I usually get the pork chop because it is so delicious. I decided to get the special burger. The best way to describe that burger is Fresh. The burger patty, Pico, guacamole, etc.. all Fresh and delicious ingredients.

Really cute, cozy and almost quaint spot for a meal! The fireplace adds a nice bit of ambiance, the service was great, and the food brought it all full circle! I had the veggie risotto with added shrimp and it was enough to have a nice lunch the next day. Very nice flavors! In a group of 5, none had any complaints or negative comments about any of the experience!

-Sorry it's long but I'm descriptive ? so I'd love to leave a full 5 stars, but I'll explain why I didn't in my review :)I arrived at 315pm on Wednesday, the sign on the door said they had food and drink specials Tuesday -Thursday 3-6. ( that's important for later )It was 71 and sunny outside. It was just my and my baby, Their patio tables were all still out so I asked if we could sit out there. My waitress did not seem thrilled about it tho lol, But reluctantly agreed. Tbh I was trying to be helpful since I had a baby, that's kinda loud and messy I figured it would be easier for everyone to have us outside. ??♀️Before I placed any order i asked about any food or drink specials and was told there is "no special today sorry" lol ? even tho it's advertised on the door? Oookayy? so before I order anything for me, I asked if I could get buns with cinnamon butter right away for my babe, to keep her occupied. Thinking that would be quick and easy! When she came back with water, I ordered a drink and my food. Since the dish I was ordering came with those the same buns, and I hadn't gotten them yet, I asked if I could just have the ones that came with my meal instead of paying for an extra order. ( In both the side order description and the order of the meal description it said "buns" not bun) I received my drink, jalapeno margarita, it was excellent! 10/10, still no buns tho ? which I had now ordered 10 min ago. My food and the buns( finally) came 5 min later. She tells me he made both orders of buns bc he didn't get the message, but there was only 3?? Like ahh.. again, oookayy? Both orders should mean more than 3 to me, but what do I know. The pasta was delicious! I got the loaded mac and cheese, 9/10, creamy and flavorful, I really liked the sundried tomatoes.. But the sauce was a little watery and could have been thicker. I also noticed on every other picture of pasta there was like a grilled little croissanti bread that came with it. That was not with mine.Also, the Buns were terrible lol. They were Hard, and did not seem warmed up at all. Neither me or the baby could eat them ?At this point of course it starts to rain ( I swear there was no rain in the forecast when I sat out there, or I never would have sat out there lol) At first it was just a sprinkle so I tried to make do, a sprinkle turned into fat raindrops very quickly. I'm trying to open the canopy but there's no pin to hold it ??♀️,so I'm standing,.holding the awning out, trying to cover me and my baby, an the food for probably a good 3 minutes before someone finally comes out to offer to help me lol ( different waitress) she gets us moved inside, (I apologized profusely, I've been in the restaurant industry I don't make a habit of doing rude things like that ??♀️ ) and before I can even get settled my original waitress comes over with my tab and tells me I'm her last table, ok no worries! I've been there, I paid quickly so she could leave. I did notice that I got charged for the buns ? but whatever it's $2, so I didn't say anything. I then also notice that's there is a large sign by the bar displaying the day's specials ... that she didn't have lol????♀️(I absolutely would have gotten the pumpkin martini by the way lol) between the buns, and the specials, for me that's only 3.5 stars really. The food and the drink were good enough for four stars though!Overall everybody was fairly nice and the food was good! Not sure I would go back though, those few things rubbed me the wrong way personally.

We've been there a couple of times now, and have nothing but good to say about the place. The food has been great, as well as the people working there. The owner Matt has been there both times we were there, and has come over and talked with us.I would definitely recommend Fireside to anyone.

The staff/waitress working made this review much higher. Super nice and quick.The food. Meh. I got the grilled chicken wrap with the homemade chips with the French onion dip. The chips were extra greasy with little to no taste to them. They were extra crunchy, so some extra seasonings would probably help. The dip, was flavorless and definitely not worth the extra charge, but I had hoped for some extra flavor would help the chips.The chicken wrap was okay, just not something I would eat again. It looked appealing and a bit of crispiness to the tortilla, but it was drippy and the chicken had an “off” flavor.
Parking: Spots behind the back entrance to the restaurant.

Food was delicious. I highly recommend the Parmesan fries. You can get them as an appetizer or with a meal. Great atmosphere but fair pricing. Madison took great care of us.

We have driven past this restaurant many times. Even though there is a sign it’s up high so we didn’t see it. Friends had told us it was great and they were right. We had juicy pork chops with a lovely apple compote on top, garlicky mashed potatoes and generous side salad. Great menu. Will have to go back soon!

Tried the buffalo grilled chicken wrap yesterday. Not sure if the shredded (cheddar?) cheese in it was supposed to be a type of Parmesan because it was so hard. The lettuce was dark as spinach. Very confusing. My stomach was turning an hour after eating a little over half of the split wrap. Will not be back.
Enjoyed our experience. Brea was so kind. Food was very good and presentation of food was great. So enjoyed our experience
Excellent service and excellent food!!We had pretzels which were perfect!! My husband had the steak wrap and said it was awesome, I had Mediterranean pita, also excellent, and the French fries were perfectly done! We’ll definitely be back soon!
