    Chipotle Honey Tavern Wings
    Josh H.

    Thirsty Turtle Tavern is a restaurant, bar, and pizzeria located on Grape St. in Whitehall. They are open Sun - Thu 11AM - 11PM and Fri - Sat 11AM - 12AM. The menu offers a unique twist on traditional pub dining. While you'll find classic favorites like wings and burgers, the restaurant also features tavern style pizzas and sushi. My friends and I dropped in for the first time last Thursday. Overall, it was a mixed experience. Some of the dishes were well executed and enjoyable, while others fell short of expectations. We started with Chipotle honey tavern wings, Wisconsin cheese curds, and nachos. I also had a crock of French onion soup. The wings were sweet, crispy, and easily the standout. The cheese curds were decent but slightly under-fried. The nachos were awful, with barely any toppings and mostly crushed, bottom of the bag chips. The French onion soup was hot, flavorful, and topped with onion straws. After the appetizers I moved onto the BBQ pulled pork mac & cheese. It's made with a five cheese sauce, macaroni, pulled pork, and seasoned breadcrumbs. While it sounded promising, the flavors didn't quite come together. It was decent, but not something I'd order again. One of my friends ordered the chicken vodka dream, a much better choice than mine. The hand breaded cutlet, homemade vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella, and pesto made for an awesome sandwich. The sweet potato fries were undercooked and bland, but the sandwich more than made up for it. Service was great overall. Tyler was attentive and very helpful with the menu, and the manager checked in a few times, which is always appreciated. The only downside was timing. Appetizers took awhile, and entrees followed almost immediately after. Pickup is available, but there is no delivery. Happy hour is Mon - Fri 3PM - 6PM. Chipotle Honey Tavern Wings - 8.3 Wisconsin Cheese Curds - 7.5 Skillet Nachos - 6.6 French Onion Soup - 8.1 Chicken Vodka Dream - 8.2 Sweet Potato Fries - 6.1 Food - 7.5 Service - 8.3 Value - 7.5 Restaurant score - 78

    We really do like this place. Good food Great specials, good drinks. Very good service. Our only problem is the menu is printed so small folks! Bring your reading glasses!

    The chicken wings looked and tasted amazing! However, the wings are jumbo sized and the 2 largest drums were undercooked. I will be back, though.

    West coast burger missing chipotle mayo(was never brought or put on) had to ask for mayo.

    Waitress was great, but ordered the west coast burger med-well. When it came to the table the bottom bun was so soggy and nasty. Waitress took it back and brought me out the burger with a new bun. When I started to eat it I realized it was rare and tried to just eat the outside parts since i was hungry until I was too grossed out to eat anymore.

    Literally brought out ONE piece of sushi

We had hoped to sit outside but a family had their kids running wild so we ducked inside. The establishment is one long, eclectic rectangle with a hodgepodge of art and decoration without any noticeable theme or cohesion. They served me a wonderful Reyka martini and we had breakfast for dinner because the dinner offerings didn't leave an impression. My girlfriend had three over-easy eggs with smoked bacon and I had a grilled chicken omelet with gruyere and spinach with a side of potatoes. The omelet was excellent. The potatoes could have been a crispier by they were fresh. My girlfriend enjoyed her dish as well. For a Saturday, it was strange that they had only one server and one cook in the kitchen. Even so, our server was wonderful and kind. We hope to return soon and actually have breakfast for breakfast!

With its airy outside patio and spacious interior, we loved the vibe. We were warmly greeted by our server Paige and were seated. Our spicy margaritas had just the right amount of kick! We were off to a great start... We dined on chili and a dish called El Fresco. The El Fresco are marinated seasoned chicken chunks served on a bed of sliced mozzarella and tomatoes. It was so savory and satisfying. The Honey could not stop saying how good the chili was!! I was lucky enough to get a spoonful (or two) before it was all gone! You will not go wrong with either one of these dishes. Paige was nice enough to answer my questions about the Brunch menu and history of the restaurant. She directed me to the wall where an article about the owner Marta was hanging. We then had the pleasure of meeting her when she came by the table to check on us. We're so happy we stopped in. The food and service were top notched. When we're in the area again, we're definitely returning. If we lived in the area I could see us becoming regulars here. I suggest you pay them a visit...if you're local to the area or out of towners, you won't be disappointed!! Thank me later.

Destiny, the cashier, was very friendly and offered to take our order at the kiosk. I appreciated that because the kiosk can be overwhelming if you don't know the menu. She knew the menu and kindly answered our questions. I got an avocado burger with bacon it was delicious!! I will say though for that and a small drink it was over 14$ which is very high to me. I'm not sure the value is there but you WILL get friendly service AND delicious food. After lunch we both got dessert. I'm the boring person who ordered a plain vanilla small custard- it was frozen hard like ice cream but very creamy, refreshing, tasty and smooth. My friend opted for the coffee milk shake- I tasted it and it was delicious!!! When we were eating a young man checked on us while walking by and I mentioned it was our first time there and he asked if our expectations were met. I really had no expectations but I was happy with the experience. He seemed very glad to hear that. As a water drinker I REALLY liked the tap of fresh, cold, triple filtered water! The kids who work there are top notch and seem to work well together and they know a thing or two about providing excellent customer service! Oh- and through the course of our meal the place steadily got more crowded too! PS The restrooms were clean and fresh too!
