Crave Eatery Take Out — Restaurant in Elkton

I really don't take the time out to review a place unless its good or really bad. This place is really good. I judge places like this based on their ability to make a cheese steak (or wings but that's N/A for here). Every restaurant around here makes a cheese steak, but few are "good."

I got the smokehouse and an order of onion rings for lunch and man, it was way too much. The steak was sloppy, but PACKED, and it tasted awesome, so many different flavors it was almost like sensory overload for a cheese steak. The onion rings were some of the best I've had too. They have a chipotle sauce they come with, which seemed house-made and it was damn good too. Could've been Hidden Valley, idk, didn't care by that point the sandwich and onion rings were on point.

What kind of prompted me to leave a review is how they sent my onion rings. When I ordered them I expected them to be soggy and over cooked like ordering from everywhere else almost always is (I'm not picky, I expect when I order things to be slightly jacked up), but these weren't. They poked holes in the lid so the onion rings wouldn't steam themselves into a soggy mess which I appreciate so much. To me, just shows the place cares and I think you should give them a shot, great food and great service.

Don't really care about the price, you get what you pay for here. I'm going to make this a go-to lunch place for myself. This place is kind of a gem up here. I didn't think to take any pictures, the food...

I stopped in here today based on the current ratings, menu creativity, and overall deliciousness of the pics posted.

I'm definitely not disappointed. I had no clue how large the tacos actually are. Huge. Huge. Easily the length of paper currency and absolutely stuffed with fresh ingredients. The mac-n-cheese 'side', off the charts and also huge. A solid meal for two. Or for one over two days, although I'm not sure the taco shell integrity would last much longer than an hour with the juices from the ingredients.

Extremely reasonable price given the portion size and very friendly people behind the counter.

Oh, the desserts looked ridiculous as well. Maybe next time.

5/11/25: Added two pics from a subsequent visit the same week as the original review. Obviously, dessert happened. My only comment about the burger, which was awesome. People usually complain about all buns, not much burger. I actually could've used more bun to hold it together. Ended up using a knife and fork, a burger consumption violation. I'm an amateur.

8/7/25: Another crime scene photo added. This time of a cheesesteak over mac-n-cheese. I would've posted last night but was in an unexpected coma. Also tried the broccoli salad. Don't tell my aunt, but I've found one better than hers. If I didn't know better, I'd swear they use the bacon...

My husband visits this place more often than I do, but it is definitely a family favorite. The BEST smash burgers around, hands down. Even my incredibly picky 3 year old will eat here (loves the burgers!). My 9 year old asks to go here weekly. The empanadas (with two different GREAT sauces) are my absolute favorite item on the menu. The mac and cheese is creamy, comfort food goodness. And today I realized I had time to get over to their food truck location for a Diablo Cheesesteak Mac n Cheese bowl. $16 was totally worth it bc this container is FULL of enough mac and meat and sauce and toppings for my lunch today and probably my husband's whole dinner tonight. SO. GOOD. On top of the great food in big portions for very reasonable prices, the folks who run this business, both storefront and food truck, are always so lovely to chat to and clearly care a lot about their craft- hospitality. Give this local shop your hard earned dollars- they're putting in the work to earn your business, for...
