We had a wonderful meal at the Thirsty Lion at Westgate. Alex was our server and she was very pleasant and provided excellent customer service. Our food was hot and tasty, and served in a very timely manner. We will be back.

This is the second time to this location. Wait staff is friendly and prompt. Place was super busy and bar was backed up, so took some time for our drinks to arrive. This does not pertain to the location, but the Thirsty Lion rewards program is iffy. No app that works properly. Signed up last time for $10 reward, and never got the reward. They did honor the $1 off, because I was able to show them the text I got confirming my enrollment. Would definitely go back. Happy Hour menu is great and extensive!

Loved this restaurant. Food was delicious and so were the alcoholic drinks. Wish I knew our waitress name, as she was amazing. Best server ever. She is a GCU student majoring in nursing. Thanks for the great meal and service.

We unfortunately didn’t have the best service. Thirty minutes at the table and I had to ask for a server . (maybe just an off night) but the company was great. We ended up only having appetizers and drinks because the server seemed uninterested or distracted .
