Highly recommend! Grabbed a margarita inside and ordered dinner from the food truck. The blackened shrimp + blackened mahi tacos were amazing as well as the cheese curds! Awesome vibe with music, ping pong, and corn hole. Plenty of seating. Great space for kids to run around. Can’t wait to go back!

The Thirsty Surfer hosted our family for a weekend wedding lunch. The service was outstanding and everybody really loved the food and drinks. I truly couldn’t recommend them enough! Do yourself a favor and get to the Thirsty Surfer! You’ll be glad you did.

The food truck is phenomenal! The outdoor space is great and the 4 kids we had with us had a blast. Not super busy on a Wednesday evening. Inside was a pool table, multiple tvs and plenty of seating.. 100% will be back here before we go home!

Really cool spot that we happened to stumble on. Great service, great drinks, and great vibes. The fish tacos we had from the food truck were the best we have ever had (or possibly will ever have). Cool tee shirts/merch, too–I regret not grabbing one!
Will definitely come back the next time we are down here.

I had really high hopes for this spot! I read reviews, looked at the Facebook, and was excited to have a spot that was good for adults and kids, because that’s what they all said. As a mother, I would never bring my kids here again, and would caution most from bringing their kids here. It’s definitely an adult atmosphere that’s also trying to cater to kids. The entire place smelled like cigarettes. Most of the parents weren’t watching their kids, the kids area was a giant free for all, I got tripped within the first two minutes by someone’s kid running across the bar unattended, and I did not feel safe with my kids there. There were so many dogs inside and at one point some dogs started fighting inside near the bar area. It was just a whole mess. Really fun for a young adult crowd without kids, but absolutely not safe for kids at all and I feel like it shouldn’t be marketed as a family friendly spot.
