Great service, food, and atmosphere. We shared the wings and guacamole and they were really really good. I had the scallops which I highly recommend. Others got the chimichurri steak and it looks amazing.
I got a Cuban sandwich and it was soooo yum. Monica was our server and she was great! Very attentive and sweet. My husband got a horseradish burger and actually commented on the heat, which usually doesn't affect him at all, so KUDOS! Also if you're not saying "tirsty turtle" with an Irish accent, you don't even know how to live. I'm sure we will be back.

A great time every time I’m there. Whether it’s just for lunch or for dinner and a drink it is such an amazing time. The staff is absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough about them. The owner is so friendly and makes the effort to make sure the environment is top notch every time.
If you plan on visiting Cranford dont just stick to the food on the town square head a little south and find this place. The food is unforgettable and the drinks are made to perfection. It’s a warm and welcoming place with great staff. The drinks are nicely mixed and you would probably only need 2. The prices are not that bad at all. I couldnt recommend this place more.
Recommended dishes: Cheeseburger and Fries, Irish Nachos

Food was good. The drink specials could have been in a larger glass, rather than a rocks glass.. I'd go back if in the area.

We had a fantastic dining experience here, made especially great by our server, Janine. Food was great, beer was delicious, atmosphere was perfect for four young kids. And Janine was awesome—she perfectly memorized our orders for a party of 9, accommodated some special requests, and checked in with us at exactly the right times.

Wow! The TURTLE PRETZEL BURGER(American cheese, applewood smoked bacon, field greens, Russian dressing, soft pretzel bun, fries 16) was cooked a PERFECT medium rare with a pink/red center. It is hard to find a perfectly cooked burger. The two strips of bacon were thick and cooked perfectly as well. Thank you and kudos to the cook!I could not finish the burger. This burger was so large that I got 3 meals out of it (sweet potato fries too).My son tried the IRISH NACHOS (potato crisps, bacon, Cheddar & Monterey Jack, scallions, red peppers, Guinness sour cream 11 +Add Chicken +4).He said the chips were crunchy and it was so tasty with BBQ sauce on the side. Can’t wait to try the entrees.

Every time my wife and our two little girls come to the Thirsty Turtle we always enjoy ourselves. My favorite is the knuckle sandwich. It’s delicious and I highly recommend it.

NO Service. Went in for a quick beer and bartender never left the service station, tending to the restaurant. Wasn’t close to being packed. Sunday afternoon around noon. No football on. Bar patrons come first if you work at the bar. Close to 10 minutes is ridiculous for a beer. Waiters walking up after I got there and got their drinks. Manager inept.
