The Hotel has been a staple of Cranford for many years now. I’d give it a 4.25 if Google allowed it. For starters, it has the best outdoor dining seating in town; right near the clock in the heart of downtown Cranford, lots of foot traffic and great people-watching, on a very nice brick sidewalk patio, partially covered by an awning. Everyone on the staff was courteous and helpful. The service is always solid, but perhaps lacking a bit of polish. We’ve never had any issues though. The food is in the good to very good range. The nachos are a slam dunk, the burgers are big and juicy, and my wife loves the reuben. The menu is a bit scatter—brained, favoring a duck breast entree and removing their fan favorite Buffalo wings for example, but everything I’ve ordered here I’ve enjoyed. The Cranford Hotel is firmly in my family’s restaurant rotation.

The Cranford Hotel is one of my favorite places, and I highly recommend it! Upstairs is a wonderful restaurant, with a view of bustling downtown Cranford. Downstairs is the charming pub area, with a bar and table seating, complete with a working fireplace. The food is great, and the atmosphere is even greater. And the staff is fantastic! If you’re meeting friends for food and drinks, it is the perfect spot! Also great for family gatherings!

Had a work lunch here and it was excellent. Sat outside and had great service. The Burger was absolutely amazing, cooked and presented perfectly. Would for sure come back when in the area!

First time at the Cranford Hotel Restaurant & Pub. It was highly recommended by someone… apparently there are two different bars, but we went on a Wednesday night, so only the upstairs bar is open during the week nights, wasn’t too packed, so was easy to find a seat at the bar. The blood Orange margarita I ordered was on point, the bartender was very nice.

Nachos excellent as well as the pizza and service was first rate. Beautiful 140 year old building. Nice atmosphere, food was fresh and delicious at reasonable prices.

First time eating here and loved everything. Started with the nachos and they were great, a harder chip that holds up and doesn’t get soggy. The chili on it was delicious too. I got the crispy eggplant sandwich which was tastey but also light. If you’re hungrier you might want more but I enjoyed it. The sweet potato fries were great. Also got the pulled pork sandwich which was absolutely delicious. Heavy option but thats pulled pork! Will definitely go back and try more here!

The pizza was honestly better than most of the pizzaria in the area. The duck poutine had a outrageous amount of cheese. The burger was so massive my wife could not finish it. The hanger steak special was also generously portioned, I managed to finish it and was disgusted with my self. The watermelon lemonade drink special was good, but could have had more vodka. I would absolutely come back again

This place is always a great spot for atmosphere and drinks. Usually, food too but this time I didn’t like my food. I ordered the Reuben and it was to greasy for me. It was like a grilled cheese with too much butter or oil, not sure. My friend for a burger and said it was really good.

Sold place for American fare. Ambiance is good. Big bar if that’s what you prefer or you can sit outside or in the parlor with booths.

We had excellent service, especially after we accidentally left something behind and returned quickly to find that they had set it aside, waiting for us. The food was delicious and it was a great atmosphere. We will be back!
