Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend. It did not disappoint! Such a great place in a smaller community. Special of the night was a Baked Seafood Alfredo. It was soooo good, generous amount of shrimp, scallops, and crab, with a cheesy mozzarella like top. It was stringy and cheesy goodness on top. The alfredo taste wasn't too much butter or garlic, tasted really good, and I'm always a fan since it's tend to be very heavy. Served with parmesan garlic bread. Soda was served with metal straws, I understand why and that's a good thing, but just not my thing. Service was very friendly. We will be going back, it's def worth the drive!

Hands down thee best “gas station” I have ever experienced. Whoever came up with this location and details is a genius. The gas station… actually the store, had cute clothes, hats, local made goods, SNACKS I’ve never seen before almost hard to find ones. *see attached photo* Restaurant area the food looked healthy and delicious, didn’t get the chance to try. The downstairs gym & theraputic area was top notch. Had sauna, floating tanks, full gym, chiropractic area, and more. My boyfriend and I plan to take a weekend getaway out here in the future influenced by this location.

Wow, words can’t describe the love I have for Thriving Thistle and the love that I’ve felt from everyone there. Between the wellness center, the restaurant, and the exceptional gas station, it’s all so wonderful to have in this community. Personally, the Thistle had profound affects on my recovery from lower back pain. I spent 10 months and thousands of dollars on an exhaustive search for the issue, before I arrived to Thistle. Within days, I was feeling better than I had in nearly a year. I partook in as much as I could…yoga classes, group classes, float tank (!!!), massage therapy, qigong, sauna, “adjustments”, eating healthy, sharing the positive energy, etc. I believe it all had a compounding effect. I would travel far and wide for a place like the Thistle; places like this are not common today. <3

Wonderful! Best sweet potato fries I've had! Yum yum. Great menu & atmosphere. Crispy chicken sandwich not my favorite.

The Thriving Thistle is such a great place in our community! The people, services, classes and food are wonderful and needed! It is a place of health, healing, connection and fun!!

Delicious raspberry scone! One of the best I have had. Moist and delicious!

Good menu. Healthy options. Attentive waitress. Takes quite awhile to get food. It's good when it comes. Nice gift type items available at gas station which is connected to restaurants. Spa type services available on site. Pretty amazing find in little rural Apple River

Great food and customer service. The steak sandwich was delicious and high quality. The blueberry pie was amazing!
