    Fabulous establishment. Our waitress Diane was well versed in the history of the Crane Family restaurant and stock yard history. Food and service exceptional. This place is a hidden gem in Hilton Head. Had a beautiful 25 yr anniversary dinner.

    We had yet another 5-star meal at Crane’s Tavern!!!!! Crane’s is one of our absolute favorite restaurants of all time!!!!! I always order the prime rib with scalloped potatoes and creamed spinach; my husband usually orders their seafood special, which last night was a delicious mahi dish. For our appetizers, I ordered the roasted beet stuffed with mild goat cheese and topped with a pecan crumble and a balsamic reduction—it was wonderful; my husband ordered a garden salad with a homemade ranch dressing—as always his salad was supremely fresh and tasty. For dessert, we shared a brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and turtle sauce—it was absolutely decadent!!!!! As always, our server provided proficient and courteous service—we wanted for nothing during our meal. We highly recommend Crane’s Tavern—we have never been disappointed in over 5 years of dining here.

    We have been going to Hilton Head for 30 years and have dined at Cranes many times. It is always the best meal of the week! We always make a reservation, however it was not very busy. Food was exceptional, service as outstanding. Our only complaint is that we were seated next to the kitchen! We can't wait to dine here again next year.

    It’s a lovely restaurant. 3 of 4 entrees were cooked perfectly and to everyone’s liking. One steak was overdone and when I asked the server if he was sure it was Medium, he replied it was, altho that is not the description he originally gave of Medium. I also had written to and called the restaurant in advance saying we would be celebrating two birthdays of men who had just turned 62 and have been friends since 3rd grade. It was disappointing the restaurant did not acknowledge in any way.

    Crane’s Tavern delivers a classic steakhouse experience with top-tier service and unforgettable food. Known for their expertly prepared steaks, they absolutely lived up to the hype—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Julia, our server, was exceptional—attentive, warm, and made our evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quality meal on Hilton Head Island.

    Try the filet, seriously. I have never had a steak that tender in my life. I did get the au poivre on the side and I was glad I did. It overwhelmed the steak so use small quantities. The scallop potatoes were also wonderful although they were a little unevenly salted. Charlie our server was amazing!
