What can I say--this place is completely out of line with the prices they charge. I ordered a simple meal of three tacos for $19.95. Each taco had a scant amount of shrimp, chicken, and something else that wasn't impressive enough for me to even remember. There was so much cabbage that it felt like I was eating cabbage tacos. Honestly, Taco Tuesday at almost any taco shop gives you more meat on a $0.99 taco than this place does. We also ordered the four bacon-wrapped dates ($12.95 for four total), which was yet another overp... read more

Really disappointing experience. Went out to celebrate a special accomplishment of my son's. Waited quite awhile to be greeted by server Karli E. Once she did, she wasn't apologetic for the wait or particularly friendly at all. Saw her for initial drink and app order and kept menus to later order meals. Apps took normal amount of time and were delivered by manager; By this time, our waters and beers were empty, so we asked the manager if we could order another beer and get refills on water. Our server still hadn't com... read more

The good ol steady. They have a great staff and a warm, welcoming decor. Menu is solid and kept fresh with seasonal specials. Food is consistent and the drinks are tasty. Great to watch a game at or just a good casual night out. Wish they hadn't got rid of their pizzas 

Business response:

Thanks for coming in Frank, we look forward to having you back!

This restaurant is located in the Desert Ridge shopping area in the north of Phoenix. I met a friend here on a Saturday at noon. I expected the place to be crowded, so I reserved a spot using Open Table online the night before. We didn't need it though. My friend arrived early and got a table without the reservation or a wait. The booths here are really long. It will seat a large group easily. If your midsection is growing, you might find it a bit tight to get in and out. It's a good reminder to choose something healthier ... read more

The food was delicious and they had so many options. Everything we had was great! The service was quick and our server was extremely friendly. The restaurant was cozy and has tvs so we could still watch football, but it didn't feel like a sports bar. I will definitely go back! 

Business response:

Your support and kind words made our day! Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review — we look forward to seeing you again at Thirsty Lion.

Decided to go here after getting Justification non-service at Kona Grill. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Dave, one of the managers. He was super friendly and seated us immediately. We even had a friendly conversation. Dave immediately brought us water as well It was so nice to see the manager bring us our water. Some managers think they're too good for that in other restaurants. Dave took the time to give us some great recommendations on the menu. Crystal ended up being our server and our service was aweso... read more

We absolutely love this place and it continues to impress every time we visit. The drinks, food, and service are all excellent, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. You can truly tell this is a scratch kitchen, which makes a huge difference in both quality and flavor. There really is not a bad choice on the menu, and everything we have tried has been consistently delicious. We started with the pickle fries and the wrapped shrimp as appetizers, and both were fantastic. The pickle fries were crispy and flavorful, and the w... read more

Holy... SHIT service.. Again I'm not one to leave negative reviews but it has to happen. I made a reservation based off yelp reviews. Decided this place based off reviews. I made a later reservation at 9:15 and we arrived at 8:45pm we were sat and weren't touched for 12 min... and during that time saw the server go to another server and beg her to take our table. I get it you're tired but so am I. I'm visiting for a work conference and worked 12 hours on my feet at the JW Marriott. So I was expecting at least decent service... read more

The food was very good but our server, Tatum, was horrible. She seemed very distracted, took our order, never came back to the table for drink refills or to see if there was something we needed. The hostess brought us our food. 

Business response:

We take your comments with sincere concern and will address them with the team and your server. If you would like to get in touch with us further, please email me at tcarlos@ceghospitality.com.
