"We love this place. We live really close and this is a very nice place with great food and a nice atmosphere. I don't think my wife has cought on yet but one of the many reasons i love this place is because they have TVs everythere and there is always a good game on. Again, this is a great place to go to and we love going to the Thursty Lion when we get tired of going to Four Peaks."

"Sat outside overlooking the mall - lots of foot traffic. Appetizers were good and substantial - caesar salad and beer and cheese soup.Had the fish and chips, chicken penne with gorganzola and the pork tenderloin with black cherry BBQ sauce. Everything was excellent. Service was attentive."

"Overall we had a great time at the Thirsty Lion. The waitress we had is the only negative from the evening. It took 15 min to get our first drink and she was hard to track down when we needed anything. But the food was great and the prices were fair. We will definitely go back!"

"This was the 2nd time we ate at this restaurant in 3 days. To say the least we are glad we found this place. They are very welcoming and are glad you are dining with them. The service is excellent. We all four enjoyed our food. Two of us had the fish and chips. They were plentiful and excellent. My husband had the filet. It was larger than you usually get in other restaurants and also of excellent quality. He loved it. My friend had a pizza and she was very pleased and took home enough for another meal for later. All in all we had no complaints. Oh yea, my husband had a hot fudge sundae and my friend had the blackberry cobbler. Both looked delicious. We had a ball."

"It was our first time. We might go again tomorrow night. We loved the food and the service. Our welcome was fantastic. I had shrimp tacos. They were delicious. My husband had salmon and he said he loved it. Our son had a filet, it looked great, perfect in fact. Our son said it was absolutely delicious. All 6 of us at our table were very pleased with the food and the server was very pleasant and extremely helpful."
