    We did HH menu and ordered a few random items. The tacos Wet amazing. The spicy chicken sliders didn't really have any taste, abs defunately no spice. The califlower was a tad overdone, which made it mushy. Three shrimp/bacon wraps were covered in stor bought bbq sauce.

    We were early by 15 mins, but they seated us directly...had a bit of a wait for our server right from the start, but was better after drinks were ordered...food was excellent...picked a great day to dine on the patio... We hadn't been there in 6 years, liked some of the changes, esp the drink menu, but really missed the Pork Tenderloins and Lamb shank from the menu...

    We had made for reservations for 3 PM. We got sat down pretty quick, it wasn’t busy for a Saturday. Our server kept forgetting for our drink or sides that we asked we had to ask other servers. she was attentive to other tables except for us.

    Service was terrible, the server would say I will refill your drinks then not do it. This happened over and over, we ran out of chips for our appetizer dip, server stated they would bring more chips, it never happened. Also when finished I asked for a copy of the receipt again server disappeared and never returned.

    My family always enjoys Thirsty Lion. Steve, our server made excellent menu suggestions that we tried and enjoyed. It is VERY loud when it's crowded, which we're aware of. I do NOT agree with the 3% service charge, which I do pay and have brought up to management in the past. We always tip over 20% but it should NOT be the customers' responsibility to pay for employee health insurance! We already contribute by paying the increased prices for the food.

    We were greeted as we entered and immediately escorted to a table. Our server, Alex, promptly asked if we wanted something to drink but we were busy catching up with our friends and hadn't given the menu a glance. She acknowledged our indecision and gave us time to settle in and then decide. She was busy, working at least four other tables besides ours, but still managed to make it seem like she was really focused on us. I am used to a server taking the order and maybe checking in once (possibly twice) before the obligatory dessert ask and presentation of the bill, but Alex stopped multiple times to see how we were doing and to chat a bit about life, the universe and everything. Besides Alex, a very charming and cordial young man brought our meals and several other workers (managers?) stopped to chat and see how we were doing. So the service was spot on without being oppressive. How was the food? Excellent. A friend had the smoked chicken salad and asked for a couple of modifications that came without question or mistake. She gave me a taste, and it was excellent. I had the carnitas salad. It was immense and delicious ... a little on the spicy side for those who need forewarning, but I found it perfect. My wife, who has a small appetite, had the fish and chips and ate everything.

    I ordered the same dish I had on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, the special Wagyu hamburger. It was terrific on Tuesday, not so good on Thursday. Kinda disappointed in the inconsistency plus the french fries that accompanied had a ton of small pieces, figured I received the bottom of a fryer basket. Overall, yesterday was not up to the standards I have counted on............

    Service wasn’t great. They’re normally a little slow here and that’s ok but this time our waiter just never came back after taking our order. We asked the waitress that dropped off our food for something (she asked if we needed anything) but then she never came back either. Eventually another waitress came by and after quite a wait she did come back with a box and after another wait she brought our check. So I quickly handed her my card before she left again but that didn’t speed anything up because she just put it in her pocket and wandered off. We could see her chatting with coworkers and she appeared to forget what she was doing because she didn’t go check out for quite some time. Once she finally stopped at the cash register it only took seconds to get the receipt. The food was as good as ever and we’ll be back but the service was very disappointing on this visit.

    Music was too loud. Couldn’t hear the person talking to me. This is a consistent issue with this place. It was during lunch. Not time to party. Music loud so everyone having to talk super loud. Very disappointed that these remarks never get addressed. I’m sure others there would say the same thing. Put that as a question on your survey. I’d say at least 90% of those who answer will say it’s too loud.

    I fine at the Thirsty Lion at both Washington Square and Tanasbourn often, at least twice a month between them. Recently the rewards program was reduced to being meaningless, which I am disappointed in. My last visit I was disappointed in the service, we dined at the WS location at 2pm on Monday, and they were not busy. We often had to catch our waiters eye or even call over to him to order a drink. While very pleasant, he never proactively came to our table and asked if we needed anything. This was an exception from what I’ve experienced at either location in the past.

    I always enjoy meeting friends for Sunday brunch and having Colin as our server. Colin is very engaging and we always enjoy catching up. As for food quality, I do feel some dishes are a bit more greasier than others, but I’ve been able to maneuver through the menu to minimize this issue. Overall, TL is great for social gatherings.

    The server was excellent, however I’m not a fan of the 2% fee charged to help offset the cost of healthcare benefits. I understand the fee is optional, I just needed to tell the server to remove the fee, lol. I didn’t do it, I just won’t be back! You should consider doing something new, maybe build the cost into the food or drink if you feel you want to offer the additional benefit?

    We enjoy happy hour here, it's a good value. The biggest problem, though, is NOISE. We asked to be moved because we were literally shouting to be heard above the sound system and the general hubbub. Out on the patio, the music was still high but the acoustics weren't as lively so we could at least have conversations, though it was still hard to hear someone two seats away.

    My corned beef hash was literally only 5 bites - the dish was tiny and I left hungry. The weirdest part was that instead of corned beef, they substituted ham cubes…. Very odd and for the price, definitely not worth it.
