| - Crane Alley has a nice selection of reasonably priced beers. However, I have just had the worst (ever) Cobb salad at Crane Alley. Generally, a decent Cobb salad has several - 4 or 5 nice toppings (~1/4 cup of ham, ~1/4 cup of aged cheddar, ~1/4 cup of blue cheese, ~1/4 of crumbled bacon, etc.) with a few other minor toppings. This salad had one hard boiled egg (quartered), ~3 cherry tomatoes (in halves), a teaspoon of bacon bits, a tablespoon of blue cheese and a few slices of avacado (and that was it for toppings!). Theoretically, it had raspberry vinagrette dressing, at least that is what the menu stated (although I could not taste any). They did pile on the lettuce. For $6, it would have been an acceptable side salad, but for $11 it was a terrible Cobb salad. My wife had a Reuben, that was the perfect size for an 8 year old child. While the beer options are nice, there are far better places to eat in both Champaign and Urbana.
