Exceptional food and price for the Sunday Brunch. The buffet which consisted of both breakfast and lunch were hot, flavorful, and freshly made. The prime rib with seasoned au jus was delicious and I must mention the soups, waffles with fruit, salads, and fresh shrimp. So much to select from I highly recommend the Fireside by the River. The price for the buffet was an affordable $24.95. Worth every penny!

honestly, i was unimpressed. came for the brunch buffet, and the food was below par. the homefries were so burnt, they were pretty much inedible. the waffle was okay, and the best thing there was the cheesecake cubes… which weren’t even made by them. the green tea was from walmart. please, do yourself a favor and skip this place if in the area.

My husband and I go to the Fireside often. We’ve always had wonderful food, great drinks, and the staff is more than friendly and courteous. We invite friends to come along, and they also rave about it.

We went for our Anniversary the food and drinks were excellent. Service was very friendly the owner was by multiple times asking how things were.

Would recommend! I don't usually review restaurants, but had a really great, memorable date night dinner here. I very much appreciated that they seem to really be trying to be a finer dining establishment... And they are succeeding. Food was fantastic, easily one of the best pork chops I've had in my life. Service was flawless. Bathroom was impeccable. Great live music too, on a Thursday! Only thing I can nitpick is that they are BY the river, not ON the river so don't expect water views, but the atmosphere and decor inside is fantastic. Hope to dine here again!

Came on a Saturday night. Band was unexpected and fun. Our server Mikayla was sweet and super attentive. The pork chop with maple glaze was worthy of a steakhouse charging 3 X the price. The ladies both had the salmon with the bacon Brussels sprouts with sauerkraut mashed potatoes...2 thumbs up. The strawberry salad with pistachio and champagne vinaigrette excellent. The wagyu perfect. Will be back.

We were traveling through and saw the sign for Sunday brunch so decided to stop. We didn't ask the price ahead of time. Some of the brunch food was real good, others just average or below. Got the check and it was $38.99 per person! Sorry, but it was definitely not worth that price. The staff was very kind and attentive, the owners even stopped by the table, but this was way too expensive imo. They didn't even include non-alcoholic drinks. Not sure what their regular menu is like, but the brunch is over priced.

A Perfect Night at Fireside by the River

I had the pleasure of dining at Fireside by the River in Baldwinsville, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, with beautiful views of the river that make it feel like a hidden gem.

I ordered the New York strip steak with a baked potato, and I can confidently say it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor with a beautiful sear on the outside. The HUGE baked potato was the perfect side—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and loaded just right.

The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do, and it really adds to the overall experience.

Whether you’re celebrating something special or just looking for a great meal in a relaxed, scenic setting, I highly recommend Fireside by the River. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The service was amazing! The staff is great. I tried their Wagyu Burger! One of the best burgers I’ve had in a while! I would’ve taken a picture of it but I finished it before even I got a chance… I liked everything I tried.
