Text - A great addition to Tempe Marketplace, The Thirsty Lion provides a great atmosphere, a wonderful selection of beers on tap, and reasonable prices. Plus the food is pretty wonderful (and with a great happy hour, you can't go wrong here). \n\nWith an expansive selection of indoor seating, you can choose to sit at a high top, at the bar, or at a comfy table indoors. If you'd like to experience their outdoor seating, you won't be disappointed with the several fire pits and lovely chairs.\n\nThe service can be spotty (previously Maria-Maria, they're still a fairly new establishment) but the great atmosphere and food makes up for it. Moderately priced, it's well worth venturing in for a drink if it's cold outside.

Text - the most fun i've had at a buffet ever! maybe cuz of the champagne brunch which means unlimited mimosas. \n\nthe wait was a bit long, but i think worth it. it was 27.99 for the champagne brunch. there were eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, duck, prime rib, roast beef, sausages....the sushi was lame. really good seafood soup!!! and we added mussels in it. OMG soooo delicious. the shrimp and crab legs tasted fresh. their creme brulee wass tastyyy. they had a lot of good things, and fruits and ice cream. of course we had to drink our money worth of mimosas so of course we got a little giddy. but definitely fun! we were all extremely full and satisfied.

Text - I think this restaurant may have an identity crisis, I'm not sure if it wants to be a Chipotle or a Faustos/Robertos of sorts. Either way it fails miserably. While sitting here at my table I have watched the cashier touch the sour cream bottles multiple times while the person on the line is touching them while making the food, a guy making street tacos dip something in a sauce bare handed and eat it and the bartender call a girl \""big booty hoe\"" I quote. Now that I told you about the show lets talk about the food..........oh yeah nothing special there. It taste like well nothing. Nothing stood out from the burrito, the nachos or the corn.

Text - My family and I were very disappointed with this restaurant. The food was not appetising and tasted bland. The dishes we chose were very standard but didn't taste as good as Taco Bell. Plus, we all had stomach aches afterward for the rest of the night. The wait staff was disinterested in us. We never got more chips or water. They never took our plates away after the meal. We had to wait to get our bill. We won't be back, mexican food is not that hard to make tasty, I just don't understand how they missed the mark so badly.

Considreing the above, classify the following: If it was possible to put a negative star rating I would. When dining at island sushi on 11/5 the service was absolutely horrible. Food took forever to get, and when they did bring out my meal (Ox tail soup), the server did not give me any utensils ( and there were no utensils by the soda machine to get on my own). I asked the person at the counter for a to go box and it literally took him 10 mins to give one to me ( and I was standing at the counter the whole time). I understand that they are currently renovating, but that is no excuse for horrible service. I doubt I'll be coming back anytime soon.
