This was our first visit to this new restaurant near our home, and I made a reservation to celebrate my wife's birthday. Abby was our server and did a great job to make our dining experience extra special. We ordered the mushrooms as an appetizer and a wood-fired pizza for dinner and both were excellent. We will definitely return again this summer when I'm sure it'll be even better with live entertainment, etc.

In my reservation I suggested I wanted to sit on couches but it wasn't a requirement. When I arrived they didn't have couches left which was not a big deal to me but they offered moving furniture around for me. I declined and took an available table but was very impressed by the service and how they were willing to go above and beyond for me.

It's kind of hitter missed with this place depending on what time of the day you go and what day of the week you go. We went there on a Saturday when they had open miwhich. We did not know so that probably didn't help. Our food took over an hour. They have pretty good food but I don't know what happened last night. For the most part, I would recommend this place. I wouldn't recommend going during a really busy time.

Very cool atmosphere! Awesome selection of drinks. Roasted chicken was amazing! Asparagus was soggy and needs some serious help. Would love to see a steak on the menu. Will definitely return!

We are always a little concerned when we read poor reviews about a place, but we decided to try it anyway. Really happy we did! Really near place. Our service was great and the wood fired pizzas were awesome. The Mack ‘n Cheese needed to be a little saucier, but that's seriously my only complaint. Can't believe this place isn't busier. Will go again when it gets warm to try the outdoor activities they offer as well!

We absolutely love this place. The food, especially their fire grilled pizza, is delicious. I also highly recommend the artichoke dip, you will not be disappointed. The service is always prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere is great. They oftentimes have live entertainment. But there is seating for everyone, which is amazing. Highly recommend you check this place out.

I ordered the Truffle Mushroom Pizza and I was not let down, it was so yummy with the wood fire taste and the toppings... yummmmm. My husband ordered the Shrimp Penne... that was really good too, big shrimp and good flavor. As an appetizer we got Cajun shrimp dip with homemade pita chips (those were the bomb) most excellent. Will deff be back.

Winner, winner! What a great spot for a wonderful meal! Had a fantastic dinner and our server Julie was amazing! My wife had the half chicken which she said rivals any restaurant in the greater GR area. I had the chicken pesto wood fired pizza that was the bomb! The restaurant is beautifully furnished and the service was A+.

The drinks were delicious! Kudos to Avery! I got the Blackberry Sangria and the Summer Burst. Thursday is trivia night and Jordan does a great job!! So fun!The only reason I gave four stars is that when you first enter it's a little bright. It could be a tad dimmer.Dietary restrictions: Would love to see a couple more vegan and gluten free options.

Only ate here once. Owner was yelling at waitstaff. Table next to us was very intoxicated (to the point that one of the gentleman walked into the woman’s bathroom) and obnoxious the entire evening affecting all the tables around us. Turned out to be the owners table.We were each charged an $8 entertainment fee that when we questioned were met with ‘it’s posted so too bad’ (small printed sign was on the door—easily missed though). Our table of 7 all paid separately and were each charged this fee. Food was decent, service was slow but clearly overworked and under appreciated and the owner complexly ruined the entire experience. We will not be going back ever again under the same management.

Am I the only one who chuckles at this business name of Thirsty Buddy? I guess it made somewhat sense back when there was a dog in the logo but now it is just comical to me with the black & gold TB. Anyways, the pizza was fine but nothing great that you could not find at a million other places (for a better price). The “charcuterie board” is a disgrace to what real charcuterie is and the female owner came off as extremely pretentious & disagreeable. We will not be going back to Thirsty Buddy but thank-you for the laughs at least!

This is our new go to when in the Gun Lake area! Its a great place to come with friends, family or just a date night. Drinks are good- really enjoyed the Julies Old fashion and the martinis went down smooth! Fire roasted pizza really good but the beef short ribs were awesome! We also enjoyed watching pickle ball matches from the outside patio! To top it off the night they brought out marshmallows to roast on a flame- perfect touch for summer night!

Our kids have VBS this week, since Thirsty Buddy is 18+ the hubby and I took the opportunity to have a date night. I got the Maui Wowie pizza and my husband got the Meat Lovers. For drinks I had the dragonberry mohito and my husband had a coffee martini. Our food and drinks both were really good. The restaurant is clean and the decor is upscale. Our server was nice and helpful, he checked on us enough but not too much which I like. Good food nice atmosphere.
