I always get exceptional service. Tonite we showed up with out reservation on a busy Saturday night and Angelic hooked us up with one of our favorite tables. Then Cameron and his team took it from there. The service was great and the food was perfect. Do not listen to the negative reviews . this place is great!

Went there with some friends on a Saturday night. The place was packed but it was only moments before we were seated. I started with the beer cheddar soup which had a slight kick to it, which I really enjoyed! For my main course, i had the bbq burger, which I ordered medium rare. What arrived was a medium burger smothered in entirely to much bbq sauce. For a gastropub, I'd rate the burger somewhere between a D+ and a C-. Service was good despite the full restaurant.

They add a 3% service fee to all orders. Food was well made and hit the spot. Had the fish and chips, the fish was great and my wife's dish was a seasonal special a rich and tasty Corned Beef Mac & Cheese. My whiskey drink was fine but not as strong as I had hoped. We took home the deep dish chocolate porter brownie and topped with the caramel sauce, whipped cream, and some strawberries. Great food spot in this area.

Service was great and food came out very fast. Would be 4 stars but the prices of menu items are simply too high. I paid $17.99 for overcooked fish, the batter was delicious though. The fries were piping hot but somehow still floppy/soggy. I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw but I tried it and seems like it was actually pretty good as far as coleslaw goes.

Try the ribeye, French dip, cheese curds, sliders, BEER CHEESE SOUP, or any of the awesome burgers. Fries are crispy and delicious. Asparagus is perfectly prepared and tasty. Drinks are always perfectly crafted and yummy. Fun atmosphere. Wait staff is AWESOME! The team is efficient even when they are super busy. Management team is always present helping the wait staff and checking in on tables. I go back again and again.

Food was fabukous! 9/10Happy hour drinks? 10/10Atmosphere/Music- 8/10Great way to end my girlfriend's Bachelorette Party. Very kind wait staff.

We popped into the Thirsty Lion for dinner while in the area. Food recommendations were so good and drinks were even better.

Normally I have a good experience but the kitchen undercooked my burger when I asked for well done. It was medium, which is way off. The only reason I even ordered it well is because I’m pregnant. Despite explaining this to the server, she didn’t apologize and said it would take a long time to redo the order because I asked for it well, annoyed like I was being a Karen. I decided I didn’t want to wait that long because I was starving and canceled the order. The server stopped talking to me and looking at me after that and only addressed my friend about dessert and the bill. Never apologized or asked if I wanted something else.I don’t usually send things back. But if this is your first pregnancy after trying for a year and-a-half and you’re told to avoid undercooked food, what would you do? The kitchen messed up and the server was unsympathetic, if not outright rude. I don’t plan to go back.

Always friendly staff! Happened to be super bowl night..and rather than watch the game they tended to our every need. Valentines weekend to boot. Ordered the ribeye with a house salad, mashed potatoes and asparagus. All cooked to perfection. The dessert was bourbon apple crumble. Had a small scoop of vanilla accented with a mint leaf. By far my favorite part!. The pecan cable was amazing!. Thank you to our waitress Tara for that great recommendation!. This is why Thirsty Lion is our go to anniversary/ Valentines dinner date place for the past six years...and will be for many more to come!.

Pretty good tap and bar menu. The food was pretty decent too. Service was great! We had a pretty big party (20+ people) and the server was able to reach out to everyone a bunch of times.
