The Bang Bang Shrimp had dusted shrimps tossed in Dynamite sauce, drizzled in chipotle mayo, and topped with jalapeño . At first glance, the dish was smaller than I expected but its taste made up for it in the end. I loved the dusted crunchiness of the shrimps drizzled in the chipotle mayo and Dynamite sauce. It was just spicy enough for me and a dish I can see myself craving for every so often😀.
At this time, the server also brought out a bowl of complimentary nachos covered with cheese. Yay! These were just regular nachos with melted processed cheese but I really liked it. It went so well with the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer to break up the spiciness. I placed some of the jalapeños on the nachos to eat too and it was such a tasty combination!😀
Family of 4. All loved our meals. Waitress was not making suggestions or coming back for refills, checking in etc... But all of our meals were great portions, temp and delicious

My dining group wanted to eat on the patio but the weather would not cooperate with us. When our group arrived the manager asked us if we could move inside because it was going to be a thunder storm. They set a table inside to be there when we wanted to move. As soon as the first crack of thunder happened the servers snapped up everything on our outside table to transfer inside. this was so nice.
Atmosphere- It is a nice space with a lot of wood. it does give the feel of tex mex. I would have preferred the patio but inside was safer.
Food- My group had the following: 1) hamburger- Good and tasty. Fries were really ( over) crispy- some people like them I am not n that group. 2) bang bang shrimp- hot and spicy with a ton of jalepino peppers. Dish was good but too many peppers in my opinion 3) beef burrito- good but too many refried beans 4) chimichanga- excellent 4) fish tacos- fish was burned on outside but the rest of the taco had great flavour. i loved it with bbq sauce. 5) pulled pork mac and cheese- wow Cheesy! There was so much of both pork and noodles that after my friend had finished it looked like a full bowl of the stuff. she loved the flavour as well. 6) Cactus dip- Everyone loved this . If i ordered this again i would ask for all fried pitas rater than the naucho chips. they were awesome.
Server- Fast and efficient. I asked for another pop because the drink was watered down ( needed more syrup) It was replaced lickety split.
Impression- I want to go back one summer evening in the summer to experience that great patio. Also when we left the rain had stopped and we saw a beautiful rainbow as we walked to our cars.
Half price wings on Sunday, incredible service, friendly, perfect timing, lots of smiles, great overall atmosphere and of course spectacular wings
First time here, very delicious!. We went on a Saturday evening around 6:30pm. The place was very busy! The patio was full but inside the restaurant they have large windows open to the street that let in a lot of light and fresh air so its a great atmosphere in the summer. They even have a couple pool tables inside. The cactus lager is great! We ordered wings and the Mexi fries for dinner. Probably some of the best wings we've had! Very large and the sauce was great and they were made to order- extra crispy and extra saucy. The Mexi fries are loaded with sour cream, salsa, onions, beef, cheese, etc, and hit the spot! We were very pleased and will definitely be back soon! The only thing they should change is the free appetizer they put on your table after you order which is nacho chips with cheese sauce....its a little lack luster, but free.
Really great staff and really good food their own cactus lager is great. Really kid friendly before 7.
Great Food and Staff!. We were there for the Cactus Festival today. It was very busy but that didn't effect the quality of food or the service.
Really great food, and they make their own beer (which is worth trying).
We've been there before and had an equally satisfying visit.

Awesome summer patio experience. We enjoy sitting on the patio during the summer months at Thirstys. The staff is always friendly. The wings are always hot, saucy and awesome. I have never had a bad experience there. The patio on saturdays features a musician who is pretty good Mike V. So its a real enjoying time, on a hot summers day, to have a few cold ones and wings and listen to some great cover tunes. I have also tried the New Brunswick stew with 3 differnet meats in it and it too was really good. It was surprisingly filling I wasn't hungry after eating a bowl of it.
Great poutine when it's available, very good half price wings on Sundays. Lots of variety at the beer taps.
Still a fav! Amazing service Everytime, Only issue we have is the food can be hit or miss. The same order of nachos can differ from week to week. And chicken wings can sometimes come out with little to no sause... One week I'd give the food a 10. The next it can fall as low as a 5 or 6. I guess it all depends who's working the kitchen that night. Over all, Still love it
Great pub. I love their cactus lager !!!!!
wish they would bring back gator bites but the wings are still very good. A friendly place for a family dinner before 7pm then its party time !
Great PUB !. Really great staff. They are friendly to you if you are by yourself or in a large group/Family.
I had a pulled pork sandwich. It was very good.
I like there own Cactus Lager !
This is one of my boyfriend and my favourite restaurants. It always has a great atmosphere, food comes out quickly, waitresses are friendly. Their fajitas abs burritos are great. Love the nachos on the table.
The Thirsty Cactus essentially does TexMex but pub style. For me that means spice and I’m about to get my cheese on.
Amazing food, beer, entertainment and service. We truly experienced a full 5 star restaurant. The portions are huge and very well priced. We dined in on a Saturday night and the place was packed. Make sure you make reservations ahead of time. We tried 4 different dishes off the menu and all of it was delicious and plenty to take home. We definitely will be back to try the other items on the menu.
Great first experience. Had the taco + Marg special and a bacon cheese burg and fries. Photos show about half the huge portions (sorry - so hungry, couldn't wait). We will be back.
We went on Thursday to have dinner, we didn't know, but was tria day. It was very fun night. The menu has many options, we got a a brisket skilled and a jambalaya. Both were tasty. The service was amazing!
Food and service were great, really enjoyed the atmosphere inside! I can't wait to visit the patio for drinks this summer. I just wish the hot sauce was hotter!
Amazing food, good service and a good atmosphere. Food was ready in good timing and it’s a popular spot. I recommend trying the nachos and for desert the vegan peanut butter cup 👍
The service was incredible, our server suggested amazing food and even went above and beyond to customize it for us without us even asking. The food came incredibly fast and tasted amazing. The portions are also massive and the price is much cheaper then most places. There was also live music that sounded great. Highly recommend this place!
Husband loved the atmosphere. Great spot for a guys night ...beers and sports. Although the "chicken waffles " were disappointing and the bang bang shrimp was scarce.. the chicken pasta was fantastic!
