Fire on Fifth

Server was great. Bartender was great. Pricing was decent. However the food was just not good. Pizza had little flavor, (it was advertised as new so maybe they are working on it). We tried just a basic sausage and Pepperoni from one of the other guests in out party and the spicy sauce overwhelms any other flavors. The Bruschetta had no flavor as well as the Spinach and artichoke dip. One bright spot was the cheese curds. Very disappointing

Inside the old Westclox building.
So nice to see older industrial buildings used in a new way!!
The service was friendly and helpful
As this was our first time there. They have a wall of “pour your own” beer with about 25 different selections.
We sat in the bar area which was huge, had several seating options with a stage, video gaming area, pool tables and other arcade game options. We had a pizza ( #2 from their selections). Which could have been much more flavorful if they had added a bit more sauce and toppings. The crust was VERY good, crunchy and tasty!!! We ended up taking home a 32 Oz “Crowler” of the Key Lime cider.
I would definitely recommend trying this place!!

Amazing is an understatement

Horrible, never order delivery from this. Pizza was completely wrong and the tomato sauce spilled literally everywhere in the cheese curd box. Pizza wasn't even good if it was correct.

We were in from Southern Illinois camping at Starved Rock, and this place was the best part of our visit. I mean walking trails with 100 degree temps? No. The self pour beer concept at FOF, brilliant! Pizza, excellent! Staff, excellent! Political commentary: This place is how a business is to be ran! EVERYONE was actively participating in this thing called work, but not all stressed out. Workers were present, and very helpful.

Worst service ever, and the water taste terrible. We tried to eat here twice with same results...never again!

I was really disappointed by the food here. I honestly think it is the worst meal I've had in quite a long time.

We rented a banquet room. It was the perfect size and the restaurant vibe was great. The food was perfect and our host was super friendly and attentive to our needs. We could not have been more pleased.

This place is incredible! They fed our entire team twice with a carry out order. They didn’t even scoff at 30 orders labeled and ready to go at the end of the game. Not to mention the food was all 5 stars! Service phenomenal. Would recommend to everyone I know!

Lizzy was such an amazing bartender/ server! What an awesome time my first time eating here, the food was so good 😊

So I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt three times. Each time was just kind of meh at best, but tonight was insanely unenjoyable. We ordered our pizzas and informed them that my girlfriend has major food issues (wheat allergy). We told them to be careful when prepping but they ended up bringing her regular crust instead of the cauliflower crust which started stomach issues after just a bite of it. The waitress was super friendly about the situation and had another one made up. Then after the meal was done and we went to pay for my girlfriends glass of cider at the bar, it took over 40 MINUTES of standing at the bar for one of only three understaffed bartenders to finally get around to us to pay for the tab. I get that it is sometimes very busy and the staff as a whole is very friendly but there seriously needs to be someone to step in and tighten up the way the place operates.

Our friends brought us to Fire on Fifth today. It was our first time here (visiting from East Proria). It was located right on the main road. There is an elevator to the left of the stairs once you walk in, so if you need to use that, it's available. We were seated right away and started off with the Wisconsin cheese curds as an appetizer. They were great, cubed, and crisp! Then we ordered a chicken bacon ranch to share. It was good but could have used a bit more ranch, I didn't really taste that much on there. It's a 12-inch pizza and it was enough to feed the both of us.
Loved the decor around the building and the history that was there! It was so cool to see the "old pictures" of what it used to be, from the bricks on the wall and the distillery! I love how there were notes placed around the building that explained or described a little piece of history. For example, the cheese curds were served in a paper boat on a piece of tissue paper that looks like a newspaper clipping from 1971. That was awesome!
I'm not a drinker, but the beer wall was so cool! I've never seen anything like that before. How many options they had was just insane and the fact that it's self- serve and you just pay by the ounce. Very cool feature!
We will be returning!

First timer, and they did not disappoint! Started with Grandma's Meatballs, absolutely what I needed in this cold weather. The Chicken Parm with side salad and house dressing was the main course. Everything about this dish was perfect! The bread was not hard, not too much vodka sauce, chicken was tender.
To finish, the Chai Martini and Grinchmas were a sweet holiday treat. Our server was great, too. Very friendly!

Service was absolutely horrible. We waited over 15 minutes and no one would even acknowledge we were there waiting. We finally had to ask the cooks to get someone. 10 minutes later, we sat, to then not be waited on again so we walked out. I work in the industry and no matter how busy you are, there’s no reason a waitress couldn’t have stopped to greet us and to give us an estimate of time.
