    We had a big group on a busy St Patrick’s Day evening with reservations. We were seated immediately and our servers were hustling. Food was hot and well presented. Good job Thirsty Lion.

    The corned beef was a bit tough for my liking. The drinks were good. The mashed potatoes were very good.

    I have had consistently excellent experiences at Thirsty Lion in Gilbert. This visit we enjoyed their St Patrick’s Day specials which were very good, as well as well made martinis. The bacon wrapped shrimp was an excellent appetizer to start. Our server Azul did a great job, and made our visit really nice.

    If you’re black and want to be starred down by a bunch of nonblack people don’t come here. The food is subpar at best and the ambiance was not a comfortable feeling. We also watched our food sit in the window for 20 minutes and it was cold when we got it.
