Dane's Crawfish and More — Restaurant in Kirbyville

We were on our way to try another new place out in Kirbyville, but on arrival it was closed due to some issues. We had passed by Dane's which I've been wanting to try and I pointed out to my wife how crowded it was at almost 1:00pm! So I told her after we had found the other place closed let's go back and try Dane's. I had heard from a friend of mine that the food was very good. So back we went!. We were promptly greeted and seated and were handed menus. The greeter told us our waitress would be right with us to get our drink orders. They had specials also posted on little signs at the tables. The inside was very roomy with plenty of tables and 4 or 5 big screen TV's with your favorite sports on! The waitress came and we elected to do the burger specials for the day. My wife had the regular homemade burger with cheese and bacon with a sourdough bun that came with FF's and a drink. I went for the Double meat burger with cheese, bacon, and jalapenos. But mine didn't come with the sourdough bun. But I had the Fries and a Coke. My wife also ordered their fried green tomatoes to try and they were very good as were our burgers! Our waitress was very helpful and very outgoing. They had two kinds of the fried green tomatoes, regular and extra crispy. She went with the regular based on what the waitress told her and she was right on point with those, but I imagine the extra crispy are really good too! Dane's is known for their boiled crawfish when they are in season. They also have seafood and other things on their menu. I have heard their fried catfish are very good here too!!! They have nice big roll up doors for when it's nice and cool outside. This wasn't that kind of weather as the temps here in East Texas have been running around 105 to almost 110°F for about the last month and we're all about over it, but it is what it is. There is a really nice ambience to the inside and I'm sure now that we've tried it, it won't be long before we come back to try...

Sometimes you make a random decision that turns out to life-altering. Me whipping the truck in the turn lane to grab some food at Dane’s while passing through Kirbyville was one of those times. I have never eaten there before.

I ordered up the food and went thru it like my Hemi thru a tank of gas.

Coleslaw, fried catfish, fried shrimp, French fries and hush puppies. (Clearly not the food on the cardiologist list of demands). Everything…even the tartar sauce was exactly what it was supposed to taste like. Soooo good! I could have ate a hush puppy the size of a cantaloupe if it tasted like those that came with my food. The staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the menu items.

Absolutely amazing stuff. I will most certainly find myself haphazardly “passing through” Kirbyville to come here...

Passing through town and chose to go eat here. The lighting outside is awful you can’t see anything posted on door, the food was terrible, we had to seat ourselves and get our own menu the waitress had to keep going to ask kitchen staff questions because she didn’t know. They tried charging for every condiment that should’ve been on the table without tell us there would be a charge. The manager was an absolute embarrassment when we addressed our concerns for being over charged and that the food was not edible, he stated there was nothing he could do! We will not ever go back there.. ask questions they won’t know or be honest about but ask anyway if you decide...
