We enjoy this restaurant and their wide selection of both food and adult beverages. They have recently updated the menu which was a nice surprise. Our favorite from here is the cheese curds. These are always fresh and delicious. We also enjoy the salads and flatbreads. The restaurant is large with a large patio and can accommodate any size group. Their staff is always a pleasure and we enjoy talking to them. This is a great place to go for a casual sit down meal!

My bestie and I came here to enjoy a mom’s night out. It was incredibly busy and had to wait about 20 minutes and then placed on the patio. Our visit was during September and the misters were going full speed but we were getting more wet then we had liked. Our server was very nice but speed was not her strength. The patio was dead because not many wanted to sit out there. We waited a bit to be greeted and to get waters to start. They have a regular menu and a seasonal menu. It will take time to look it over check it out online first of you are indecisive. We landed on starting with the spicy tuna roll and the spicy fried cauliflower. The tuna roll was basically and disappointing I’ve had better from the frys sushi bar. We did enjoy the cauliflower and the sauce used they were cooked really well. For our mains we ordered the green chili chicken and avocado club and my friend ordered a salad. It took a while for our food to come out we understand being busy there is a wait but we are certain they forgot our order as the server came over and asked about our meal and we told her we were still waiting. The food presentation ot beautiful but the food isn’t worth the wait. Not bad overall experience but not rushing to come back either. There should be something here for anyone in your group to find to eat which is nice.

We had Kim as our server tonight and were blown away with the service and the food and drinks! The seasonal autumn bowl was delicious, the pickle spears are top fried pickles we’ve had, the poke stack was fresh and perfectly portioned. ALL of the drinks were worth ordering another.
The cherry on top was our server though, Kim exceeded expectations and was extremely knowledgeable and attentive.

Our server was excellent! The best part – my husband and I split the Fish and Chips (yummy!) and they brought the food out on two separate plates – beautiful presentation on both plates! We were shocked. When we split our food at every other restaurant, they bring out the food and give us a separate plate and we have to split it up. Not the Thirsty Lion! That small gesture made our dining experience amazing!

Great indoor or outdoor vibe, fabulous scratch kitchen, nice selection of spirits & zero proof cocktails, friendly service, incredible desserts. The spicy fried cauliflower appetizer is FIRE! Gotta try it!

The Thirsty Lion (Desert Ridge Marketplace location)
From the moment we walked up, we had a great experience. The hostess actually opened the door for us and got our group seated right away—super friendly vibe from the start.
Our server was awesome—introduced himself, took our drink orders right away (we had a few beers and some soft drinks), and stayed on top of everything without being overbearing. He checked in before the food came out and even helped deliver it with another staff member.
We started with the edamame appetizer, which was fresh and delicious. I had the jalapeño burger—huge, juicy, and full of flavor. Another person in our group ordered the steak, and it came out cooked perfectly and tasted amazing.
Service stayed solid the whole time—our server checked in during the meal, and both he and the hostess thanked us as we were leaving.
The only small downside was that the neon “Thirsty Lion” sign out front was partially illuminated—some letters were off—which made the place look a little less inviting from the outside. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
Overall though, great food, great service, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely planning to come back!

Decided to go here after getting Justification non-service at Kona Grill.
As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Dave, one of the managers. He was super friendly and seated us immediately. We even had a friendly conversation. Dave immediately brought us water as well It was so nice to see the manager bring us our water. Some managers think they’re too good for that in other restaurants. Dave took the time to give us some great recommendations on the menu.
Crystal ended up being our server and our service was awesome. She was friendly, informative, very prompt and kept our drinks filled.
The food was delicious and came out very fast.
The atmosphere in the patio was beautiful. The place was very clean and I saw no dirty tables. Tables were cleaned immediately.
We really enjoyed our lunch and are looking forward to bringing our guest there.

This was a quick stop for a drink and an appetizer before a movie. The bartender greeted us right away and was very personable and attentive. We decided to try the BBQ shrimp and they were quite tasty. Looking forward to going back soon and trying more of their tempting menu items.

Our severe Kim was amazing! She was able to cater to our needs as well as the needs of other patrons. She is truly talented and made my trip to Phoenix memorable. The food was good just not the 5 . Everything was bothering visit though.

Popped in after work with my husband and had the best experience and it was completely unexpected, we’ve driven by thirsty lion a million times and never knew it was such a gem!! To start Nadia was THE BEST, shes incredibly kind and her recommendations were spot on, we will be asking for her every time!! The cider was cold, crisp and refreshing. The blood orange margarita was delicious without being overly sweet and the food was incredible!! Spicy chicken sliders are my new fave, we also tried a couple things off of their winter menu, all impeccable!!! 10,000,000 out of 10!!!
