the fireside grill

the first thing when you walk in you smell amazing food (pasta) and everyone’s really calm and laid back. but when you go to sit down every single table is dirty which is why this isn’t getting a 4 *. there pos system went down but the staff didn’t know how to work around it and ended up being so slammed it’s their reason for not cleaning. the food is reallygoodthere are issues tho. my moms pasta was amazing she loved her salad. but they serve salads as agoodportion of the menu and ran out of salad and mushrooms. they don’t have any mustard other than dijon and the ketchup isn’t heinz it’s some foo foo nasty fig tasting thing it’s disgusting. which is a reason why i didn’t give it a 5* is because your an eatery that has burgers but no mustard except dijon and your ketchup is nasty? i can’t have mayo due to an allergy so i’m left with a dry burger. come on please don’t patronize me i’m your customer you work for me i shouldn’t have to work for you and bring my own condiments. the food is all high quality and prob mostly organic it was one of the better burgers but i wanted a burger with sauce and i never got it so i can’t rate it better. the service is unfortunately really not that great. the staff is super friendly and super slow. it took 3 people to get our coca colas with only 5 tables in the entire bar. i will try again but i am going to bring my own condiments because their in house ones are inedible. their pasta linguini pomodoro is reallygoodso i recommend that. maybe in the future i can change my mind but for now it’s a solid 3.

the good: service is great. 20 something beers on tap, over half are hoppy and or ipas. nice and comfortable in side.
the ok: the food looks great and decent priced, but in taste it just does not hit the mark. everything i have was ok, just needing that extra kick to get it over the bar.
for example the hummus plate needed feta and tahini in the hummus, less garlic.
another example: their chips look great, but were made hours earlier so they are cold and greasy.
another: breakfast, was ok but small portions.
they have somegoodideas just need some help to perfect it.

this bar is a local hang in a strip mall but it's pretty cool. the staff is awesome, friendly,goodat remembering faces. they have a mixed drink with the f-bomb in the name, what could go wrong? burgers are huge, sides can be only so-so at times, atmosphere is very comfortable. steaks are good, kitchen is consistent, place isn't pretending to be something it's not. i respect that. we like to go once a month or so.

first and foremost, it's a bar. (okay, they cal it a "gastropub") regardless, no kids allowed.

good service but thegoodis fair to good. soggy chips and not the best burger in town.

2/5 score. no need to come back anytime soon.

verygoodfood!! great service!! but just okay atmosphere!
this is my third time dining here and every time i am very surprised howgoodthe food is!! and the service is just as solid!
prices are very fair... the only let down is the decor is very casual, but everything else makes up for it!
if you wantgoodfood, etc... and can live without fancy decor and prices.... you should give this place a try!
enjoy morry
