    10 medium sauce "wings"

    Going downhill fast. My wife and I have been going to thirsty turtle for years. The wings have been excellent until recently. I think they have switched suppliers. I hope this restaurant is not buying from Sysco. Today's wings look like zombie mutations. Disproportionate size and broken bones throughout. When you order wings, you are lucky if you receive one or two actual wings as the order is typically 90% drums. We often order the clams appetizer, but today's clams seem to be filled with more sand than actual clam and are tiny about the size of a fingernail compared to what this restaurant offered a year or so ago. I am very disappointed in what was hopefully a refreshing restaurant for this area is turning out to become another cost-cutting chain serving Sysco style mutated chicken. Pictures of the zombie chicken are included.

    Thirsty Turtle is located in Juno Beach, but we tried this Loxahatchee location. Restaurant was clean, girl and guy servers were so polite and helpful. We felt welcomed. Ordered and got our food pretty quickly. Wings were outstanding and appetizers delicious. Thanks for a perfect night out. Cup of Chili - best thing we had!!!! this chili was from heaven above!!! Cup of Conch soup - this was ok Fried Mushrooms appetizer - so delicious, crispy and flavorful Hot wings - crispy and perfect, award winning Po'Boy Sandwich - tasted fishy but good French Fries - nice and crispy Beer special - domestic

    Great experience tonight we came for happy hour and decided to order some food. I ordered the wings,hot with blue cheese. My wife ordered the chicken Philly with mushrooms, peppers and onions. We both had drinks from the happy hour list The food came out quickly and looked perfect. My wings were worm but not really hot, let's say they were a little spicy but very good. The sauce is not like any I've ever tasted. Very good. My wife loved the chicken Philly sandwich. We shared her French fríes and the meal was delicious. Our servers name is Kristen and she was delightful, she is definitely an assist to the restaurant staff.

    Dirty windows at our table

    We were really excited about Thirsty Turtle opening out west on Northlake Blvd....however, the restaurant is so dirty we cant even go there anymore. The windows are smeared with food, bugs in window sills and tables on patio are always dirty. Clearly there is a lack of good management - the staff huddle around the bar area talking when they could be pitching in to improve the cleanliness. If this is what the front of the restaurant looks like, we can only imagine how bad the kitchen is. We love good music but The music is so loud you cant hear the people at your table. Hope management makes some corrections because would like to see this restaurant succeed.

The bartender straight up stole the show; Marty's great attitude, skills, and hustle were really something to see... the guy is a pro.

The toasted marshmallows was a nice touch, and the roasted nuts were good too. The caramel was thick and cold because of the ice cream, and there was no ganache.

Everything from the ambiance to the food and even the service was phenomenal. Great dining room area with both an outdoor and indoor bar. We sat with the bartender AB that immediately greeted us with waters and their menu. They are currently running a pick 2 for $15.99 menu that has some pretty great options. We had 2 meals & chose the wings, blackened shrimp po boy with the small gumbo's. Wings were super crispy, juicy, and tender. With a nice light Smokey taste. They buffalo and blue cheese sauce was actually pretty impressive. The po boy had a good amount of shrimp to bread ratio, with a nice sauce included. The gumbo had a deep rich flavor, but was not overly heavy with fatty meats. We were also informed of the happy hour oyster special, so we ended up getting a few of the rockerfella and raw. The rockerfella was amazing with melty cheese, a nice garlic flavor, & served with crispy bread slices. The raw came with crackers, lemon, wine vinegar, and a tasty cocktail sauce. Both were delicious. Marco, the manager came and spoke with us about our experience which really showed the attention to detail this restaurant offers. After sharing our story of visiting New Orleans a few years ago and bragging about the beignets, he brought us 2 out to finish our meal. I have to say, these were better than the ones I've had at cafe beignet in NOLA. They were HOT out the fryer to the point where the powdered sugar was slightly melted. Crisp outside dough but gooey soft in the center. A unreal experience to end a fantastic meal. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Luckily my sister lives 5 mins from this place but I would easily drive a hour or 2 when visiting from out of town just for this experience. Marco and AB really went above and beyond to make sure this was a special outing on a regular ole' Monday, and we could not have left happier.

From the moment we walked in, the welcome was freakin' awesome. The New Orleans vibe was absolutely on point and set the tone for a great meal. Our waitress was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the menu. She recommended her favorite dish, and it ended up becoming my favorite too. Now, I'm a country boy, so the deviled eggs just weren't my style, but everything else more than made up for it. The cornbread was incredible. Honestly, I couldn't decide if I was eating cake or cornbread--it was that good. The barbecue shrimp was outstanding and easily one of my favorite dishes (our waitress clearly has great taste!). The fried oysters were cooked to perfection, and the baked chicken was seasoned and prepared just right. The gator tail was great with the sauce. I've had scalloped potatoes many times over the years, but these were on another level--definitely some for the record books. If you're looking for great food, an authentic New Orleans atmosphere, and excellent service, Voodoo is absolutely worth the visit.

I will say I was underwhelmed by the whole experience and happy I wasn't paying for the lunch because it was not up to the quality of how expensive it was. The waitress was extremely slow on providing refills and when I asked for suggestions she only talked about the oysters and nothing outside of the starters lineup on the menu. The restaurant was pretty empty for lunch so I thought she would've been more on top of it. We ordered some oysters which were decent but I've had better on palm beach island. The crab cake was probably the only item I was thinking wow this is good. The salmon was lacking flavor and quality so I barely touched it. It was also extremely cold inside and the music was blasting. The waitress just seemed ready to keep up charging us by pushing us to order more such as coffee and dessert and not checking in on us through the meal. I would honestly skip out on this restaurant and go to La marina or another Palm beach restaurant and actually get your moneys worth.

It was cooked well and tasted pretty standard. The surprise star, though, was their jalapeño hot sauce. I need to find out where they get that because it was so good.

Parking is in a small shared lot, and the whole strip center feels a bit dated. I wasn't parked far away, just off to the side near the larger restaurant. It was a little confusing at first because lunch is actually served in the smaller space a couple of doors down. With how busy they were, I wondered why they keep that setup, but I'm sure they know what works better than I do. Overall, the service was good, and it's easy to see they have plenty of loyal customers. It just wasn't quite my vibe, and with the meal being just okay, one visit was enough for me.

The valet situation on arrival was confusing. The line was long, no one explained whether tickets were given, and several guests were just leaving their cars without guidance.

The ambiance and outdoor patio were beautiful and made for a perfect waterfront anniversary dinner. The hostesses and wait staff surprised us with an anniversary card, which was such a thoughtful touch. We debated between splitting a bottle of wine or trying the prickly pear margaritas and chose the margarita, but it was overwhelmingly sweet and tasted more like fruit punch than a cocktail. We then ordered two glasses of red wine with dinner, but they arrived about ten minutes late, after we had already eaten most of the meal, and they were served ice cold. I don't mind slightly chilled red, but this tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for days, which was disappointing. The food, however, was excellent. The crazy tuna roll, crab cakes, and ribeye were all delicious, and the ribeye was cooked perfectly. Our waitress was kind but didn't really guide us through the menu beyond saying everything was great. A bit more detail would've helped, especially since I wouldn't have ordered the margarita had I known how sweet it was. Overall, we would definitely come back. The outdoor bar is stunning, and the patio seating is perfect for a romantic, relaxing evening.
