The pork tenderloin was definitely worth it. I had heard a lot about it, and it lived up to my expectations.

Tenderloin was 🔥

Went in to share one of their famously huge tenderloins, but opted for the taco lunch special and was not disappointed. The taco meat is flavorful and portions large and filling.

This place is a hidden gem. Walking by it you would never guess this was inside! A great day sitting bar, regular takes and high tops. Service was the best part of it all and that says a lot! This was top two for Breaded Pork Tenderloins in my life! The meat was the perfect thickness, the breading was crispy and DID NOT TASTE LIKE FRYER OIL! The Sloppy Joe had a very good taste and spice! The Beer Battered Fries were very good as well.

I have seen many posts about Christine's Firehouse in the past and have wanted to try it for a long time. Last week I saw a post that said they were disappointed. That the tenderloin was bland and the breading was falling off. So, that made me want to go find out for myself.

My son and I went for lunch today. We ordered a tenderloin with tots and an extra bun. It only took a few minutes and our food arrived. It was blazing hot 🔥. Clearly made to order and not sitting under a heat lamp. It was HUGE! And even better, it was absolutely delicious! Nice, crispy breading, and perfectly seasoned. We could not have been happier with our lunch! Even took a big piece home to my wife. Fed 3 people for $15! We will definitely be back, and to anyone that sees a negative review, I would encourage you to go try it. It really is amazing. It was a great, friendly environment as well.

Great little dive bar with amazing tenderloins. Huge and reasonably priced. I loved and hated finishing the whole things. Can’t wait to go back.

I use to love going here… until New Year’s Eve— I went with some family and we got treated horrible by a lady with brunette hair. Every time I have gone I had a good experience until new years of 2024-2025. This lady serving us refused our order due to my family of color… shame on u racist…

Decided to try Christine's today. I'm so glad we did. Chiefs were playing and had just gotten a touchdown as we walked in the door. The house interrupted into cheers and claps. I couldn't resist to bow & wave while thanking everyone for the grand welcome. They all laughed and greeted us with welcoming comments. So much fun. The atmosphere is amazing! I'm sure the game had a role in that, but I loved it. Kevin, our server was excellent. So friendly, attentive, helpful... just wonderful. It was our 36th anniversary and just wanted to find a place with good Bloody Mary's & food. We weren't disappointed. Hubby had a GIGANTIC tenderloin & said it was great. I loved the fried cauliflower and the great BBQ pulled pork sammich. It's a small homey place but those are the best kind of places in my opinion. Also we love that it is fire service related. My husband is a 26 yr firefighter, Captain.

Dietary restrictions: I try to not have salted food. I asked for the grilled chicken sandwich and don’t think the server heard me so I received a breaded chicken sandwich. NO complaints about the flavor, but breading was salty. The beer buttered fries I tasted of my husbands order were excellent. Soft and crispy. I look forward to going back.
