Marvin was an amazing bartender! Super friendly, attentive, and made great drinks. He made the whole experience better and made us feel really welcomed. Definitely a reason we’ll be coming back!

Bailey is amazing. She took great care of me and even upsold me to get a better bourbon for my old fashioned. I was in a hurry and she made sure I was out the door in a timely fashion. 10/10 coming back!

The Thirsty Lion did not disappoint. From the Bacon Bloody Mary to the exquisite flavors of their dishes. Each item on the menu was bursting with flavor, kudos to the chef for coming up with so many amazing options. I went with the szchuan orange chicken dish, it was both beautifully plated and tasted delicious. I did try waygu beef and bacon jam burger ordered by my friends, equally very good.

We had a huge group (over 20 people) come in to “tailgate” prior to a football game. Food was great, and service even better. Our server Alex got all our food and drinks out quick, divided all the checks up - did a fantastic job.

My first experience at this restaurant was great. Alex J was gorgeous and an amazing server. Watching the game during prime time was great and the drinks kept coming. Thirsty lion wasn’t the only lion thirsty 🦁. I hope he enjoyed the big tip I gave him. Thank you again for the exceptional service.

I can't even call their food bar food I have been coming to thirsty Lions for years and now that I live in Vegas it is still my go-to every time I come to Dallas you wish they would put me later they have the most incredible BARTENDER her name is Nicci she made be beautiful and young but baby this girl can make a drink like it's a art . Not to mention everything you try on the menu is going to be awesome not to mention... You're going to get amazing customer service not to mention is going to have the dopest atmosphere . I really wish I can get this in Vegas but unfortunately I have to keep flying to Dallas YOU SHOULD GO!!!

Sat at the bar and had great food, great drinks, and AMAZING service. Pay Marvin a visit—he’s a fantastic bartender who makes sure you’re taken care of, even if you’re dining solo. Super helpful, attentive, and makes excellent drinks. Truly a great experience!

Bailey was our bartender. She was very kind and personable . She attended to our needs on a consistent basis. She gave great recommendations and was very busy with keeping the bar stocked and clean Great service! My friend and I were visiting Irving from the Boston area and we're pleased with our experience.🥰KarenMuzio

I ordered a cheeseburger and fries, plus wings, Flatbread cheese pizza and expresso martini. The half‑pound patty was juicy/well seasoned. It’s satisfying and definitely a great go-to classic. The fries were crisp and lightly seasoned. I ordered the cheese flatbread pizza for the kids, nice sharable portion. Kids gave it a 7 out of 10. If you like hot green the wings

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Kenny "Mr. Amazing" was a real superman! I'll be back!

Christin was very friendly and attentive. She ensured that our food was great and verified a dish ingredient for my daughter, nut allergy related. This made for an awesome birthday outing for my teen. All smiles from her! Thank you Christin!

Went for dinner tonight had reservations but don’t know if needed. Greeted immediately and sat promptly. Service was great. Had BBQ Pork and kimchi fried rice which was excellent. Wife had chicken Mac and cheese and said it was really good. Had a pretzel appetizer and it was huge and the dipping sauces were awesome. Tried a makers mark Manhattan and it was tasty. Overall great experience!

I really enjoy this location. The atmosphere was s great. Lindsay was amazing and had such a fun personality. The food is amazing, you have to try the cauliflower!

Our waiter was great! He made sure the kitchen knew about all my allergies. The fall harvest bowl was delicious!! Plus I had a blood orange margarita. Was very nice. Also they have a gluten free menu. But I have more food allergies and I had no issues. Thank You! Just a reminder to get your parking ticket validated.

New review: I came for another work happy hour. I got to try a hibiscus lemonade which was really good. We had some light food too. Server was super attentive and working extra hard to make everyone feel comfortable. Old review: I came for a work happy hour. We had a good friend come from out of town with his two sons. I have never been to a gastro pub (nor heard the term) but I enjoyed my time here. The wait staff was patient and helpful with all my questions. We got a variety of appetizers and had a good time catching up with one another after a long day of work. Will definitely be back for more.

Was in town for a conference and of all the choices in this area, I decided to give them a shot and they didn't disappoint! It was delicious enough, I went back multiple times during my stay! Between the multiple visits, I tried: •Smoked Turkey Club •BBQ White Cheddar Burger •Gastropub Burger Each one was delicious in it's own way. The club sandwich was grilled on the outside (similar to a grilled cheese) that gave it a nice crunch and had the maple bacon on it that I could have eaten a few more pieces of on the side. Both burgers were 'pick them up and don't put them down' type of burgers. They were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The BBQ burger will become a bit messy, so be sure to eat it over the plate! The side of fries that came with each had a nice crunch to them and were seasoned lightly with salt - I just wish there was just a few more on the plate because they were that good! I ordered two cocktails, a Moscow mule and a Lion Lemonade. The Lion Lemonade was underwhelming and the mule was exactly what you expected. Most nights the bar staff was on fire and a hive of activity with only one of the night being less than the others. I ordered the Lion Lemonade on the 'meh' night and maybe that had something to do with it - maybe not. All said, if I find myself in Irving Texas again, I will certainly be stopping back in for dinner!

Stopped by today and had a great experience. My server Samantha took care of everything without me having to ask utensils, napkins she stayed on top of it all. She made sure my food came out just right and checked in to see if everything was good. Honestly, it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had, even compared to higher-end restaurants. I just wanted to take a moment to recognize her for the great service.

We always want to try a new place for date night and Thirsty Lion did not disappoint! Teresa was amazing, gave great recommendations, took care of us and was attentive. The drinks were delicious! We got the old whiskey and as hard as it is to find a great one, my boyfriend loved this one! I had the blood orange cosmo and this was fruity and amazing! I've been disappointed in salmon in the past but the miso and orange glazed salmon exceeded my expectations. It was flaky on the inside and crisp on the outside. Boyfriend had the Korean bbq and kimchi fried rice and wow!!! We definitely would come back for Teresa and the food. The atmosphere was great!

Enjoyed our experience Thursday. Hersyla (Her-as-la) was our server and she was on it. Our water glasses stayed filled. Our food came quick. Everything we ordered was delicious! Great service! Happy hour prices and portions was just enough! Each dish was seasoned well and cooked to our liking. Spacious and clean! We enjoyed the vibe!

Ashton was great! Very attentive & recommended really good food!

First and foremost, can I talk about the excellent customer service from Marvin?! I am a person who returns to a restaurant based off of customer service and then food. Marvin went above and beyond to make sure my partner and I had the best birthday dinner. Drinks were always filled. Courses arrived on time. If I had any question about the menu, Marvin knew the answer. 10/10 will be back.

We came in on Friday because I’ve heard so many good things about their food and drinks. Our server Kassandra was very attentive and Super sweet. It was our first time so she made a few suggestions on both drinks and food. Me and my boyfriend decided to try their raspberry drop martini and their bourbon old fashion. The raspberry martini was very refreshing. My boyfriend loved their old fashion. We tried few of their appetizers;The burger sliders, queso and their carnita tacos, everything was very tasty. The ambiance and service was very welcoming, we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be coming back.

Came here for the first time earlier this week and I was impressed. Kenya, my waitress was amazing. She was very attentive to my needs and made conversation with me. Definitely enjoyed her service. She helped me picked my food as it was my first time and she did not let me down. Amazing!

My daughter and I ate here after her gymnastics competition and it was exactly what we needed. Our server Alex was absolutely amazing. He help us figure out how to order what my daughter wanted, because it wasn't exactly on the menu and saved is some money, by doing so. If you go I suggest asking for him as a server!

Excellent service from everyone seemingly. Alex was my waiter and 10/10. Very attentive but not over attentive. Super nice and down to earth. Great vibe all around. Bartenders seemed super attentive and nice as well. Had the Brussel sprouts and cheese curds, would recommend. Dined by myself and it was an excellent experience. Will be back!

First time here, while waiting for a concert- food, drinks, atmosphere and server Bailey was awesome! Will be back

Food was amazing, service was great! I am thoroughly impressed by the staff. If you come in be sure to ask for bailey, she took amazing care of me and my friends on our first visit.

My girlfriend and I were looking around for a place to get a quick bite before going to a concert and we saw gastropub (due to our love for Meddlesome Moth, RIP) and decided to give this place a try. We found two seats at the bar and started off with a 512 Pecan Porter for me and a Martini for my girlfriend. We both enjoyed our drink selection and moved right into the apps. We ordered the burger sliders and the brussle sprouts. The sliders were delicious. Brussel sprouts were still good, even though I’m a sucker for a very caramelized Brussel sprouts, so I will not knock these. They could have used a little more salt. Next is the entrees. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich after seeing hundreds of them lined up to be taken to different tables throughout the night. The sandwich was huge. My girlfriend ordered the fish & chips and the Caesar salad. She absolutely loved the salad and was a fan of the fish & chips. My sandwich was great, but I wish it had a bit more sauce. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and talked about how we would go back again and again.

My Barista Ms.Ashley was very welcoming. She recommended the BBQ fried rice with chicken instead of pork. It was tasty, the rice was perfect. And I had the Spicy fried cauliflower 😋 words can't describe. I can't wait to come back.

Blanca was extremely welcoming, friendly, and professional. She took time with us Helping us decide on our food order. She Consistently came back to our table, asking if everything was OK and if we needed anything. She is definitely a server with excellent customer service skills.

It was my second time going and it was absolutely spectacular both times. Our server Teresa was super attentive, kind, and considerate. She really made us feel welcome. The food was very delicious and good quality. I definitely will be coming back when I am back in town. 10 out of 10 recommend it!

Incredible Service from Kenny and Bailey at Thirsty Lion! I had such a great experience at the Thirsty Lion, and I absolutely have to give a huge shoutout to Kenny and Bailey behind the bar. These two are absolute pros — not only were they fast and efficient, but they were also incredibly friendly and attentive the entire time. Kenny brings great energy and makes every guest feel welcome the moment they sit down. He knows the menu inside and out and gave some awesome drink recommendations. Bailey was just as impressive — super personable and detail-oriented, and she somehow kept the vibe fun even during the rush. Together, they made it feel like more than just a night out — it felt like being taken care of by old friends who happen to be amazing at what they do. The drinks were top-notch, the service was seamless, and the atmosphere they helped create was unbeatable. If you’re heading to the Thirsty Lion, do yourself a favor and grab a seat at the bar with Kenny and Bailey. You won’t be disappointed!

Here’s a polished review you can post: I went to Thirsty Lion in Las Colinas for my Valentine’s date night, and it was such a great experience! The ambiance was really nice and perfect for a special evening. The food was delicious, the service was fast and attentive, and the drinks were honestly some of the best. It’s a perfect place to hang out, enjoy good food, and have a wonderful time. Highly recommend for date nights or any special occasion! 💕

Had a great time at Thirsty Lion Gastropub, first off the restaurant smells amazing like something great is cooking…… Kallie was our server and she was amazing, attentive with great menu suggestions… we had the cauliflower, queso, gastropub burger, and sliders we will be back…

Visited on a Thursday evening. Very nice gastropub. Tried the Bourbon Old Fashioned, very nice. Wife enjoyed the whiskey sour very much. We shared sliders and queso with chips. A very pleasurable experience overall.

The Thirsty Lion in Las Colinas delivers an unforgettable dining experience with a vibrant atmosphere, exceptional service, and a diverse menu that blends bold flavors from around the world. From perfectly cooked burgers to innovative cocktails and mouthwatering appetizers, every dish is crafted with care and quality ingredients. Whether you’re catching the game or out for a casual date night, the stylish interior and lively energy make it the perfect spot. Their rotating seasonal specials and wide selection of craft beers add even more reasons to come back again and again. A true gem in the heart of Las Colinas!

This place was super fun. The atmosphere was a sports bar vibe, but the food is unique and superbly done. The drinks are not just standard beers on tap (although they have those). They have fun cocktails and we received great service and were sat quickly on a Sunday evening with a party of 8. We did appetizers for dinner with drinks. They had sushi rolls. I had the spicy tuna and a friend had a California roll that actually had real crab. I also had fried pickles, these were spears instead of chips and the Brussels sprouts were delightful! I also had a spicy margarita and an espresso martini. The martini had real espresso beans in it.

10-6-2024 visit. Very nice bar & grill. Server was very courteous but didn't come around much. The food was excellent and the beer was cold. Nice atmosphere. Great place to watch a game. We started off with some scotch eggs. I had the chicken and Mac, the wife had a fancy burger. Finished up with a cookie dessert. Definitely try again

Came to Thirsty lion for dinner with my wife. The host greeted us immediately and was super sweet. Our server Riley was amazing very kind and able to accommodate all of our asks. Drinks came out quick and food was great. Will definitely return!

The menu had something for everyone. Everyone was very friendly and personable especially our waitress, Ashton Claybrook. Even though she was very busy but never made us feel rushed. Taking the time to explaining how everything was made from scratch even the syrups for the cocktails, the favorites from other customers. I had the Turkey Club and an espresso martini, both were delicious. Definitely worth the trip.

Great vibe. Nice service. Yummy food.

come here at least once a month, and tonight Teresa was our server. The restaurant was really busy being Valentine’s night, but she was still calm, friendly, and on top of everything. She was kind and attentive, kept our drinks full, and checked in just the right amount. Service stayed quick and smooth despite the crowd.

⭐ Fantastic Service from Helaina at Thirsty Lion! ⭐ I had such a wonderful experience today, and it was all thanks to my server, Helaina. Seriously, she was just fantastic! From the moment I sat down, Helaina was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. The service wasn't just fast; it felt thoughtful. She checked on me at the perfect times, made sure my drink was full, and just had this great, positive energy that made my whole meal feel special. If you're heading to Thirsty Lion, definitely try to sit in Helaina's section. Her hospitality is top-notch and truly made my visit memorable. She's the kind of person who makes you want to come back!

I was visiting Irving for a work event and after a long day, I decided to check out Thirsty Lion and it was a great decision. I was seated within minutes, and the service was amazing. My server was Alex and he was so kind and quick with my drinks and food. All in all, the food and service were amazing and I will definitely recommend to place to anyone visiting the Irving area!

Thirsty Lion provided an outstanding dining experience with both exceptional food and top-notch service. They went above and beyond to accommodate our large group, ensuring everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. Every dish was prepared to perfection, arriving hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire evening enjoyable and stress-free. It’s clear they prioritize quality and customer satisfaction, and we’ll definitely be returning!

Ashton was AMAZING. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and really took the time to walk us through the menu and answer all our questions. She made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Drinks did take a bit longer than expected from the bar, but Ashton stayed on top of everything and checked in with us throughout. Her service absolutely made the visit worth it.

Lydia is awesome and easily one of the best bartenders at Thirsty Lion. She’s super friendly, fast, and always makes great drinks. Even when it’s busy, she keeps things running smoothly and makes everyone feel welcome. Her drink recommendations never miss, and you can tell she really knows what she’s doing behind the bar. If you’re heading to Thirsty Lion, definitely grab a seat at the bar when Lydia’s working! Great service, great vibes, and a big reason to come back.

Teresa was our server and she was amazing! Very attentive. Our glasses stayed filled. Our food was great, too. We had salmon, a burger, flatbread, and chicken. I had the grilled salmon and it was delicious. So glad we found this place. We will be back.

My daughter and I were in town for a Judo tournament at the convention center and we decided to try the Thirsty Lion because it was conveniently located near by. Our waitress, Lindsey, was excellent. She checked all the boxes for top notch service. The food was also outstanding. For an appetizer we tried the fried chicken tenderloins and they were deliciously seasoned and perfectly juicy. I had the gastro burger, which was served with probably the best bacon I've ever had on a hamburger. It was delectable to the last bite. If you find yourself near here and you happen to be hungry, do yourself a favor and drop in for a meal. You won't regret it.

The atmosphere was great and Teresa was very helpful and a fun waitress. We were a bunch of jokers having a good time from New Jersey. She was awesome, treat her with care.

Alex was an outstanding waiter! He was quick, efficient, and incredibly friendly throughout our entire visit. He gave great recommendations and clearly knew the menu well. Even with our party of six, everything came out promptly and exactly as ordered. We were all very satisfied with his service and truly appreciated his attentiveness.

Our waiter, Teresa was super. She was friendly, efficient and helpful. The food came quickly and the quality was very good. It tasted fresh, well seasoned and visually appealing. The atmosphere was easy going and comfortable. We would definitely eat there again.

Our server, Alex, was very knowledgeable of the menu and had specific details on each cocktail when our large group asked specifics. He made menu recommendations and was the most polite and respectful gentleman. Our drinks stayed full the entire evening. The food was piping hot and delicious. All meals were delivered the same time which is very important to our group. Parking was easy and nice to walk to nearby bars afterwards. Alex honestly made the experience so much better.

Justin Stout

Fatima was a fantastic server, very attentive and made sure to check on my wife’s dietary restrictions. Food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back! Fried chicken Mac and cheese is SO good.

Daniel Gundert

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First time visiting Thirsty Lion and I have to say, they knocked it out of the park. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was spot-on, and the service was next level. Our server Alex was incredibly courteous, kind, and personable — he made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. It was awesome finding out he’s also from California, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Alex truly has a degree in MIH (Makin’ It Happen) — he knows how to make guests feel special and well taken care of. This guy is a rockstar and absolutely deserves a raise. We’ll definitely be back!

Sequoia was the very best bartender! It was our first time at the Thirsty Lion and she made it a great experience! Very friendly and great customer service.

We have been regulars at Thirsty Lion for over four years since moving to the area. We have always loved the food, especially the brunch menu, which never misses. But bartender Nicci is the reason we keep coming back. Her customer service is unmatched. She remembers our favorites, gives the best recommendations, and manages to be both hilarious and incredibly professional at the same time. If you sit at the bar, do yourself a favor and ask for Nicci. She will take great care of you every single visit.

Ashton was our server. She was super awesome. Nice and respectful. She knew the menu items and suggested great food choices.

Andrew Nelson

Got the Gasteopub Burger. Very delicious. Serving size isn't huge, but was perfect for what I wanted. Burger was very juicy and cooked perfectly. Server was attentive and I didn't have to wait long to order or get the check. Music was low volume and crowd noise acceptable. Beer selection I would call about middle ground, but everything sounded worth trying. Prices are a touch higher than expected, but the quality felt that much higher than expected as well. Very enjoyable and recommended.

Piotr Dzianach

A fantastic place to have a drink eat and to watch live sport. Very good service and cool atmosphere. Many thanks to Nicci! very friendly welcome and for making me the best Bloody Mary ever! 😁

Veronique The Actress

This was our first visit here and Teresa made it super enjoyable! She asked if we had any allergies, and I do!! She provided us with a gluten free menu and made sure to ask the cook about the answers to questions she didn’t know. We will definitely be making another trip! The food was really fresh and delicious!!

Seattle Stout

Baja cod tacos were fire! Fatima was so helpful with my gluten and dairy intolerances. Food was so fresh and perfect. I would eat here every day if I could, from Ohio though! If you’re in town, go here over anywhere and ask for Fatima!

Bailey is a top-tier bartender and did an amazing job making my experience. She helped me make decisions on the menu and gave me what I needed before I had to ask. Attentive, friendly, and on point! Even made sure my poke stack had quinoa instead of rice.

shalesDC

2 hour free parking right out front! We received exceptionally attentive service from Ashton. She knew the menu well and had great recommendations. I loved the edamame and my strawberry mezcal margarita was perfect. Very clean restaurant and good vibes. A huge bar and a nice outdoor patio! I highly recommend stopping in here for a quick bite and a well-made cocktail before your show at Toyota Music Factory. They even offer catering! Make sure you ask for Ashton!!!

Christina Reaves

This is our first time here and we traveled from. Baton Rouge for my mother n laws graduation. We came for brunch. The food was so good. From the chicken to the bacon to the Irish whiskey French toast and more. Karla was soooooo sweet and attentive. The staff was such a joy and did I mention the food was spectacular. We will definitely be back.

Amanda Richards

Great brunch with lots of TVs! I loved the French toast, it’s got a crisp to it that was unique and delicious. We had a group of 6 and our server Teresa was very attentive and patient with us all arriving at different times. Really enjoyable meal.

Sunshine

Nice spot over in the Toyota Music Factory. They have a dog friendly patio. We had a nice time. They have a great selection of apps and beers and a nice happy hour. We tried the giant pretzel and chips and queso. The flatbread pizzas are pretty good as well. I had the cod tacos. Great tortillas and salsa. The burgers are huge and the fries are good. We got a plain burger patty for the pooches. Four paws up!! 🐾 🐾 they loved it!!

I met a friend for dinner before she moved out of state. TJ was an intuitive server. He did a great job and made sure we were taken care of, but also respected our time visiting. Very kind!

Happened to be in the area for work. And checked this place out on a whim. I'm glad I did. The atmosphere was really pleasant with plenty of seating and TVs to watch whatever music/shows they had on. They had a solid variety in their menu options and I really appreciated the consistent and courteous service I received. My server was Blanca, she was very polite and helpful. Checking up on me throughout my time there and always offering a helping hand in case I needed anything. But I was already very happy with the food and drink. I had their Fried Chicken mac and granny smith apple crumble. Both tasted as great as they looked. And the Hibiscus Lemond was really refreshing. Definitely considering this place if I'm ever back in the area.

Great service from Ashton. It was our first time at Thirsty Lion and she took the time to point out local favorites and must tries. Our food and drinks were great. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. I would recommend 👌

Josh Peloquin

Earlier today my coach and I went in to Thirsty Lion to grab a quick little bite and kill some time. Our waitress was Teresa and she was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to check in on us often and was patient with us while we were still figuring out what we wanted on the menu. She was attentive to every detail with refills, asking how the food was, and even clearing off the table to make our time there more comfortable. She is very polite, joyful, and greatly appreciated by the two of us who dined in today. Anybody who is lucky enough to have her care, I highly recommend her!

Niki Claybrook

We came in for brunch on Sunday for the first time and really enjoyed the experience. The spicy chicken & waffles were really good and the service was exceptional. Ashton was very obviously busy, if you were paying attention, however you wouldn't know it by her service. She was on top of getting us everything we needed in a timely manner, she was courteous, and accurate in remembering what everyone got. I will be back!

Lucas Allen

Teresa was our server today, and she made our dining experience truly exceptional! The food was delicious, and her outstanding service made all the difference. I highly recommend seeking out her section for a fantastic meal!

My husband and I had just had a very frustrating experience kicking off the celebration of our 10 year Anniversary… looking for something to do to salvage the night we decided to go to our favorite restaurant, Thirsty Lion. From the moment we came in & met our server, Alex, whom waited on us a few years prior, it was a top notch experience!!! The food, drinks & service were exactly what we needed to cast off the drudgery of the day. We shared the news of our day with our server, Alex & from his sunny disposition, helpfulness & impeccable service, it just turned the night around immediately!! Thank you so much to Thirsty Lion in Irving & our excellent server Alex for making our anniversary one of the best ones yet!!!

We set a reservation but did not really need it as the place wasn’t crowded. Cali got us together with our happy hr drinks and food we went Saturday right around 3:30. I didn’t take picks of the apps but the edamame was great and so were the fried cauliflower. We all enjoyed our food as well I had the bacon wrapped shrimp and sub my rice out for asparagus . Super chill atmosphere.

Arrived early with a friend, but by 7 pm, the place was packed. A gastropub with a nice ambiance and courteous service. We sat at the bar and were able to watch a game. I had a cheese burger and it was tasty and large, but the fries were rather shortcut and a bit crunchier than they should've been. They have a couple of ciders and a nice beer selection

Went there as part of office meetup. Food was good. You must try their cauliflower wings. Service was good as well. Make sure you get the parking validated before you leave. Limited parking in the front, but plenty of parking in the back.

The food was great but service could have been better. The order was mixed up but was promptly fixed. After that server was no where to be seen, until we kept on asking all servers for the check.

It is good place to go with crowd. Lot of space but over crowded. Lot of drinks and options. Not great food though.

The drinks and appetizers are the main attraction. Decent variety of draft beers, the cocktails are unique so you are sure to find something to try. I liked the fresh fruit in the sangria but I was expecting a bit more wine for that classic red color. The tuna tower was delicious, and a good portion size of tuna. The corned beef on the Ruben was tender and has a nice aioli on it. The chicken sandwich was underwhelming, and I didn’t care for the coleslaw. French fries are crispy and taste fresh. I would go back for drinks and apps. Parking is difficult to find being close to the Toyota music factory.

Teressa was great hosting us. Food was slightly salty but was overall exp was enjoyable with a good vibe. Thanks To Teresaa.

Thirsty Lion is a pretty typical nicer end grill/bar dining experience. The food is good but nothing outstanding. Solid burgers and sandwiches for the price. Sides are decent. Brunch is probably the best meal of the day there. The drinks are good but tend to be a bit on the weaker side for the size and price. It’s a safe choice to eat but nothing has ever blown us out of the water. Worth checking out as a dining options if you’re visiting Grandscapes.

I have had the opportunity to sample most of the dishes on their lunch menu. The service was commendable, and the majority of the food items were quite enjoyable, though a few could benefit from some minor improvements. Specifically, the calamari, chicken wings, fish tacos, and fish and chips were all delicious. However, the orange chicken and Kung Pao chicken could be improved, as the chicken in those dishes was a bit tough. This establishment could be a suitable option for a quick office lunch.

I’ve been here a few times over the last year when I’m in town for work. The service was really good throughout. The chips & queso were okay. The chicken tenders were god. Server asked me if I wanted…

Food was ok. The Buffalo chicken wing appetizer was Pretty good. Signature gastro burger Was average at best. While the wait staff was happy and cheery at first, I Don't recommend sitting at the bar if you're not gonna order Alcohol, because they are reluctant to serve you after a while Despite ordering food. I still left a gracious tip

Server failed to ever bring the tea that was order and never checked on our table after the food was delivered. The burger was ordered medium but was served well done. Was the dryest burger I've had to suffer through in years.

I'll keep it short and sweet. First time visiting. I only took a pic of the bacon wrapped date appetizer. Very odd tasting to my taste buds. I think it was the strong gorgonzola that ruined it for me because ive had all of these ingredients before and like em just never together in this way. I won't detail the other items we got. Maybe it was an off night for them in the kitchen and maybe the waitress was tired. Didn't seem to want to be there. I don't ever like having to come find my waitress and it was def not busy. Lots of empty tables this night. It just wasn't a pleasant visit. Food and service lacking! We spoke to the manager Matt and he was great. If we should ever return, it would be for that reason only.

Guilty Pleasurz

I had a nice time during my first visit to Thirsty Lion. I absolutely loved the vibe at the bar. The area was spacious and open. I hate small bar areas. I had the pleasure of being served by the lovely Nicci. She was the kind of bartender that you want to have . She was friendly, very knowledgeable, and she made BANGIN drinks. Since it was my first time, I wasn’t sure what to try first. Nicci suggested the Hibiscus 🌺 Vodka Breeze. This was a big hit with me. The drink is made of vodka, hibiscus purée, muddled basil, orange and lime. The flavors mesh perfectly. It was absolutely delicious. So, I had 2. 😉 On to the main event. I had the orange chicken. Now, this is where things got interesting. The dish was different than what I am used to. Still, I had an open mind. The entree was visually what I like to see but the taste didn’t blow me away. I liked the chicken. I didn’t really love the sauce. I know. Everything was going so well. Despite my feelings about the entree, I still enjoyed myself and I will definitely be back to try more drinks made by Nicci. The next time that you want to to try a new spot, please check out Thirsty Lion at the Toyota Music Factory.

I went during lunch time on Saturday around 1pm January 17th not only did it take about 10 minutes for the hostess to show up then finally when I was seated the service was slow.. I had to repeat myself several times with the waitress she was nice but not on top of it. The place wasn't even half full.. I got frequent to Thirsty Lion but usually the 1 in Euless way better service that location I do recommend

Service was great Marvin was wonderful. Lesley was adequate. I say this because when she ask about my food and I responded she did nothing more than say " oh I'll tell them". My drinks were perfectly mixed and presented. The appetizers were good the calamari was bland, but the cheese curds were perfect. The main dish though is where they failed. The carrots were raw hard, the mash potatoes were incredibly over salted the pork tenderloin was good but because it was served over the potatoes was salted. The creme brulee was oily , runny and had a strange taste that I can't describe. Ten minutes after leaving my stomach started cramping and the night in my hotel is not enjoyable.
