1 /5 Jen Studer: I regularly go to lunch with co-workers downtown and we decided to try somewhere new, so we walked to Thirsty First and had one of the worst restaurant experiences. There were 5 of us and we all ordered food and an appetizer. The jalapeno poppers took a while to arrive, and they were very burnt and room temperature. When our food arrived, everything that could possibly be burnt or overdone was. The bacon on my sandwich was burnt to a crisp completely black (all the black you see in my pic is the bacon), the fries and sweet potato fries were burnt (but room temperature), and the chicken in sandwiches and salad was overdone and chewy. The cobb salad was only lettuce, dressing, bacon bits, blue cheese, avocado, and one tiny tomato. When we asked about the egg that should be in it, our waitress (Margo) said they were out of eggs. Besides the food being so bad, we all ran out of water while we were eating it and couldn’t get anyone’s attention. We were the only ones there besides one couple sitting outside. One of us finally walked up to the bar where the waitress was staring down at her phone and asked for a refill and the rest of us never got offered a refill. A couple of us wanted a drink besides water but were never asked. Never did anyone ask us how the food was or if we needed anything else. A different lady came over and cleared the table and then came back and set down one single check without saying a word. We were all paying separately and had to find our waitress and ask her to separate them. I have hardly ever left a bad review, but our experience was especially bad. We all agreed there are many other places to eat downtown, and we will not be back here.
