"Stopped here with my family while we were paddling the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. It was the best stop of the whole 740 mile canoe trip. We had odd dietary requests, they were super friendly and accommodating. Their burgers and fries were the best. The gluten free rolls on the burgers were really good too. If you are ever nearby, be sure to stop there for a meal."

"So happy we went to The Thirsty Burger and enjoyed fresh seafood. We were first timers and the seafood entrees were specials. Very friendly owner and waitresses. Unique beer filling station that allows a full measure of brew. Next time will try a couple of the interesting burgers, many to choose from. Go and enjoy!"

"Stopped in and had the grilled chicken sandwich. Tasted great. Also the fries were delicious. And I'm not a big fan of fries..Also had young people being servers. And it's nice to see them learning from working."

"Had lunch with my Grandfather, Uncle and my Aunt. I had no complaint for the bacon cheeseburger and it filled me up. Very large cheeseburger. The restaurant also had a patio and the staff seemed very welcoming and friendly especially to me, my grandfather and my uncle who has never been to this establishment before! I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, probably the best food in Richford! I only captured a picture of the balcony what has a beautiful view of the river, wish I would’ve captured the food."

"I was expecting more of a restaurant than a bar. The food was more on par with a diner food, it's not bad but it wasn't great either. I couldn't find any hours listed outside and they definitely are not open 24 hours."
