In town for a conference and decided to grab an early dinner here with the hubs! It's a very big restaurant with plenty of indoor, outdoor, and uper level outdoor open space seating! During the cooler months, it's probably lots of fun with a group of friends! There are TV screens all around and music videos, etc. Service was friendly but a little slow and forgetful. I had a cocktail that was tasty! We ordered their crispy cauliflower but it was not crunchy at all. While it was fantastic flavor, it needed the crunch and neede... read more

Good food , service is terrible. We waiting a long time after being sat for our server to even greet us. We had to remind the host that we were there and still waiting. It was during the day on a Sunday, it wasn't too busy there were a lot of other servers who passed our table but avoided eye contact.. Made from scratch kitchen, good quality. I will try again since the food was good

For sure need to step up your bar game. Sat at the bar waiting for our table. No drink order taken at the bar for at least 20 minutes. After finally getting our drinks, our table was ready. Again we ordered drinks at our table and didn't show up for an hour. One drink was still missing so we asked the waitress and was told bar service taking over an hour. This place is losing a ton of money on drinks alone. All of the appetizers we ordered were good. Wanted fried pickles and were told they were out. Then we wanted flatbre... read more

We had a reservation and after waiting almost 30 minutes and multiple people getting seated in front of us, Jada made sure we got the next table. As packed as it was, she made sure we were seated and made sure we did not get overlooked again. She is a huge asset to this restaurant and I cannot thank her enough. Jada, please keep up the phenomenal customer service, most of us appreciate it! 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience and for recognizing Jada’s dedication during your visit. It’s wonderful to hear how her attention made a positive difference, especially on such a busy day. Your appreciation for her efforts truly means a lot. We hope to see you again soon at Thirsty Lion!

8 minutes before anyone came to post us a water! It's 100+degrees outside, coming to the table for water/ drink request should be immediate. It's not too busy, if it was the hostess could've brought us water. The Hibiscus tea is really good, little sweet while refreshing. The Baja fish tacos; a little bland & the salsa was very bland, but they were a light option for lunch. Ahi poke stack; rice was stale & not enough wasabi, the tuna was not as fresh as i would like. Smoked Turkey club: delicious, great size, the fries w... read more
