One main bartender reaks of your grandma's perfume and has the personality of a doorknob. Otherwise it's ok

Very nice place and an amazing food. The NY strip is really delicious, soft and creamy when you take at medium cook.The atmosphere is OK, but nothing impressive to make you and your family too excited.The staff serves very well with some kind of emphaty, but not happy as you want to be.Its not a chepeast price in Town, so, if you are getting there, there is a lot of types of food on the menu.

I have to say I really enjoy The Thirsty Turtle. Although it's a sports bar and you think it might just be cool to watch a game, the food and staff are excellent and professional. We went the other night and met friends for dinner and it was a fantastic experience! The waiter, (I don't remember his name), but he memorized our order and everything came out perfect! We had appetizers, burgers, beer & drinks, and enjoyed everything we ate and drank. I also have to call out Manny who went above and beyond in helping me. He is smart and knows how to treat customers. Any establishment should be lucky to have him!

My toddler loves it here for the kids meal. He gets a hot dog and it comes with GRAPES and a gogurt. My goodness! If only they cut the grapes ahead of time then it would be PERFECT. More restaurants should serve kids meals like that. The food is usually great. Though the one item I just don't recommend was fajitas. Though I had them last summer, the flavor profile was so strange. Maybe it was an off night. But anyway the food is usually very solid - cheesesteak and sandwiches all great. Pot stickers are good and the pretzel app. Beer menu is pretty vast and there's usually a sour/ cider too which is great. So many places have IPAs only these days. Service is always consistently good. When we are in the area it's a solid spot

Only had drinks with a friend. Clean; good lighting. Noise level was good, could hear my friend talk, no pressure to order food at the bar, staff friendly and they worked well with each other. It was a pleasnt surprise. Nice atmosphere and many choices for food and drinks. Good Variety of beer on tap. Plebty of parking.

I recently met up with a friend at The Thirsty Turtle for lunch. It was a quiet day for the restaurant, and we had not seen each other in a while, and had a nice visit. The food was average, and the server pleasant but not very attentive. After a while, the place emptied a bit, and one of the managers stood about ten feet from me, and stared at me, making strange faces---then went over to the lights and dimmed them. It was clearly an attempt to get us to leave, though the place was nearly empty and it was early afternoon. I called to inquire about what I felt was unprofessional behavior, and was told they were checking the table and often dimmed the lights....in other words, I was given a song and dance after being made to feel very unwelcome. The site says it is a place "to gather," but I gather they would prefer you eat and leave quickly. It will be a long time before I would consider going there again.

Good place for a break from work for great sandwiches and salads. Clean open well lit atmosphere. Staff are helpful if a bit rushed because the place is often packed at lunchtime. Good place to sit and talk with work friends as tables are roomy and they won't rush you out to clear the table. Go and have some fun.
