Came here for the first time for a later lunch today. Quite a large menu… I ordered the veggie omelette and my daughter, the fettuccine primavera and garlic bread. Serving sizes were quite large but As you can see from the pictures, not fettuccine primavera….. this is penne but not going to complain and the Sauce was very runny. My omelette was okay, veggies I think, tasted like they were definitely frozen from a bag and French fries were lacking potatoes and a tad overcooked. The staff were friendly.
When we were leaving I couldn’t help but notice a few seats in the booths were torn up….such a shame I was hoping for much better. Parking …. Lots of it but unfortunately won’t be returning.

They don't serve any lemon with plain water, I thought it's odd, would not go back based on that. Otherwise seams to be ok. There are a other restaurants ...... server even didn't thank us for the tip ,based on that only , why do you think I will give you , any further of my business...the holandaise sauce is not made freshly, some factory made it......somewhere else, save your money.

Great food and decent prices. Staff is friendly. One of our families favourites

We were on our way back from Toronto and stopped off in the KW area for some lunch. We googled restaurants or dinners in the area and were so lucky to find this amazing restaurant. It was really busy so we thought this must be a great place to eat and it was. The service was fast and very friendly, the food was great and there was a lot of it I might add and finally it felt like a family restaurant where families come to have great food and good conversation. Loved everything about this place and will definitely return.

Why don't you have any bike racks? You're on several major cycling routes, including the new bridge over the Conestoga Parkway, so customers arriving on their bikes should be given a place to lock them up,

Jumbo smoked meat sandwich is served with French fries and cole slaw. The cole slaw was delicious and creamy. The fries were very good. The smoked meat was very generous and very delicious albeit salty.

I’ve been coming to Fireside Deli and Family Restaurant since I was a little girl, and now at 22, it’s still one of my all-time favorite local spots. It’s right near my house, and the consistency over the years has been amazing, especially when it comes to the service and portion sizes.

We had dinner here again today, and once again, it was a great experience. We accidentally arrived about 20 minutes before closing, but the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. We were seated, served, and never felt rushed at all, even though the kitchen was about to close. Our waitress in particular was fantastic. I wish I had caught her name. She was relaxed, understanding, quick, and just genuinely good at her job.

The food came out super fast and was just as good as I remembered. The shrimp souvlaki is our go-to order. It’s around $23 and easily one of the best deals you’ll find for the portion: two perfectly grilled shrimp skewers, pillowy rice, crispy fries (or garlic mash), loaded Greek salad, and tzatziki. Today, our salad came out without dressing, but they fixed it right away, no problem. Their Greek salad is honestly one of my favourites. It’s fresh, super generous with the feta, and the dressing is so flavorful.

We also ordered bruschetta today, and it was insanely good. Probably the best I’ve had anywhere. Huge pieces loaded with fresh toppings and full of flavor.

One of the biggest highlights here is the virgin Caesar. It’s seriously the best one I’ve had in the city, and I try one almost everywhere I go. It comes perfectly spiced, with a tasty rim and these long pickled spicy snap peas on top. It’s refreshing and pairs perfectly with their meals. The pop is always super fizzy too, which is always a plus.

Other items we’ve tried and loved include the shrimp stir-fry and the quesadilla, both solid options. I can’t speak to their beef or chicken dishes since we usually go for seafood, but everything we’ve had has been delicious and consistent.

We always have food to take home because of the amount of food we are given.

The atmosphere is cozy and charming. There are often older couples or families dining in, and the firefighter-themed decor gives it a homey, nostalgic ambiance with little firetruck models and memorabilia scattered around. It’s always very clean and well cared for.

Overall, Fireside is a gem. The value is incredible, especially for the portion sizes and quality you get. It’s comforting, dependable, and has a lot of heart. I’ll definitely keep coming back for years to come!

Usually come here for breakfast, and it's great today came for lunch and ordered the fish and chips. Hands down the worst fish and chips I've ever had. Burnt, oil soaked heavy breading with hardly and fish to be found. Once I peeled off the breading the fish itself was oil laden. Won't be back for lunch here again.
