Fall is starting to settle in at The Crafty Jackalope, and September is giving you plenty of reasons to grab a table, order something new, and make an evening of it.
The current Fall Food Features bring six seasonal dishes to the menu, from creamy pasta and crispy chicken to a bacon-topped smash burger. Add a September calendar filled with live music, trivia, music bingo, karaoke, DJs, and promotional events, and you’ll have plenty of ways to plan a visit that fits your mood.
Whether you are coming by for dinner, meeting friends for a night out, or looking for something to do around Bridgeville and the South Hills, here is what is happening at The Crafty Jackalope this September.
Dig Into The Crafty Jackalope’s Fall Food Features
A new season is a good excuse to switch up your usual order, and the current fall features offer several ways to do just that. The seasonal lineup includes Orange Sesame Chicken, a Monte Cristo, Tuscan Chicken, Crafty Stir Fry, Pickle-Chix Bites, and the Bacon Jam Smash Burger.
The mix has a little bit of everything, whether you are in the mood for something crispy, creamy, saucy, shareable, or piled onto a burger.
Orange Sesame Chicken
If you are looking for something sweet, savory, and a little spicy, the Orange Sesame Chicken is worth a look. Crispy chicken breast chunks are tossed in The Crafty Jackalope’s sweet and spicy orange sesame sauce, then served over sautéed rice made with house-made scallion oil.
It is a nice change of pace if you usually go straight for a burger or sandwich, while still delivering a filling meal that works well for dinner before an evening event.
Monte Cristo
The Monte Cristo brings together slow-cooked ham, roasted turkey breast, and Swiss cheese on fresh Mancini’s marble rye bread. The sandwich is dipped in glaze, pressed until browned, and served with fries.
With savory meat, melted cheese, marble rye, and a touch of sweetness from the glaze, it is the kind of sandwich that feels right at home on a fall menu. If you are stopping in hungry and want something familiar with a little extra character, this one gives you plenty to dig into.
Tuscan Chicken
For a pasta option, the Tuscan Chicken combines grilled chicken breast with cavatappi noodles in a house-made creamy sauce. Sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, minced garlic, and onion round out the dish, which comes with a side salad.
This is an easy choice for anyone craving something warm and comforting as the season changes. The combination of pasta, grilled chicken, vegetables, and creamy sauce makes it a full dinner without overcomplicating things.
Crafty Stir Fry
The Crafty Stir Fry gives you a little more choice. Chicken breast is served over an Asian-style sautéed rice and vegetable medley, with either sweet garlic or scorpion sauce.
That sauce choice lets you decide where you want the flavor to go. Keep it on the sweeter side with sweet garlic, or choose scorpion sauce if you want more heat.
Pickle-Chix Bites
Coming in with friends? The Pickle-Chix Bites are an easy option to put in the middle of the table.
Hand-breaded chicken breast chunks and thick dill pickle chips are fried and served with The Crafty Jackalope’s hot-and-sweet dipping sauce. They work well as a snack, a shareable starter, or something to order while you settle in for music, trivia, or a night on the patio.
Bacon Jam Smash Burger
Burger fans have a seasonal option too. The Bacon Jam Smash Burger starts with grilled Angus beef and adds double cheddar cheese, two strips of thick-cut bacon, Crafty bacon jam, and fries on the side.
If a burger is usually your go-to at The Crafty Jackalope, this fall feature lets you try something new without straying too far from what you already like.
And if none of the seasonal dishes fit what you are craving, the regular food menu still includes wings, appetizers, handhelds, salads, burgers, wraps, mac and cheese, flatbread pizzas, desserts, and more. Take a look at the full food menu before your visit, or wait until you get there and see what sounds good.
Catch Live Music Throughout September
Good food is only part of what is happening this month. The September calendar includes live music across several weekends, making it easy to plan dinner around a band or acoustic performance.
Timeless Band is scheduled for Saturday, September 12 at 9 p.m., followed by Brush the Crust on Sunday, September 13 at 4 p.m.
The following weekend brings Pick Up Line on Saturday, September 19 at 9 p.m. and Hot Weather Holiday on Sunday, September 20 at 4 p.m.
September closes out with Vinyl Rewind on Saturday, September 26 at 9 p.m. and Toni Lynn on Sunday, September 27 at 4 p.m.
That gives you a mix of later Saturday performances and Sunday afternoon music, so you can choose the kind of outing that works best for you. Come in for dinner and stay for the band, or make a Sunday afternoon out of food, drinks, and live acoustic music.
As always with live events, it is a good idea to check the current event calendar before heading out in case anything changes.
Add a September Promo to Your Plans
Several promotional events are still on the September schedule.
The Yuengling Flight Promo is set for Friday, September 11 at 7 p.m. An NCAA Yuengling Watch Party follows on Sunday, September 13 at 7 p.m.
Later in the month, a Coors Light Promo is scheduled for Friday, September 18 at 7:30 p.m., and Yuengs & Wings is listed for Tuesday, September 29 at 5 p.m.
If one of those events catches your attention, pair it with dinner and turn a regular stop into a full evening out.
Find Something Happening Throughout the Week
You do not have to wait for a special Saturday night event to stop by. The Crafty Jackalope keeps the week moving with recurring activities that give you an easy reason to get out of the house.
Wednesday nights feature Video Music Bingo from 7 to 10 p.m. If you like testing your music knowledge but want something a little more relaxed than traditional trivia, it is an easy midweek option.
On Thursdays, Tacos, Tequila, Trivia takes over, with live trivia beginning at 8 p.m. It is a natural pick for groups who want dinner, a few rounds of questions, and something to break up the workweek.
Friday nights bring karaoke inside and a DJ on the patio beginning at 10 p.m. Whether you are ready to grab the microphone or would rather enjoy the music from your seat, plenty is happening once the weekend gets started.
Most Saturdays include live music inside at 9 p.m. and a DJ outside at 10 p.m. Then on most Sundays, live acoustic music runs from 4 to 6 p.m. as part of Party on the Patio.
With something happening across several nights of the week, you can plan around the kind of evening you actually want instead of trying to fit everything into one weekend.
Pair Dinner With Whatever Kind of Night You Are In the Mood For
One of the nice things about September at The Crafty Jackalope is that you can keep your plans as simple or as social as you want.
Maybe you want to stop in for the Tuscan Chicken and call it an early night. Maybe the Bacon Jam Smash Burger sounds better with a Saturday band playing later in the evening. You could meet friends for Thursday trivia, share some Pickle-Chix Bites during music bingo, or make Sunday afternoon plans around acoustic music and a meal.
You do not need a big occasion. Sometimes dinner, a drink, and something happening in the room is enough reason to get together.
And because the fall dishes are available alongside the regular menu, you can try something seasonal while everyone else at the table sticks with their favorites.
