    My husband stops by here every time he goes to the range and this time I joined him. Right off the side of the road, it's in a visible location and not hard to find parking. We ordered a rack of ribs, Mac&cheese, and potato salad. Service was friendly and quick. The ribs were soooo tender and had a nice bark on them. They had a nice flavor and we enjoyed them. The Mac & potato salad were pretty good as well. We weren't fans of the bbq sauce, but overall it was delicious. I will definitely stop by again.

    I've been coming here for a while and the food has always been good. it's a bit of a ride from me so I wrote to them first to ask them if they were open because sometimes they're sketchy about consistently being there. I checked their Facebook and it didn't say that they weren't open today so I sent them a message but they did not answer me, but I saw on their website that they are open until 6:00 today. so I drove 40 minutes and they were not in their location but there was some bootleg truck here instead. I've never seen this truck before and it did not take big text on it and if it's owned by them they had some makeshift handwritten menu taped up that is nothing like the normal big tex menu. don't believe the picture that's posted on their Facebook or website, and that I posted here, this is apparently no longer their menu! very disappointing!

    Brisket Sandwich , layered with their Smoked Mac and Cheese ,  Coleslaw and BBQ Sauce.

    I REDOWNLOADED THIS APP JUST TO REVIEW ON HOW AMAZING THEY ARE. My boyfriend LOVES going here and the customer service is a HUGE factor. It was a friendly neighborhood kind of vibe. We both got the brisket sandwich and got creative by adding their Smoked Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and BBQ sauce on top along with sides of smoked Mac and cheese , potato salad, and coleslaw. The food is authentically cooked and made with love for sure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    I drove 40 miles to come taste this BBQ . It was well worth the drive. I ordered Ribs and 2 pulled pork sandwiches for my son and I . Ribs were fall off bottom tasty as can be . Best ribs Ever had in my life and I have eaten at many bbq joints.As for pulled pork it was soft and high quality and very big sandwich. I can't wait to go back them later this week and they will be a weekly Go To spot for my lunch.oh yeah the BBQ sauce was amazing !!!! Looking for GREAT BBQ find this trailer on Blue Heron

    Ribs over cooked and mushy. Worst ribs I ever had anywhere. Bought extra to have the next day and didn't save them. Went in trash.

    Good food, quick, convenient location. Only issue is you have to eat it in your truck, no picnic tables.

    We held our 50th Anniversary dinner at the Dancing Crane on July 24, 2026. I have to say everything…read morewas perfect. The patio was beautiful even on a hot summer evening. There was plenty of space for our 30 guests to mix and mingle during cocktail hour. The servers did so much more than jut serve the food and drinks. They made sure that everyone was well taken care of and graciously met even the smallest requests. They helped us set up decorations, packed to-go boxes, served the food and drinks, and even helped us take down and pack up our decorations. Most importantly, the food was delicious. We chose selections from the menu including the salmon, the ribs, the prime rib roast, and the chicken pasta Bellini. everything was outstanding. We have received many comments from family and friends about how much everyone enjoyed the evening, the food, the drinks, and the ambience. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend The Dancing Crane. We have also eaten brunch, lunch, and dinner there and have enjoyed every meal.

    This place is awful. I've tried take-out there several times and multiple times I've ended up with…read moresub-standard food that doesn't match what I order. Once they gave me some banana pudding which had clearly been stored, frozen and expired. I felt sick from taking a few bites and had to throw it away. Tonight I ordered cowboy burger, advertised as "premium blend, pulled bbq brisket, cheddar cheese, horseradish slaw" I took it home and found a plain patty and a bun. Having had enough, I took it back to complain. The place was full of people dining in so lots of people saw me complaining. The bartender tried to make it right, she was at least polite and friendly, but an apparently drunk bar patron had a problem with me complaining and tried to pick a fight with me. Tempers were flaring so I decided to leave to avoid a confrontation. Later I felt bad for the bartender who was caught in the middle so tried calling to have a more amicable conversation. Unfortunately, a rude and aggressive manager answered the phone, would not transfer me to the bartender, and was immediately hostile with no provocation. He accused me of "throwing food" (which I did not, I had set the box on the bar said something like "what the heck is this?") The manager insultingly offered a cold burger to "make it right". I told him I could not accept cold food as "making it right" and told him a freshly cooked meal would make it right. The manager then tried to pick a fight with me over the phone and started yelling. He tried to blame me for leaving the place while they were preparing a corrected burger and waiting 30 minutes to call back. He clearly was not interested in making anything "right" but instead wanted to extract some sort of revenge for complaining in front of other customers. I still feel bad for the bartender --- she did try to make it right. But this place has repeatedly screwed up the food and if you dare complain you get hostile treatment in returned. The manager is absolutely deplorable, and they have at least one dangerously rude bar patron. I am finished with this place.

    It has been over 30 years since I've been here. Sadly, my visit was not long enough to be able to…read moresit down here for dinner or lunch, but we did take out from thirsty turtle express. I went into the restaurant and it is still warm and friendly And old Floridian. High top tables are near the door and booths all around, make for comfortable seating and the Floridian artifacts hanging all over the walls are the perfect touch. The best. You don't find a lot of these places left anymore and this place is iconic. For me, one of the best places for smoked fish dip and it was all that I remembered. Tasty smoky and perfect for a sunny Floridian afternoon. Something I had not tried before or remembered was their wings which have a homemade honey garlic sauce and were extraordinarily tasty. As I say, I cannot speak to anything, but those two items that we had carried out, but I will return.

I finally decided to go there for lunch with my brother and see what it was about. I read the reviews prior to going and they weren't really spectacular so I wasn't sure what to expect. We were both seated pretty quickly and greeted by Brian our server. He had a very big smile and a very pleasant personality very friendly and helpful. And that goes a long way to making my dining experience a pleasant one. Our drinks were ordered and brought super fast. Right after we were ready to and order and he immediately took our orders for appetizers and lunch just as quickly as the drink order. My brother started off with a bowl of delicious chili and I had some baked clams oreganatta. For lunch, my brother had a delicious, huge coconut shrimp salad. For me it was the crispy clam strips with two side orders, one of rice and beans and the other fettuccine Alfredo. Everything was exceptionally tasty, hot fresh and plentiful. Brian was always helping us with refills on our soda and also chatting with us about life in South Florida and generally being a wonderful person. I can absolutely recommend a thirsty turtle lunch and or dinner.
