About Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill

Thirsty Lion Gastropub offers a lively atmosphere and a pleasant dining experience. The Fish and Chips are praised as tasty, with the battered fish being flaky, crispy, and fresh, tasting very clean. The Creme Brulee has a crispy topping but a liquid center. The service can vary; some servers are friendly, knowledgeable, and energetic, making visits enjoyable, especially when they have great timing and a friendly attitude. However, there are times when the service may seem less attentive or lack personality, which can be disappointing. The restaurant is known for its good food, including juicy and flavorful burgers with great portion sizes, and a new black cherry dish. The scene is a little upscale but welcoming for all. Located in the Desert Ridge mall area, parking can be busy due to its location near the mall. Overall, Thirsty Lion Gastropub is a popular spot for good food and a comfortable, accessible environment. It is especially favored for its high-quality battered fish, homemade ranch, and lively atmosphere. Recent visitors also enjoyed the food, with some noting the large bar area with plenty of TVs and the variety of options on the menu, including appetizers like bacon wrapped bbq shrimp and dishes such as spicy chicken sandwich and gochujang bbq pork with kimchi fried rice. The food is often flavorful and well-seasoned, though experiences with certain dishes, like the steak, may vary slightly. Service remains quick and friendly, and the overall environment makes it a place worth returning to.
