The City Cristo (turkey, provolone, honey mustard and apple slices, grilled on apple butter bread and sprinkled with powdered sugar) was OUTSTANDING bursting with a variety of very pleasing flavors. The Reuben Panini sandwich was just OK, but I regretted ordering it after eating half of my wife’s City Cristo.
Crane’s famous chili was very good and we really enjoyed the cherry pie.
The staff was very friendly, helpful, and quickly served our meal, so they definitely earned the tip we included at checkout. The restaurant is also cozy comfortable to dine in.

Crane’s in the City is a nice outpost of the main Fennville restaurant. The chili still tastes the same and is of a recipe that’s sweeter and more tomato-based than most. It’s unique, and quite good. I had that along with a piece of apple crisp à la mode. The apple crisp is always excellent with the right combination of sweetness, salt, and spices. The quality of the food is great, but the price is a tad high. The service I received was prompt and thorough. Overall, this is a pleasant place for a snack or quick meal downtown.

I swear they used to put more meat in their sandwiches… taste is delicious but it seems like this restaurant is another victim of shrinkflation… paid $12 for this Reuben (only 1/2 the sandwich is pictured). For reference, look at the Reuben picture they have displayed on their menu to see what it should have looked like. :/

Grab a slice or take pies home. Either way you win.
Great variety of traditional pies – but they also have crisps / crumbles. They even have Gluten Free options. Overall a fun local institution.

More of a quick lunch or grab and go place, but they do have nice seating inside and outside. Welcoming staff and interior.

Very disappointing experience…I came here for the first time around 4 months ago and had a great experience. I came again today and ordered an HSP and was extremely disappointed.
For $12 it looks like I got 2 slices of ham, 1 slice of cheese, and a dab of pesto on floppy, unappetizing bread. I cannot stress how disappointing this portion size was and am considering never coming back.

I love this place! Great for sandwiches or a salad. They are pretty quick, but still need to wait like 5 minutes for your tasty sandwich! The restaurant is a walk up to order and wait for your food at your table type restaurant. It is located in historic downtown Holland and the ambiance is a nice homey/country vibe.
Come for the sandwiches, salads, and incredible slices of pie (or two!)

This was my first and last time going there. My siblings and I have been going out for pie to celebrate our Mom’s birthday ever since she passed away quite a few years ago.
You’d think that the pie would be really good along with the food and coffee. It was horrible. Coffee was cold chicken salad wasn’t the best and the bread was stale. Our pie was cold and dried up. Chile tasted like spaghetti sauce. Prices were outrageous and you ordered at the counter and also had to clean up after yourself very disappointed definitely not going there again.

Very nice staff, delicious sandwiches and goodies, and a pleasant cafe feel.
Do try the apple-juice slushy (don’t remember the name), as it is SO good.
Further, the apple cider is fresh, pure and full-flavored, AND has no additives. That means you can take it home, and actually allow it to age and ferment and get a lot of biodiversity going on for a healthful drink. They can’t, by law, recommend you do that, but I do it, knowing it produces awesome results. Other cider is loaded with antibiotics (intended to kill microbes), which makes it impossible to culture it. So, this is my new favorite source for apple cider.
See the bubbles, naturally occurring from fermentation, if you leave it out for a few days. Put a hole in the lid, so alcohol won’t build up, and refrigerate after desired sparkle is achieved.
………………..
Now I have made multiple visits with my wife. This is working for me!
If you want handmade pies and other wonderful treats, come see their creations. They are on my list of pre-qualified stops, in case I need a meal or treat that looks delicious, tastes delightful and feeds my need for real-ingredients.

We needed to find lunch on the go. Crane’s in the City was close by and we decided to try them out. We were definitely impressed. You can tell that they care. They care about the food they serve and they care about their customers.
We ordered the turkey reuben, hot dogs for our kids, and cider donuts. It was all packaged to go so nicely, tasted fresh and was a great value price wise. They may even be the best cider donuts I’ve ever had and only 75 cents!
It’s always nice to stumble upon restaurants with fresh great food, that are family friendly and still hold value in their customers.
