Thornton's Fenway Grille

Thornton Fenway grille had a lot of taste items at fantastic prices. I was happily surprised by how much we got for my dollar. The place has both inside and outside seating. We sat at a clean table inside. I ordered chicken sandwich with some french fries. It was absolutely delicious. It had a great bite. Since it was affordable, my friend and I shared vanilla ice cream with strawberries. It was probably healthy dessert out of bunch. Wise tip is to add fruit to any ice cream. I highly recommend it here for quick bite. Or just relax with a drink.

Quaint brunch spot on the edge of a part of town with a wide variety of restaurants. Great crab eggs Benedict and Cajun chicken tenders. Sidewalk patio on a bustling little intersection. Great service here, and good food at affordable prices

Biked here after hearing good things about it online. We ordered Jerry's missing fingers and potato skins but they were out of potato skins so I ended up getting Buffalo fingers too. The first set of Jerry's fingers ended up seeming burnt so we sent them back and they offered to replace them with what ended up being much better cooked. Overall there was a lot of salt on everything but it was still fairly good. This is probably a good classic pub for people looking for a frosty pint and classic bar food. Not exactly perfect and not exactly for me.

A corner stone of Fenway neighborhood. I worked there 20+years ago, and just went for the first time in 10 years. Everything was just as great as when I worked there. Fantastic menu of fresh cooked, quality ingredients, cooked with care for a fantastic final product! Highly recommend the ribeye sandwich, chicken fingers, baked brie, big dig, any of the sandwiches are always great. Consistency like this is hard to come by these days!

Pretty solid American diner vibes. Reasonably priced. Eggs Benedict were wonderful. Service was really good. Would come again sometime

Food is great, service is great. The portions of food are really good. One of the best meals we had in Boston.

Went there for brunch, this place did not disappoint! Food is good. Get the frozen screwdriver! Great drink.. Nice outdoor seating when the weather is good, staff is very friendly.

The cheesy fries are amazing with loads of toppings. The Celtics burger is must try!!! The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Came here for Wednesday night trivia at 8 but they now start at 7pm so they were already at 5 of 7 rounds in. We still decided to stay since we were already there anyway! Trivia is always fun especially with more people more brains better than a few lol! Today it was just two of us. I ordered the small garden salad and it was quite a decent portion- I was expecting it to be much smaller. It was very fresh too with crisp lettuce, cucumber tomatoes. It had additional veggies too green and red bell peppers plus mushrooms and olives. I got a side of balsamic vinegar. Overall very fresh and satisfactory. The hubs ordered the iced cafe Fenway drink which had cold brew Jamieson, absolute vanilla and Kahlua. He added cream to it. Hopefully he'll still be able to sleep on time lol - he hadn't realized it was a coffee drink! The ambiance here is always very comfortable neighborhood vibes and lively especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays with trivia and happy hour respectively. Today's trivia was fiercely competitive with a rare tiebreaker needed for the third place spot. Always a good experience at Thorntons!

Very friendly, fast, and accommodating service! The restaurant was clean and organized. I definitely recommend sitting in the outdoor patio, the fresh morning air paired with the homey breakfast was very peaceful. The food itself was great and exactly what you look for in a nice diner brunch. Their menu options are simple, but there's something for everyone!

Stopped in for a quick breakfast before taking a tour of Fenway. It took a long time for our food to come out. My western omelette was good. Lots of filling and cheese. The bread was also excellent, but the breakfast potato's were bad. They were massive chunks that would to better as dinner potato's. Also they serve you water in small paper cups. The location is what you are paying for as it's right near Fenway.

Just because of the price of their Thursday night wings, you can't find anyplace more affordable in Fenway! Their wings were 3 for $1, and we ended up trying three flavors: honey mustard, honey bbq, and teriyaki. I would say 10-15 wings is perfect for me, and they are pretty average-sized. My favorite was the honey bbq, but I honestly couldn't tell that much a difference between the three flavors since they were all mixed on one plate. Service was quick and nice, just keep in mind you can't bring wings out so only order however much you can finish! For how cheap they were, I think they were super delicious and will absolutely come back to try more flavors!

Thirsty Thursday wing deal is amazing! 5/5 Love getting wings here. The deal is 3 wings for $1 with the purchase of a drink that's about $5-$6. 30 wings end up being ~$0.50 each. Not a bad deal! Wings are a bit on the smaller side and are all dumped onto one plate so they get mixed, but the flavors are not bad. There's a decent amount of variety in flavors and service is quick. The place is has a decent amount of seats with lots of windows so it can get a bit cold during winter. Typical bar scene, no frills. There's a couple spots for parking outside the place, but outside of those spots it is permit parking only. If you don't have a permit for the area there are parking spots a few blocks away down the street (~10 min walk away). Very casual spot to meet up with friends and enjoy a drink with wings!

Delicious, perfect. Thank you Thornton's for being a source of happiness in the Fenway neighborhood. I get the Eggs Oscar whenever I'm in need of brunchy deliciousness. Thank you to the excellent chefs for a great hollandaise sauce, some perfectly poached eggs, well cooked and seasoned potatoes, and the tasty crab meat.

Visiting a friend who lives next door and we wanted a quick brunch on our lunch hour. I got the eggs over easy. They eggs were cooked beautifully, the home fries were well seasoned, the toast was delicious, and the orange was a cute and yummy touch! she got the eggs Benedict & a coffee:) The staff was very friendly, it was a quiet and nice ambiance with good music (dear Maria, check yes Juliette vibes)

This was a corner spot with outdoor seating and a good-sized bar on the inside. There was a ton of Boston memorabilia hanging around too. The menu had a number of different options including a brunch menu. The service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. For my meal, I went with the Texas Round omelet ($12.95?). It contained sausage, tomatoes, peppers, and onions topped with chili and cheddar cheese. There was a side of sour cream and salsa. It also came with potatoes and toast. This was very solid. The omelet was cooked to my liking with a good amount of each topping and filing. The potatoes were huge pieces but seasoned well. I also tried the French Toast, which was great. I am not a huge fan of French Toast, but this was probably the best item I tried. It was sweet and soft, but not too soft where it was mushy. Will I go back? I would.

Super delicious and easy brunch, prompt service, and a friendly dining atmosphere-- you can't go wrong! Longwood has a lot of great options for food and I'm glad that I came across this somewhat hidden gem. When I came, it wasn't too busy on a weekend morning which was a plus. Would highly recommend coming here for brunch, they have lots of great options. Really tasty home fries. I shall be back!!

Always a go-to brunch spot as a Simmons student no matter if it's on dates or when my family visits! No shortage of delicious options - the eggs benedict is some of the best I've ever had. It's always busy but we are seated and served super timely! I've sat both inside and outside - I love both. I love taking the city in outside, but the positive vibes radiate inside as the weather gets colder. You'll have nothing but a good experience here.

Food was pretty ok here - I've had much better breakfast diner food. It's one of my favorite types of foods so I was a bit disappointed in their quality. Give it a 3 because the day before we had gone to a different diner where the home fries, entree and restaurant aesthetic were all comparably better so nothing really stood out about this guy. Probably would not come back.

Lived in the area for years and can never figure out their true hours. I can't tell if it's seasonal or what but they're closed at such random times. I'll show up 2pm on a Tuesday and they'll be closed but be open when I walk past them at 4pm. I just don't understand. I just want a club sandwich.

My friends and I frequent Thorntons Fenway Grille and I just wanted to let everyone know the food and drinks are always great, we love everything here. The environment is super cool and the waitstaff are so friendly! Thank you to all who make this one of our favorite places to go!

I live in the Fenway and this is my go-to place for breakfast. I tend to take out-of-towners here for breakfast on Saturday or Sunday. They open at ca. 10 AM, and I try to be there at 10 to get an outdoor seat. They are reasonably priced, and the young people they have managing the outside patio are always moving quick to ensure all is ok. I typically order the eggs over easy, and I like the fact the eggs are not broken when I get them. The sausage side is a real, tasty sausage. My friends who like their potato sides always notice how real potatoes are made into crispy but moist sides. I like the fact I can order rye toast as many places offer white and wheat, but I like the rye change up since I can't see myself buying a loaf. Locally owned and operated, I recommend this place unreservedly.

Always delicious food and great service! The best place to go before a Red Sox game and a Fenway staple.

While the staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating, with a brunch menu that has no fewer than six versions of Eggs Benedict you would think the kitchen could reliably poach an egg. As noted by other reviewers mine came out nearly hard-boiled, not a drop of liquid yolk. The staff offered to replace the dish and ultimately comp'ed it when I said I didn't want to waste food, but I sure was looking forward to a proper Benedict.

After living in the neighborhood for awhile and hearing good things about this restaurant, I finally checked it out for dinner and was unfortunately very disappointed. Although their lunch/dinner menu is very large and their prices are very average, the quality of the food was very mediocre. I ordered the Easy Rider chicken sandwich, which arrived at the table very differently than what I was envisioning when looking at the menu. Not only was it missing the sprouts that were supposed to be on the sandwich, but it included a ton of other miscellaneous toppings that were never detailed on the menu. The chicken itself was also very dry, bland, and tiny. After our dinner we were still a bit hungry and decided to get some dessert. Their menu had what looked to be an ice cream section, and when we checked with the waitress she confirmed that the items were indeed ice cream. So you can imagine our surprise when our mint oreo "ice cream" ended up being a milkshake! Ultimately, I think this restaurant needs some improvement to their menu descriptions. And maybe their brunch is worth checking out, but I would definitely skip their dinner as it's nothing special at all.

Came here on a Tuesday evening around 6pm as a party of two and were seated right away. There was a concert going on at Fenway Park that night so I was scared it'd be packed since they don't take reservations, but while there were already a good number of people there, there were still tables available both inside and outside. The outdoor seating area has a variety of table sizes. We were sat at a high top right out front. While there was a barrier between the tables and the street, it still felt like we were a little too close to the cars passing by. The service is friendly and the food came out really quickly. I got the Shrimp and Scallop Alfredo and a Frozen Strawberry Margarita with Onion Rings to share. The food itself wasn't spectacular, but it tasted good enough and was extremely filling. I wouldn't say there's anything that particularly sticks out about Thornton's, but it's a neighborhood staple and I would definitely come back for whenever I'm craving American food.

The food is solid for burgers and fries! I was new in town and we came here with my friend first stop! I liked how they had a variety of burgers and sandwiches !

Came here for brunch on a Saturday morning and our party seated immediately. Both indoor and outdoor dining was relatively full and the place got busier as the morning went on so overall it felt lively and friendly. One of our party members came a little late and it took them quite a long time to get them some water so the staff didn't feel very attentive. Nonetheless, they took our order quickly and the food came out pretty fast, so service wasn't too bad. The food itself was surprisingly better than I expected - I wasn't anticipating such a large portion so I found the dish pretty filling and it tasted okay. The potatoes were a little soggy and bland, but the eggs and bagel were pretty good. The cream cheese wasn't really spread across the entirety of the bagel so the bites felt uneven in terms of flavor, but the hollandaise made up for it. Overall I found the meal to be pretty good for its price and quality. If you're looking for a decent brunch spot with a lot of different options, don't hesitate to come to Thorntons!

It was fine. We hit this place on our way from BU over to Northeastern. My kids seemed to like their burgers. No complaints. My wife had no complaints about her side salad. She said it was bigger than expected. I, however, had the veggie pocket. It was fine. My complaint is that the avocado was not ripe. I really like avocado, and this was firm. You can't miss that when you're preparing a dish, so they obviously knew it wasn't ripe. That's very frustrating. Though my wife and kids did not complain about the lemonade, it looked weak. You have to pay for refills, but they didn't tell my wife. She wouldn't have ordered another had she known.

This is the spot to go to before a Sox game. Avoid the major crowds but still be right in walking distance for a less crowded brunch before the games. Great staff and vibes as well! Stay eatin!

Went for breakfast. Food was good. Not much of a breakfast place but I bet a good pub to watch a game.

Very tasty food! Good for brunch! They also have gluten free choices. I have been there several times and every time I found something I love.

Excellent neighborhood bar/restaurant! Delicious sandwiches, burgers, brunch dishes, generous portions. Friendly waitstaff & bartenders. Nice patio area with plenty of seating in season. Perfect location for pre- and post-Fenway events.

This is a much needed casual, affordable, sit-down restaurant in Fenway. There is so much good takeout in the area but not enough casual sit-down restaurants, so I really appreciate Thornton's. The menu is very large and family-friendly. Nothing too "special" about the food items, but everything tastes great. I really like the brunch too, and there are a lot of drink options. Great patio in the summer, too.

UPDATE I came for Thirsty Thursday. They have $1 for 4 wings and $5 margaritas (or $6 if frozen, which is a slushie consistency). Pro tip: the Thirsty Thursday menu only lists frozen strawberry margs but according to our waitress, they can technically make any of the flavors frozen! Just ask them :) I came with 3 friends after work, at around 7:45pm. The line was pretty long (about an hour wait) to be seated indoors, but my friends and I decided to eat outside since there was no wait for that. It was around 40°F probably, so not too bad, although my hands were frozen by the end of the meal. I ordered 4 teriyaki, 4 honey bbq, and 4 buffalo, as well as a strawberry margarita. The wings came out pretty fast. 12 wings was the perfect amount to fill me up. My favorite flavor was the buffalo. The margarita was sweet and fruity, just the way I like my drinks. I highly recommend coming for Thirsty Thursday! Such a great deal and everything was so good.

They host trivia here on Wednesday's and my friends and I have gone a couple times. The first time my friends got sandwiches, I wasn't really hungry so I had asked for a water to start. The water did not come so I had to go into the bar to ask for one. When I then asked the sever about different drinks they had he said they didn't have the ones I was asking for even though they were on the menu. I don't think he knew the menu. The trivia has also been kind of hit or miss here. They only have one speaker for both inside and outside tables so it's really hard to hear. They try to do two rounds but sometimes the first one takes a really long time.

Disappointing! I didn't have high expectations to begin with, but the dining experience was worse. First off, my friends and I dined for a late lunch after a baseball game since it was close by. We got seated immediately, but service was ridiculously slow and inattentive. I understand that there may have been shortage in staff, but the right attitude was not there either. Our food came out nearly half an hour later, and they got our order mixed up. We all ordered burgers, and honestly super mediocre burger, dry patty. The atmosphere is also very old and traditional. Wouldn't come back honestly.

Great spot for burgers and snacks! The burger was so juicy and delicious. It also came with free onion rings as a side!!

Crunchy potatoes covered in paprika. Eggs were ok nothing special. Everything was a bit cold. Ordered a frozen screwdriver that came AFTER our food was delivered. Never had a waiter serve a drink on the table oozing over the side. The drink was tasteless. If u r looking for a nice sidewalk brunch in Boston, this is not it.

Good food, nothing remarkable. Friendly service, although not as attentive as it could have been. I ordered a burger and it took an usually long time to get mustard. Nice street side dining area.

First time to dine out since the outbreak of covid-19. They open the patio for dining and comply with the guidance, such as one-time use menu, enough social distancing between tables, condiments provided upon request, all the staff wearing face covers, etc. It would be even better if there is a bottle of hand sanitizer on the table. Food is still as good as it was before. It's just so nice to enjoy the summer time, dine out, and see people outside again

This was our first time in Boston me and my friend. So stopped into Thornton's Fenway Grille because it was so close to the stadium. When we came the restaurant was pretty empty. We went up to the bar and our orders were taken pretty quickly. Our bartender was awesome. She was sweet, talkative and helpful since we aren't from the area. She recommended a bunch of things to see and do in and around the area. When our food arrived it was cooked perfectly. We both had the burgers and onion rings. It also came with a side salad. We also had a few shots of patron and a couple glasses of black label. All of which were good. We both enjoyed everything. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, especially if your hungry and an out of towner!

We randomly decided to eat here as we passed it while on a walk. We were seated quite literally next to the door and had to ask to be moved because it was a chilly day and the cold wind hit us every time the door opened. The server was clearly annoyed with us thereafter. The menu had a lot of options and had some fun names. I ordered the Alexander Eggs Benedict and was pretty disappointed. The eggs and the hollandaise sauce were fine but the bagel was a little too burnt to be enjoyable. I always look forward to potato sides but these were just not it. Hardly seasoned and undercooked to the point where I had to use excessive force to get a fork into just one. My parents weren't blown away by their dishes either. Not a fan of this place.

Would've been a high star review, love the thursday wings and marg nights, food isn't anything crazy, but it's a good cheap deal. Staff is usually nice, but picture this, you and the lads/gals just got back to campus on Boston, you've missed the crew, and you wanna go to your usual place. You pull up. Your waiter is a phenomenal guy (shoutout Alec) super nice, the margs were the same as ever, and then you see your wings coming. Instead of the super nice and respectful waiter you had earlier, you see a banshee crawl out of the 9th circle of hell and claw her way over to you, looking like an unmade bed, and like she hasn't smiled since the atom bomb was dropped. This knuckle dragging geriatric, later identified as "Tess," hobbles over holding a tray full of wings, and places them on the table asking who ordered which wings. As she named the name of each wing that she brought over to us, we stared blankly, as none of us ordered any of the wings she just named. This was our fatal mistake. See, staring in silence as Tess tells you the names of wings that you did not order unleashes the beast. Like a wolf during a full moon, her inner rage mode was activated as she snarls at us, "who ordered these wings? It says right here on the ticket that this table ordered these wings!" Giving us disrespectful stares and a condescending tone. We swiftly correct her, informing her of what we ~actually~ ordered, and she stared back at us as if we were a gaggling bunch of hillbilly idiots. She snarkily replied that the order that we just said, which was entirely different from what SHE just said, was in fact, what she just said. The absolute disrespect she treated us with was utterly humiliating and left a poor taste in all of our mouths. Looking to avoid confrontation, however, we accepted her lies as we accepted the plates of wings. Tess gracelessly plopped them in front of us, mumbling about our incompetence. She then continued, heralding the crowd as if she was the sole braincell amongst a crowd of homunculi, asking "who ordered the 3 teriyaki wings?" The problem? No one at the table ordered 3 teriyaki wings. One of us, however, DID order 9 teriyaki wings, and corrected her by saying that he "ordered 9 teriyaki wings." This recent escapee of the retirement home, who obviously left her reading glasses and schizophrenia medication at home, snapped back at him "I said 9! That's what I said!" Ladies, gentlemen, and third party genders, I'm sure I don't have to remind you that she, in fact, did not say 9, but instead said 3. All the same, my friend who ordered the teriyaki wings MUST'VE deserved the lambasting of a lifetime, because that's exactly what he received from this gray-haired troglodyte thusly named "Tess." We survived this absolute ordeal served to us by Tess, and to say the least, the vibe at the table was absolutely tarnished. We were all either embarrassed, fuming, or frankly too upset with the encounter to continue our nice, friendly, conversation. We made the fatal mistake of ordering a second round of margs, as the she-demon Tess returned with a tray of margs, plopping them down on the table, spilling quite a few splashes of the precious few ounces of margarita in the minuscule paper cups, and then instructed us to "grab whichever drink, as we obviously can't figure out what we ordered," completely unprompted, as we didn't even have a chance to say a word to her in this second godless encounter. God obviously must be on vacation for allowing such a woman like Tess to continue interacting with the general populous. Once our regular waiter returned, I asked him about the walking corpse who delivered our wings and second round of drinks, a question i soon regretted as I witnessed the zest for life leave his precious eyes. That alone was enough to tell me how this Tess woman treats her staff. My table of trusted cohorts and I soon agreed that we would not be returning to Thortons anytime soon, as we felt absolutely disgraced to be treated this way as guests who felt as they did nothing wrong. Why would we claim wings that we didn't order? Obviously that must be a crime at Thorton's Fenway grill, as we all feel our souls still being judged and weighed by Tess for the sin of not claiming food we did not order. Surely we deserved this mistreatment, as we are just lowly vermin in a city ran by the iron fist of Tess. The only logical explanation is that Tess recieved some form of "reverse Christmas-Carol" in which she was visited by three ghosts who convinced her to be the absolute worst person imaginable. 2 stars cus I kinda do be liking those blue margs tho.

Thornton's is a Fenway staple. Laid-back atmosphere with good food. I'm a huge fan of their chicken sandwiches. Their brunch is also really solid (try the chicken and waffles!). They used to have the best potato skins, but they've been off the menu for awhile (I think supply chain shortage?). My husband and I are mourning that loss - seriously, they were so good and I will be ecstatic if they ever come back on the menu! This is a great place to come for a casual meal. We're here regularly. Also, the patio is fantastic in the summer.

This place is exactly what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar. We stopped by for trivia and the place filled up pretty quickly with a mix of college kids and older locals. Service was excellent. Food was nothing special, except the fries, which were hot, crispy, and delicious. Apps were basic fried food. Wide selections of sandwiches and the two we got were good. Brownie a la mode for dessert was excellent. Definitely will be heading back here

Very average and basic neighborhood pub. Food is very underwhelming and expensive for what it is. I ordered a burger( medium), came out well done! Very very chewy with old wilted lettuce. I usually like small neighborhood divey bars, and have no qualms eating from non fancy basic menu, but the quality has to be right. Our server however was charming and attentive. Hence the three stars.

Eyes, Eyes,Eyes ! This review is dedicated to the wonderful sparkling shiniest Greenish eyes I had ever seen, the food was great, but having the opportunity to see a Waitress with such amazing eyes surely lighted up my day. Her eyes were radiant with so much inner light, Greenish going into yellowish, it was a very unique color and shine in her eyes. I told my brother and he told her. I admire the beauty in all, from an artistic point of view, I can see and recognize amazing beauty and colors around me. This lady eyes are like a dream come true kind of, such magical eyes ! The food: Was great of course, my brother picked this place for breakfast and the two days we visited was excellent food and service. I really didn't know someone could mix Mimosa and Coffee, well, my brother does that and much more, talk about one on one family time. The things one learn about family. The outdoor seating is great, I liked the way the bar is situated and the seats in the indoor part of the restaurant. This is definitely a lovely place to eat and one of my brother's top favorite.

Food is below par Drinks are overly priced and non professional bartenders (wait staff just pouring) Wait staff. Unfortunately used to be great but now are stressed and unpleasant. The Owners girlfriend with the white hair should retire she is unpleasant and rude. When your paying $14 for a patron margarita and it comes out diff on every round it's a problem. Fenway needs a good friendly lower priced pub. THIS not it!

Although growing up in Boston, this was my first visit toThorton's and it was awesome! We had the Tuna melt which was outstanding and very New England. The burgers also look amazing and will try those next visit. We met long time owner Marty who was very friendly and made you feel at home. The kind of guy you want to have some beers with and just listen to his stories. If you are headed to a Sox game I highly recommend stopping into the neighborhood bar, grab a burger and say hi to Marty! PS - only bummer is I got a parking ticket while there :(

I used to come here frequently, but after the incident this morning, I will likely never return. We were seated at our table and put our order in, after that we grabbed some jam packets from the jam container on the table. After I had grabbed a few, baby roaches started running out of the container and all over the table. There were at least 10 at the bottom of the jam container. They scattered all around the table and restaurant. The staff was apologetic, but we left after that. At least check the bottom of the jam container if you go here.

I am a big fan of Thornton's. I love smaller, family-owned restaurants. Yes, it is not "fine-dining', but I find that Thornton's has a large menu with a variety of different options. If you want a healthy meal, you can do that here, and if you want to pig out, that's an option too! The staff has always been very polite, and they also offer trivia nights which is fun! I am a big fan of their pasta dishes, specifically the chicken and broccoli - nice and creamy - yum. They have good grilled options - seafood that is done very well (not always the case at non-seafood restaurants as we all know). I love Thornton's, they have a lot of different tasty options at a fair price.

Great place to go before a game or concert at Fenway. Great beers and sandwiches and a nice outdoor patio!

Wow, talk about top knotch service! We sat outside in the patio and the staff not only gave us warm blankets but also put up 3 heaters surrounding us! We enjoyed a lovely cozy WARM dinner experience. Thank you Alex/Thorton's!

$5 for a glass of water is insane!!!! Server said it was only because they were having their "Thursday wing night special" they claim it's bottled water but it's just tap water on ice, everything else was good. But paying $5 for ice water is insane, do they think they're inside the park?

My friends and I used to go to Thorton's multiple times a week for brunch, dinner, and drinks. Typically, we had nice experiences with staff, food, and prices. Our last visit, however, was a bad experience and I will most likely not be returning again. We went on Thursday to get the 3 wings for $1 deal. Such a good deal...Well, it's actually not. I ordered 5$ worth of wings and 2 cups of taps water. My friend ordered a soda and wings as well. When we looked at the bill, i was charged 10$ for 2 cups of TAP WATER (isn't that free everywhere.. like legally)? My friend was also charged 5$ for her soda, which is ridiculous but whatever it's not tap water at least. We spoke to the manager who rudely said it was "a part of the deal," which I was not aware of because the 2 previous times I wasn't charged for tap water and our waitress neglected to mention I'd be charged $5 for tap water. I would've ordered a beer or soda at least? I told the manager that we didn't know and we weren't charged for tap water last time. She told us that we didn't spend any money and wasted the table (there were multiple other tables open, and no line the whole time we were there). Clearly, she doesn't care about her customers and doesn't know what a deal is. Moral of the story: if you go for $1 wing night, at least order a beer because your water will be the same price. Also, you may want to ask for the wings heated up because they come out cold every time.

This place is around the corner from my office, so I've been there a couple of times. Waiters are usually very nice. I've been here a few times for the Thursday 25 cent wings + $5 Margaritas. It's pretty awesome to walk out of the restaurant paying less than $10 for food and a drink!! I've tried the wings with buffalo, honey BBQ, and BBQ sauces and they were all great. We went for brunch on a weekday once and we were slightly disappointed. My coworkers who got eggs Benedict had almost hard eggs, the yolk was not runny at all. I had the Texas Round omelet which was good because there was lots of flavor, but the egg was a bit dry. I'd say Thortons is a gem for their Thursday wings. Not so much for weekday brunch. But I will maybe come back to try weekend brunch one of these days!
