Reviews for Thirsty Lion Gastropub - Washington Square in Irving, TX

I ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It was good, but nothing special. I didn't snap a picture of the Beer Cheese Curds but... those things were AMAZING! The drink was refreshing and it looked nice. Read more

Pleasantly surprised. We had serval drinks and they were all good. The fish and chips were good as well. The Irish whiskey... French toast was TO DIE FOR. They were so good that I went back a week later and they were still just as good. Needless to say,definitely going back a third time. The only draw back is parking sucks in that area but that won’t keep me from going back. Read more

Very nice place! Had to hang for a couple hours while my daughter was at a concert. My waitress was great and left me alone but... didn't neglect me either. Food was all very fresh, and there are some creative, unique items on the menu. Cocktails are fun andnot too pricey. Beer selection is good. Read more

While the food was good (but not excellent), most other aspects of this visit was subpar and it most certainly does not rate as ... a "gastropub" in my opinion. Our server seemed disinterested and serving flat beer is a disgrace. Our visit was on Saturday,March 12, 2022. It was late afternoon, approximately 4pm or thereabouts. The pub was nowhere near capacity. We were seatedpromptly. I ordered a Stella Artois beer (there was not a large selection of beer on the menu and no particularly Irishbeer) My family ordered soft drinks. For food, I ordered off the seasonal St. Patricks' Day menu while my family ordered fromthe regular menu. My beer arrived and it was completely flat, no head at all. Note that it was poured this way, so the barmanshould have noticed and corrected it. My server should have not served the beer without a head. When I protested, she seemedconfused and uncertain as to what to do, so I let it ride. My family does not like it when I make a fuss at a restaurant. Mystarter of potato cakes was interesting and good. I shared it with my family as there were sufficient. We all liked it. It leftmy cutlery gooey from the cheese. When our server came round to remove the plates, she carefully removed the dirty silverwarefrom the plates and put them on a clean side plate, in the process dropping bits of food on the table. She then removed theplates, leaving the used silverware, but never cleaning up the mess she made on the table. I got up from our table and tookclean silverware from an adjacent table. I was not in a frame of mind to eat one dish with the caked remnants of the cheesypotato cakes on the blade of my knife. Our main course we all agreed on was good. I had the Irish(?) shepherd's pie, while myfamily had a turkey club and some tacos. I made a visit to the restrooms and observed one of the food service workers handlinghis mobile phone with gloved hands, meaning that he would be touching food with the same gloves that he used to Read more

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on a Saturday. The wait was about 10 minutes. Our waitress was very nice. I had the... salmon with jasmin rice and my boyfriend had the fried chicken mac and cheese and we both enjoyed them. I will definitely bereturning. Read more

Food was good although calamari was a bit chewy. Was expecting the waiter to have on a mask at least out of respect to the... people he was serving. Server was respectful. Read more
