We just happened to pass this place and it looked good, so we stopped for dinner. Service was great, food was excellent. Your definitely won't leave hungry! I though it was going to be a little on the expensive side but when we saw how much food we got and the quality of the food it was definitely worth it! I had the butterfly shrimp and the pork chop with honey BBQ sauce. It came with soup or salad, choice of side and veggies. They also served fresh bread.

I went on a Friday night with my SO for a date night. All the staff we encountered were friendly. Nathan was our server and he was FABULOUS!! Definitely will be requesting him next time we go. It’s a very family friendly atmosphere but they also cater to those without kids and since we didn’t have any kids we were seated near the bar where we noticed others without children were seated as well. This is SUPER nice they do this as it was relaxing and we honestly didn’t want to leave. HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK!

Friends brought us here highly recommended. I was surprised how big the place was, yet at the same time comfy. Service was super fast and friendly. The food was not only aplenty but the portions were large too. Food was delicious.. you get soup or salad and potato. The menu was vast, definitely coming back to try more options! Oh.. the strawberry cheesecake was great!

Everything was AMAZING! We went for my brother's birthday and It was Prime Rib Wednesday. We all had it and I got mine with Parmesan crust and it was delicious, and our waiter Ronnie was amazing too, she made everything 10 times better! I really missed this place. It's been so long since we last ate at Fireside and let me tell you, it was definitely worth it to come back here. 🩷

We Loved Fireside Grille!!! The staff is super friendly and the restaurant has such a cool vibe! Kinda Supper Club in the dining area with the fireplace, and then there is a casual pub area with an inviting bar on another side of the restaurant. Our Server Lupe was Awesome! So friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent!!! From the appetizers to the desert... Everyone in our group loved their meals... We Highly recommend Fireside Grille and are looking forward to our next visit to their restaurant! Thanks again Lupe you were Awesome!!!

Everything was so delicious! This place is a hidden gem for sure! You should definitely check it out. The portions were way too big, but the price was great. The pasta Diablo was great but very spicy! Meatloaf and potatoes were excellent as well. Even the kids dishes tasted good(I tried them).

Great lunch with friends this weekend. Ben, our server, was very helpful with questions about the menu. He was very attentive to our table and made sure we were served promptly and our drinks were refilled. The lunch French onion soup meatloaf was delicious ious as well as the French onion soup he suggested. My friends had crispy chicken wrap and the other the days special prime rib sandwich. Both were excellent. The lunch menu is supposedly a lot like the dinner menu but smaller portions however it didn’t seem less at all, in fact we each took home leftovers! We sat in bar area and the atmosphere was very conducive for conversations with my friends. Thanks Ben for a fantastic dining experience. Definitely will return.

Excellent! Tried recently for the first time and we were very pleased. We ordered a variety of appetizers and meals for our party of 4. Everything was delicious (pasta with shrimp, meatloaf, fried shrimp and steak . We only has one issue with a bowl of soup not being hot enough and it was promptly corrected. Drinks, dessert and service were also great! We'll definitely be back!
