Thirsty Lion is an American gastro pub scratch kitchen. It usually has a lively atmosphere, the food is consistent, and they have games on in the bar area. They've always been accommodating to us with large reservations or multiple families. We've even had a few Mom's Night Out events for my children's school because they are so great with reserving patio space and allowing separate checks. Very easy to work with. For starters we love their Spicy Fried Cauliflower, Giant Pretzel, and their Spicy Tuna Roll. I almos... read more

Ambiance is nice. Great outside deck. Service is solid. Portions are substantial. I just wish the food was better. Hand cut fries are soggy. Spicy chicken sandwich isn't really spicy. Pork tenderloin is smothered in a cloyingly sweet sauce. Price to quality just isn't in balance for this restaurant. 

Business response:

Hi Brian, thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your visit to Thirsty Lion. We’ll keep working hard to make your next experience a 5-star one!

We were absolutely surprised by this place. We kind of figured it was typical bar food - but it was great. A huge beer & good, "limited" wine list. From our appetizer to burgers - it was great. And the jalepeno jam is awesome! Friendly servers and lots of tvs to watch the games. We will definitely be back. 

Business response:

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your kind words along with the 5 stars, Beth. It means the world to us here at Thirsty Lion to know that we could provide a memorable experience for you. We look forward to serving you again!

Server was pleasant and both of our meals were very good. O my downfall was I cut myself on my arm on the chair and showed the waiter and he was like "oh how'd you do that?" He said it kindly, but no offer for a bandaid (I was bleeding). 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the kind words about our server and meals. We’re sorry to hear about the discomfort you experienced with the chair, and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is important and helps us ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

Food is pretty solid and service is okay. Depends on when you show up I guess. It is definately better than Yard House.

I like burgers. That's what I like to order the first time I go to a restaurant. This was the WORST burger I have ever had. I paid about $26 for a soggy burger that was lukewarm and kind of greasy. The fries were cold and soggy too. I know not to return food to the kitchen if it is subpar, as there's a chance you will get something unsavory in the replacement food. I ate the burger with the ketchup and mustard that I requested (it doesn't come with condiments). Bloody terrible, old fries. I do not recommend eating food at t... read more

Clean and comfortable. The food was good but service a little slow. Only saw the waitress once. Worst part is when you pay, she gives you a handheld device and stares at you while you're deciding what to tip. Also, there is a survey you have to take after signing and the waitress is standing over you while you rate her on this device. Very awkward. 

Business response:

Superior guest service is of utmost importance to us and we make every effort to provide our guests with a memorable dining experience. While it appears, we missed the mark during your recent visit, we value your patronage and assure you we have addressed your concerns with the team. It is through feedback like yours we continue to improve our service and the standards of food we deliver to our guests. Please email me at tcarlos@ceghospitality.com so that I can get in touch with you further.
