OMG I am loving this place. I'm starting with the food first because it was so fabulous it deserves to be the center of my review. Let's begin with the beer cheese soup. This soup will make you forget all the other soups you have experienced in your life. It is absolutely phenomenal. Thick and rich cheddar based soup with a beautiful compliment of rich aromatic beer in every mouthwatering bite. After having a big delightful bowl of their soup I chose to go a tad bit lighter for my entree. So I had their Smoked Chicken Waldorf Salad. And once again I was blown away! And by just a salad!!! They combine Field greens with juicy pieces of smoked chicken, cranberries, green apples, feta cheese and candied pecans to create a salad to knock your socks off. This place became one of my favorite spots in town with just a soup and salad. Mind blowing!!! I have returned many times now and have experienced culinary bliss time and time again. From their fish and chips to their sinful bacon wrapped dates you have a cornucopia of choices that will not let you down. Try this place RIGHT NOW you will love it. One more thing, I would be remiss not to mention the great staff at the Thirsty Lion. They deserve a whoop whoop too!!! This restaurant has it all!!!!
