This bar is all about what you're looking for. Â
If you're looking for a bucket of beer, a place to watch the game and BS with your buddies - you just found it. Â
My server was really nice, genuinely engaging and sweet. Â Though I didn't eat much food - Â I did have the homemade chips and they were deep fried dynamite. Â And they have a Skill Crane! And tragic, drunken karaoke! Â God is great!
That said, I did see they have oysters and crab legs?
If I were to judge this book by its cover; this is not the kind of place I would eat either of those things. Â I highly doubt The Thirsty Turtle is overnighting fresh oysters from Price Edward Island and crabs from Alaska -- to plates in Antioch, Tennessee.
Not when they peddle fajitas and cheese sticks right along side them?
Checked out the joint a couple of times. It's just eh. Nothing special unless you live 2 miles from it. Tried the wings and they're just eh too. The servers are very distant. Like someone said earlier, they only come around unless you wave at them and call the over. It's a good place to hang out, have a few drinks and watch the game, but other than that, like I said, eh. Nothing too special.
Review Source:Would happily give this place 1 star based on food alone. but as a bar it does have a lot to offer. Many TVs, shows soccer, is smoke free (I love this), and has a cool electronic dart game.
Do not come here expecting good bar food, don't even come here expecting average bar food. The fish tacos were so salty, unimpressive and basic. I don't think the food here can get any blander. They are definitely targeting the most neutral and taste free palette imaginable. Like they are cooking for children. It's an insult to children actually.
The spinach artichoke dip is horrendous. What has happened to places? Have they given up on this dish and just all went frozen and pre-made? I mean people love to order this because its such a mainstream item that many different palettes can agree on. I don't get that, but I digress.
Large space so it's good for groups. Poker tournaments are held here on Wednesday nights.
Decided to check out this sports bar on just word of mouth,...I must say I'm impressed. Now to better understand me know that I don't require much for a spot I can relax and just catch some drinks and the game. Thirsty Turtle has a TV set almost everywhere! So i was able to catch a game on no matter what direction i turned. The chicks in the referee uniforms are not hard on the eyes at all NOT THAT I WAS LOOKING..cause i had my gorgeous fiance with me!..lol just saying its nice to have decent people serving your food rather then the creature from the black lagoon with an attitude...just my personal opinion.
Now, the food was decent, i ordered the naked wings mild, and lets just say they were ok at best,...so the Other Place sports bar still has no worries on that end!
1 complaint,..maybe I missed the sign or something but it was after 10pm on a Friday night and there were kids in there..? not teenage kids but no older then 10-12yr olds still there?....I 'm putting this on the bar who in my opinion should not have let them in a sports bar but more so on the parents because you know how a sports bar is,.profanity, drinking, and smoking...soooooo hey don't complain when your child is saying things he/she shouldn't say when you have them in an adult atmosphere!!
Thirsty Turtle offers Karaoke on one side and TVs, and small game room on the other with a bar equipped to handle any beverage you choose. It will be a stop by every once in a while joint for me.
Love this place. Only been once but I liked it :-) Â The waitresses dress in cute soccer gear I guess and they are nice and attentive. Â There are two sides to this place so it's a pretty good size for a sports bar. Â I hear they have a drink similar to Louisiana's grenades. Â I have gots to go back and try them. Â Didn't have any food my first visit but will be back with a better review when I do.
Review Source:I really enjoyed this place. We stopped in for the Saturday happy hour. I was pleased with the prices (1.48 for domestic draft, 2 for import). As per the recommendations of other reviewers, we tried the fried pickles and hot wings. Yum! They make their own wing sauce, and I loved it! Our server was great and took good care of us. Happy hour was fairly quiet, but it looked like things were beginning to pick up by the time we finished eating. Overall, I would recommend this place.
