls for the table, then get individual American entrees. The kitchen coordinates both menus.

Best deal

Happy Hour timing

Happy Hour is the best value entry point at CRAVE -- discounted craft cocktails and select appetizers. Historically Sun-Thu evenings; confirm current hours with your location before going.

Families

Kids Eat Free (Sun-Thu)

One of the best family deals at an upscale-casual concept in the Twin Cities. Kids eat free from the Kids Menu with a paying adult entree, Sunday through Thursday at participating locations.

Groups

Book private dining early

CRAVE's private dining rooms fill up quickly for birthdays and corporate events. Call the restaurant directly or use the reservations tool on craveamerica.com -- book at least 2-3 weeks out for larger groups.

Dietary

GF and vegetarian navigation

Gluten-free bun for burgers, GF entrees (filet, salmon, sashimi), and vegetarian options across the menu. Tell your server upfront about dietary restrictions -- the kitchen can often accommodate.

Drinks

Pair sake with sushi

CRAVE carries a curated sake selection -- hot and cold -- specifically chosen to complement the sushi menu. Ask your server for a sake pairing recommendation when ordering rolls; it significantly elevates the experience.

Dietary guide

Vegetarian, gluten-free, and dietary-friendly picks

CRAVE's dual-concept format makes it easier than most casual-dining restaurants for mixed dietary groups. The sushi bar naturally accommodates many dietary styles; the American kitchen has explicit GF and vegetarian options.

Cross-contact possible. Always inform your server of serious allergies or dietary restrictions before ordering.

Gluten-free entrees: Filet Mignon, Pan-Seared Salmon, most sashimi and nigiri

About Crave

One restaurant, two full menus -- American kitchen and sushi bar under one roof.

CRAVE American Kitchen & Sushi Bar is an upscale-casual dining concept built around a simple premise: one restaurant that does both American comfort classics and a full Japanese sushi program at the same level of quality. The flagship and most established location is in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, with the brand rooted in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro.

The format works for groups that don't always agree on food -- steak eaters and sushi fans share the same table. Signature items like the Godzilla Roll and CRAVE Burger sit alongside craft cocktails, an extensive sake list, Japanese beers, and the fan-favorite Triple Chocolate Cake. Private dining rooms, a Kids Eat Free program, and an active Happy Hour program have made CRAVE a go-to for celebrations and business dining in the Twin Cities area.
