Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Crane's Tavern Steakhouse & Seafood is a Hilton Head staple, renowned for its "outstanding food" and "exceptional service." Diners rave about perfectly cooked steaks and seafood, including the "best prime rib" and "fantastic" crab cakes. The atmosphere is classic, though sometimes noisy. Don't miss the scalloped potatoes and bread pudding.

    Nice evening at Cranes. Food was a little too salty but, service was great. Nice change of pace in an old time steak house.

    One of our favs when visiting Hilton Head, small, quaint, but very pleasant. Service is great and food choices are super. Had the Sashimi Tuna entree, very tasty. Highly recommended

    Our entire experience was outstanding - from service to appetizers to desserts. What we ordered - split shrimp cocktail. Cocktail sauce had a little zest to it (always appreciated!). French onion soup - phenomenal (would get this any time of the year and twice on Sundays if I could eat that much cheese!) and a Cesar Salad (excellent job of not over-dressing - just the right amount). I got the prime rib - very generous cut of meat (with broccoli and mashed potatoes) and my husband got the chicken with cheese and proscuitto - also excellent. We split the brownie sundae - a bit heavy on the caramel sauce but that is just a preference thing. Our server was great and very attentive. Will definitely be back when we visit HHI. This was a hidden gem.

    One of the best if not the best restaurant on the island. Steaks and Prime Rib dinners are the best meals that money can buy. Oh, by the way, cocktails are not bad either. My wife likes their scallops. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

    We always hit this hidden gem every time we go to HHI. Their drinks are heavily poured, the salad is always crisp and delicious. The creamed spinach is by far the best you'll ever eat! Steaks are delicious and tender. And the Peanut Butter Cup is heaven on earth!

    Excellent service and very, very good food. We think it’s the best place on the Island to get a steak, especially for the money.

    Old school menu but in a good way - lots of options (not just steak), and delicious. Personal service was friendly and efficient.
