    I don’t ever write reviews but had to after this one, it was an awful dining experience in every aspect. Save your money and eat elsewhere.

    The service was fantastic and the most perfectly pulled pint of Guinness I have had in a while! Nice atmosphere. We had pizza, chicken club ranch and cheese curds. The food was good, not great. We really liked the atmosphere and the location.

    The hamburger was tasty, but overcooked. Medium rare was medium. Sweet potato fries were outstanding.

    I’m really turned off that firehouse charges you to use a credit card. Very cheesy—especially since the prices aren’t cheap to begin with. But if the restaurant feels the need to extract MORE from their customers, just forthrightly raise your prices.

    Really awful, undercooked food, and overpriced like crazy! Won’t be back, unfortunately.

    The food was great. We enjoyed everything. But the noise level is high and parking is a pain. #iraeats. #iraeats1

    We love the Firehouse grill! Yesterday it was a bit chaotic to say the least. They were slammed with customers, more so due to the warm weather and outdoor dining. The food was great as always. The servers were really working hard trying to serve all the guests. We did have a long wait for service but this is understandable due to the circumstances. Those kids were working hard..

    When we are in town, we frequently eat at Firehouse Grill. We like the outdoor seating and the past food quality. However, this was a bad experience as all of our food order did not come at the same time and thus most in our group had finished before the last person received their order. And that person was a child. Many other restaurants frequently try to get children's orders out early or at least with all the adults. Other food items were only warm and not hot. An order of fries was very soft, not crisp.
