    We asked the host to sit us in a booth away from the drafty glass window. She said there were no booths available even though we saw 5 booths that were empty. She sat us near the glass window and it was so very cold. I didn’t enjoy any part of being there because I was cold the whole time. Accommodate the customer. Simple. My review is directly reflective of the host’s behavior who doesn’t know what it means to accommodate a paying customer.

    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.

    VERY noisy and cold if you have an unfortunate seat near the door. The drink and food delivery was slow. We ordered the cauliflower as a starter. Although it was cooked correctly the flavor was totally bland. It was requested that the dressing be tossed with the lettuce and chicken before going into the wrap but it was not done.

    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..
