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 thestaffdidn’t know how to work around it and ended up being so slammed it’s their reason for not cleaning. the food is really good there are issues tho. my moms pasta was amazing she loved her salad. but they serve salads as a good portion 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. thestaffis 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 really good so i recommend that. maybe in the future i can change my mind but for now it’s a solid 3.

this bar is a local hang in a strip mall but it's pretty cool. thestaffis awesome, friendly, good at 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.

i liked friendlystaffand the atmosphere, but they delivered my chicken with a steak knife. the chicken was tough to cut and when i did cut it, balsmic sause splashed onto the side of my shirt. i was not impressed. the drink i had was also not so good. the dessert on the other hand was delicious.
