Great spot! Just moved to the area and went in for lunch. Food was awesome. The draft selection was…. A lot of options haha.
Friday lunch? Enjoy, no wait, and good food. The sliders had a nice crispy bun and a juicy burger center. The truffle fries were a little dry but had a ton of flavor! Would come again.
Food was pretty good and the service was excellent. The Moose Margarita was great and they also have a nice selection on draft.
Love the atmosphere here! Fun music, good energy and a really open restaurant/bar vibe. The bar is huge here with tons of tasty for watching the game. Lots of high rise tables and regular tables for families. Always a good crowd of people here. We got the cheesy bread for an app and it was amazing. I like trying new sour beers when I go here, they have a huge list of beers on tap. For dinner, I got the Buffalo chicken ceasar wrap. They offer a lot of different sides to choose from and the food is always high quality. Their menu is huge. Our server was fast, friendly and attentive. Overall, love it here!
A few weeks ago my bf and I ordered a BLT chopped salad to split (their salads are Huge) to go. When we got home and saw that the salad toppings were very skimpy. I called and the manager Pedro said he would take care of it and to ask for him next time we ordered. I called tonight and I said I was willing to pay if he could just make sure there was sufficient amount of toppings. Instead he compensated us with 2 free salads, one for each of us! Amazing customer service. Thank you Pedro you are a Rockstar! 🙌✨️🤙
Went out for dinner, party of two. It was busy, but we were seated right away. Victoria was our server and was very attentive and friendly. Our meal came out in a reasonable amount of time and was very tasty. It was loud with all the patrons, but it was still possible to have a conversation. Overall it was a great experience.
Absolutely amazing food, service and customer service. I’ve eaten here often and never had a bad experience. Ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich and pulled pork sliders and got delivery, it arrived and there was barely any pulled pork and sauce and no buffalo on my sandwich. I called and they got the manager on the phone super quick. The manager had our meals remade and delivered to us in a very quick amount of time and it was perfect. They outdid themselves with making things right and were so nice and apologetic about the whole situation! Thank you Thirsty Moose. I’ll be back again soon!
We had exceptional service, found out after our meal our waitress was on her first night on the job, it honestly didn't show. Solei (sp) was personable, attentive, knew her menu selections and gave perfect advise to one of her customers at the table who was thrilled with her meal selection. Food was good, volume was too high, but I suppose to be expected but our service was crowned by our new go to server Solei. Thank you and we did speak to mgr because how happy we were with her. Excellent night out with friends, all around 👍
First time visiting The Thirsty Moose. The atmosphere was nice, the prices for reasonable, in the service was excellent. After ordering, our food was brought and the waitress realized that the kitchen had sent out the wrong meal for myself, and before I realized it, she quickly apologized and went and brought the correct meal. Most servers would probably just bring what was sent out and not realize whether it was right or wrong. So she was obviously experienced and on top of her game! If you ever get stephanie, she knows her job and does it well!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an awesome experience at Thirsty Moose Taphouse! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, with a great vibe whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or hanging out for a while. The food was fresh and really hit the spot, and the drink selection had plenty of great options. Staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending to friends!
