    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.

    A group of us, 14, went for dessert and drinks after the movie. The service was great and so was the selection and we really enjoyed the late night happy hour. Caitlyn was an excellent server.
