★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Cole · Nov 2025

Bar staff was friendly and attentive. Food is good, but it took over an hour to get it from being ordered. An entire table got their order before us and half our group was done before the last people got there food. They also charge for bottled water and won't give tap for some reason. This place would benefit from asking if people are ording food and giving a heads up on how long orders are going to take. Getting part of somones order out first is another idea. Won't eat here again unless they can get food out quicker.

Off the main road, gotta look for it, but oh man is it worth it! The ribeye steak sandwich was fantastic, not fatty, and the sweet potato waffle fries were great. We also had a double smash burger with cheese which was amazing! The Old Fashioned was spot on as well. Will definitely be coming back!

I don't know what was better the staff or the food. Best long island I've had in a long time. I had the special; jalapeno smash burger... phenomenal. My husband had their BBQ burger and said it was fantastic.

09/27/25 - Food Ordered 5:58PM Estimated time 40 minutes Left Thirsty Wrangler 7:34PM The food is great but watch out for the wait. The fella on the phone said it would be about 40 minutes and it was closer to 1-1/2 hours. This is my 1st experience with the Thirsty Wrangler and found they don’t respect your time as a customer. If you have 2 hours available for a burger and drink, this is your place. We will try again - hopefully they can be a little more accurate with their estimated wait times…

Was just served the best burger, ever. I had the Smash Burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato and pickle. Isaac was the Chef. The burger was super tasty with just the right amount of seasoning. I paired the burger with the pub fries and the Feather in a Hurricane IIIPA by O’so Brewing Company. All good.
