   One meal was incorrect twice, another once. Restaurant made it correctly quickly. The soda machine was running out of syrup and it took awhile to get server’s attention to change them out. The food was good.

   The Brunch at Thirsty Lion was delicious! The food selection was great and the service was excellent. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It did not disappoint. The chicken breast was plump and juicy. I will definitely be having Brunch again at Thirsty Lion.

   Poached eggs were hard cooked and food was delivered cold.

   We enjoyed a nice brunch on Sunday. Server was new, I think, and forgot drink orders several times. Overall, food and friends made it a positive experience.

   Took a long time for waiter to take drink order. Then it took forever to get the drinks. When the drinks came the food came at the same time. The French fries were mushy and nit crisp, other than that the food was very good. Just really disappointed in the speed and quality of service.

   Unfortunately the place was dirty, they squished our party of 5 into a table for 4 even though there were plenty of tables all around us; the hostess said she had reservations... Even though those tables sat empty the whole time we were there. The server skipped my dad and me when taking drink orders. Appetizer came before the drinks. My mom ordered an ice tea, but 10 minutes later the server said she was making fresh one and it would take 5 more minutes. We ended up just getting a diet coke and my dad just drank water. We asked for lemons, but they never came. Never got Appetizer plates or utentils. Had to ask for silverware when the meals arrived. Food actually tasted pretty good. Server never suggested anything... We would have ordered dessert but didn't even want to bother at this point. We noticed that the iced tea that my mom originally ordered was still on the check (twice for whatever reason). Poor service, dirty floors, poor management, high prices. No thanks.

   The atmosphere is nice and food is usually solid. Wasn’t a fan of the artichoke dip though.

    We had a big group on a busy St Patrick’s Day evening with reservations. We were seated immediately and our servers were hustling. Food was hot and well presented. Good job Thirsty Lion.
