Thirsty Fox Pub & Grill

Took well over an hour to get our food. We had kids with us and they were getting very impatient. As soon as we took a bite of our food, my hubby and I felt unwell. Hubby's mouth started itching and swelling(he just eats meat and salt). And my stomach was upset for two days. I felt bloated and like I ate something that was not supposed to be in my body. Not sure what oils they use, and we forgot to ask if they use seed oils. Which we are wondering if that is why we felt like that.

To owner: Visited last month sometime on a Sunday or at the beginning of this month. May or early June.

In shock that we sat for 45 minutes and no one even acknowledged us. When we finally flagged someone down there wasn’t even an apology. We left & probably won’t be returning.

I was in a party of 6 that got fried pickle appetizer, beer battered chicken baskets, coconut shrimp baskets, and rice bowls. All amazing food and service. It was my birthday so I got a free dessert with the creme brulee cake. So good. Excellent drink selection. Visit the Thirsty Fox!

We sat on the patio. Food was very good. I recommend the grilled cheese sandwich. The fries were excellent. And of course the beer selection is awesome. Highly recommend.

Food is gr8!

Menu choices are exceptional. Had the walleye basket. Large portion. Very good.

We are from out of town and were meeting family also from out of town in Albert Lea and decided on The Thirsty Fox because of all of the great reviews. It did not disappoint. Nikki was an excellent server, the food was delicious, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. We all decided that we should meet here every time we get together.

Indoors or outdoors dinning! Good food!

Patio is very nice. Several fans for air flow and large TV. Burger was good, fries were soooo good! I would recommend.

Nice place for dinner on June 4, 2025. We sat outside, which was very nice. Excellent cheeseburgers and fries. Very pleasant dining experience.

We live in the area, and this is our favorite place. The food is always good - burgers are flavorful, rice bowls are good, love the fried green beans, fries are the best in town. The beer selection is great as there is always a good representation of different kinds as they rotate beers in and out. The remodeled outdoor patio is beautiful! And the servers always seem like they enjoy their job. Tanelle is a gem; we always feel lucky when she comes to our table. Great place! Go there!

Very clean place to eat.

We were looking for something more than an I90 exit restaurant, so we decided to travel a little further into Albert Lea. It was a great decision. Service was fast and friendly. They have some very good beer selections. Their burger menu is quite vast and extremely flavorful. Wholly recommend driving out of your way if your driving through on I90.

Met with friends for lunch and had the Asian Orange chicken rice bowl. Service was great, however the bowl described as having grilled vegetables and candied broccoli, did not match the menu picture. To my surprise, there were lots of mushrooms. I would not have ordered this entree if mushrooms were in the description.
