Wide variety from down home options like chicken fried steak, steaks, seafood, sandwiches, pasta etc. something for everyone it's family friendly in a fun atmosphere. Lots of TVs and sports paraphernalia for the sports fans. Service was great! We were greeted promptly, seated quickly and brought our food right away. Budget friendly too with lots of drink options. Plenty of parking for trailers, RVs etc. read more

Seems like every time I'm in Hays I stop in Thirsty's for the great food n service. This trip had the giant Pig Tail with Mac n cheese and the mash potatoes. Also had an appetizer of fried pickles. Everything was great and the pig tail was huge enough to share with a co-worker lol. It is an interesting decor and makes you want to have fun. Like I said every time I'm in Hays this is one place I must hit. read more

I sat at the bar and order a steak, it was delicious and perfectly cooked. I got the side salad and baked beans and both were very good. The place looks as though it was originally built for something else but it makes for an interesting atmosphere. I came during a weeknight, but I bet it's very fun on the weekends, particularly if they have live music which it definitely has room for. The wait staff was very friendly and easy on the eyes. read more

place to refuel, this spot is a must-stop. They offer lots of customizable options, so everyone can get exactly what they're craving, and the prices are fantastic for the quality and variety you get. Service is quick and friendly, making it an easy, convenient stop before getting back on the road. Highly recommend adding this to your go-to road trip route! Fun atmosphere for the kids too with coloring pages on hand to keep them busy :) read more

Wow! This place is delicious! We waited 30mins for a seat. This was a great sign to see so many locals waiting to eat here. The other place that we were planning on trying had a staffing issue so this place was next on the Yelp List of places to try in Hays, Kansas. After we were seated, our server immediately introduced herself and asked us for our drink order. She also brought us waters. We looked over the menu and it was VAST, yet American and perfect for watching the NFL Sunday games. They have a lot of TVs here. You can watch golf or football on the TVs on Sundays. We ordered: 1 Honey Garlic Boneless Wings for the starter, 1 Cowboy Burger with Onion Rings side, 1 Breaded Pork Cutlet with gravy, mashed potatoes, and caesar salad as sides. Also, an Old Fashioned cocktail and a 0% Heineken beer. There was so much food. The portions were huge. The food was VERY GOOD. This is a place where you may be full, but you continue to nibble because everything tastes so great! Our visit was wonderful. Our server was excellent. Overall, I highly recommend dining here. read more

We've been here before and were looking forward to dining here again. There was a brief snafu when we were first seated and apparently the waitress was not alerted to our presence. After waiting 15 minutes, we started to walk out when a we encountered a young lady near the front door (not the hostess who had seated us) and explained why we were leaving. She was extremely apologetic and very focused on making things right. We agreed to stay. She took our drink orders herself and went to find our waitress. When she came back with our drinks, she again apologized for the snafu and said our waitress would be right out. The waitress also apologized for the inconvenience. She was also very friendly and professional. It sounds misleading but I ordered the Big Pig Tail which is really a breaded pork tenderloin, breaded and fried and served with gravy. Like a country fried steak but with a pork tenderloin. It came with two sides - I went with fries and a Ceasar salad. All were excellent. My wife ordered the orange roughy which was served on a bed of rice plus 2 sides. She opted for cinnamon apples and sweet potato fries. All were delicious. Our server was exceptional and the food was as good as we remembered. I'm glad we spoke to the young lady at the door and very glad we gave them a 2nd chance. There may have been some initial miscommunication but they certainly made up for our initial inconvenience. We will stop again the next time we are in Hays read more

We went with Yelp on this one and Thirsty's did not disappoint! Arrived in the area for an overnight while driving home to PA after a visit to CO. Finally, a cocktail for under $17! We liked your prices so much we each had 2 drinks and dessert too! Loved the sports bar vibe and it is clear that Thirsty's is popular with the locals. Tons of folks there at 9pm...Monday Night Football and also MLB playoff games. Our server was very attentive and the freshness of the ingredients of our chicken salads was on point. The salads were available as small or large. We aren't sure who can eat the large size salad; my husband finished his small salad, I persevered and still only managed to eat the chicken and about half of the remainder of the salad. If I lived nearby, I would become a regular! Cheers! read more

I do not think the food here was fresh at all. I ordered wings only & from the picture, you can see the wing doesn't look fresh at all. Then there was a huge hair strand on the plate which is gross. The celery was also bad, very slimy and brownish in color. read more

Decor was wonderful, already a winter wonderland. Our server (Peyton) was amazing! I usually get two drinks and most servers can't keep up. I only ordered water and my glass was never empty. Jr sirloin with grilled shrimp for $15 is a bargain but quality was top notch. Garden salad was fresh mixed greens and the cinnamon apples were the perfect ending. Hubs enjoyed his brisket sandwich and french fries as well. We will be back next time we are traveling through. read more

Each entree was fantastic. The food is always very good. They can do it all here. Their catering is also excellent. The truck and tailgate seating in the lobby is fun for the kids. Snap a picture with the Marilyn Monroe statue on your way in. The extra large TVs make it easy to catch a game. There are many places to sit with large tables for extra large groups down to a table for two. The wait staff have always been very good each time we come. Highly recommended for out of town visitors. The prices are reasonable and the menu has something for every craving. You just can't go wrong with Thirsty's. read more

Stopped by here late on a weekend. Staff were very nice and welcoming. Plenty to choose from on the drink and food menu. Lots of vegetarian and pescetarian options. Interior definitely has a 50s and 60s theme to it... The "pink drink", a monthly special was soooo good. The vegetarian burger was pretty good. The mac and cheese dish was not too bad. All in all, we had a decent experience and would probably return here. read more

Walking in the place you are greeted by Marilyn Monroe and when you walk in further it's got everything from a car to a basketball goal. Happy hour beer was a good deal and i got the Bloody Mary and asked for it spicy. It was very good and spice level was perfect. Started with corn dip as the appetizer and it was like a queso mixed with corn which i gotta say is a good combo. For our meal we got the fajitas and they weren't bad - I'm from Texas so it wasn't the best i ever had but they weren't bad. Stopped in the bathroom on the way out and it had TVs in each stall. That was a first for me! read more

We went there with Mom-in-law about a week ago on a Friday. I ordered the Prime Rib, it should have been really fresh since only served on Fri and Sat. That was the WORST excuse of Prime Rib that I have ever had. I ordered it Med and is showed up Med-Well at best. 1/3 of the cut was fat and it was the toughest chewy steak that I have ever had. Everything else about Thirsty's was wonderful and recommended. But stay away from the Prime Rib read more

Stopped here on a road trip, and we were blown away. The food was delicious. I was skeptical because of the very large menu, but everything we ordered was delicious. The pork chop really stood out. It was one of the most juicy and flavorful pork chops we have had. All of the food was great, the only thing I would say that lacked was the breadstick. But, in comparison to everything else, it doesn't even need to be mentioned. The prime dip was fresh, and the green beans were seasoned perfectly. Our waitress was very friendly and the restaurant had a fun vibe to it. We went right when it opened on a Sunday and it was starting to get packed by the time we left. I am not surprised! Will stop by here again for sure if we are ever in Hays! read more

THE place to eat in hays! Every Monday night after our trap league we (Team 16) enjoy the ice cold beer and great food! We ALWAYS start out with pig tails, and sheet pan nachos! Our go to order? Ribeye, sweet potato fries, side salad! If you've never had the sweet potato fry sauce you're really missing out! If you're not into steaks, it's hard to go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu. The teriyaki chicken and black and blue burger are also staples we regularly order! The staff is always great and ready to serve you with a smile! We apologize for our rowdy group! Oh and if it's Christmas time.... Get the frosty! read more

The food was good and the Waitress was very nice. People recommended this place and compared it to Dave & Busters because they have "an arcade" this part is not true. They have two racing video games and some claw machines. That being said, we enjoyed everything else about the restaurant. Again, the food was good and the Waitress was very nice and helpful. read more

Husband and I went to Thirsty's today for lunch. We weren't sure what we would find but felt adventruous. The place is large with more than adequate seating for all. A full bar and televisions all over, including in the bathrooms. The food was delicious and prepared well. Calvin had the Orange Roughy on Wild Rice with Cole Slaw. I had the fried jumbo shrimp with garlic potatoes. Our server, Cadean, was a delight, friendly and charming. We asked if he was in college ... no but he shared the direction he was taking his life and we wish him all the best on his journey. Next time we're in Hays, we will be back. read more

Came to Thirsty's while visiting my parents in December. We got there around 7pm on a Friday, which is prime time to go. We had to wait for about 20 minutes to get a table for 4, which wasn't too bad. They have a lot of TVs and video games, so very family friendly. We were seated and ordered beer and mozzarella sticks to start. We had a great waitress, who was really attentive! The mozzarella sticks were crispy and filled with gooey cheese and came with marinara sauce. We all liked them quite a bit! I ordered the chicken fried chicken, my dad got the steak special (only $16!), and my stepmom got the pasta. All of our meals came with a side salad. The side salads were really fresh. Our food came out quickly. My chicken fried chicken was delicious! It was crispy, fried perfectly! My dad likes his steak really rare and said his came out perfectly! My stepmom said her pasta was also really good. Thirsty's had great prices and great service! It's a solid choice for dinner or lunch! Highly recommend eating here! read more
