The food was decent -- tasty enough, though nothing to write Grandma about. The Salted Caramel Espresso leaned a bit too heavy on the salt and light on the actual coffee kick. On the bright side, the kids were thrilled with their Mac & Cheese -- it's hard to go wrong with a classic like that! We also tried the CFC and the Alabama Slammer Burger; both hit the spot, but didn't exactly knock our socks off. The atmosphere was lively and fun, thanks to the DJ and karaoke, though it did get a touch too loud for my liking -- maybe I'm just nostalgic for a quieter supper! Our server, however, was a gem -- friendly, attentive, and quick with a smile. All in all, a pleasant spot if you're after a good time and a decent meal -- just don't expect culinary fireworks. read more

Always been a huge thirsty Beaver fan! I've been to all of them. Have to say the damn good Reuben intrigued me enough to order it....is it really damn good?? No, it's wicked damn good! The meat was tender and not fatty, perfect amount of cheese and sauce. Loved the marbled bread. The fries were ok but nothing special or memorable. They are fries. I asked my server for their opinion on a few drinks and they said go with the bad blood tini. It was seriously dangerous.....light, refreshing, icy cold, and damn delicious! Highly recommend it! Watch Hill lighthouse, East beach and the Watch Hill Carousel aren't that far if you are looking for a day trip this summer. Stop here before or afterwards! read more

Saturday afternoon stop in on my way through. Couldn't pass up a pub named Thirsty Beaver as it had me intrigued! Service was friendly and professional, unfortunately they were out of the first two local drafts I asked for and simply asked what is available as the list continued to grow with what wasn't on tap. Atmosphere is sporty/relaxed with average noise level, tunes playing and number of TVs with sports on. Able to hold a conversation with no issues. There is outdoor seating and pool to play should you desire. There are a number of weekly specials to enjoy as well. Monday $3 drafts, Tuesday 1/2 off wings/tenders, Wednesday DJ Trivia and $8 margaritas, Thursday karaoke $8 Tito martinis and Friday $12 3 shot specialty flights. I grabbed some big axe wings campfire style split between Buffalo honey mustard and sweet chili for the sauces. Was ten wings total decent size and out quickly, albeit there were only a few other customers present as well. Maybe just an off day for what's on tap and rating based on a pub being out of staff recommended local favorites on tap on a Saturday afternoon. Staff were great and wings decent as well. read more

Perfect stop if you are looking for a solid Pub Grug experience. We were a party of four and we all were thoroughly pleased with the menu as well as our individual selections. Service was courteous, prompt, efficient and attentive throughout the entire meal. Good all around Pub Grub dining experience, one we wouldn't hesitate to repeat. read more

A friend recommended this place. We were in Rhode Island visiting my dad in the hospital. It was a slow Thursday night. We ordered chicken wings and onion rings. The service was so bad and insulting. I never write bad reviews. We noticed that the chicken wasn't fully cooked and the weight just came over. She put the chicken one on a plate then went back to the kitchen. Came back and said oh it's fine. Put the chicken wing down and walk the way. So rude. Needless to say, we found two more chicken wings that had blood near the bone. We just paid the bill and left. I even left a bad tip which I'm embarrassed to say. read more

Great pub with great service! I had the Summer Cleanse, delicious. Appetizer was the Obi-Wan Pierogi, an interesting take on the pierogi. For an entree, I had the Hangover Helper, a greasy heavy dish that hit the spot. Service quick and efficient, pub atmosphere very clean and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

One of your general run of the mill highway stops. My experience here was very good, the service was great and the food was very good. Our server was very kind, we ended up staying until closing and she didn't rush us. The burger I ordered, the ole Smokey, was as incredibly juicy and tender. The jalapeño on the burger added a nice kick. Their fries are also incredible. The atmosphere is similar to that of a Cracker Barrel, the best way to describe it is a sort of southern cabin style. Over a good experience, will be visiting again read more

Went here on Friday night for the first time in 6-8 months. We were able to make a reservation which was nice. I'm not sure what happened but the menu and the food itself is even better. Like much better (and it was good before). Our server was incredibly nice and helpful. We had such a good time we went to the bar after dinner and watched some live music. If you haven't been here, or haven't been here in a while, go check it out! read more

We ordered chicken fingers and fried pickles. Both inedible. The chicken fingers tasted old freezer burned and disgusting. Pickles chewy and under cooked. Ordered water and a beer. The beer was skunked and zero carbonation. No soap in the bathroom so we assume no one there washes their hands. Only 4 people there took about 10 minutes to be waited on. I'm assuming by the lack of people there word has spread about how gross it is. Too bad. Update. We are ill. That chicken was old or something was off. read more

Meh. We arrived at 6pm on a summer Friday night and 90% of the tables were empty. Our experience explained why that might be. Inattentive service, long wait for food despite only 2 other tables ordering, 7 minute wait for tartar sauce that didn't come out with the fish and chips, asked for our check before we finished eating and no one came back to pick it up, so we just left it on the table and walked out. Oh and it was soooo cold in there. read more

Christine is a good bartender very personable. Food is bar style. maybe a 5. Pool Table is level and the banks are good , but its in a pit. NFL TICKET FOOTBALL ... where you can watch any game you want. read more

Been there about 5 times. First 2 experiences were great. The last 3 they told us the kitchen was closed...on 3 different Saturdays at 5pm. For a chain restaurant to do this constantly calls for immediate closure. Hope the next restaurant in that location learns from this trash food chain. read more

thirsty beaver was fine , average and would come back. unpublished kids menu as well. chain so keep that in mind go ahead! i made an odd choice for me, the meatloaf sandwich, it was not the normal burger, but meatloaf is almost the same. my onion straws were on the thicker (aka chunky) side, and as much as my gluttonous self is, i do like straws, but petals are a bit too much, your tolerance might vary. so anyway, i took them off after a while but it was too late for me. otherwise, i still ate the whole thing, well, what didnt fall onto the table. fries were on point boy got a burger, said it was mid, i might have liked it, but again. fish tacos were a hit lemonade however, no, pass, your child will not appreciate, neither would your fantom taxing, just saying. atmosphere that night, well, there was live music, the quality of said music will stand at 3 stars, not jimmy buffet also not warren buffet. tvs and sports and crap like that everywhere. its a decent option in the beachie community. this location is cursed, so i hope we can get back again. i just had it stuffed.. read more

I ordered a supreme sprout salad for take out on a Saturday evening. It was supposed to come with blue cheese, cranberries, crispy chicken peas, shaved Brussel sprouts and a few other things. When the salad arrived it had about 4 chick peas from a can,2 pieces of Brussel sprout and was missing most of the salad. I called back and was offered another salad. This one was still missing many of the ingredients, though it did have salad dressing this time. Both salads were the size of a small side salad and missing most of the ingredients listed. The person on the phone was very nice when she offered me another entree, but what was listed on the menu was not what I received. read more

While the service was good. The food isn't even worth being called "bar food". Their fried chicken tenders were dry and chewy. The side of carrots was 3 small pieces and 2 pieces of celery. read more

Service not to good, food was not that great, won't go back. Dissatisfied no selection, boring menu. Awful

If our family didn't love karaoke, this would be a one star review. We were on vacation in the area and came for $8 martini and karaoke Thursday, called four hours before to confirm our reservation for 20 people. We got there and didn't receive any menus, waited 20 minutes for gross drinks and lukewarm beer, and were told "the bar was backed up" (there were four tables occupied). Our waitress was extremely unpleasant, telling our table to "deal with the wrong order or wait another 45 minutes for food." Oh, and let's not forget the fact that there was NO LETTUCE OR ANY GREENS. Most of our party got the wrong food and had to order drinks directly from the bar. Honestly, if it weren't for the karaoke, we would've left. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. If you're going to advertise an $8 martini and karaoke night, be full staffed and have enough food. read more

Ordered cheeseburger cooked medium and received order well done. No taste to the burger at all! I would not recommend!

What can improve you ask. How about everything. Let's start off I had a Guinness beer today. It was flat. The wine my wife had was out dated and old as if the wine was opened and left with air in the but what am I supposed to say about crappy wine at a crappy restaurant? As for my Burger to be cooked medium It was Rate. My waffle fries sucked. My wife's chicken sandwich was over cooked and her fries had no seasoning what so ever. Seriously. Your a pub try harder. I witnessed several orders of wings come out. They looked over cooked. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. Skip it ! Move on ! read more

Food was way overcooked and bland at best. Very disappointing. Would not acclimate for a simple unseasoned piece of chicken breast, burger was burned, mac & cheese tasted plastic read more

The food was great and fast. My waitress Read was super kind, attentive, and fast. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Ate here with 4 other friends, went in for lunch around 1:30p and it was not busy at all. We went here because the Cranston location is awesome. We were greeted and seated right away. There were approximately 4-5 other tables with approximately 3-4 guests at them. We reviewed the menus and ordered our drinks, all soft drinks came but the one beer we ordered took over 15 minutes. The bar was not full and had approximately 8 guests eating and drinking. The bartender did not appear overwhelmed and we saw him make some kind of shake for himself before pouring the beer we ordered. We asked the server twice why the beer was taking so long, she explained she could not pour the beer and the bartender gets side tracked by talking too much. We placed our order and the appetizers (regular nachos & fried pickles) took about 25 minutes. The fried pickles were lukewarm and the nachos were okay. All of our food came out about 12-15 mins laters and the food orders were correct and hot. The server was friendly and tried her best, but is a product of her training which was below average, I would not recommend this location. read more

I stopped by The Thirsty Beaver in Westerly (former Sea Goose Grill) late afternoon for an early dinner. The place inside was quite loud with music blaring, crowd noise, and TVs on, bar area and dining areas all in the same open space. The place has the atmosphere of a rustic roadhouse sports bar. They offer a full beer, wine, and mixed drinks menu with plenty of beers on tap. The food menu offers pub fare including sandwiches, burgers, comfort dishes, pizzas, wings, appetizers, salads, and cold drinks. The prices at this location seem reasonable. I decided to head up to the bar and sat down at an open chair since I was by myself. I was immediately offered a drink (got an ice water) and given a food menu as requested. I ordered the Misquamicut Reel ($12 plus tax) which was a crispy beer battered fish sandwich, topped with greens, pickled red onions cilantro aioli on a toasted brioche roll, served with choice of side (I got the French fries). The sandwich was a good sized and the beer batter was deep fried golden and thick. The golden fries were salted and crisp. I did request tartar sauce for my sandwich and there was already ketchup, mustard and malt vinegar at the bar. I was given a box upon request for some the food and given the check for $12.96 with tax and before tip. As I was leaving, the place was getting really busy with groups of people entering the restaurant. read more

My first visit to the Beav, yes, I coined this nickname, as we felt right at home from the moment we stepped inside. We had the pleasure of having Jane as our server. You have all heard of an Old Salt, well Jane is the definition of an Old Salt in the hospitality industry. This is not an insult to Jane, just the opposite. Clearly, she has been doing this for a long time, and any server could benefit from her knowledge and experience. We found her to be attentive, fast, and hysterical. Her humor made my husband laugh, which is no easy task, lol. We started with Big Axe Wings, and with a variety of sauces to choose from, we opted for the buffalo honey mustard. We had them fried then girlled as this was another option. They were amazing. The reuben was my husband's top choice, but they were out. He has been here once before, and says it is the best reuben he has ever had. It's not surprising that they ran out of this popular choice. The Alabama Slamma was his 2nd choice and he was very pleased with it. I chose the Lumberjack Steak, the hoagie rolls were so soft and fresh, the shaved steak with caramelized onions and cheese was so delicious that I want to go back right now. You get the usual selection of fries, salads, and so on. For the price, the portions are very generous. I noticed they had a pup patio wherepatrons enjoyed a beautiful sunny day with their pups. I love places that allow outdoor dining, and especially places that have an area for our furry friends. We were seated next to a garage door constructed out of windows that occupied most of the wall, giving the interior a unique look. There are no booths, only tables, but they are spaced far enough apart so you don't feel crowded. Thirsty Beaver's atmosphere, service, and food were extremely impressive to me, and I look forward to returning in the future. read more

Stopped by on the way back to our hotel. It has only been open for about six months and everything was pristine. We were greeted immediately and they made sure we were seated quickly. Good menu with a few vegan options to go along with their take on some common American food. I had the wings camp style, which were tasty and well cooked. I chose to try the white BBQ sauce and I am still undecided on the taste, not bad but interesting. The burger was cooked perfectly and everyone enjoyed their order. They have a good size draught selection and some signature cocktails on the menu. We were attended to with frequent checks, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and what each item was, and made some good suggestions. read more

Great food and vibe. Unfortunately, I left my Ray Bans on the table and called the next day with no luck. The restaurant was pretty dead when I was there so very unlikely another customer took them. Got the runaround for the next week from staff that they hadn't seen them and "didn't know where someone would put them for lost and found." read more

Great service, reasonable prices, food was mixed. I didn't care for the wings, they were a little overcooked. Burger was awesome though.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! From the moment we called to get a reservation for our group of 12, they were super accommodating. Seating us as we walked through the door. We decided to pop in after our Long Beach day! Our waiter Patrick was amazing, super helpful with ordering. He was so efficient and friendly! We started with the tumble weed appetizer, was delicious and nice and hot! The tacos were amazing!! As was the Alabama slamma! This is absolutely gonna be a go to after every beach day! 100% recommend, food and service! Also the Mac and cheese is slamminggggg! read more

We met my daughter for lunch there one Tuesday at 12:30p. There were only a few other people scattered about and the bartender waited on us. My husband ordered his usual, fish and chips, my daughter had the buffalo chicken salad, and I had the Brussel sprouts app and a small Ceasar salad. Let's start there. It was awful. I'm sure it was bottled dressing, but they should not have bought another after the first bottle was used! Choose another brand! The Brussels weren't awful but they weren't great. I love Brussels sprouts. They're so easy to make yummy. Not these though. When I asked my daughter about her lunch she gave me a "meh" and my husband said the same. He orders fish and chips everywhere and has never gotten such a small piece of fish. The French fries weren't even worth eating. Don't bother eating here. I heard from others that its only selling point is as a beer joint. read more

If I could rate this place a zero, I would. The manager is horrendous. He wouldn't refund me after I told him I had a family emergency. He lied to me saying he did, but the charge still appeared on my credit card. He was super unprofessional and I hope he loses his job. Westerly does not need businesses like that around. I will make sure to let all my friends and family know never to support this restaurant. read more

The food is very good! Very fresh! The burgers looked great and so did the pizza and tables that had them left nothing on their plates! Prices are very good for the quality of food you get ! My husband had the fish and chips and the haddock was so very fresh ! I had a salad that was excellent! The pub is informal and relaxing ! Our waitress Molly was a delight - so friendly and welcoming! And she took great care of us ! As they stay open a better sound system is needed. And please wash the windows and clean up the outside walkway they detract from being a great new spot on Post Rd. Keep up the great pub food- there will be a line out the door waiting to get in before the summer is over! read more

We have never been to a Thirsty Beaver until last night in Westerly. 1. Waitstaff was good. 2. Chicken sandwich was ok but cool in temperature. 3. Corned been sandwich was stingy in texture and not good. 4. Burgers were cool in temperature, tasted like frozen vs fresh and not good. 5. I HATE being nickel and dimed so really $2 more for frozen crappy tater tots? I can understand $2 for side salad instead of frozen crappy fries but tater tots cost the same at Stop & Shop so why more at this restaurant? 6. Beer was cold so that is why I gave it 1 star. *if you want great pub food go to other places around Westerly/Charlestown/South Kingstown and keep driving by this place! read more

Went Sunday afternoon for lunch. It was a table of three of us. We had ordered the tumbleweeds and the freckles for an appetizer. Both were good. The burger I got was good my other friend got the appetizer brussels sprouts for her lunch she loved it my other friend order the garlic Alfredo pizza thing and the waitress didn't put pizza down but put in pasta. So they had to start from scratch and make her pizza while we had our food. She said the pizza was fine, but she was disappointed. In the fact that you know she said pizza and it was put in as pasta. We all were very polite and nice because of that issue but you would think they would've Comped at least one of the appetizers for the inconvenience because she basically had a few bites and put it in a box cause we were all done. I will go back again. I did enjoy what I had. But I think you know It would've been nice had somebody decided to make up for the inconvenience. read more

We had an excellent meal - reasonably priced and great service. We were looking for a quick bite to eat and it didn't disappoint.

Update. Not getting any better here, and I struggle to understand why & who gets an actual pint glass because 10% of the glasses are legit. Saw a guy with a pint glass and figured they got their favorites or locals... nope his next beer 10oz bulls got pour. They had a ton of people behind the bar and a guy next to us says hey can you make me a cocktail. Guys says nope I'm a bar back talk to a bartender. Had an appetizer and it was Meh. A lot of people in there but for how long? $35 tab for a $10 app and two 10oz beers. Stop with the bullshit glasses! read more
