Wife and I went here for my birthday. We had the boom boom shrimp and an order galic parm wings for a starter. Loved the shrimp and the wings were big and delicious. She had house salad and me the thirsty bam burger both we really enjoyable, I would recommend giving the The Thirsty Pony a try.

The most “vegas” place in sandusky. They have great food, great drinks, and great betting….on horse racing! Highly recommend the godfather pasta and the stuffed banana peppers! They even serve drinks in fun souvenirs for those of you that are traveling and want something to take home! 10/10

I’m going to start this review by first stating that I am from New Orleans. I know food. I know fun. I know restaurants. I know good service when I receive it.
We were on vacation visiting Cedar Point for 3 days. We needed a good place to eat because we were done with McDonald’s and other mediocre fast food joints.
We saw this place by our hotel, and decided to go in. It’s gimmicky. But, it’s gimmicky in the most excellent way! I’m not going to try to describe the inside because you can easily Google images of this place.
I’m going to tell all of you that the food is probably some of the best food I’ve had at an establishment like this. Their Ruben sandwich is amazing. I’ve never had one so good in my entire life. Their ribs are freaking great! Trust me, we tried each other’s food, and we found everything to be delicious as if you’re in New Orleans. I’m serious, places like this don’t normally have great food, but this place has freaking awesome food!
There is beer here. Their beer is really good. Their service is really good. The waiters and waitresses are really good. The bartenders are really good. Everybody is so freaking friendly and fun. We enjoyed going here three times while we were in Sandusky.
I highly recommend this place for any vacationer in the area, or just anybody living in this area. We are so happy we ate here, and we would come again in a heartbeat.

I was so excited ! I love the decor if you love horses- like I do – its great!
Free beer and wine and a chocolate horse shaped sucker in the room. So cool !
We brought our grandson here and drove almost 4 hrs to come here for the night, bowl and play games and then are fishing tomorrow morning – should have been perfect——- except the bowling and all the games closed early because no one was there after their league finished. And they wouldn’t make any exceptions. I really am struggling with so many emotions of how disappointed I am. Had we known they would do this , we could have eaten in that area instead of the restaurant to let them know we were going to be using the bowling and game rooms… I really don’t know what else to say- I’m heartbroken that the night we had planned and been so excited for didn’t happen. I honestly want to just cry. You get these chances once in a while with your kids and grandkids and they closed early?????
I can’t even process – the pictures were before the disappointing ending

I stopped at Thirsty Pony in Sandusky over winter break with my daughter and nephew, and overall it was such a fun experience for the kids. The atmosphere was lively and family-friendly, and they had a blast while we were there. It’s definitely a spot that keeps kids entertained and makes it a little easier to relax as a parent.
What truly stood out was the staff’s integrity and kindness. I accidentally left my credit card there, and not only did they go out of their way to mail it back to me, they included a cute little Thirsty Pony drink coozie in the envelope. That was such an unexpected and thoughtful touch.
Customer service like that really matters. The atmosphere and the way they handled my mistake absolutely left a positive impression. Thank you to the team for going above and beyond — that kindness did not go unnoticed!

We drive by this restaurant so often in the summer while coming or going to Cedar Point and have never stopped. We happened to be staying at Castaway Bay this weekend and decided to try it per recommendations and we are kicking ourselves for not trying it sooner!
The food was excellent! I got a hungry bam burger – 10/10
My husband got a steak and said it was comparable of not better than TX roadhouse.
My boys each got kids meals and at first I thought the $12 price was steep but there was a ton of food as well as a treat and a little toy thing to take home which is really sweet.
There was also a special on beer so that was cool!
I dont remember our servers name (I think Amanda?) She was very nice! Not too overbearing but attentive.
We definitely recommend and will be back!

We were in Sandusky for spring break. I wanted to take my family to a family, friendly sports bar and watch the NFL draft so we settled here on the thirsty pony.
We were surprised to see a place that was offering the “world famous “Fricker’s chicken wings. Were from Dayton, Ohio so we have Fricker everywhere. We know better than they used to be great wings. They’re more basic bar wings at best, but we decided to go here because it felt familiar compared to the other sports bars in the area.
First off the good. We like the non-Fricker’s items, especially the appetizers, like the Nashville, hot cheese, curds, and the giant pretzel. We also liked the kids meals because they came and divided plates with applesauce and goldfish.
What we didn’t like. Where to start honestly every review that you read about service times and the weight staff is 100% correct after being told to sit wherever we’d like it took almost 20 minutes for us to be greeted in another 15 to 20 minutes just to get waters. As time went on, I started to notice how dirty the restaurant was and also it would smell like weed here and there. I don’t know if it was the kitchen staff or an open window somewhere, but it seemed to blow in here and there and really ruined the atmosphere.
Don’t be wrong. This place definitely has potential and has some good ideas built into the concept, but it needs a major overhaul. If it’s gonna be family friendly I’m assuming they’re only surviving off of the sports betting that’s happening and the hotel that’s next-door.

Sat down for pizza and wings while waiting for bowling to open up. A mouthful of pizza I had tasted like it came out of an ashtray full of blunts. I spit it into a napkin and had the other 4 family members smell… they all could smell the overwhelming marijuana odor. Manager apologized and replaced pizza. I took the spit out piece home and it still reeks the next morning. This all overshadowed the hair that was in the boneless wing garlic parm sauce.

Our family of 5 tried to eat here today (lunch, 2:00pm) and we sat for 15 minutes without being greeted at our table. They were NOT busy, two other tables were occupied and one was leaving. We decided to leave and as we passed through the exit, two employees were just chatting it up looking at their phones. Oh well. Famous Dave’s got our business instead.

Best burger in the area: BAM burger , garlic and horseradish incorporated in the special grind, tastes amazing. The stuffed peppers, meatballs, hanging bacon apps are awesome. The great tasting homewrecker chili dog can feed 2 or 3 . Great specials outside of touron season for us locals keep me coming back often. Keep up the good work and great food my peeps! Love this place.
