    We had a great experience! The food was great and so was the service. The restaurant was clean and decorated beautifully for the holiday.

    The food and drinks were super good given it was the late night happy hour, but our service was the worst part. The sad part is that the restaurant was not even that busy; our waitress was just not in a good mood and wanted nothing to do with us. She was annoyed we weren’t ready immediately to order drinks and never came back or asked us for another round of drinks. She gave us our food and the only time she came back was to ask us if we were ready for our checks. Id go back for the food, just not the service.

    Have been to this location several times. If you can sit upstairs in the 21+ area it’s way quieter. Service was good and food was pretty good too. Went on a Saturday night and had reservation- didn’t have to wait so that was a plus.

    The food was good, but the service was way too slow. We would only come back for the food and that’s about it.

    We were visiting our kids and they took us here for dinner. It was busy but we had made reservations and were seated early! Our server was attentive and while it was pretty loud in there we had no trouble hearing him and each other. We had calamari for an appetizer and the boys loved it. I enjoyed the salmon with vegetables and it was delicious. The prices were moderate. It was definitely a happening spot!!

    Went there on a Sunday for brunch with the girls and sat outside. It was our first time. Food was ok, could be better but we will go back and try something different. Service was ok but the location is great.

    Went back because the food is great. After being seated for 15 minutes went to the hostess stand and asked for a waiter. Showed her where we were sitting, a waiter was sent to a table seated long after us. We left and won't be back.

    We’ve been to this thirsty lion multiple times and I feel it’s better than some of the other ones we visited in the DFW area. The only downside is it’s pretty loud, even when I’ve gone on a weekday, but we just expect it now. The service is great, and the food is amazing. Tasty and very fresh and always hot. I definitely recommend making a reservation because instead of having to wait an hour, our table was ready when we arrived at 7 o’clock on a Saturday night.

    Food is ok, service was ok. Probably won’t go back too many other options that are better for that price point.
