Went for lunch today. Had a tripple burger (12oz) with cheese and bacon and homemade fries. So good, all homemade and delicious. The owner, Liz is super friendly and welcoming. My friend had the wings, which were amazing. Will be back for sure. Highly recommend!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch at Thirsty's today. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Real fresh cut fries (so much better than that frozen shoestring garbage). Server (and owner) Liz was a joy. Will be back soon!

Amazing place. I’ve lived in this neighbourhood for 40 years and I have never had the pleasure to go. Big regret. Amazing bar. Amazing people. Great ownership. Nice cozy place. They make you feel comfortable and like a family. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Tonight we had a wonderful time celebrating a good friend’s 80th birthday with some of his fishing buddies. We were very impressed with Thistle’s. They went out of their way to make our evening a special memory, putting up a celebration sign for happy birthday on the window and supplying a birthday cake for our friend. Liz, the owner, and her staff went out of the way to treat us special. Thank you so much, Liz. We really had a fantastic time. We highly recommend your place.
