“We are in town from Washington and have nothing but great things to say about Thirsty Lion. We went in for happy hour and bought 5 appetizers ( fried spicy cauliflower was our fav) . Multiple drinks. The waitress Karlie was a huge highlight of our visit, very friendly and knowledgeable. Never an empty drink or dirty plate on the table. You could tell she enjoys her job. We will be back whenever we are in town.“

“I was very impressed with the unique offerings at this quaint, out of the way eatery; the menu appears to have something for just about everyone. We stopped by for lunch this week which was the first visit for both of us. I ordered one of the Vegan options and my lunch companion ordered the new French Dip, both dishes were exceptional and the service could not have been better. Of all the new restaurant finds I have come across over the past few years, this place tops my list. Looking forward to my next visit, there are so many unique menu options I am eager to try!“

“We had a great experience! We lucked out and beat the Mother's Day rush, so we were sat immediately. Our server Levi was funny and was very attentive, despite the restaurant filling up minutes after we ordered our first drink. The hangover burger was delicious. You have to try the Malört if you never have.“

“I am blown away by the welcoming atmosphere I was invited in with tonight! I am in the area for business and popped in at total random by myself, and was so genuinely focused on and taken care of my entire time there. I shared great laughs and kindness from the host, waitress and, what I assume was, also the shift manager! Drinks recommended for me to try were amazing and my food was drool worthy! Thank you so much for the pleasant experience and I will totally be back next business trip out here!! Much love.“

“Service was great, cool atmosphere, and the food was spot on. Split the wings and steak & frites with my lady for sat date night, a couple of old fashions, and everything was awesome with quality ingredients. Some of the best wings I have ever had, perfectly crispy, and then steak and fries were delicious with perfectly cooked crispy fried potatoes with fluffy center. The staff was great, and had enough people working on a Saturday I was taken care of right away and didn’t have to wait on anything. Valet included when you dine. I’ll be back for sure.“
