Hilton Head Island's destination for beef & seafood lovers, Crane's Tavern & Steakhouse serves only the finest USDA Prime Grade Beef & fresh local seafood. An old English bar & heart of pine floors create the setting with warm, inviting service & an award-winning wine list.
The restaurant represents 4 generations & over 100 years of restaurateurs in the Crane family dating back to 1908, when an Irish immigrant, Frank Crane founded Crane's Tavern in Philadelphia. After prohibition Frank's son, Francis & his brothers opened the famed establishment at 333 Queen Lane, where his son, Hank worked until 1969. That year Hank ventured out on his own & opened a Crane's Tavern in Ambler, PA. & then purchased the Surf City Hotel on Long Beach Island, NJ creating yet another establishment with the Crane namesake. In 1999 he & his daughter, Beth Anne opened Crane's Tavern & Steakhouse on Hilton Head Island, SC where it has become a local favorite

    Food was good, although not great. The non bottled water has an aftertaste and has for some time. Good food though.

    Wonderful experience, as usual. We always love our evenings at Crane’s, especially with Dianne as our server. The bread was fresh and warm and the mahi special and sweet red pepper soup du jour were excellent tonight. Looking forward to the next visit!

    What a fantastic restaurant. Service was outstanding. Shane, our waiter was the most quintessential “southern character” you have ever seen. He was welcoming, quick with a joke and quicker with the drinks. The owner came by and wanted to make sure we were ok with a party of 10 coming in seated next to us. Had the oyster special as an appetizer, toped with artichoke and mashed patatos….out of this world. I had the New York strip….. being a “Chicago steak place snob” I am always underwhelmed when having a stack outside of my home town. Not this time….killed it. Wife had a salad with a chicken breast so she was happy. Finished the bite off with two glasses of a Merlot,”The Velvet Devil.” When we return to Hilton Head, we will definitely make a stop back at the Crane Tavern!!!!!

    I love Cranes. If you love prime rib as much as I do, I highly recommend. Scott, our server was so great. Made me feel like we were old friends. The whole staff is so nice. Delightful espresso martini too.

    So loud we couldn’t hear our server and I’m pretty sure my meat had expired. To be top rated by trip advisor was a joke. Will never return.
