    Everything. Just get everything. Lamb lollies, kangaroo burgers, octopus tacos, burrata, caramel, yadayadayada, and come during happy hour! Service is warm/attentive, food is fresh and mostly non-GMO!

    I went for their entree, the Lamb Lollies. It was extremely flavorful and cooked well! The side salad and sweet potatoes was a great addition. Also, this restaurant is gluten-free friendly!

    Grilled veggies are small but great. Aussie burger is tasty & juicy. Fish & chips have tender fish & wonderful sauces to go with it. The star would be the triple T tiramisu. Get it, so good!

    The desserts are amazing. Cocktails amazing. Waiters are helpful and friendly. Reservations for brunch. The best omelette I’ve had. My new go-to for brunch and dinner with groups

    The Tripe T, a Tim Tam tiramisu, satisfies a sweet tooth. The caramel can wreak havoc on your teeth. There is outdoor seating perfect for people watching.

    Great experience - wait staff are super attentive and accommodating, and the chef personally came out to ask how things were. Food was great and big portions - beware how big the calamari app is

    "Australian flair". Australian-sourced lamb lollies are served over caramelized pumpkin, & the fish for the fish & chips is ginger-beer-battered. Cocktails - "Hooly Dooly caipirinha" and the "Gabba" Leggi tutto

    I'm vegetarian so I had the eggplant parmesan on their recommendation but it was the best eggplant parm I've had. They almost made it lasagna style. They make their cheeses and breads inhouse!

    Gluten free calamari is perfect every time. Kangaroo burger with the lot is phenomenal. Australian beer is delicious! Staff is incredibly courteous and attentive. Lady and I will certainly come back.

    Everybody raves about the kangaroo meat but I had a seafood special that was out of this world. Portions are large but save room for dessert! The tiramisu is one of a kind.

    We took a bite, then before I knew it we almost finished both our appetizers. Highly recommend the fish and chips with basil yogurt dip and strawberry, spinach and goat cheese salad!

    The G'Day burger is something else. Especially when that something else is kangaroo meat! Yes, explore the tasty exotic goodness not even Poo Bear can even protect and always get the Fontina on top!

    The quinoa burger was okay. I should've listened to the waiter and got the cheesy eggplant. The bread was as flavorless as the quinoa. The fries helped a ton. Order a main blueberry soda!

    Had a great dinner @TheThirstyKoala - Delicious and affordable 12oz grass-fed steak - Really friendly staff/owners - Super close to Astoria-Ditmars train stop. Getting the Kangaroo special next time!

    The best service with a friendly and down to earth staff. Had the scallops and beef burger with the lot--both amazing. Gonna try the triple t dessert next time!

    Kangaroo meat is very lean with only 2% fat and it's rich in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. The kangaroo meat at Thirsty Koala it's free range and sourced from Queensland, Australia. Leggi tutto

    If you get anything with kangaroo be sure to smother it in their goat cheese. The combination is to die for. And the Mexicans cola is the best cola I've ever had.

    The steak tacos are delicious. The 50s music playing in the background is also quote enjoyable! Great first experience at the Thirsty Koala!

    Great customer service! We had three waiters/waitresses, the chef, and the owner stop by the table. Definitely recommend the lamb lollies, roo burgers, and kakadu crostini.

    Recommend the Kangaroo Loin. And for those who are GF they can make the Fish and Chips GF. They were excellent with the Thai Basil Yogurt Dip.

    Brunch comes with a mimosa! And reasonably priced. Also try the kangaroo with their goat cheese (made in house), so tender and better for you!

    If it is your first time and unsure what to order, stay with appetizers. I recommend the scallops wrapped with bacon, and the lamb mini chops.

    Delicious food and great variety of not-your-average fare. Friendly service, but very very slow. Been twice and enjoyed, but waited near an hour for food both times.

    Get the lamb lollies. They come with some unearthly roasted caramel used squash. Also, the Triple T (Tim tam tiramisu) for dessert is outrageous.

    The scallops wrapped in pancetta are what love tastes like. I could eat these until my heart explodes.

    Fish & chips is tasty. The fish is flakey & buttery. The signature burger is very filling, but also very delicious.

    They make these Australian coconut caramel bites. I don't know what they are called but they are insane. This is what I would use to conquer a nation....

    The salmon is the best I've had in Astoria, such amazing flavor. They don't skimp you on the portion either.

    Eh, kangaroo burger fell apart quickly and seemed it would have been better in stew or filet... service and appetizers were great though!!!

    The things that you've never tried will be better than things you typically eat. Step out of your comfort zone, try the kangaroo.

    Service was Good. But the Kitchen is slow, took over 30mins for our food (Filet Mignon & Fish-&-Chips) to come out. Being there were only 2 other Tables (4 Diners max) in the restaurant.
