Great hidden gem in Cape Coral. Mom and Pop type restaurant with great seafood, everything is made from scratch, and the prices are SO reasonable. My wife and I had the scallops and a stuffed lobster tail/shrimp combo and both were great. Bill was 70 with an extra bowl of soup, 2 glasses of wine, and 2 beers. Tina was also an AMAZING server and honestly one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Put this on your list of places to visit if in/near Cape Coral

First time at Thirsty's and we were immediately greeted and seated. Tina was our server and she was excellent. Even though she was quite busy, she was on top of everything. Had Sloppy Joe's and Mac and cheese and enjoyed it very much. Hubby had bacon cheeseburger and fries and he also enjoyed his meal. Reasonably priced. Will definitely go back

Stop! Do not pass up this fabulous restaurant. The outside does not match the quality of the food. My fish stuffed with crab was divine! Prices are so reasonable, half of others in the area that serve lesser quality of seafood. My hubby ordered a seafood trio, fish shrimp and clam strips all for 14.95. can you believe that? Everything was so delicious, and dessert was delicious key lime pie. Cannot wait to go back and explore more of their menu. When you stop in, tell Tina that Bonnie sent you.

Took Walter to Thirsty's for his birthday dinner. The oldest restaurant in Cape Coral. It's still the best!

Pat was our server through our extremely delightful meal of Crab Stuffed Fish and Baked Salmon. The sides really made the meal shine though including the Carrot Salad and the Cole Slaw. It seems everything is made fresh to order and so delightful. We will definitely be back. Awesome.

Newly renovated, very clean. Service is great. Food is awesome and extremely affordable. Had the best sauteed scallops I've ever had! Love their old-fashioned cole slaw. Also their battered onion rings.

This was my first time I ate at Thirsty's and the food was absolutely one of the best seafood dinners I had in Cape Coral. I ordered broiled scallops and my husband ordered the fish and shrimp....delicious...the macaroni salad was awesome too. Our server, Tina, was so sweet and friendly. Service was great, excellent food and very reasonable prices. You have got to try this restaurant.

Well I found this place while sitting in my room wondering if there were any mom and pop shops around. I read the web site and in a narrative found some of the foods they cooked. With all the seafood listed on the dinner menu I asked for the lunchtime burger and they delivered. I love seafood but today just wanted a burger. Before I went there I called and asked if they had the cold beverage I liked. They did. So I walked about a half mile and enjoyed a nice homemade burger. Everyone there was awesome, polite and receptive. The food was great, the facility was still recovering from the hurricane, so I ordered extra food to go and left a nice tip hoping I could help out the family owned business.
