The filet mignon spring rolls, sliced filet mignon sandwich, and skirt steak fajitas were all excellent (that was all I tried, so 3 for 3). Nice bar and grill atmosphere with friendly service. In summary, excellent food and no complaints.

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 …

Great menu and the food was delicious. They have a separate Gluten Free menu. The Beef tenderloin egg roll was unique and tasty. Definitely a nice place for lunch or dinner which offers a variety of food, drink from appetizers to angus burgers, wings, soup or a great choice of steak, salmon, ribs and much more!

Sat at the bar for lunch. Lots of variety on tap. Can confirm that the Fiddlehead IPA was delicious. Same goes for the shrimp tacos, one of the early week specials. Didn't catch the bartenders name, but the service was efficient and attentive.

As a family navigating a new celiac diagnoses this place is a breath of fresh air with their extensive gluten free menu. This is the closest to normal we have yet to experience.

After a long hospital shift on February 14, my coworkers and I decided to unwind at Thirsty Turtle, and it was exactly what we needed. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, the kind of place where you can finally exhale after a busy day. The energy was lively but still comfortable enough for us …
