It was packed due to an event at Toyota Music Factory that night but it was really loud, service was scarce, it took forever to get drinks and the tables were packed like sardines. Let's just say I heard every word of conversation from the groups sitting on either side of us whether I wanted to or not! That being said, we knew it would be ultra busy, having a reservation saved us at least 30 minutes of wait time and as always, the drinks and food were fantastic once we received them. As long as you're prepared to take your time, yell to conversate and be patient with staff, the food is really worth it!

Our server was outstanding! He was a very personable young man with a great since of humor. The food was delivered just a few minutes after being ordered and it was outstanding! Being from out of town, we felt fortunate to select Thirsty Lion Gastropub with no prior knowledge of any local restaurants.

Our server didn't keep us informed that the bar was running behind. Our server also didn't come and check on our table after the food came out and we had some requests that we couldn't put in nor could we order another round of drinks. One person in our party made the manager aware of the poor service and it didn't make a difference to our server. Our server never apologized for the lack of attention to our table. The food was just average at best. I wouldn't return and would choose another restaurant around the Toyota Music Factory venue if I were to return for another event.

I would give a 5 star review but they didn’t honor their happy hour special because it was Mother’s Day. I wish they would’ve included that in the fine print since I purposely chose the reservation time, thinking I would be able to get the happy hour special.

Overall we enjoyed our visit. I didn’t care for my dish at all. It was too salty. I told the waitress but she didn’t respond. She only took my plate away. Other than that, it was a nice visit there.

We were seated right away although the place wasn’t as busy as we predicted for a Friday night. The waitress was attentive. Drinks were on point. We ordered our usual app which was the Brussels and were as good as we remembered. For entrees I tried something different and went with the Kung Pao chicken. It had some heat but it tasted so good that I powered through it. My fiancé had a southwest chicken salad. Both were very tasty. Overall a good meal and experience.

The corned beef hash was mostly gristle and not edible. The eggs in the gastro pub breakfast were undercooked. They were supposed to be over easy. The whites of the eggs were not cooked properly. Overall the meals were a big disappointment.

This is absolutely one of our favorite places in the area. When we first moved we came here a few times a week. It is in our out to eat rotation for sure. My fiancé and I both love the orange chicken. I’m not normally a fish person but I also love the fish and chips. Our favorite apps are the queso and the cheese curds. The service here is always great as well. I’m not sure we’ve tried anything here that we haven’t liked. Our favorite out of all of their DFW locations!

Felt the appetizers were a little small to share for a group of 4 (spinach & artichoke dip and cheese curds- the dip was also very oily) Fish & chips were the worst I’ve ever had. They were flavorless and swimming in grease, the fries were even sitting in a pool of grease. The only enjoyable part of the meal was the cole slaw. My husband liked his burger and we both loved the bread pudding. I thought since it was a pub, the fish and chips were a safe choice but I wouldn’t recommend. If I came back, I’d definitely go towards one of the lighter meals like a salad or a grilled option.

Team dinner. Great appetizers and entrees. My go to is the salmon. Only consideration is that they were lean staffed so service took longer than expected. I'd not go there if you're in a hurry.

We sat outside and a server never came to help. We had to go inside to be serviced. They were out of a lot of things and the food was mediocre for the price. I had high expectations given the previous reviews but was sadly disappointed and I don’t plan to go back.

First visit.... very nice! When we arrived, it took the waitress about 10 minutes to come to the table. But once she did, her service was top notched. The only minor issue, the restaurant is too dark! I believe they are creating an ambiance, but it was a little too dark. We will definitely visit again!
