What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Kroft is lauded for its creative comfort food, particularly its acclaimed smashburgers and diverse poutine offerings. Diners praise the friendly service and generous portions. While many rave about the unique flavor fusions, some find the menu items unique and potentially overwhelming if unfamiliar.
"Loved the blueberry lemonade, wagyu fries, birria egg rolls ànd hot Cheetos Mac n cheese (the last two, half-price during happy hour). Will have to return."
Gabriela Cadena
"With the advent of so many smash burger place you don't ever need to go to a mediocre one, especially in LA.
With that being said, the double wagyu smash burger here was not bad, a 7/10. The fries and cheese curds were also about a 7/10. If you're at the packing district and are craving a burger, this would be your choice."
Colin Huang
"We stopped by The Kroft at the Anaheim Packing House and it did not disappoint. I had the Cubano and it was one of the best I've had. Crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor in every bite. My husband ordered the French Dip and was equally impressed. The sandwiches were next level, and the mac and cheese on the side was the perfect comfort food bonus. We paired everything with a cold beer and enjoyed every second of our meal. This place knows how to do comfort food right."

Top 12 Anaheim Kid-Friendly Restaurants - Tripping.com Rentals
The Kroft describes itself as serving “comfort food reinvented,” and you’re likely to agree, especially if you’re a fan of poutine, a Canadian specialty that’s hard to find in California. Try the country fried chicken or short rib poutine to feel as if you’ve ended up in foodie fusion heaven. This quick-serve restaurant puts an unexpected spin on fast food, and it serves craft beers to the adults in your group.
Best Sandwiches in Anaheim Packing District
If you’re craving something a little meatier—or a lot meatier— The Kroft serves an outstanding porchetta sandwich. It’s made with pork belly, loin, and cracklings, salsa verde, seasoned arugula, and caramelized onions on freshly baked ciabatta. It was our top-ranked sandwich at The Kroft, but its Short Rib Melt and Prime Rib Dip were both also in the running.

This list would not make sense without a restaurant dedicating itself to make the best poutine out there. The Kroft brings out the pig in all of us by doing just that. This establishment also makes their meals with ingredients that follow the phrase FLOSS — fresh, local, organic, sustainable, and seasonal.
Restaurant industry rebounds as diners seek niche concepts
The communal dining trend moves to Tustin next month with the anticipated opening of Union Market at The District. Like Anaheim, the culinary walkabout will showcase indie concepts that sell specialty chocolates, cold-pressed juices geared for men and fusion tacos.
