Our first 2024 client in the spotlight is Thirsty Turtle Seagrill, family-owned for 30 years. Looking for award winning wings, a sports bar vibe the day of the big game, or a perfect place to take the family for fresh fish? Look no further than Thirsty Turtle Seagrill, “where friends, fun, and great food meet!” Restaurant veterans Joe and Karen Paranzino, acquired the original location in Juno Beach back in 1994, after vacationing in the area. Little did they know a local legend would soon be born.

In 2002, they began looking to expand operations and opened Thirsty Turtle in Port St. Lucie. Another Thirsty Turtle Seagrill debuted in Ft. Pierce in 2020, and then in 2022 came the first franchise location in West Palm Beach. An “Express” takeout site was added in Juno Beach that same year. Ron Paranzino, Joe and Karen’s son who grew up in the restaurant business, has now stepped into a major role within the company overseeing the restaurant’s operations and expansion in to new locations.
Whether a local or seasonal guest, your taste buds will dance with delight at the extensive array of fresh seafood, mouthwatering sandwiches, and the undisputed star of the show – their wings. Thirsty Turtle’s award-winning wings have been prominently featured over the years in Florida Weekly’s cuisine corner. Cooked to order, and smothered in their signature home-made sauce, you will savor every bite. Take a dive into delicious ribs and steaks, as well as tempting pasta dishes. For the ultimate custom culinary experience, bring in your own catch and have it expertly prepared by their chefs.

Enjoy happy hour every day, live music on the weekend, and now that the weather is cooler, be sure to sip and savor on the dog friendly patio with family and friends.
