Picked four things off the menu "sorry we can't make that" And no Miller Lite. For a little hot spot, go get the things you are out of from Hyvee and make your customers happy! Won't be back! read more

Great food, great service! My go to place for cocktails and dinner or lunch! I highly recommend!

So much going on here! So friendly! So much selection! So many reasons to pull off the Highway! If you haven't been here, shame on you! If it's on your bucket list, DO IT ALREADY! The specials are actual specials and the bartenders know their stuff. read more

For Albert Lea, this is a great little place! This night was Good food, good choice of adult beverages and attentive service! Went there a few nights later with my brother and a friend from HS-- still good choice of drinks of course, food was fine but the service was not as impressive as the 1st visit Oh well.... Win some and lose some, right?? read more

This place absolutely rocks! We were stuck in town for a few hours with car issues and decided to come in. The daytime manager was training and it was busy (now I know why) and everything was spot on! We had the egg roll appetizer, fish wrap, and smash burger. The food was amazing and came out in a very reasonable time considering a big group in the back. I wish we had time to stay longer and try the cocktails because they have an extensive menu featuring classic cocktails all the way to creative modern drinks. We travel I-90 very frequently and will absolutely make this a stop! read more

Hit this place yesterday for lunch. We have patiently awaiting it's opening for months. A few opening day SNAFUs asside, everythig was great. My wife are both suckers for a good basket of fish and chips, and that's just what we ordered. I ordered one of the 12 craft beers they had on draught and was not dissapointed. The portions were nice sized and very tasty. There are other tasty looking items on the extensive menu, but I don't know if I will ever order anything other than the Fish & Chips. They were awesome. We'll be back. read more

The night we were there was $1 off all burgers. The place draws a crowd. I was able to obtain a Gluten Free Bun. Unfortunately the French Fries are coated so I was unable to have them. As a substitute I was told that coleslaw was available which I had. read more

Nice outdoor patio on the main road, can see a lot of cars and people. Wait staff was welcoming.

Smelled great as soon as we got out of the car. Got seated right away in their beautiful outdoor area. Had some terrific tasting beer from Indeed Brewery. All four of us enjoyed our meal! You must order their Peach Rim cake! Excellent service! read more

Superb. Headed in from hwy 35. Quick exit. Fabulous food - all fresh and tasty. Burgers fresh with a delicious Smokey flavor. Those around us had flatbread, large salads and rice bowls. Great cocktails and beer choices. Sat on a nice patio. Reasonably priced. Oh, and ice cream on a homemade brownie. read more

The food was bad and the bar tender was drunk and loud and did not stop drinking the whole time.

Food was just okay. They seemed understaffed (Memorial weekend), but friendly. Service was very slow. We were not given silverware or napkins. They did not have one of the two kid meals they offer. My margarita flatbread did not have fresh mozzarella nor fresh basil and maybe no balsamic glaze. It was blah. read more

Thirsty Fox Pub & Grill - Pineapple burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Albert Lea, Minnesota

My wife had shrimp tacos and potato skins. They were both very good. Tasty/well seasoned. I had the spinach salad with chicken and cranberries and candy pecans. It was very good although next time I would order the dressing on the side given the large amount of dressing that was served! The server was very friendly and accommodating. Overall a nice experience. It looked like they had an extensive beer menu as well. One beer that caught my ear but I did not get to try was a white chocolate. They also have outside seating. read more

Had a tasty meal and sat outside. New covered porch is/was still under construction so we sat next to the highway, which was fine tbh. Were just passing through town but will seek it out again the next time we are in Albert Lea. read more

Inventive menu and a fun atmosphere. The service was good. We've been there a few times.

Passing through, we had dinner there last night about 8:00 pm. Place was very clean and service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and acted like they enjoyed their job. Food was also very good. I had the shrimp tacos and they were some of the best I have had. Husband had burger and fries and he said it was good too. Nice selection of draft beer! read more

We were driving through, stopped for lunch & checked Yelp for a place. This was an excellent choice. I failed to take pictures of our choices. I had the shrimp basket, my husband had the patty melt, & our son had the bourbon burger. All were great & service was too! We will be back when we come through. read more

Service really poor waited a long time to give our order then a long time to get food. There were a lot of open tables so it was not busy. We got our food but no utensils. We watched our food get cold while our waitress described and displayed her tattoos for 15 minutes to the table next to us. We will not be back. read more

Our 1st time here. I got a cheeseburger added bacon, it comes with fries. It was amazing. I do recommend the cheeseburger. I'm a sucker for bacon, and that was perfect for me, nice & crispy. The fries were hot & crispy, aga highly recommend. My husband ordered the fish basket. He got 2 pieces of fish. The menu said 3 pieces. He said it was ok, the fries & coleslaw was great. Took a little time to get a refill on pop, but overall it was a very good experience. Yes I do recommend this restaurant. read more

Great for a relaxed Saturday lunch. Great drinks, great food and attentive service! Large drink selection and knowledgeable staff to provide recommendations. Husband loved the tap selection of craft beers -- with no Bud Light on tap (that's a pro). read more

I love the environment of the thirsty fox. The food is a little pricey but really good. I also enjoy the beers they have on tap.

Betsy was an amazing server. I drove about 2 hours to meet a person there. She made sure that we had a good visit along with our great food. It is small and cozy but a great restaurant. Since I drove, I did not try any of their drinks- but they do have an extensive drink menu. Chicken fingers and wild rice soup were very good. read more

In town for one night, saw that there were lots of folks outside. On Wednesday Night! We ordered to carry out. We had the chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce and bacon. The chicken was perfectly cook, moist with great grille marks outside. Crisp bacon really nice nice sauce! A+ We also had the deep fried green beans. Perfect! Crispy outside, but done inside. Great find!!! read more

Had lunch yesterday with family. It was busy so the service was a little slow but it was to be expected given the crowd. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and it was excellent. My husband had the Philly. He didn't enjoy it but also didn't rad the menu that it was just deli style roast beef and not shaved ribeye like a traditional Philly... The restaurant was nice and clean. read more

Great food. Stopped randomly on our way home from Des Moines. The menu choices hit everything we craved. We had fried green beans, potato skins, quesadillas, chicken strips, patty melt and pork sandwich. The side salad with the sandwiches was made of salad greens and fresh! Definitely recommend it for a quaint bar food stop. Everyone of us enjoyed the food and service read more

Boubon Burger was AMAZING! Highlys suggest it! Stop in and have a pint and dish and you'll be very happy! read more

First time in the area and was looking for something like this place. Just opened a couple of weeks ago and they are still getting process down. The place is well set up and what i like in a Pub/Bar. Clean, modern and a cool look. The cocktail menu was set up like a nice program. Solid selection of bourbons, Irish whiskies and beers. The food was traditional grill fare with around 8 burgers, 3 salad options and some sandwiches. Staff was friendly and attentive. Not sure about other options in town but this was solid for out state. I would come back next time Im in the area. read more
