Our Guestbook
“ I came here with a friend, and we started with the artichoke dip and veggies--it was so good we demolished it in no time. I ordered the turkey club, and it really hit the spot! The service was okay; maybe the server was just having an off day. Either way, it's not going to stop me from coming back. ”
“ Ran in here for some quick appetizers before a movie. It was quite empty for a Thursday night, but well lit and inviting. Ordered some fries, spinach dip and Caprese flatbread. The fries were fresh and came with ketchup and aioli sauce. The Caprese was tasty and actually had a peppery kick! The spinach artichoke dip was not well made, unfortunately, and the chips were also stale. We politely stacked it in the corner of our table and our waitress, Hannah, took it off the bill without saying anything or making a big deal. Her customer service actually yields the 5 star review as it's so rare to have exceptional service in AZ. She was so friendly and accommodating. I'd recommend going to try some food and asking to be seated in her section! ”
“ I've been to the Thirsty Lion before. The night I went I sat at the bar and was able to watch MNF and the World Series. I missed Happy Hour by a couple of minutes so my two beers were $16. My fish n' chips were $20. With tip this was a $50 night Food was great. Nice ambiance. Pricey ”
“ My book club meets at this restaurant. The wait staff is always super kind and accomodating. I usually order a glass of wine, the list here of by-the-glass is small but with some quality selections. They have a happy hour menu. Several members of my club love the tacos and the sushi rolls. I like to order from the seasonal menu, thereby insuring that I can always try something new alongside that month's book selection. There is tons of parking. Reservations are accepted (a must have for a large group), they are usually not necessary if you are a small party, the place is huge. The outdoor seating is nice in the cooler weather. ”
“ A few friends and I stopped by for a quick bite before catching a movie at Harkins. Right off the bat, the manager, who was super polite, greeted us at the door and made sure we were seated right away. Props for efficiency! Our server showed up all bubbly and friendly, immediately taking our drink orders while we stared at the menu like it was a tough life decision. There were so many good options! After much internal debate, I went with the Rueben with fries, but I couldn't resist ordering the Traditional Scotch Eggs as an appetizer. I mean, who wouldn't be intrigued by something a Scottish friend raved about? When the Scotch Eggs showed up, they looked amazing - two eggs, sliced up and served with a side of course-ground brown mustard. I tried one without mustard, and it was delicious. Then I dipped it in mustard... and boom, flavor explosion! Seriously, what kind of magic is this mustard doing?! Not long after, our mains arrived. The Rueben was a solid choice - everything balanced perfectly, no soggy bread in sight (thankfully). But the fries? Ehh... not my favorite. They had this weird sweetness, which made me think that Yukon Gold potatoes were involved. Next time, I'll probably skip 'em and save room for more Scotch Eggs. Our server was awesome too - she checked on us regularly and threw in some light chit-chat, which kept things fun. With so many more things on the menu I'm dying to try, I'll definitely be back for round two! ”
