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

Food was excellent. Our son ate his wing along with everyone else's. I didn't get our servers name. It was very busy at lunch and she was great 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

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

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

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

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

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

Came here for lunch!! It was pretty empty for a Saturday which was surprising. I love the wait staff, they were all so welcoming and you can tell they all really care for one another. Our waitress was also very honest with what to order, which I really appreciated. I ordered the grouper blackened and asked for the mango salsa that comes on their tacos and it paired really well together!! the sweet potato mash was so good! Broccoli was good as well. read more

Husbands fav place for chicken wings in Juno thought we would try this one sauce it is closer. There are differences Juno serves Amstel light, tuna appetizer with wasabi not some wet concoction. Why any restaurant serves fish with out lemon I'll never know. Had to ask twice for that. Honey got wings, great as usual, clam chowder yummy as well. My tuna appetizer was really good till I got half through then all grizzled. Had to ask for water twice, and our 2nd drink order was forgotten. Place very busy with families, once it cleared out the floor was trashed with stuff all over and 5 employees just hanging out by the hostess stand. Not one said bye, thank U or have a good day,too busy I guess ?? Bathroom ,woman's was clean Forgot the pics of food. 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

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

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

While visiting my MIL at The Reef Club, we decided to order carryout from Thirsty Turtle. Hadn't been there for a long time. The foods still great. Hubby was moaning over the wings, Mom had her burger smeared all over her grinning face, and I LOVED the coconut shrimp salad! In case you haven't been there for a while, carryout pickup is from Thirsty Turtle Express on the opposite side of the building. It's still in the same plaza and the staff is friendly. 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

Group of seven friends recently meet for dinner here. Sat outside, nice atmosphere. Food was mostly good. Not as good as past visits. Server Jeff must had been having an off night. Service was poor. read more

Beast chicken wings ever and if you want to argue I am more than happy to oblige. The mild wings have ruined me and I am happy to say that. And honestly all chicken wings I have are getting compared to the thirsty turtle wings because they are that good. read more

Nice little place. Had the fish tacos with blackened grouper. Nachos and wings pretty average but fish super fresh and tasty. Great place to stop after a round of golf. Enjoy. read more

Truly the BEST place for wings. I was finally in the area and had to have their famous wings. Service was great but food was even better. If you want authentic, delicious, hearty wings then this is the place! read more

We love to eat here. Their food is very good, and (usually) less expensive than other local restaurants. Quick service and friendly servers!

Every single time I have been here it's been a pleasure and a staple. I've been coming here with my parents since I was a kid and could remember and now I come nonstop with my husband too. The wings are hands down the best in town. The french fries are great, burgers the fish. I will keep coming here for years to come. read more

The staff was cheerful and helpful, the food was fantastic, and the price was very reasonable. I had the Apache Burger (~$12), chili, jalapeno, and cheddar. Was awesome and they accommodated me with a bit of extra chili on side for my fries. My dad had the French onion soup and a BLT and both looked great as well. Everything was perfect about this little spot. read more

Service poor waitress put in the wrong price and didn't take responsibility for her mistake. The food was nothing to write home about. Unfortunately, I have eaten at the Kee Grill, Bimini twist, the Keylime house, so I know good fish, and this was mediocre at best. Tables greasy windows inside dirty I should've just walked out as soon as I came in. read more

Food is just okay, just basic Bar quality food, No Wow Factor. Service is okay but the inside of this place is Horrible! Sorry but this place reminds me of an illegal After Hours Bar. Black walls poor lighting so dark you can't see what your eating. There is an outdoor seating area if available I recommend sitting there. Like most places they ask you how you like your burger cooked but it always comes out the same way Well Done. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night and sat outdoors. Overall I had a positive experience. The atmosphere is that if. Typical bar with sports broadcasting on TV and was as expected. There was a good crowd for a Wednesday just hanging out. I ordered the clam chowder soup to start and the sea scallops grilled as my entree with broccoli and coleslaw for sides. The clam chowder was a bit salty for my taste and is what brought me to give it 4 stars. The sea scallops grill in the white wine sauce were amazing! Some of the best most flavorful scallops I've had. The steamed broccoli was standard as expected. The coleslaw had a weird after taste, like it was previously frozen, so I didn't enjoy that one as much. The service was good, server was attentive and kept my water full at all times. Friendly and helpful, no negative about the service. read more

I generally write medium to long reviews but when it comes to Thirsty Turtle it does not take many words to point out that they have some of THE BEST chicken wings in Palm Beach County. Fried to perfection, flavoral and consistent every time. If you have not tried their wings you are truly missing out. This is definitely a dive bar vibe and almost always packed with very little parking so plan accordingly. read more

The most amazing spinach artichoke dip I've ever had for starters!! The conch appetizers, especially the cracked conch are amazing. This is a gem for locals as the prices, including happy hour are just right. The oysters are amazing too! The service has always been stellar and I've never had a bad experience or even a slow one here. Tiffany is an amazing server /bartender- ask for her also! To the person in their review who complained about "tipping" because of the prices - you proved that everyone should work at least once in their life in the food service industry - and see how this is quite the norm - gratuity is how servers, bartenders etc survive (I was one myself during college). I honestly can't imagine or understand how anyone could write anything less than 5 stars based on my dining experiences here and the other location. read more

This place is so relaxing! The outside bar with Jill is the best. She is so friendly and sweet! Definitely will be back!

Wonderful first visit to Thirsty Turtle! We were seated immediately. Our server was perfect-the ideal balance of attentive and on top of everything while not being too much. The food came out quickly and accurately. All meals were delicious! Highly recommend the grilled chicken sandwich. This place is the quintessential home town family friendly sports pub. Definitely check it out! read more

Absolutely love thirsty turtle. A true bar style restaurant with live music on the weekends. Love there chili, chicken stinger wrap (our go to), Mac n cheese, salads, burgers and really any app! We have been coming here with our family for years because they have super comfy large booths and a dim chill environment. Everyone always has a great time. Thirsty turtle is super consistent and always hits the spot! If you're a Yankees fan they have some awesome memorabilia around on the walls. Great service/everyone is always in a good mood. read more

I haven't been here in a very long time. I always though of it as a fried food kind of place and have changed my lifestyle a bit looking for healthier options. Today's lunch was great! Jerk grouper with 2 sides....I picked 2 sides of broccoli. The fish was cooked perfect and the broccoli was fresh and cooked al dente. My husband had a haddock rueben and we shared some conch fritters. The rueben was good. Our biggest disappointment was the lack of conch in the fritters. While they had a great flavor we could only locate a few pieces of conch in the entire batch. They still serve lots of fried options and are highly regarded for their chicken wings. read more

So we decided to go here for the second time after months, even though we were not impressed the first time, but you know when you are in a rush and hungry, you kinda have no choice.Anyway, I ordered a medium-rare burger and ended up getting a well done. We asked for a side salad that came after asking for it for the second time. The waiter all the time he was chatting with us, he was looking in the opposite direction, at the beginning we thought he is you know, making the conversation interesting, but we had 4-5 chats and he barely looked at us, even when he did not understood what we were talking about, he bent down to be able to hear better, but still with his face facing the other side, really?!It was not busy, so you would expect better service and more attention to detail.Also, we never saw restaurants CHARGING you fee for paying with your card, never anywhere we ate. And we remember that first time we ate here, you had no fee for such a thing, that's just a ridiculous SCAM, and a bad image for your business, you can't tell me how to pay my bill as long as I am paying it.I guess we are not planning to go back for the 3th time. read more

The star is for the waitress, she was good. They allow smoking in the outdoor seating area which we were unaware of until after we ordered our food and were stuck sitting with cigarette smoke all around us. Food was not great, shrimp scampi had zero flavor, nachos were stale and they give you about 1 tbsp of salsa with them. They came out lukewarm with half the cheese not melted. The potatoes that came with the fried shrimp dinner weren't cooked all the way. The grouper was good but pricey. There was a $7 credit card service fee on the bill for paying with a credit card, no one disclosed this prior to us paying. Seems a bit high read more

I'm frequently thirsty, for adult libations, and well, I've passed the Thirsty Turtle too many times and never stopped. Finally having a few hours to myself and being right down the street, I headed over to the TT to see what the story was. Small tiki seating area out back- it was nice but a bit too humid for me to be sitting outside so I headed in and grabbed a spot at the bar, as I usually do. The bar is a bit of a misnomer as there is what resembles a bar but it is mostly there to separate the kitchen from the rest of the seating area - there is a proper bar with a bartender set into a "booth" behind the bar where you sit - strange but it works. The server working the bar takes your drink order, turns around and the bartender in the booth makes the drink. A little cumbersome I guess, but it works for them. I started with smoked fish dip as I usually do and it was a decent sized serving. While I started on that, I decided to also try the wings, because that seems to be the main attraction. I ordered the wings and a nacho platter just to get a good cross section. Nachos came out first and they were just ok; nothing to crow about - the wings fared better. Everyone seems to rave about the wings and they were fine and all but I would not go the extra mile and say they were the best wings I ever had. Good, yes. Best ever? That's a bit of a stretch. The server working the bar was super sweet and she made just the right amount of small talk. Bar area was clean and in good condition. Not a bad place and I would give them another whirl if in the area. Parking lot available. read more
