Diner Reviews
  • "I brought friends here who were staying in a hotel near by. They were delighted with the Thursty Lion. We wanted a place where we could relax and catch up. Thirsty Lion was the perfect spot. Dependable food and service. When I make a reservation, I am always seated promptly. It's my place for casual."

  • "Our table of 4 got different dishes, all good! I thought the scallops on special were overpriced for 4 of them. Nice to have so many choices for all tastes and ages."

  • "They called me the day of our reservation to confirm and to ask us of we preferred indoor or outdoor. This is the first time a restaurant ove been to using open table did this. They also had the gluten free menu ready for one of our guests. They read the open table notes and are great. I wish I could say every open table restaurant had this kind of service."

  • "I probably eat here 2 or 3 times a month. The food is great. Always great service. It gets crowded at noon do we try to arrive by 1130. Little bit noisy for my taste but we manage by requesting a booth along the back wall."

  • "There were only 3 tables with people at them when we arrived (so like 20+?) open tables and the hostess was going to seat us pretty much right on top of another table for 2. I asked immediately if we could sit somewhere else. She did seat us at the other end - far away - until she sat another couple directly next to us (practically AT our table) about 30 min later. She also told us we could order from the happy hour menu and apparently they don't have happy hour on the weekends. Our server was good. Food was good. Alcoholic drinks are VERY weak. Also, there was a Milwaukie Brewers baseball game playing on the outdoor speakers instead of music which was ridiculous. So we had to sit and listen to a boring baseball game along w/ commercials."

  • "TL fits well in this space...suburbia. Food is generally decent. Service is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Over the years we have visited 10times which says they must be doing something right."

  • "The music was not as loud as our previous visits, making for a much nicer dining experience. I observed most of the other diners having lively conversation and enjoying each other's company. Past visits required everyone to shout so loud over the deafening music they couldn't hear each other. This time it was pleasant background and everyone at our table could hear each other. Thank you for listening to the feedback. We'll definitely be back sooner."

  • "We were there for happy hour and enjoyed the patio dining. My dinner was just okay, while my guests thoroughly enjoyed theirs. They were out of a few items for drinks on the menu, which was disappointing. It was a very warm day and we looked forward to their cocktails. I'd been here before for dinner and was anxious to get back for some of the same. It was okay. Not great."

  • "Great happy hour menu, excellent service and servers can easily split up the bill (1/4 Callifornia Roll,etc.) so that there's no huge math hassle at the end!"

  • "We’ve eaten here many times for lunch and really enjoyed their salads, soups, and sandwiches. This was our first time for dinner. My wife ordered salmon and it, along with the green beans had very little flavor. My order of ribs was very tough and had small soft bones in it. Good lunch spot, but I can't recommend it for dinner."

  • "Went for options outside the traditional pub fare offered. Ceviche scallops tasted like boiled prawns and scallops were a small portion of so - so cooked shellfish on a huge pile of rice. Should have stuck to pub grub."

  • "Hello! We arrived at Thirsty Lion in Tigard to find the place totally packed. Lots of people waiting to be seated! So, we were very happy that we had made reservations. We got right in and were sat at a booth as we had requested. Very prompt service from the hostess and wait staff. Food was excellent, calamari was delish and worth the $10. We will be back for sure, and wished there was a Thirsty Lion location at the Clackamas Town Center area. thanks!!"

  • "There are tons of great restaurants close in to Portland. But the Beaverton area around highway 217 is lacking. Even the Bridgeport area has limited options of really nice and classy places. Thirsty Lion is a hidden gem. Perfect for many events. Dates, brunch. Groups. Food is excellent. Large sports TVs running , but video only, no audio. More of a social bar/restaurant rather than a sports bar. Varied seating options inside and out. Been there approx 30 times in last 3 years. Every time excellent. !!!!!!"

  • "My overall rating of the lion is very good. The food, service, and ambiance were all very good. The noise level was moderate which reflects the active level of activity in the place"
    Dined on 5/14/2014
  • "We were pleasantly surprised when we went in on a weekday evening for a light meal. One of our biggest complaints at restaurants lately is the inattentive staff and slow service. Not at the Thirsty Lion. Water was delivered and drink order taken right away. Server took our order when we were ready and the food came out timely. We will be back. An important factor seemed to be a dining room manager that kept in eyes open. "

  • "For the 3rd time in a row we made reservations for dinner and requested a booth. Because we arrived 15 min. before our reservation the host staff informed us that we would be seated closer to our reservation time. The people in the booth they were going to seat us at had already been there 45 min. (same thing we were told on our previous 2 reservations). About 20 minutes PAST our reservation time, we asked the status of the booth. The same host staff told us the people in the booth had only been there 40 minutes so they were going to be a while. What?! They told us 35 minutes earlier they had already been there 45 minutes! So 30 minutes after our reservation we decided to bag it and just take a table. Reservations? Why bother? "

  • "Always had really good food here. Service is usually pretty decent; a couple of really good waiters. Noise level is maddening. Turn down that blasted music. I don't want to raise my voice just so my friends can hear me at the same table. Also, when I order appetizers, give me a chance to eat them before bringing the entrees."

  • "Hubby likes the selection of beers, try the beer flight to sample several. Food was prepared well, service was quick and friendly. They were not too busy on this visit. It can get loud on game nights, lots of TVs to watch the game. Kids liked the mac N cheese (big curly noodles) and the pizza(a little greasy). The Beer Cheese soup is really good!"
