Great food! The chicken nachos were fantastic and unique! The outdoor/alley patio is wonderful, the beer selection is extensive, and the servers are friendly/very helpful. Thus is a must if you are in Champaign-Urbana!

Had the Shrimp Po Boy Special with fries and a ice tea. It was delicious! EXCELLENT customer service! My waitress Leslie (One girl was shadowing the other one for training) was very friendly and inviting! She checked on me several times. Will definitely come back!

I had one of the best Cuban sandwiches ever. Loved the old time jazz playing.
I know it’s not their fault, but that Sysco truck in the photo arrived at the same time as our food… and stayed for the entire meal with the loud engine running. It was delivering food to the restaurant. It was obnoxious.

Great place to play pool and have a drink. I love the pineapple upsidedown. But the falafel is too soft and it’s not crunchy outside at all, which kind of disappointing. And the Mediterranean plate should definitely come with a garlic sauce.

This is the first restaurant I have visited during the pandemic that is conducting contact tracing! Well done, Crane Alley! We had delicious drinks, tasty food (I really enjoyed the pretzel bites) in the outdoor seating area to the side of the restaurant, and the service was friendly and inviting. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Great place to go during the summer where you can sit at the Alley and enjoy the good weather, at night they light up Christmas lights which makes the Alley look beautiful. The food is very good and has several options.
My recommendation are:
Portabella Burger
With caramelized onions, sliced portabella mushrooms & gorgonzola on a toasted bun contains beef
Falafel Sandwich
Home-made falafel, cucumber salad & a yogurt-tahini sauce served on toasted pita, served w/ Tabouleh

We went shortly after they opened and they were already busy, and I can understand why – the food is delicious, the staff is great, and the atmosphere is cozy

The food here was amazing! Our waiter Justin was super attentive and friendly. He gave our table some excellent recommendations and everyone cleaned their plate. I would definitely recommend eating here. There are pool tables inside, but we did the outdoor seating. Outdoor seating was gorgeous and had a great aesthetic feel. There was live music being played nearby, which definitely added to the experience.

This place is always amazing. The food is very unique and it is amazing. The kid in me lives the chili Mac (and the kid wins most of the time), but they also have amazing burgers, fancier entrees, and great appetizers. I don’t drink much anymore, but they also have a solid beer list and a three or four pool tables.
