Feels like being on a plaza in Mexico, and no extra prices for the locale. Listen to live music at the bandstand all summer from the balcony! Good local favorites on the menu, and an extensive bar

The service here was awesome. Our server and another women who took us to our table were just the sweetest. We sat outside in the heated patio overlooking town square which was awesome. We got the steak nachos and they were delicious. We ate every last bite. We also got the Smokey cocktail (I think smoke angel) which was very good. Great vibe and great service. Awesome to stop in for a cocktail and quick bite to eat.

Absolutely an amazing staff with great service. The manager Rick went above and beyond for us today calling a local liquor store to inquire if they carried a beer that we fell in love with there. We highly recommend them and will without a doubt return.

So good!! Jose was a great server, very attentive and helpful with the menu and suggestions. BEST long island ice tea we've had. The chicken enchiladas and sliders were perfect meals! MUST try place in Santa Fe!

The food here is very good. The service could do with some more training sessions. The location is very convenient and if you sit on the patio, you can overlook the main town square of Ol Santa Fe. I would recommend this restaurant for no group larger than 6 or 8 since the service and wait time can take longer than expected.

Hayden was my server and he was absolutely amazing! I say that as a past server myself. He was attentive but not pushy. His beer recommendations were on point and he was genuinely kind. Top notch service. Would come back just to see him. Great local beer selections! Great view of the mountains from outside. If you want a good beer to sit and relax with exceptional service, see Hayden when you’re here.

Stopped on a Friday afternoon to have a drink on their rooftop patio! Even on a chilly afternoon, they had the heaters going so guests felt warm and toasty. My boyfriend and I each had a margarita (he had the house, I had the raspberry). Both were tasty and affordable! Service was quick and friendly.. we’ll definitely be coming back for a meal soon.

Questions & Answers

It is popular all the time. Usually, waiting time is less than 15 minutes. You should have called him earlier. My waitor also forgot my food on the counter, but got it to me immediately I asked.

Yes we are open our regular business hours from opening at 11:30 am to the kitchen closing at 9 pm. The bar stays open dependent on business levels. Thanks Julius. I hope to see you tomorrow night. Rick

The Thunderbird does call ahead seating. Which means we do not leave tables sitting empty. When you arrive if your table is not ready, you are moved to the front of the wait list if you did call ahead seating. The patio is 1st come 1st serve. The best strategy is to grab a seat at the bar if the patio is full and put your name on the patio wait list. We turn tables pretty quickly. We look forward to being at your service.
