Been coming to the Thirsty Turtle in Juno Beach for at least 2 decades. Things have changed in Jupiter but Thirsty has been a constant since its opening. An excellent variety of food that is done well and servers who want to make your time there a pleasant & fun experience!. Thank you Peyton! The setting is that of a sports bar with many TV's inside & outside to catch a game that again has more than typical bar food. I.e. wings, fries, quesadillas etc.... There are many seafood selections as well as traditional sandwiches & meals. There is something for everyone in my opinion. This particular visit, I had the Seafood Trio with marinara sauce. There was plenty of shrimp, scallops & fish with a nice tomato sauce. My wife had the clam strips which were plentiful and hot & tender when brought to the table. You also get tartare sauce & cocktail sauce with the meal. If visiting or a local, this a great place to try and hang with your favorite adult beverage and visit with family or check out a game. read more

I have been meaning to try this place and I had for the first time for lunch. It was packed, so must be good. I was wrong. I had a shrimp salad, understandably an up charge from chicken to shrimp. The salad was so salty and drenched with dressing. I asked the server if I can add maybe croutons to help with the salt or something. She said, it's a peanut Thai sauce , so it will be salty. Then she asked if I wanted to add more dressing... huh? What? Food and service totally need some revamping. Not sure what others see in it. read more

Well, I thought the food at this place was excellent! This is a bar type setting, much like a Flannigan's but I've never had a meal there like I did here. Our server Jesse was super friendly, helpful and really great. When I told him how great it was he showed me the menu for their other locations and there's a West Palm one closer to us I will definitely go to. I had the special, Panko Fried Mahi Wrap and I kid you not, BEST WRAP EVER! Kick of spicy and so flavorful. And I am not a big fry person but these fries were absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly and so tasty! I loved them! So for food alone, they get my 5 stars. My son had the blacked salmon with broccoli side and sweet potato mash. The sweet potato mash is a bit sweet, just so you know. But they know what they're doing with food here. And a feisty cold glass of Blue Moon, yes please! read more

Like an old-fashioned, Florida bar and restaurant. Famous for their wings. The wing sauce is so good. I go there just to buy that. But yesterday we also had the chicken stingers. Absolutely the best boneless chicken fingers I've ever had. The batter and crust is so thin and crispy. You won't even know it's there. read more

Enjoyed our lunch today, our waitress Tracy was great! First visit for my friend and she ALSO LOVES the New England Clam Chowder! Great easy experience. read more

Stayed nearby and found ourselves at Thirsty Turtle three nights in a row. It's one of several Thirsty Turtle locations, but this one has strong local character and unmistakable Yankees-bar energy. Wings were excellent every visit, French onion soup was a standout, and service issues were handled immediately. Dependable bar food done right. read more

Jeff, our waiter, was one of the best I've encountered in the area. Very personable and attentive. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming with lots of TVs! The menu is filled with familiar non-fussy foods, something for all ages. read more

The french onion soup here is the bomb. The mild chicken wings were juicy and tender. All employees were very nice. Will be returning!

Food was decent. Our server was so rude and had no sense of urgency. I never left a $0 tip for anyone, but never say never. Not coming back because of the service read more

My friend and I wanted to go for lunch in the area. She picked this spot. The menu is varied. There are many options ! I decided to go for the salmon and the side of fries. The salmon was fresh. The calamari was tasty and fresh. A good spot in the area for food. The service was great. Prices are decent . More of a casual vibe. read more

Thirsty turtle just did a great little renovation which maintained the always cozy environment. They have a great little patio out back. They have the best chicken wings in the area and it's not even close. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly! Come hungry the portions are all huge! read more

Good food. Had a burger. Great Sangria - and it is huge! Nice ambiance. This place is a staple.

First day we brought our fish they were quick and efficient- fish was cooked great service was fast and friendly. Came back two days later place was not as busy service was still friendly- food took a really long time- was cooked well - other tables that were seated after us got their food before us. Side note- they charge extra for using a credit card. read more

My wife and I were staying across the street and decided to give The Turtle a try since it's so close to our hotel. We sat in the bar area which we usually do, and we were waited on quickly by Madison. She was very attentive during our visit and made sure we had everything we needed. Jen ordered the beer battered shrimp and I ordered the Chicken Stinger sandwich. The food was good, so no complaints there. We ordered the Peanut Butter pie for dessert and it was good as well. The only reason for the 4 is the reason we sit at the bar is to watch sports on the TV's. At the Turtle, the bar area is very weird how it is set up. We sat in front of the cooks making the food. It seemed all the TV's were back in the restaurant area. We have never really seen this before. All in all a good experience. read more

We have been to the thirsty turtle many times I don't know why I haven't written a review by now. One of the things that I truly love on the menu is the cracked conch. The con is pounded out perfectly and fried perfection. Somehow I just love it. My wife likes the nachos with chicken and jalapeños on the side of course. She orders the jalapeños for me because she knows that I'm gonna eat a few of those nachos and I want a jalapeño on each one, although she can't stand them. we love to be there for happy hour because they have some pretty good drink specials. I usually just get a draft beer like Coors light. It's definitely a bar food kind of place but it suits us just fine. I'm sure we'll end up there soon, see you at the bar read more

My dining mate, who joined me for lunch here, works at Duffy's. The fact that he was recommending Thirsty Turtle SeaGrill for lunch said a lot. What we had: FISH 'N CHIPS (4 stars) FIRECRACKER SHRIMP TACOS (5 stars) STINGER WRAP (5 stars) CONCH FRITTERS (5 stars) ICE COLD CORONA y LIME (5 stars) Look at that meal...it's perfect! Factor in the rowdy little lunch-ambiance here; fisherman, cyclists, seafood lovers, beer drinkers and game-watchers, told me I was in the right place. read more

We went back because of waitress Bailey. She gave us Good cocktails and good suggestions. Sat outside, there is some construction work being done that gets loud. Little neck claims and shrimp tacos on the happy hour list very tasty. Will go back read more

Ok it's Friday night and we arrives at hotel for hotel in Juno Beach to kick off our long weekend after a long day at work. Tired and knowing that most restaurants would close at 9 pm, we rushed out to visit a place highly recommended by the front desk clerk at our hotel. This place was the Thirsty Turtle Seagrill, conveniently located off US 1, right across the street from our hotel. Even though the place was quite busy, our waitress Rebecca promptly took care of us and seated us quickly. She greeted us with a warm smile and took the time to explain the restaurant to us, as it was our first visit. Rebecca mentioned that the owner, Bill Watson, stops by once a week to ensure everything runs smoothly. His dedication shows--he now owns seven other Thirsty Turtle Seagrill franchises in different areas. We started our meal with a Guinness and a Stella beer, along with the smoked fish dip and sesame tuna appetizer. Both were absolutely delicious. For our main course, we had the Grouper entrée and an Angus Burger with Provolone, both fresh and tasty. To top things off, we ordered the Key Lime Pie for dessert, which was simply amazing. We also greatly enjoyed the live entertainment they have every Friday night, which added to the fun and lively atmosphere. The service was impeccable, the food was outstanding, and the ambiance was just what we needed to start our weekend on a high note. We highly recommend the Thirsty Turtle Seagrill to anyone visiting Juno Beach! read more

This place was busy but I was able to find a seat at the bar. They have an extensive menu packed with almost anything the stomach desires. I just popped in for a beer and snack after the beach. The front bartender let me sample a couple of drafts in order to make a decision. I ordered a dozen steamed clams $6 at Happy Hour. This was my first time having steamed clams. They were delicious served with drawn butter. The perfect snack before going back to my sister's for dinner. Total bill was $10 and I was happy as a clam. Well maybe not the ones I ate... read more

Great service stopped by unexpectedly cus I was craving wings & they're incredible! 1st time & I was told they're known for their wings. Thumbs up! read more

The two times I've been here we've had a male server who acted inappropriate. It made us uncomfortable. Ladies, go elsewhere to not be bothered. read more

Love the Thirsty Turtle - great atmosphere, lovely staff and tasty food. But so upset the fat fries are gone - they were the best. Don't like the seasoned fries replacing them at all. Otherwise, 5 out of 5 read more

Amazing food, quick and friendly service. Went with some seafood fanatics as well as a few picky eaters and everyone was able to find something they enjoyed. The ambiance was relaxed and casual, definitely a good place to go with a group. Shout out to our amazing servers, Lisa and Jason! read more

Excellent food and service! Comfortable seats, reasonable prices, I plan to go there often! read more

We met up with some friends here. I have a golden retriever that accompanies me everywhere I go, so being dog-friendly was a plus. I like the patio area, it provides a great seating area to enjoy the weather and the food. I ordered a couple of glasses of sweet tea for my wife and I. My wife instantly expressed her displeasure with the flavor of the sweet tea. I went in for the investigation. Yep, it was horrible!! How do you mess up sweet tea in Florida?! Bringing this to the attention of our server, we were told, "No one likes our sweet tea. We don't make it here. It is served with our dispensing guns". One would question the decision-making processes of the management team moving forward if they don't listen to the consumers and continue to make poor choices despite feedback. One other plus was if you have had a long day fishing and want your fresh catch prepared for you, they will do that here. Conch Fritters were good, but the Conch Soup/Stew, not so much. That is unless you were wanting a chili or a minestrone. There was nothing representing this dish as a Conch dish. Artichoke dip, presentation is where it stops. That was cute, nice try. I have the Fish and Chips that turned into Fish and 2 sides. The Jalapeno Mac and cheese and the coleslaw were my sides. Unless you like Cheese Wiz I mean really like Cheese Wiz the Jalapeno Mac was not enjoyable. The Cole Slaw on the other hand was good. The Fish was cooked well but lacked flavor, someone get this chef a spice rack and some marinades. My wife chose the Seafood Pasta with raw undercooked scallops. Yep, you too can get a portion of the rawness if you order this. The linguine was mixed mush and al'dente as though it was mixed with older pasta. Maybe this was just an off night, 3.5 stars might be a stretch of the imagination. Our returned is questionable. read more

Excellent service, fun and affordable for the whole family! We sat at a booth and the staff gave us great recommendations while visiting Florida! read more

I was vegetarian...until I went here! My fiancé and his family go fishing on a charter boat. We brought our fish here and they cooked it up for us! Delicious fish, excellent sides. Highly recommend! I wish the seating area was larger but they make up for it with their cooking. It's the best place in the area to bring your catch. A secret menu item: get their spicy mustard. No I don't know what it's called but just say spicy mustard and the worker knows. It is great on everything. Get the mac and cheese, it has a kick but great flavor. read more

Is there a Manager there? The Haitian cooks talk so loud that everyone can hear them . Trying to talk or listen to the music? Nope. The one with the gray beard the worst. The waitresses seem muffled by the kitcken. Someone should tell them there are inside voices and outside voices. read more

Went for the wings because everyone said they were the best in town. I am not a huge chicken wings person, I would not generally order them over anything else but these wings were very very good. I got the medium sauce and it had great flavor to it. Only problem with the wings were that 17 dollars for 10 wings with not a lot of meat on them is too expensive. I really enjoyed the wings but they came without a side and I still definitely walked out hungry. With that being said I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place a lot and would come back in the future if they played the audio for a big sports game. read more

Great wings. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Will eat there again when I'm in town. Service was quick and waitress was friendly.

best place ever for wings. always crunchy but not dry. no fatty skin to be found which is perfect! never liked drumsticks but these wings are the exception. mild is the go to, medium did not hit as hard. amazing sweet garlicky flavor. and wash it all down with a ice cold root beer burgers aren't great, the appetizers are over priced for the quality, and the cocktails are not yummy. read more

Excellent grouper sandwich ....same good food and service for decades. Reliable, dedicated window for pickup. You won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing wings, great service, local flare. The thirsty turtle is a perennial on our list of best spots we visit every year when we're in town. read more

Well, this was a mediocre experience from start to finish. First, we were incorrectly called in from our wait. Or they gave our initial table away. Something along those lines, it was a little unclear. Then we were seated in a corner table surrounded by TVs, which was not our vibe, as we aren't football watchers. It wouldn't have been an issue if the TVs were not at like... eye level, it was headache inducing (see in photo). We moved to a booth, which was fine. Brady was a great server, so that was a silver lining. The conch chowder and chicken ranch wrap were both serviceable but the stinger salad left a little to be desired. Their buffalo sauce is different... too sweet for my tastes. Overall, I wanted to like them, but the Thirsty Turtle just missed the mark for me. read more

Been here several times over past 6 years. Food is okay. Not my favorite place but it is a favorite to my sister in-law who suggested we go here. Arrived at 4:30 PM on a Sunday. Place wasn't too busy but a fairly decent crowd. Waitress was bubbly and cheerful- so far so good. Drinks arrived quick. Then placed an order for appetizers and our meals. That's when good service ended. For the next 75 minutes, we waited for our food. Appetizers never arrived. The food runner kid brought several items to our table that wasn't food we ordered. We watched him deliver wrong food to several tables before returning to the kitchen with undelivered food. We watched our waitress stumbling over herself, obviously overwhelmed and not competent in entering food orders into the computer. We asked several times where our food was and each time she assured us our meals would be delivered soon. Meals finally arrived at 5:45 PM. The meals (a burger, pasta plate, salad) were delicious. I flagged down the manager to let him know about our experience with slow service and undelivered apps. He can't fix a problem if he doesn't know about it. He said the waitress was new. He then returned to show me that our meals were entered into the computer at 5:30 so getting them at 5:45 is not considered slow service. I reminded him we placed our order at 4:30. The table of 3 guests behind us had the same experience as us. 2 out of the 3 guests had meals delivered but the 3rd guest never got her meal. She complained to the same manager and got the same excuse. I heard the woman call the manager an a$$hole. The manager by the way, wasn't paying attention to the floor. He was busy changing tv channels to sports he wanted to watch. He was leaning against the bar chatting with a man in a cowboy hat all evening while the waitress was in front of him struggling to work the computer. I actually timed her standing in front of the computer for 16 minutes in one stretch, trying to enter a food order. The manager did offer 2 free desserts to my table even though there were 3 of us. When we got our bill, it was tallied up wrong. We were charged for several beers and food we didn't order. The total bill listed as $106.15 but it should have been $54.92. It took the waitress another 15 minutes to unscrew the bill. Believe it or not, we actually tipped the waitress. She was trying but failing horribly. read more

Thirsty turtle is iconic in south Florida for having some of the best wings around. The thing we love about thirsty turtles wings is that they are more of a sweet spicy/Asian style Buffalo. If you have ever been to thirsty turtle you know what I mean it's like a unique Buffalo sauce that can only be found here and it is out of this world! If your in the juno beach area this is a staple known for serving great food for years upon years! 10/10 read more
