"I recently dined at Thirsty Restaurant on Vincennes Street in Cape Coral and wanted to share my experience. I opted for the cold platter, which came with a cup of their house-made chili. The chili was decent but could have used some hot sauce to bring out its flavor. The cold platter included a nice variety of chilled items, such as your choice of egg salad or chicken salad, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, a dipping sauce, olives, and assorted vegetables. It made for a light and refreshing meal on a hot day, perfect for anyone looking for something healthy. It was simple yet satisfying, priced at around $9, and you won't find this dish offered many other places. I genuinely enjoyed it. The service was excellent as well. I finally made my way to Thirsty, the oldest restaurant in Cape Coral. Although it's not upscale, the warm atmosphere made me feel like a regular right away, even though it was my first visit. I was seated promptly and handed a menu, and before I could really peruse it, my server enthusiastically informed me of the daily special. I decided to go with the homemade beef barley soup and the stuffed fish, which was also a daily special. The beef barley soup was fantastic—served steaming hot and full of flavor, with so much beef and barley that I could hardly fit in any crackers! The portion of stuffed fish was generous and came with rice and a shrimp-filled sauce, which was outstanding, though a bit saucy for my preference. Ultimately, the portion sizes were so large that I needed a doggy bag for my leftovers. If you're in the mood for some classic American fare, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It’s more suited for traditional diners than those seeking adventurous cuisine, like myself."

I dined here for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. The server was incredibly friendly and attentive to my needs. The seafood I had was fantastic with generous portions, and I really enjoyed their homemade ranch dressing. The coffee was also excellent.

Pat was our server. She was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The stuffed fish with asparagus sauce (shown in pic) was delicious. The coleslaw and carrot salad were incredible. They make everything in house and homemade. The only thing I didn'tlike was the seating. It wasn't warm and fuzzy. The tabletops were silver metal and cold. Not a fan of that. Music was played onAlexa every now and then but not consistently. Will go back.
