So it's been forever since i have been back to Thirsty turtle I kind of forgot about it actually but my friend wanted to come. I like the music and vibe here. It's a sports bar. They have happy hour specials. Food is good. Service can be all over the place. Had some language barriers as well. But I'll come back for food and drinks and the music. Yall know I love my reggaeton!! But they play a good mix but mostly reggaeton. I usually get the crab legs and oysters here and also the appetizer sampler. Everything i have tried here has been good. Usually not too busy so you don't have to wait long. Plenty of parking as well. read more

Came out for a birthday for a friend and coworker. Found the place to so much fun. Love the karaoke stage. The staff were so awesome. Omg and the drinks wow. I had two fish bowls and thank God I had a designated driver prod had to call a cab for sure. Had a blast. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves rather for the party or not. I wish I could remember the lady who waited on us. She was awesome. So fast with our drinks definitely made sure to keep coming around. Couldn't had a better time. Glad we came out. Will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time here and I thought the food was pretty good. Popped over after visiting the driving range across the street, and was super surprised by how many deals there were. I'll definitely be adding this to my rotation for a solid happy hour or quick bite out. read more

The wings were really good and so were the fries. We also got two different drinks and they were perfect. I wish the bar had more TVs in there because it's a sports bar but overall it was a great atmosphere with good service! read more

Extremely racist against white people here. Do not go. Came in, sat down, they waited on every other non-white table. But, not my "white" table. Garbage. read more

Overall really good experience! The food was good and the drinks were delicious. I'm a bit of an introvert at times so the ambiance was a little much at times (not the place for a chill/quiet night out) but since we were there trying to have a good time celebrating a birthday, it was a fitting environment for the occasion! Even with the size of the crowd the service was timely and efficient as well. Would definitely recommend and am very likely to come back if in the area again. read more

The Thirsty Turtle - Flight - Sports Bars Near Me - Antioch, Tennessee

As I sit here finishing up my last blue vodka (whatever it is) mini finish bowl I have to say if I could give this busted place zero stars than I would. ZERO ZERO ZERO's across the board! Your bartender is trash with a serious attitude, your food is trash with a capital G for Gross and your air made me itchy like there's bed bugs floating around. Hear me out... the drink was lit and that's about it. I had two Everything else was left to be very much desired but hey what can I expect in a venue such as a place like the Thirsty Turtle. Turtles are slow, dry & crusty even when wet and boring a h*ll. I've had better action in that dirty bathroom of theirs than at the bar. Side note I have given this place multiple tries and every time I am left tucked away in my shell craving for more. But then I die. read more

Good service, good food. It was not crowded, but the people there were very nice. It seems to be a friendly place One caution - j if you order the mango half in row, chicken strips, they are on the hot side, but very good. Also, the fries are beyond compare. They were excellent and service was very quick and friendly. read more

Google searched places to grab a quick beer. Walked in and the hostess didn't say a word so I just walked to the bar to grab a seat. Sat at the bar for a good 15 min and no one said a word to me so I just walked out. There were 3-4 people at the bar and a few at a table so it wasn't like they were busy. read more

OMG! I love a good hole in the wall! The food was slamming! Spicy mango habanero sauce was great on everything! Getting it on your wings and shrimp is a must!!! And the pork skins! I thought I was home in Texas for a minute! Drinks were FIRE! Get a screaming orgy! The music was great! Crowd had good energy too! It was supposed to be karaoke night, but the DJ never really called anybody up to sing. That's why I gave this place 4 stars! This was a really fun night tho! read more

I gave my waiter a $100 dollar bill, he never gave me my change ....They called the Police like I did something wrong.....They still owe me $58.80. My 1st & last time there ... read more

Food was good. Although I don't like huge wings. Upon arrival, we were ID'd and pat down. Once inside, we stood there a while being ignored. We were only approached cause she needed something in our area. After five minutes of being watched standing she said it was open seating. Service after that was cool. Very nice waiter. Ambiance was okay. Almost $100 for 10 wings, fries. & 2 alcoholic drinks. Birthday dinner was okay other than that. read more

Ordered pepperoni flatbread. It was not good. Would not order from here again. Most frozen pizzas are better than this.

Amazing wings!! Loved the outside seating area and service was prompt and friendly! Will be back

This place has some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. It is not that the waiters here are horrible. It just looks like they are permanently under staffed. All night, this one waiter was running around trying to service everyone. This place has some very good food specials and drink specials. I was able to order a 64oz pitcher for a very good price. They have a ton of beer on tap. I heard that the cocktails are very strong also. My friends ordered wings, steak, and burgers and they all thought the food was good. It took a long time to get any of the TVs changed to the correct sporting event, get refills, or even get our food. read more

The Thirsty Turtle - Sports Bars Near Me - Antioch, Tennessee

honestly i wish this establishment was better. it's so close to my house and open late, so i've given it many chances. the reviews don't lie. slow service, added gratuity of 20% on every single check is unmentioned as i found out when my ticket was a lot more than expected. and they try to get away with it by just telling you the amount instead of giving a printed receipt. menu is lacking and hasn't changed in years. i've had a thick, undercooked burger; dry, gamy wings; soggy turtle nachos and burnt sliders. i've tried many different things and all are lack-luster and best and downright bad at worst. it's off putting to have your bag searched by armed security, but i understand. what i don't understand is not being greeted at all while employees sit around and chat. beware of going in the daytime as the A/C rarely works and it's super hot. on a weekend night expect to spend over 2 hours here. one star because the drinks are decent and heavily poured. the margarita/beer tower makes for some fun times, and i've had a pretty good frozen rainbow drink as well. go for the drinks, skip the food & pay attention to your receipt for that extra charge. read more

First of all they charge an automatic 18% gratuity and then: 1. Discontinued Turtle bite. 2. Said she had a frozen piña colada and they don't. 3. We ordered a (4) flight of frozen drinks and they only had 3 flavors so she doubled up on the mango (the worst flavor) without asking which one we would like more of. 4. Forgot my glass of water 5. We ordered a sampler platter mild l.. The mild is too hot for to eat and when I told them they said "that is mild sauce. At least the beer is cold and the bathrooms are clean. read more

overall the review here to me can't be that long. Thirsty is a place you can get reasonably priced drinks all day anyway and from 3-7 they have a happy hour. They have a pretty long menu of things you can get but there's certain things I obviously would just not get here. They are nachos, wings, and quesadillas are pretty good and to me on the safe side. I wouldn't venture out until like the seafood section of things or anything that's looking to be a lot more expensive. The waitress I had was really nice and they usually always are the couple of times I've been here other than that it's a cool spot to go just to drink and eat. read more

Prices were too steep for my drink of preference. The tables weren't clean. Staff members were friendly"ish", and inattentive. This isn't my type of spot at all, I prefer my waitresses to have on full regular bottoms, versus biker shorts. I also prefer not to have my waitress stop in from of my table and twerk because she likes the song the DJ is playing. It was just too much for my cup of tea. To each their own though. If you're looking for a live DJ, a karaoke stage, patio seating, and a space where you can drink and twerk all night, this may be the spot for you! read more

The food and atmosphere was good....but trying to get a table was horrible and felt discriminated against on a certain side...one side was Spanish and the other side was Black and that alone wasn't sitting right in my spirit...sat at the bar(Spanish side) and that's where I felt the discomfort and discrimination read more

We were there from Ohio. The only complaint was the woman we saw upon arrival at the front desk. She was not very friendly. Claudia was a fantastic server and immediately fixed the kitchen's mistake on my husband's meal. When my husband went to put a tip on our payment, she quickly pointed out that an 18% tip was automatically added. She seemed surprised when we acknowledged we were aware but she deserved more, saying she didn't want anyone to think she was stealing. The food was good, and I was able to try a cocktail I had never heard of before. Very comfortable experience. read more

If you have lived in Antioch for any bit of time whether it is one day or twenty years, you know about The Thirsty Turtle. This place is one of my favorite Antioch stops. The food is always good, sometimes I have wings, sometimes I have a side salad, sometimes I have nachos with shrimp and chicken and sometimes I even have tacos. This particular time I tried something new, the fried pickles. They. were. amazing. I personally do not drink the large drinks they sell in mason jars, fish bowls and more but there are a variety of mixed drinks that are good and strong for you to try. If you are wanting to watch sports, eat good bar food, have a ton of drink options this is the place for you. I have two favorite waitresses, they usually work the patio and right side of the building on the weekends. I am always treated well, my order is always right and I never have to ask for anything because my waitress is always on top of it. Sometimes they have a DJ and even Karaoke but whatever your vibe, they probably have it. read more

My friend and family enjoyed! the fish taco and wings it was so delicious. I order it to go the atmosphere seems to be great! waiting on my order. A nice sports bar setup to hang out at. Thanks! The Thirsty Turtle read more

Wrong dressing and 0 silverware. Giving them 2 stars in case my salad is good but I wouldn't know since I have 0 silverware

Had my last dinner with my ex fiancé here. He ended up and getting a girl pregnant and married her to avoid child support fees within four months of our breakup, but the tacos were fire would recommend read more

A friend and I visited this bar on Sat afternoon to have some food and drink while watching the TN/AL game. Food was overpriced, but happy hour drinks were reasonably priced. We had decided that it was a good place to come and watch a game, as they had ample TVs. Oh, but when we received the bill, our minds were changed in an instant. They automatically add an 18% gratuity to your bill! I have never faced a situation whereby a small party (2) had an automatic tip added. It is totally unethical to do that without making that policy clear upfront. I believe they think lots of people won't notice, and they will add another tip! As this should have been disclosed from the start, we won't be returning. That's a bad way to treat a new customer! read more

Do not waste your time or your hard earned money here. The service is poor, the liquor is cheap, the food is subpar at best, and you'll end up with mystery charges on your check every time. Management is awful. It's an overall bottom-shelf experience. read more

Awesome place to be,good staffs and powerful service, the owner is a perfect gentleman as well as the staffs

No pictures today....forgot. ‍ My sister came in for a visit and arrived late so we looked for place to eat and this was it. We both ordered TT Burgers and fries along with a water and tea. For our dessert we had a Flirtini which was really good. The only thing I was surprised at was the total of our Bill's for our meals!! The price is actually $$$ but the food was good. Love the clientele and our server was fun but only drawback was a little louder than I'd like. Conversation was hard to have inside so we took out food outside and enjoyed the rest of our meal and conversation. read more

The Thirsty Turtle - Maria and Andrea - Sports Bars Near Me - Antioch, Tennessee

First of all I didn't like how I just open the door to the business and there's a security officer right in front of the door and has soon I get in he pushes me out and grabs my bag. To try and check it. There already a Bad sign nice you walk in they check your bag and they also pat you down. Once patted down they let you in. Then there's no sign weather to wait to be seated or just have a seat yourself. I turn around and ask the security officer he tells me just just ask for somebody. So I didn't know who was a server or worked here. I stood there and waited. A lady looks at me dead in my face and they way she is hanging out at the bar area with another customer I didn't know if she worked here or was a customer. After standing for 5 mins I just seated myself. Once seated the same lady who looked at me which happens to be a server comers over and smiles and bring a few menus over my fiends and I. This review is based off the horrible customer service. Food not all that either. read more

Seriously don't waste your money. food was ok, nothing special. Service was very basic. But they charge 18% gratunity! we were a party of three, with simple meals(2 sliders, 3 tacos, 6 chicken strips and just sodas to drink). It all cost over $70. I a learned my lesson- never again! read more

We've ordered from Uber Eats several times and eaten there in person. The food and atmosphere are always great!

This establishment is TERRIBLE! Please do not waste you money or time. The food took over a hour and was cold. it's overpriced for no reason. Zero customer service. I witnessed sercurity selling drugs in the bathroom. My tenders had had hair in it. Not too mention they stole my tip. Added 10 extra dollar. Fighting that dispute as i type. DO NOT GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. It's disgusting. read more

They charge 18% gratuity!!! AND DONT TELL YOU BEFOREHAND,our waitress was even hesitant to give us our reciept back. The service wasnt good at all, she didnt ask us if we want a appetizer, just took the drinks first, then when we tried to order our appetizer , she told us they were out of avacodos, so we had to sit there for another 5 minutes looking over the menu again, felt very rushed. Definetly did not deserve the 18$ tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
