    Only my second time to dine here. I was much more impressed with the service and food quality. Their flatbreads are the best I have ever had, especially the pear and pineapple.

    Totally a chill place to go get a bite to eat and enjoy the game or just talk. Lovely service and the food is really good. Not a lot of conventional food choices but what is offered is done very well. Will definitely come back for a quick bite.

    My friend and I made a reservation on Saturday night to get brunch at Thirsty Lion on Sunday morning. We didn't need one, as it wasn't very busy at all. Our expectations were consistently exceeded throughout our entire visit. I was thinking that this would be more of your typical pub/bar, but everyone that worked there made us feel like we were dining at somewhere much fancier. They opened the doors for us and were so kind and friendly. Our waiter, Seth, was amazing and gave us great recommendations and wonderful service. He truly made our experience! The food was delicious -- I had the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and it was so good. I also ordered my fries with a side of ranch and their ranch is absolutely delicious. My friend got the huevos rancheros and loved them as well. Everything was perfect and all of our requests were taken into consideration. The mimosa bottle was also great, their orange juice was so good and it's a great value at $30 for between 6-8 drinks when a mimosa off the menu is $10. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a delicious brunch with wonderful service.
