Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill

Kim was an excellent waitress. Only complaint was my caprese salad had overripe tomatoes and a very peppery arugula salad. All other appetizers were great.

Server was attentive, friendly and professional; allowing us time to talk but still keeping her eyes on us in case we needed something.

Extensive menu! Food was excellent! Worth a bit of background noise and less than "on the spot" service!

Food was great but our server had no personality and didnt seem to know the menu. Gave bad info on questions we had about food and just overall didnt seem to want to be there. Would go there again as I doubt thats the norm for the place, but this visit was disappointing.

The food was good but the cherry BBQ sauce was spicier than my wife expected. I would have liked more tartar sauce for the fish and chips. Service was average and the dining room is louder than most.

This rating reflects our experience for dinner. Our waitress was as unfriendly as it comes. No smile. Very robotic and just going through the motions. She should not be working in an hospitality environment. My wife had the shrimp pad thai. After a few bites, she found a piece of plastic in the food. It was returned and she ordered a different dish. My reuben sandwich was a bit greasy, so were the french fries. Appetizers are relatively small and follow the disturbing trend of being overpriced and even more expensive than entrees. The manager came to apologize. My wife's dish was compted at the end. The entire experience was very disappointing. We had lunch there in the past and all was very good, including the service. The menu has a lot of choices. The restaurant is pretty loud and the decor is open and modern. We'll try lunch again but skip dinner.

Nice restaurant with outdoor patio. Great food

Food is banging as always, love that new black cherry dish but the highlight is Tatum! She is so awesome I totally love her! She is funny, super on point, friendly, and has great timing.

Our server was wonderful. Great energy and knowledgeable about the menu. The food, we went for specifically. I was craving crispy fish BAD. And we check this place and next door. Next door was way over expensive so we choice Thirsty Lion. The pricing is still a little on the higher median side (coming from a poorer perspective.) Their Battered Fish is soooooooo good. Flaky, crispy, fresh and tastes so clean. Their fries are also really great. They have that really good homemade ranch. Their burgers are also really nice. Juicy and flavorful. Great portion sizes. The scene itself is really nice. A little upscale but welcomes all I believe. Located in the desert ridge mall area. Parking is a little crazy as its right there with the mall. Otherwise very accessible. Comfortable. Great place overall.

Stopped by to catch up with an old friend. I had the Tuna Poke Bowl which was awesome. Service was great and almost stayed for the Trivia night. Looking forward to going back.

Really neat place food was outstanding. My wife had a chicken picada that was large and wonderful. I started with a California roll as an appetizer and fish and chips for my meal.

We went Sunday for brunch. It wasn't busy. It took 15 minutes to get our cocktails. The food came right after. The food was good. When we were done eating, we had to wait 15 minutes for our check. We paid cash. Then we had to wait an additional 15 minutes for our change! The wait was not worth the value of the food.

I would share a photo, but we already cleaned our plates! I love this place and was excited to bring my husband. He already has his next meal planned out for next time. Thank you!!

The food was excellent—hot, well-prepared, and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food this time. Our waitress was inattentive, and we experienced a long wait for both our drinks and our food. When we politely asked about the status of our cocktails after a considerable delay, her response felt dismissive and unfriendly. That said, we've dined here many times before and have consistently had great experiences with the staff, so we're chalking this up to an off night. We'll definitely be back, but we were disappointed in the service during this visit.

Went for Sunday brunch. The menu is quite extensive and I'm sure anyone who visits wil be able to find something that attracts them. I had the soked turky club sandwich. Portion was quite generous. It was quite tasty. But, between the bacon (delicious) and the smoked turkey, I found it a bit too salty. Think it would have benefitted from regular rather than smoked turkey. My friend had the breakfast burrito which she round too soggy to be worth packing up the 2nd half of the burrito. My biggest concern was how freezing cold it was. The table next to us had three sets of guests ask to be moved because of the cold air blowing on them. We, too found that true, but (perhaps foolishly) opted to finish our meal at the original table Server was delightful
