   Fully appreciate work lunches at Thirsty Lion Tempe - parking spots are readily available, and Ahi Poke Bowl never ever disappoints!

   Our service was very slow, there was some loud air vents on the patio that made it hard to hear and visit with people at our table. Good was pretty good, but little over priced. And fries were over done. Seating comfortable, servers and hostess were very nice.

   Got a table pretty quickly on a Friday night. Good atmosphere. Service was a bit slow and spotty at times. Our waiter could have been a little more attentive. But overall, the night was pleasant.

   The food was delicious & our server, Allison was great! The only drawback was the noise level (music) was at a very high decibel, according to my smartwatch! We asked to be seated outside, as the hostess suggested and it was very tolerable outside. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience!

   What a wonderful night!! Joe our server was just exceptional! He was very understanding with my modifications and showed no frustration whatsoever. I asked to speak with management and I was even more impressed when Nick the district manager came over and introduced himself. I wanted him to know what a wonderful experience this was and how pleased we were. We visit this establishment at least once a month and always look forward to it. Can’t wait to go back with more friends! GREAT JOB TEAM

   Meals and beer were ok. Service was lousy. Not sure if staff was overloaded or what, but we were not looked after. We won’t be back.

   Team seemed to be a bit off today. From the hostess bringing 2 menus for a party of 4 and when asked for St. Patrick's menus, we only got 1. Server was nice but went a bit of time without checking on us or looking out to see if we might need something. And it wasn't so busy at 11:15am. Food was good.

    St Paddy’s specials were spot on! Great selection and pricing. Our server, Tanecia, was attentive and exemplary! We mentioned wanting to share our meals to enjoy more of the menu and she had the kitchen split them without having to ask! And she brought out the items one at a time rather than a “dump and run”. Totally enjoyed lunch today. Coming back for sure!
