The Thirsty Turtle - Cranford

Great place to grab quality fried food with a delicious pint of beer! Deserts are great but I would stay away from pizza. Friendly service and great outdoor seating is also available. Kids menu avail.

At first I would like to mention that I love that they have gluten-free options. I didn't order it, but I heard the bartender mention that they also have a gluten-free cookie Sunday. We ordered the spinach dip, the taste was good, but it could definitely have been warmer. For my duck I ordered a side of broccoli, potatoes and French onion soup without the crumbs (gluten free and it was delicious! My friend ordered the Pork Tenderloin, it came with broccoli and potatoes and he really enjoyed it (although it was not quite as warm as it should have been told with all that, the food taste was amazing, you could say that it was used fresh herbs in their dishes, and even thought the food was not as hot as it should be that I recommend the place. It could have been so easy that you're just busy. Update... We came back for the second time and the food was hot and delicious :

Amazing experience. Place is a little expensive, but worth the price. The food was excellent and the staff was super fast and friendly. Would come back. Very recommended.

Starting to love this place. The blackboard shows the ever changing drafts. Oooh, so many good choices for a beer lover like me. Can you believe they had so many I hadn't tried? They had brands I was familiar with, Grimm, Troegs, Kane, Maine, so i was intrigued. Enter Richard, who offered tastes, very generously. He's a great employee with a smiling, fun attitude who wants everyone to have a great experience. Thank you for an enjoyable few beers on a Saturday afternoon. Good hot pretzels too. I don't pay much attention to food here because this is a monument to the high quality beer Era we are in right now. Good job Thirsty Turtle.
