Nice local place with OK food. Servers, bartenders, and wait staff are friendly and it’s definitely cozy inside. Some dishes are better than others- New Orleans Shrimp is OK, but not exactly authentic. Burgers are decent, but appetizers vary in quality. Some, like potato skins aren’t exactly mouthwatering. Caters mostly to locals and looks like it hasn’t changed that much inside in a long time.

Super great service from Dave and Jose. Very friendly and attentive guys, and Dave complimented me on my choice of sammich. And he was correct, it was great! Nice homey environment, and even though I wasn't drinking I noticed a nice selection of beers available. I will definitely be back! ?

We went to Thirsty’s Restaurant and Tavern in Branchburg last night. Just what we were looking for, a local kind of Tavern with GREAT straight forward delicious food with happy portions and a menu to please all. It was busy, very well organized and the service was spot on.We sat at the bar and Linda the bar keep was so accommodating and attentive. She was so hospitable and managed a 25 seat bar and all dining room drinks and togo orders with a smile and grace!Bravo! Don’t expect blender drinks and 27 kinds of Martinis here, that is not the thing in a Tavern! Our cocktails were in shaker glasses and just right! Our apps and entrees were spot on and WAY above the expectations for a tavern. Just became our favorite casual dining spot!Thirsty's Restaurant and Tavern

Perfect example of "Don't judge the book by its cover"!!! I especially like to give my money to small businesses, so while staying in Branchburg, New Jersey, we looked for a small, cozy restaurant. There's not much around to choose from, I found Thirty's, me not being a drinker thought right away, ugh, not sure if this is a good place to go, but I looked at the reviews and they were pretty impressive so we decided to give it a shot...Well, this is a very cool place, actually. Good music and not too loud, just enough to be pleasant. There's a good amount of booths, an area with just tables and the bar area that looked like just like a bunch of friends just spending time together, eating and talking. The service was very pleasant. Our server was David, and he was very polite, with good suggestions and great service. The food was AMAZING!!! We chose as appetizer, the Japanese shrinp, the sauce is so delicious, and shrimp cooked just right. We got a basket of bread, and we ended up dipping our bread in the sauce. For entrées we got the Grilled Samon and the Seared Tuna. I was so impressed. My tuna was cooked perfectly, and so were the veggies. The dishes were beautifully put together. I very high-end restaurant could serve these dishes just like that. For dessert, we got the Hazelnut truffle, which was very good as well. Last but not least, i have to say that I got a lemonade, which a lot of times is terrible no matter where you go. Usually extremely sweet and tasting like cheap powder drink, well this was also a big surprise to me, it ltasted like homemade lemonade., just perfect. The prices were great as well. We had the best time and felt so good about this choice. We will for sure come back. The best of luck for the owner of this great small business.Kid-friendliness: Enough room and good atmosphere for families to dine in.

Never judge a book by its cover. Didn't want to go to a bar for dinner, but there wasn't a huge choice for mom and pop places in the area. There were a lot of good reviews, so we gabe it a shot. The Japanese shrimp had an amazing sauce, which we also dipped out bread in. My wife got seared tuna steak since there were a ton of reviews. She said it was the best she ever had. I got the grilled salmon and poured the remaining Japanese shrimp sauce on it. PERFECT!! You would never expect food to taste like this at a bar. They even put detail into the plating. The atmosphere isn't loud, friendly staff and patrons. Our server, David, was polite, fast, and a cool guy. Will return when we are in the area again.
Thirsty’s is a down to earth friendly bar and restaurant that makes you feel welcome. The staff was unpretentiously attentive making us feel like a “regulars“ from the start. The food was excellent bar food made well with fresh ingredients. We enjoyed the NY strip which we split—it was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. As wedge salad “officionatos” the wedge here is excellent! The bar is well stocked and the bar tender who took care of us was A1! Thank you Thirsty’s staff for a wonderfully relaxing dining experience.
