Had a great time coming here on Saturday night. When we sat down the server gave us a run down of the menu and told us they were a scratch kitchen. We ordered some cocktails and the calamari appetizer to start. All fantastic. I ordered the Mediterranean bowl and my husband got the French dip with fries. Both were very good. Would love to come back next time we are in Glendale! read more

Honestly, I'm still trying to get use to Arizona service... but decided to go to this place after my friends raved about the crab cake, cocktails, and happy hour deals.... But left disappointed. Our server Anabel made it seem like we were inconveniencing her whether it was asking for round of waters or just to be addressed...unsure if it was a bad day or not, but not really interested in returning. read more

Seated with a group...11 top. Service, drink wise was great. As soon as something was empty a refill was on the way! Food was a touch slow. Restaurant was steady but not packed. There were a number of items that were not available... advertised special beer....wings who runs out of wings??? Settled on a carnitas bowl. Good choice...piled high with goodness. read more

The service was incredibly slow, but the food was very good!!! Great burgers and I will be back for that chicken dish!!! I'd also like to try their happy hour, which is cool because it's 7 days a week. We enjoyed the ambiance and all the different games on the TVs. read more

Cool vibe as soon as you walk in, music playing open bar, open kitchen. I like the atmosphere. The hostess was very blah and most of the waiters looked mad. However the food was great! The spicy cauliflower was so freaking tasty! And both entrees were tasty, we both finished our plates clean. The pad tai portion size was a little small but as Americans we really don't need to stuff ourself. All in all it was very good and we will be back to try more! read more

Club sandwich was good. This place needs to work on the French fries. Irish French toast was on point. Sorry we missed the photos of our adult drinks. They were on point. read more

Every time I land in PHX, I intentionally carve out time to visit Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill--and it never disappoints. The service is consistently strong, and Celina behind the bar absolutely elevates the experience. Her grapefruit basil martini? Next-level. Perfectly balanced, bright, and dangerously easy to order twice. We also ordered the spicy fried chicken sliders, and they remain undefeated. Crispy, flavorful, just the right kick--always so damn good and always worth it. This spot has become a non-negotiable on my travel agenda. Highly recommend. read more

Okay I like this place good atmosphere great service but, I gave it two because I dint eat red meat (intestine issue) but, twice the chicken burger has a plastic feel so I tried it anyway and I had diarrhea after a few hours. Never before no issue till after trying the chicken. 1st time with a party 2. Time date with my husband. 3rd just a salad no diarrhea. 2nd time same strange meat but cooked more. IDK but wont do that again. read more

Stopped in for a couple of drinks and an appetizer. Sat upstairs at the bar. Callan the Bartender was super! Friendly, personable, and made great drinks! read more

I came here because my friend recommended the salad. The girl who worked at the bar was so nice!!! She had black curly hair :) she had a great personality and made me feel seen because I came here by myself. The salad tasted very healthy and tasty. read more

For our last dinner in Glendale, we visited the Thirsty Lion. It was a pleasant surprise that they had a happy hour 7 days a week. I had the Hibiscus Vodka Breeze and Hubby had the Spicy Mango Margarita. Both made well. We shared the Grilled Steak Salad, Grilled Burger Sliders, California Roll, and Ahi Poke Stack. There was plenty of food to share and it tasted fantastic. Jake was our server and took good care of us. Very convenient location and good value for good quality food. They do advertise it as a scratch kitchen. read more

8 minutes before anyone came to post us a water! It's 100+degrees outside, coming to the table for water/ drink request should be immediate. It's not too busy, if it was the hostess could've brought us water. The Hibiscus tea is really good, little sweet while refreshing. The Baja fish tacos; a little bland & the salsa was very bland, but they were a light option for lunch. Ahi poke stack; rice was stale & not enough wasabi, the tuna was not as fresh as i would like. Smoked Turkey club: delicious, great size, the fries were under cooked. read more

Good food , service is terrible. We waiting a long time after being sat for our server to even greet us. We had to remind the host that we were there and still waiting. It was during the day on a Sunday, it wasn't too busy there were a lot of other servers who passed our table but avoided eye contact.. Made from scratch kitchen, good quality. I will try again since the food was good read more

My second visit wasn't as good as my first, but maybe that's because they had just opened. We waited several minutes before anyone came to seat us. Once we ordered, the food came out pretty quickly, but our waitress wasn't very friendly and seemed like she didn't want to be there. I got the fried chicken mac and cheese, which was like eating a bowl of grease. I tried some of the ramen -- it was decent. My sister liked her tacos. Overall, it was fine, but nothing to be too excited about. read more

This is a staple for good food. And the food is pretty consistent at each location. Get the Gogijang fried rice, you will not be disappointed. read more

Let me start by saying the two guys that were serving our table were great and I wish I could remember their names, that said the food was very disappointing because they advertising of the scratch kitchen. As a former restaurant owner that is not scratch. Two ppl at our table ordered orange chicken and both came out totally different. We also ordered another chicken dish which was very under seasoned with no taste. We sent that back and picked over the orange chicken just because we didn't have time to re-order it was pretty packed and the food had already taken kinda long to come. My daughter ordered Fish and chips which she said was good. Food 2/5 Location 5/5 Parking 5/5 Service 3/5 Atmosphere 3/5 Return Factor 0/5 read more

First time here on an event day. While the happy hour wasn't available the service was very good. The fries were amazing and the beers were just as good! Would definitely recommend on happy hour. read more

I Loved It! This was my first trip to Thirsty Lion. For starters it is on the outskirts of Westgate, so plenty of parking is nearby. As you approach, the two-level outdoor patios stand out. Looks fun! We were here for brunch, so the place was not overly crowded. The dining area is spacious, modern and stylish. I found the brunch menu to be upscale and so much more than just pub-grub! If you're visiting for a drink, it's hard to imagine that you couldn't find exactly what you want in the very extensive drink menu. It's all there! They have a very large beer and wine menu, mixed drinks galore and many more spirits! For brunch, they had a nice virgin bar drink with Blood Orange and Ginger. The mixed drink menu is definitely adventurous! For brunch, I had the Corned Beef Hash. It had large chunks of Corned Beef, Onion, Red Pepper, Potato, Swiss Cheese and topped with a perfectly poached egg!. Yum! My wife had the Spanish Chilaquiles. She also enjoyed her meal very much! Our sever was very attentive and after our meal, used a handheld POS machine to allow for quick checkout without taking our card. Bottom line: The Service was Great, Restaurant was Upbeat and the Food was Delicious! I cant wait to return for dinner and a beer! read more

This place was decent. Lots of food options. Indoor or outdoor seating. They make all of their food from scratch. I ordered the spinach and feta cheese omelette with potatoes. It was nice. They also offered mocktails and I decided to try the passion fruit and mango agua Fresca. It was also nice, not too sweet. We had reservations on Sunday around 1pm, but it didn't seem super busy so they might not be necessary. read more

We had a party of 8 and was seated fairly quick. The restaurant was clean (bathrooms included!) and very nice. Our server, Anabel, was really nice and very professional! I loved how she was personable with everyone!!! Our food was delivered as quickly as possible, for a party of 8. It was served hot and tasted very good. I recommend this restaurant to everyone! read more

Annabel (Annie-upstairs) handsdown is the best waitress here at TL. She helped us pre-game and then again post-game. The CARDs stumbled but my buddies in town from Seattle luv'd the SeaHawks for killing today. "They" are celebrating and Annie hooked it up. Low key music sets a vibe. The burgers and fish tacos slapped. Pull up. ~Ric read more

Do not order from here!! Way over priced food. Pictures on menu are very deceiving. I ordered the chicken & Mac dinner for delivery. Once received I open to find 2 chicken nuggets on top of some Mac & Cheese. This was a $24 dollar plate!! I will never order from here again or refer to anyone. Very disappointed I paid for an entree and feel like I received a kids meal! read more

Ended up here on the way to an Arizona Cardinals football game. The food was delicious. Service was great and they made a fantastic drink. Best part was they were affordable definitely a great price point and I definitely would come back next time in Arizona read more

My partner and I were here for Arizona restaurant week. And oh my goodness $33 for all this food!? Full size everything. Definitely high value. The ceviche stack was my favorite. Some times I am disappointed with ceviche but theirs was pretty good, maybe a little more flavor would have been even better. The crème brûlée was also bomb. I'm down to coming here again. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice gastropub vibe. read more

The customer service that Sean gave us very much appreciated. My boyfriend and I stopped here for dinner and we are so happy that we did. Sean was so welcoming, he gave excellent food and drink recommendations! We were not disappointed with anything that we ordered. The scratch kitchen part was so new to us but did not disappoint. Each dish was made with a unique taste. We truly enjoyed everything. Sean is a bartender, but was friendly enough to be our service as well. When we arrived NONE of the servers on the roof wanted to help us. We waited about 10 mins with 3 different servers passing us not one greeted us or offered us a drink. My boyfriend got up and walked to the bar to at least get a drink while we waited and that's when we met Sean. Sean helped us with our drinks and soon became our server. He was kind enough to help us and we're thankful that he did overall because of Sean, we had an amazing experience. read more

Service food location and staff were excellent I would recommend them for a nice indoor and outdoor seating

In town for a conference and decided to grab an early dinner here with the hubs! It's a very big restaurant with plenty of indoor, outdoor, and uper level outdoor open space seating! During the cooler months, it's probably lots of fun with a group of friends! There are TV screens all around and music videos, etc. Service was friendly but a little slow and forgetful. I had a cocktail that was tasty! We ordered their crispy cauliflower but it was not crunchy at all. While it was fantastic flavor, it needed the crunch and needed more cook time! Also had their Korean fried rice that was GREAT! I would definitely recommend that dish! Hubs had the turkey club and said it was just "OK." Overall, this is a cool place to grab a meal and enjoy a beer or cocktail and is right near the Renaissance Hotel! read more

For sure need to step up your bar game. Sat at the bar waiting for our table. No drink order taken at the bar for at least 20 minutes. After finally getting our drinks, our table was ready. Again we ordered drinks at our table and didn't show up for an hour. One drink was still missing so we asked the waitress and was told bar service taking over an hour. This place is losing a ton of money on drinks alone. All of the appetizers we ordered were good. Wanted fried pickles and were told they were out. Then we wanted flatbreads and were told they were also out of all flatbreads. The only main dish we ordered was a turkey club and only took a few bites because the bread tasted like old oil:/ The waitress did take it off of our bill. read more

A very busy place on game days. Ordered the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, Spinach Artichoke Dip and Starter Salad ... everything was really tasty. Walking distance to State Farm Stadium if you are taking in a game. There was a line, but service was quick. It was a nice surprise to have a decent restaurant near the stadium. read more

We were in Glendale for spring training and looking for a place for dinner. The menu looked good here, so we decided to check it out. When we arrived, we were told the wait was one hour and decided to go to the bar to start. BEST DECISION EVER! The absolute best service ever! Marissa and the other bartender (I didn't get her name, but sweet and awesome!) They took such good care of us, we will definitely come back next year. Menu recommendations: the beer battered cheese curds, brownie and creme brûlée deserts. The entrees and drinks we ordered were off a seasonal menu, but I'm sure the regular menu is similarly great. Make sure you get the cheese curds though! Chef's kiss read more

Happy Hour review. TL has a good HH. But even with $2 off, a pint of Coors Light is still over $5. Oh well. We started by sharing the french fries and their calamari. Both were really good but the calamari portion was small. After a bit, we then shared the burger sliders and the Poke. Man was the Poke excellent. And the sliders were large and juicy too. The service was prompt and friendly too. Definitely worth a return visit. read more

Decent first experience at this new Thirsty Lion location. We went on a Monday night expecting it to be busy since it's Westgate, but it was actually really quiet. We were seated immediately but ending up asking to change tables as the booth we were seated at first had an extremely bright spotlight which was annoying. Service was good. Our waitress was friendly. The appetizer came out really quickly but the rest of the food seemed to take a while to come out. No complaints with the food. We started with an order of Crispy Calamari. Then for mains we got the Gastropub Burger and Gochujang BBQ Pork & Kimchi Fried Rice. Both were great. I can see this spot getting really busy during an event night but the upstairs patio looks really nice and they have a ton of space, so I think they'll do well here. Looking forward to coming back at some point. read more
