Thirsty Lion — Restaurant in Chandler

Came here for Valentine's dinner. Arrived alittle after 4. We came during happy hour. When waitress came we asked if happy hour she said yes. I asked for the happy hour margarita, my husband ask for beer she asked if wanted the happy hour one he said yes. Also asked for cheese curds happy hour appetizer. Then we ordered our dinner, my husband order another happy beer, after getting our dinner ate some then my husband found hair in his meal, waitress took his off the tab. He ordered another happy beer as I ordered another happy hour margarita as it was still happy hour. We got an desert as well. When we got our bill, the drinks and appetizer were not the happy hour price. My drink tasted like happy hour drinks She said it's Valentine's and no happy hour, we argued and told her that she said it was happy hour when we came alittle after 4pm. Nothing happened. Went up front to talk to management about our issues. He contine to tell us that there was no happy hour since it was Valentine's. We argued with him. All he did was apologize and gave us a coupon for a free appetizer next time. Big Deal. That doesn't cut it. He was going to talk to the waitress about it. Yeah right. So we're out $45 cause was told happy hour and after the facts it wasn't. If had known from the waitress it wasn't cause of Valentine's, we would not have ordered the appetizer, and the extra drinks.

Stopped by for their brunch. I had requested Standard seating, but was still seated at a high top. It was pretty empty at the beginning of Saturday Brunch, but filled up more before noon. Music played was a diverse mix of eras & genres. Our server was very kind, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She made our experience worth it. Water cup and silverware could have been cleaner. The food was on the salty side for my taste. We started with a Giant Pretzel, which was absolutely covered in salt. The flavor was good, once you took off about 80% of the salt, but was also kind of dry and hard to rip apart. The 3 sauces it came with were each unique and different. The Whiskey French Toast was Very sweet, crunchy and flavorful. The Whisky syrup was very tasty. The Adobo Eggs Benedict was very good. The meat was juicy and tender. The cornbread was probably the best part. Very sweet, savory and had a little kick of spice. The poached eggs however, were not fully cooked, so most of the whites were raw. The breakfast potatoes were very salty. Classic Fried Egg and Bacon Sandwich was the best thing served today. The bread was toasted to perfection, bacon was thick cut and tasted amazing. Overall an amazing sandwich with a side of a small pepper. Potatoes were also very salty. Overall, it was a nice experience, but not sure if it was worth the price. Won't be coming back for brunch, but maybe for their dinner...

Had to leave this review as soon as possible in order to ensure there was no time discrepancies whatsoever.

Just "finished" our meal. And by that, I mean the hush puppies were ate completely, one of my bone in hot wings of the sixteen were ate, and a little bit over half of the sixteen of the barbecue cilantro lime.

So let me compliment you on the hush puppies. Them along with the sauces were excellent and blew our minds. We loved every bit of them.

Sadly that is where the compliments end.

Upon eating my one hot wing, I noticed that there was a lack of flavor and I was caught completely off guard by the loss of taste. Even the ranch that I used was bland. I thought it was weird and asked my girlfriend to try it. Even she confirmed the sauce was missing key ingredients to give it the proper taste needed.

Then we come to my girlfriend's boneless wings. While they do have flavor, the breading came off of them and it looks like a mush. We looked at our times and there was no way this should be possible. The breading wasn't crunchy and the chicken was a bit overcooked. We just could not finish our meals.

My girlfriend came from out of state and I wanted to end her last night here with a bang, which in turn turned out to be a big dud. And for the price I paid, I am very disappointed with how this turned out. I do not think I will be returning to your establishment. Even if the hush puppies...
