“5+ stars to the City Fire restaurant and the amazing HOPE for a fantastic experience and great food. Our 14 year old Akita Wishy was warmly greeted and invited to join us at one of the outdoor patio tables. Hope was SO great with Wishy -- lots of water refills -- and finding out Hope loves dogs and that City Fire is so dog friendly just made our visit that much better. Oh and the French Dip and Burger we ordered were great -- and the Bourbon Sour -- perfect! We'll bring Wishy back for more fun soon -- and we'll be requesting one of Hope's tables for sure!“

I had the hot Italian sub and enjoyed it quite a bit. Wife had the turkey club and it was good. Colleen was our bartender and she was awesome. So much better and friendlier than people in the past. Glad they got their staffing sorted and things are back on track.“

“I’ve ordered from Lee's Kitchen a few times now, and my experience has been okay. The service is consistently fast, and my takeout orders are always ready exactly when promised, which I really appreciate. The staff is efficient and the restaurant is clean.

Regarding the food, it's standard American-style Chinese fare. The portions are generous, but I’ve found the flavors to be a bit hit-or-miss. Some dishes, like the Lo Mein, are great, while others can be a little bland or overly oily. It’s a reliable and convenient spot for a quick weeknight meal, but it doesn't quite stand out as a favorite. I’d say it’s a solid 3 out of 5 stars.“

“I came in last Wednesday evening (4/1). I arrived shortly after the space launch. Came in and grabbed a seat at the bar. James immediately greeted me and got me a cold beer. I ordered the jambalaya and some grilled wings. Both were extremely good! One thing I noticed was that James never stopped. He constantly moving and taking care of other guests. He seemed to know most of the guests by name. I thought he did an excellent job and truly is an asset to your restaurant. Thanks for a great meal. I’ll be back next time in town. Jackson“
