Always love coming here on a cedar point day. The food is always quality and the service is good. They have a nice kids menu and a variety of drinks. read more

We stopped in on a whim before meeting friends at Cedar Point. We were drawn in by their advertised walleye and perch. We both had the fried perch some potato skins. The fish was perfectly fried (lightly battered and crisp, but flaky and juicy inside.) The skins were huge and nicely done. Portions and value were average. Service was average. Atmosphere was a mix between a local Vegas bar and bowling alley (there is one next door.) They have all of the Ohio lottery games and OTB for horse racing. While it's nothing to brag about I'd return if in the area. read more

I go here every time I take a trip to Cedar Point!! Love you guys!! Thanks for the amazing food! read more

Thirsty Pony - Strong island! Hehe :) - Pizza Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

My family and I have been coming here for years. By far the best burger I have ever had. Staff is always friendly and make you feel like a local. Come to Sandusky for Cedar Point, but stay and go to the Pony for the best food in the area. read more

Bad customer service our food was okay waited an hour for our food granted we ordered with our water so we knew what we wanted it took an hour to be seated by the time my food got there I wasn't feeling it. 2 hours! read more

Our waiter was really great. He was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. However, the wait-time for the food was horrible. We waited almost an hour. The couple that brought us here, had been once before and had experienced the same lengthy wait-time. The food was nothing to write home about. It was loud. They are connected to a bowling alley, which and a very small arcade, which kept the kids entertained while we waited for the food. We come to Sandusky 3-4 times per year and certain we will not visit this establishment again. read more

Great food menu is huge something about this place just keeps me coming back....food is good..service is pretty good...got allot to do after u eat ....bowling ,laser tag ,horse race betting, arcade good drink menu....a real great place...little $$ though but its by cedar point its gonna be $$ read more

First and last time here. The food took over a half an hour to get. The waitress never checked on us or asked us for refills.

This place is pretty amazing. Do not let the bar atmosphere fool you, the menu is by far better than any bar I have eaten at. Their menu is so impressive, that we not only ordered an appetizer, (which was a huge portion of pork nachos, piled with all the fixings) but an entree each and a smoothie. Everything was excellent, and this is going to be our new spot after seeing how many cocktail pitcher and beer options that the restaurant offers. read more

See all

We ate here our last night in Sandusky. At first we were a little put off by the appearance. It was across the street from our hotel and after reading reviews we decided to try it. Wow... First it is not anything we had ever been to with keno and betting on races happening in the adjoining room. This is a bar with excellent food! Tip. Great drinks. Strong drinks. Eat first! If not hand the keys to your husband. My husband and son stated with loaded tater tots. They were excellent. Hot and crisp. My daughter and I shared the lobster bisque bowl. We should have stopped there. It was a full meal more than a starter. I love a good lobster bisque and growing up in New England I have had it made in some excellent seafood places. This was close to any of those. Now to the burgers. Exceptional. Huge, juicy, cooked to order and love the brioche buns. None of us had complaints except we could not finish them and had no way to bring them home to finish later! Service was good and fast. The staff was friendly. The drinks were good. Wish we had tried it sooner in our trip. read more

Food was great. Service was great. A little crowded and over priced, but for the most part it is a nice little restaurant /bar. Would definitely recommend. read more

I take a annual trip with my daughter and father to cedar point for the last 2 yrs and the thirsty pony was one of those places we had to try. It was well eye confusing mid match chairs tables and just my kinda joint. The menu had different items you don't find in you chains. Will always be back every yr we come to Sandusky. read more

A really cool place to go eat, really fits a long well with the Cedar Point fun theme. It's also connected to a really nice bowling alley, laser tag, and an arcade so all around just a fun hang out place to go. The souvenir drink cups are so fun!!! I love my saxophone cup! I get so many compliments on it all the time! The food is good too, we had the chicken bacon ranch pizza and it was delicious! All around just a super fun place to go and hang out, not too noisy, not too crowded. It's both adult and kid friendly too. read more

Day 1: Great char-grilled chicken sandwich. It was definitely not a run-of-the-mill, chunk-of-chicken-on-a-bun kind of sandwich. Kid's burgers were great as well. Really enjoyed the meal and they actually carry Labatt Blue in the bottle, which is almost unheard of in this part of the country. Kudos to them for the great taste in beer! :) Day 2: Wings were good, and there was more meat than bones like many places seem to sell. But, I had waited since the previous day anticipating a great walleye dinner that I had seen on the menu the day before. However, I was sadly disappointed. The fillets were exceptionally undersized (as in barely and maybe not even legal in Ohio (15" live)) and still had some bones, which can sometimes be expected because it is, after all, fish! But, one was somewhat less than fresh, meaning it was somehow mishandled since being caught, and the other was just ok. As the dark belly meat on walleye is generally less than palatable, and the fillets were small, there was very little fish here to actually enjoy. At $20 it's one if not the most expensive dish on the menu. No problem with the price though if the food is worth it, but it simply wasn't. Overall a good experience except for the wait and the walleye. Each day I visited there was a 30-45 minute wait with 5-7 parties ahead of us. The issue is that there were as many tables and booths open and clean also, so why were we all waiting? read more

After a long day at the park there is nothing better than a kid-feee zone with ice-cold beer. The food is a damn good version of American bar food classics. Some decent draft options, and personable bartenders round out the experience. The Lonely Pony Garlic Wings are particularly good. My husband is a fan of the Chicken Quesadilla and we both like the the Pretzel Sticks. The French fries are the bomb. We consider the Thirsty Pony our "final ride" every time we hit Cedar Point. read more

On a family vacation, excited to try this spot. So much to see and do in the restaurant. The menu is so fun. The kids meals names are hysterical. The wait was long, over 30 minutes at 9 at night. It would be awesome if they could fit more seats in the restaurant. It's big but not a lot of seating. The workers all had to bus their own tables and were so busy. If there were more staff or more consistent help, we could have sat a lot sooner. We watched two empty tables and no one was at the front host stand to seat us. We helped clean the table so we could sit down with our tired kids. The food was fun and tasted good. We would have come back the next two nights but decided to visit the restaurant right down the street the next two nights because of better availability read more

Went there today to bowl and play laser tag and stuff with grandkids, we were told they were only open Thursday to Sunday. Website does not say that, I was told they can't be bothered to update their website. read more

Abby was an amazing server! We got sat a table and asked for a booth and they said the server just got double sat but we said we were ok with waiting for her, and it was like we didn't have to wait a read more

Went there this past weekend and was told there was a 40 minute wait even though many tables were empty. A rude hostess actually told us we could not wait with a drink by the bar area with our teen kids even though patrons were in there with toddlers. Really?!?!? read more

My family and I frequent this establishment, especially during the Triple Crown season and the Cedar Point off season. We have a particular waitress that we love getting, but haven't been in her section for a few visits now. This review will focus on our 5/16/14 visit. First, we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table at about 7PM. As it is just the start of the Cedar Point season, this wait time should start to increase. We started with southwest egg rolls, which we think we're new to the menu. They were as good, if not better than the southwest egg rolls at Chili's. They were around $8.00 for approximately 5 egg rolls cut in half. I had my usual - the Thirsty Bam burger. It is a delicious burger with garlic and Worcestershire sauce mixed in served on a ciabatta roll/bun. It's about $9.50 with a $2 up charge for seasoned or sweet potato fries. Served with a fried pickle and a small cup of coleslaw. My daughter and wife split a small, flat bread style pizza for about the same price. No complaints from either of them. As for drinks - I had a gigantic mug of Molson (about 33oz.). My daughter had a non-alcoholic "pony brew" which my wife said is supposed to resemble the brew sold at the Harry Potter park at Universal Studios. This restaurant also has a semi-complete Fricker's menu available for those that want wings/chicken dishes. As other reviewers said, TP is not cheap. I was at $64 with tip for 2 adults and a 5 year old. We can usually eat at Fricker's for around $40 for roughly the same meal. If you are traveling to Cedar Point, the attached hotel and micro-water park maybe a cheap alternative to staying at the actual park. Additionally there is a bowling alley attached to the other side for more family fun. This place is kid and adult friendly. I would recommend one of the novelty adult drinks in the take home leg lamp (like Christmas Story) or the Rockband like guitar. Did I mention they have simulcast off track horse race betting? This is the only location I have found in Northwest Ohio since Raceway Park closed. Come for some friendly wagering and stay for the food and drinks! read more

I stayed with my family at the Quality Inn that is connected to this place this week. The bartenders were great and made some great drinks for us. We ate here twice during our stay. Both times the food was excellent. Emily was our server on Wednesday night. If she doesn't get the best shifts she should. She was an incredibly nice waitress. She was very attentive and we never had to ask for refills on our beverages. If we ever come back to Sandusky we will stop here again. read more

Our group had mixed reviews for this restaurant. We were disappointed with the lobster bisque and the French dip sandwich. Others liked their Rueben and Goopy Burger. The service was slow, but the waiter was very kind. read more

Every time I come up to Cedar Point I make it a point to stop and eat at the Thirsty Pony! I also tell everyone I know to stop by and grab some good food! The food is always great, drinks are always closed, and service is always on point. Can't wait to come back and have some good eats! read more

It is such a tradition for me to stop and eat here after spending the day at Cedar Point. I love it so much. The staff is always so friendly and anything I get tastes great! They have the best fried pickles I have ever had and no where else I have been can compare to theirs. I am also in love with their goopy burger. I usually try new things when I come here because like I said before everything I try has been tasting great! Can't wait to go back in a week(-: read more

Burgers were good french fries were good beers were good. Too bad the waiter was not very good. He could not name the normal everyday beers that were on draft and it took him forever to bring us our bill. We paid our bill on credit card and left no tip. He had enough guts to chase us out to the parking lot and ask us what was wrong. He said he won't get paid. wow.. really ..come on... he doesn't work there for just tips. We felt the prices were a bit high and that is all we felt was necessary. Perhaps he needs not to be chasing customers out into the parking lot! read more

We went for a LATE dinner and we were very surprised. There was more food than the two of us could share. We ordered the perch dinner. The pile of perch was HUGE and it came with a side dish and a salad. We did not finish the fish or the sweet potatoes fries. Great service, friendly staff, great food, and great prices!!! read more

Very large menu selection with a little bit of everything. Second time I have gone there and always surprised at how good the food has been.

This is one of those local, keep-it-weird spots. There is a real horse betting room, plenty of appetizers and lots of bar food. Lots of visual stimuli. Service was friendly and accommodating. read more

Every year we come to cedar point we are sure to stop in and have beers and food. The wings are always fresh, jumbo sized, and crispy. The beer always cold and they have 132oz tubes for your personal dispense. If at cedar point or in Sandusky area be sure to stop in for they have something the entire family would love. read more

Fun place to eat and very good service. Really cool atmosphere! Minutes from Cedar Point which is nice. Portion size is huge and food is delicious. I felt the prices were a little too high. There are very limited places to eat in Sandusky that are original and not a chain restaurant . So this is probably as good as it gets in that area. read more

Thirsty Pony - Pizza Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

When my husband and son wanted to take me out to supper for my birthday we went to the thirsty pony. Even though they had empty seats available, we were told that for 3 people our wait would be 20 to 25 minutes. It pissed me off that because we were not a big party we weren't worth sitting right away. HORRIBLE customer service! Went to Quaker Steak & Lube just down the street. Got the BEST service from Valerie, and excellent food! read more

A large group of us came to Cedar Point from Indy. Our hotel was across the street from the Thirsty Pony and after eating the super expensive crap at the park we were ready for some decent food. To be honest, it was late and this place was the only one around that still served food so we decided to give it a shot and I am so glad we did. From the service from Antoine to the great selection of food to the amazing taste of the food this place is AMAZING! We were able to get everything from milkshakes to a "leg" of alcohol for drinks. The French onion soup was wonderful, the sandwich tasted great and as I said the service was fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone (kids are welcome!) read more

Kids had the pizza buffet which was good! Huge menu with a bunch of options. I had the sirloin which was cooked perfect. I plan on coming back. read more

Food is your typical deep fried/bar food fair, so was good with a beer. Beer was served in warm glass, still drank it. Server was great, was super busy and busting their hump! Menu is large so lots to choose from. Got 1/2 nachos to start, ate it all so must have been good. Got the "chubby hubby", ate it all so this must have been good too.. Worth a visit when you want a large beer and something tasty to go with it. read more

We stopped in here after a 3 hour drive to get a late dinner. This was my first time to eat here and the food was great. I had the Ruben sandwich and it canes with a small coleslaw and a fried pickle. The waitstaff was very friendly and very attentive. The food was cooked like it is supposed to be and served hot. The meal was brought to fill you up and not leave you hungry. The prices are about average. This is a place to visit for a great meal. read more

Thirsty Pony is great!!! It is located right at the beginning of the road that becomes the Cedar Point causeway (next to Rain Indoor Waterpark), which is great because it is within close distance of many of the major attractions in Sandusky. Their burgers are really good, and the atmosphere is really fun. They have a bunch of gambling stuff related to horse racing, and they have Keno, but I've never tried either. It's a goofy place, with fun menu items and decor all themed around ponies, and even though it's catered more to adults, kids can still enjoy eating there too. There's also an attached bowling alley, which seems to be popular. Overall, it's a great place to stop if you're in the area and looking for good food at good prices, and the great atmosphere is just icing on the cake!!! read more

The only reason we came here is because my friend suggested it because it was open late and we arrived into town late. The food was blah. Is there anything else to say? No, not really because there was nothing awesome about this place. read more

The prices are high and the service is slow. I have been here many times and the pizza is good but that is the only food that is decent. The wings and chinks are nothing spectacular and the fries always seem undercooked. The best part of the experience is drinking the yard of long island. read more

had dinner with friends here. service and environment is good. the chicken wings taste nice but abit oily. pizza is good! read more
