This place is a chaotic mess. I wanted to try a new place for a date night and what a disappointment. Our server was more attentive to everyone walking in than our table. There was no greetings, no welcome and definitely, no my name is ... I wanted to try the hibiscus basil lemonade and I was told they were out but I can order an agua fresca. Well, if I wanted an agua fresca I would have order that. When the food finally arrived, 45 mins later, my food was warm and dry. It was sitting under the lamp for quite sometime. My husband food was cold and incorrect. At this point we just wanted to leave. Never again! I can say that their water was good and I loved their napkins. I am sure if the food was served fresh, our experience would have been a whole lot better. read more

Thirsty Lion - Dry couscous ... terrible - American Near Me - Euless, Texas

This is not my typical review because I can't actually review the food. This will be about the service or rather the lack of service. The weather was beautiful yesterday so we (3 adults and my 2-year-old grandson) decided to find a patio. We had just eaten at The Reserve (just across the way from The Thirsty Lion) the night before so we decided to go to The Thirsty Lion. Of note, my sister and I both spent years in food service as servers and managers. We get it. When things are busy, we completely understand and are patient and helpful. But we also see the flip side. We got there at 3:00. There were multiple tables open outside, but the non-high-tops were dirty, except for one which I will get to in a minute. Being with a 2-year-old, we needed a normal height table. We asked about a table outside and the hostess said there wasn't anything available. I looked out the window and said it looks like there are - they just need to be cleaned. She was clearly annoyed. About that time, someone went outside and picked up a few glasses from one of the tables so she said she would sit us out there when it was clean. 10 minutes later, I kid you not, nothing else has happened. She has disappeared and the tables are still dirty. She comes back to the front and another man with a toddler came in. He asked to sit at a normal height table outside and she said they were dirty. He asked about the fire table and she said sure. Off they go to sit outside. We didn't know that was an option but it would have been nice to offer it. She doesn't come back immediately but shows up about 5 minutes later. I ask about the progress and she says they are getting the tables clean. Now, I can see the patio from the front door and there is zero sense of urgency. I ask if they even know someone is waiting. She again seems annoyed and says there are a lot of tables to clean. Granted, but you have customers waiting for one of them. 10 more minutes pass. During this time, a manager walks up to the hostess and asks what we are doing. Again, no sense of urgency. We finally get seated more than 25 minutes after we arrive. Okay. Then we wait. No server. The people at the tables all around us have servers. 8 minutes pass and the hostess wanders out. I ask if there is a server for the table and she asks who sat us there. Really? A few minutes later and a waiter comes by and says he will be with us in a few minutes. At this point, we have been there 40 minutes. Seems ridiculous, right? We agree. We decide to leave and go back to The Reserve. A different manager sees us getting up to walk out and comes to figure out what is happening. By then, we were just over it. We went to The Reserve, got seated at the big top table outside (even though they normally hold it for big parties but they took pity on us when we told them what just happened) and had incredible service. We wanted to try it and I think we were incredibly patient. (That patience was only possible because my grandson was playing outside with my husband although my husband said my grandson was so hungry he ate dirt. :) )The menu looked good and the reviews seem good so we were interested but the consistent service failures by pretty much everyone we encountered when they were not busy is pretty tough to overcome. read more

Nice atmosphere, nice happy hour menu and drinks... really enjoyed myself. Only issue and a small one is the bartender...bald guy with black beard and tattoos on his arms. Has the personality of a rock. But the other bartending was great...so no big deal. (Never understand someone in the service business expecting a tip, but feels so entitled they don't need to earn it). Oh well ...great evening and enjoy my time read more

I met family here for brunch on a Saturday morning. We decided to sit on the front patio with our dog and enjoy lunch. The service was great, however the food is another story. To start, I tried the siracha and wasabi Bloody Mary. Warning: the wasabi is not mixed in the drink like the siracha so be careful not to get a straw full of wasabi like me. All around the drinks were pricey but taste great. For food I tried the Spanish chilaquiles and breakfast burrito. The chilaquiles is what I usually order, it's packed with flavor and filling. I asked for egg over easy but it was very over cooked, the chorizo was missing from the dish, and the ingredients included in the breakfast burrito were diced so fine and used sparingly. (Mainly eggs) read more

Had brunch here today and seriously have not had anything here that is not just great. The blood orange mimosa was lovely, and the avocado toast was great but damn the French toast is to die for. I think I saw God!!! You have to try this place for brunch, for dinner but definitely for their "social" hours. Yummyyyyyy read more

I really wasn't hungry or thirsty when I decided to stop in, but that soon changed. I was pleasantly surprised to see a line of cars and a small line of patrons at the door, however, since I was a party of one, was able to immediately sit at the bar and enjoy my night. I truly didn't know what to expect, however, the pub was busy and the bartenders were extremely busy. At the table, there was a preset setting along with the upcoming St Patrick's day 'Seasonal Specials', so I decided on a couple of starters and be done for the night. It seemed like there weren't any bar backs(since things just opened here in Texas, but the bartenders did an amazing job keeping up with the orders from the restaurant as well from the people around the bar. I decided it was now time to order some food to supply my beverage, so I ordered the 'Traditional Scotch Eggs' and the 'Spicy Tuna Roll'. I was NOT disappointed in either. Living in Minneapolis and traveling to London often, I'm use to Britts Pub scotch eggs as well as ones from London. The sausage wrap was slightly different, but the eggs were perfect. Only change I would make....maybe it's because of what I'm use to, is the Dijon mustard they chose for the side. (Even though it was still delicious) As for the Spicy Tuna Roll, I knew I was including a different flare combining these two starters, however, the roll didn't disappoint either. The wasabi was on point, the rolls were great, and the tuna was perfect. I would definitely like to come back again and enjoy other food available. read more

Dirty bar, no interest by anyone to clean it. No engagement or ownership. Just doing time.

We ordered take out last night through Grub Hub. The food was cold, which may say more about Grub Hub than Thirsty Lion, but was still annoying considering the delivery charge, service charge, and tip paid. That's a pretty big upcharge for cold, limp fries and a room temperature burger. I wish I'd just driven down there and picked it up myself. Also, the seared ahi salad was good but TINY! For $18 I expected something a little more substantial. I was glad we were at home so I could eat a bowl of cereal after the meal. I don't consider myself to be a big eater necessarily but this wouldn't have been enough food for one of my small children! I can still see myself going there again with a girlfriend for HH sometime, but we definitely won't be ordering take out. read more

We had another fantastic meal at Thirsty Lion. We love the weekend brunch here (Sat and Sun till 3pm). The patio is a great place to enjoy a long meal with friends. It overlooks a little green area with fountains. Food and service were spot on. And again, clean facilities and restrooms that help ensure the entire experience was pleasant. read more

We dined at the Thirsty Lion in Euless. The place is very large and has many tables. My family and I attended on Friday night for St. Patties day Irish food. The place was very well decorated and festive! I was concerned when we first arrived because the restaurant was fairly empty, but I believe it's simply because the restaurant is so large with numerous tables. Happily the food - corned beef and cabbage- was amazing! And my daughter loved her Mac n Cheese off the kids meal. The server was attentive and professional. The staff took a picture of us with the Irish photo opt on the way out. Great Experience! read more

We discovered this place last week. We were looking for someplace near dfw after a day of travel. Today was our second visit in a week. The food is amazing. We've tried three burgers and the pad Thai. The beer selection is sound Both times we sat in the patio and enjoyed the vibe. And our server Ana was great. read more

Thirsty Lion is tucked back a bit in the new Euless shopping area, near the Total Wine. The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside, and the patio is great. I met up with a girlfriend for an early dinner and to check out their happy hour. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and just the right amount of attention. On to the food. It LOOKS really good. Everything that was brought out made you go "ooh". Unfortunately, the flavors are just mediocre. I had a blood orange margarita that tasted just like juice. It was pretty, and I like juice, but a margarita should also taste like tequila. The queso comes out in cast iron, but it wasn't hot. It didn't get finished. The green chili chicken sandwich was also very pretty, but just ok. All these "gastro pubs" keep popping up, with nice decor and mediocre food. Without the mediocre price. I have heard they do well at brunch, and I am open to trying it again. read more

The food was good for sure, customer service was awful the waiter thought that I wasn't going to tip for whatever reason and gave me a threatening message before he gave me the bill, went on to say if I don't tip please don't ever come back. read more

Very nice ambiance inside--industrial looking, lots of booths, spacious, bar in center. I sat on the porch outside, with my 2 friends, as the high ceilings make restaurants rather loud at times. The outside temp was in the 90s but the porch had ceiling fans and misters to keep customers cool. I had the cheeseburger. Burger was around 4 oz and cooked as I requested. The bun was not fresh, which deflated the burger experience. Fries were good, but smaller portion. My friend and I liked the smaller portion but it may put bigger eaters off. Friend 1 had the spicy fried chicken, which she said was good but the batter was unusually thick. Friend 1 said cole slaw was very good. 2nd friend had Cobb salad. She did not remark on whether it was good--however, Friend 1 and I noticed the salad was small for the price paid, and the chicken portion of the salad looked skimpy and anemic. Drinks--we did not order drinks. Water came in a great old fashioned glass milk bottle (no ice) which we used to fill our cups. Ice would have made the water a better experience, but I understand that the expectation of ice is an American thing. Price: $19-20 with tip. Would I go back? Not sure. It's pretty close to Lazy Dog, which I love, so I don't know why I would pick Thirsty Lion over Lazy Dog. read more

Thirsty Lion has become a family favorite for our family! We love how close it is to us and it's open later than the other restaurants in the new shopping center area, also keeping the area pretty lively. The brunch menu is awesome and so is dinner! Their beer and wine selection is great! So many craft beers on tap! Service has always been top notch and it's mostly what keeps us going back! read more

New adventures I stumble on. Such a sexy ambience with the darkness colors an red to give it a pop flavor. Great for happy hour reasonable prices an great portions. My Dishes: App: Spicey Fried Chicken Silders are a must it can be a meal in itself. Just the right heat with the slaw to give it a sweet taste but nothing overwhelming. Tuscany Romero Chicken w/ Buerre Blanc sauce just melts your taste buds along with the Garlic Parma Couscous. Drink: Blood Orange Rita. Happy House 3-7 an reverse 930-11 Bunch Saturday-Sunday 11-2 Great date nite watching the water fountains or snuggle in thier huge booths. read more

Went for late lunch after 2 on sat. Not crowded about 30%full. Took 15 min to get asked if we wanted a drink then another 10 to get them. Took another very long time to order food. Of course that took at least 20 mins. We almost fell asleep waiting for the check. Btw. The food was ok, nothing great and for sure not worth the wait. On top of that they've raised prices so much they're crazy. $14 for a pretzel?!! Been there many times but I don't see them in my dining future. read more

I'm going to start this off by saying I am a Miami girl through and through. My first time in Texas, I came here for dinner and was not disappointed. I had the a burger the first time and was blown away. Then next day I kissed my flight home and stayed in the hotel across the street for another night. That time I had the steak. That steak made me consider uprooting my whole life to be near it. It's that good. I wish I had a picture but I plan on going back again and will update this with pictures at that time. The ambiance is incredible.The people behind the bar are also amazing. I haven't been to many places here in Dallas yet but it's already my favorite. I had that steak a few months ago and I still talk about it to this day. You HAVE to try it! read more

Yummy with a ride range of options. This became a favorite for us for the time we were in the area. Consistently great food and quick and friendly service. read more

We went as a family with a baby in a stroller so our review is based on this place as a family restaurant. In that regard I liked the place because they have plenty of space to move around with a baby in a stroller and also a clean family restroom . As a restaurant/ Gastropub/ sports bar this place has a lot going for it : * TVs, patio, happy hour, brunch menu * 4 kinda Bloody Mary s for brunch !!!? * the food is really good . We ordered the brunch menu, and whatever we got hit the spot. See some drool worthy pictures. Overall great spot, I would visit again ! read more

The restaurant is is a very nice shopping area close to Colleyville. The food was good, drinks were great and our server was nice. We had an unusual delay in being seated, even though we had a reservation, which is why I Am giving them 4 stars instead of 5. Will definitely go back. read more

Thirsty Lion Gastropub is a pretty nice restaurant. I have been here twice and have enjoyed the appetizer, food, dessert, and cocktails that I have ordered from here. My favorite is the spicy fried chicken. The Artichoke spinach dip is really good too. And their cocktails were small but tasted good. The WHISKEY APPLE CRUMBLE amazing. This restaurant has many options to choose from and look forward to try something different from their menu. read more

Update 02/14/20 - We sat at the bar again. No bar specials since it was Valentine's Day. No problem since we wanted to try out some of the regular menu. We had the Scotch Egg. Very good. Wish it had more sausage wrapped around the egg. You could not taste the sausage. Just egg and breading. The mustard dipping sauce was awesome with it. We split the Fish & Chips. Nice that they split it for us. The slaw was great. Loved the Cod and the fries were great too. Will definitely be back. read more

Thirsty Lion - $25 champagne special - American Near Me - Euless, Texas

Went here for lunch with friends, and while the food and drinks were fine, the entire experience was ruined by the terrible attitude of the server. From the moment she took our drink order to the time we paid, she was rude and unpleasant. And when I asked for a copy of my receipt, she said ok, but never returned to the table, forcing me to have to go to the hostess after about 10 mins to ask for a copy of my receipt. Which a completely different person brought out. As someone just visiting the area, I wouldn't recommend this establishment nor will I go back. read more

Very good ambiance and food here. Think upscale sports bar. They have plenty of TVs for Sports, which was a plus for us, but it is a classy place. Seating outside also , they even had a fire pit on the patio. The searing is mostly high bar chairs but comfortable. The only minus the noise level, music is too loud for this type of place . Food was great - I had the Salmon, my wife tried the pork belly tacos, two thumbs up. Big drink selection of spirits, craft beers, they even made a drink for my wife that wasn't on the menu. A lot of the negative reviews were about slow service, our waitress Brittany was good , attentive and knowledgeable of the menu, no complaints. This was New Years Eve and we had reservations at 6:15 so it wasn't crowded yet , I'd recommend reservations as it was packed when left. read more

Stopped in for a late night bite and were pleased that the kitchen was still open. This was my second visit to a Thirsty Lion and I was impressed yet again. This is a new shopping, dining, entertainment complex and we learned this is just the second location of this restaurant. The vibe is cool and the majority of tables are bar height with lots of larger tables, making it great for groups. On this visit I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with fries. The fries were perfect! Perfectly crispy and tasty. The sandwich was equally delicious. The slightly spicy, fried but juicy chicken breast was complemented by the slaw. Thinking back, I think I ordered the same dish on the visit to the Las Colinas location! Randi at the bar took great care of us! I think they have a winner with this combo of food, service and atmosphere, so here's hoping more locations open soon! read more

A really good place in a really good spot. It's big and spread out so it doesn't really feel crowded when it's full of people. It's not a sports bar but they do have several large screens. They have a wide variety of food and drink offerings, all of which are above average. We were greeted with a friendly smile from Danielle who seated us as soon as we walked in. The rest of the staff is friendly and attentive. read more

food is interesting, the outdoor seating is excellent. Easy access to parking on street or at parking garage just across the street

This place has the best lemonaid in the entire world. I love their french fries but no comparison to McDonalds. Inappropriate music videos play the whole time so not great for children, which I am. The Fried Chicken Mac n' Cheese is to die for. Brunch menu is extravagant. Not so much for the little ones though. I like turtles. read more

Went here and had a drink (tequila on the rocks), received the bill and was charged 3 extra dollars for the ice because I got it "as a drink". When I questioned the extra charge I was told that it's their policy. I would skip this place especially at this location since there is a Lazy Dog next door and they do not up charge "ice". read more

Today was our first time here and all five of us were happy with our meals and the service. Eric greeted us at the door and seated us and was also our server. Eric gets 5 stars! It was not busy at 3 pm and we were seated immediately. The outside seating was as full as inside due to nice weather. Also, patio is dog friendly. My ahi tuna salad was delicious! The tuna was seared perfectly - raw in middle with a spicy crust. The salad was served with a dressing and a thick sweet "jam" on the side. The tuna was so spicy and peppery with a few twists of the pepper grinder I didn't even need the dressing just dipped the tuna in the sweet "jam" to balance the spice. The beer braised shrimp was also really good. My parents shared the shrimp, and the fish and chips. They split both orders and all 4 plates looked like a full order. My sister had the cobb salad with chicken and niece had sliders. They pretty much cleaned their plates. Everyone liked the fries. One star off for the wine list. I asked for a sample which was bad . We decided on the Malbec and neither of us liked it. I had the 5 oz and didn't even drink 1/2. I am looking forward to going back and trying the pork belly tacos. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants! I come here often with my fiancé and friends; I am always happy with what I get. They have such a large variety of things to choose from on their menu. I also like that they change things up sometimes by having seasonal menus. I came here for brunch the other day with my fiancé and we sat on their patio. I ordered the Irish Whisky French toast, which was yummy and crunchy from the corn flakes they added to it. I also got the raspberry mimosa and my fiancé had a spicy Bloody Mary.
