My friend and I made a reservation on Saturday night to get brunch at Thirsty Lion on Sunday morning. We didn't need one, as it wasn't very busy at all. Our expectations were consistently exceeded throughout our entire visit. I was thinking that this would be more of your typical pub/bar, but everyone that worked there made us feel like we were dining at somewhere much fancier. They opened the doors for us and were so kind and friendly. Our waiter, Seth, was amazing and gave us great recommendations and wonderful service. He truly made our experience! The food was delicious -- I had the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and it was so good. I also ordered my fries with a side of ranch and their ranch is absolutely delicious. My friend got the huevos rancheros and loved them as well. Everything was perfect and all of our requests were taken into consideration. The mimosa bottle was also great, their orange juice was so good and it's a great value at $30 for between 6-8 drinks when a mimosa off the menu is $10. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a delicious brunch with wonderful service.

Really disappointed. Walked in with a reservation, but waited for the table to be "ready." Then it took ten minutes for drinks after waiting for server ten minutes to come by and get drink order. Super disjointed meal experience that makes me question what is going on. Almost got up to leave initially as we were close enough to the kitchen because kitchen management, front of house management, and multiple servers saw us. At the same time another manager seemed to be parked with an individual in the middle of the restaurant for almost the entire meal. It was clear this wasn't customer recovery, but was social. Yo...you owe the entire restaurant your attention especially when servers don't do check backs and I have to beg for drink refills.

Multifaceted menu that has something for everyone. That is a hard task, but Thirsty Lion offers interesting appetizers, a wide array of salads and good signature dishes from burgers to high end chef selections. Our group of four came away happy and our "must revisit" list.
