My family had a great dinner at Fireside. Great food and drink, and incredibly friendly service made this a fantastic experience. The restaurant had a vibrant, fun atmosphere. Far from a typical tourist trap, this felt like a restaurant that we would love to have in our home town, and we would be regulars. My young kids enjoyed their meals, including chicken and waffles that would appeal to most adults too. I appreciate that they didn't dumb down the kids food. My wife and I both went with a couple of their Cajun specialties, although I had a half dozen entrees on my short list. I had the jambalaya and my wife had the shrimp and grits. Both were outstanding. We also shared a wedge salad, it was definitely big enough to share! We will definitely be back, and would love to try this Sriracha glazed salmon, or cherry BBQ ribs.
Drinks were good and the food was good for the most part. Hush puppies were dark on the outside almost overcooked. Shrimp and grits had really good flavor. I don't love shrimp all mixed in with the tails on and they were slightly over done. My husband had the lemon chicken with Risotto this was probably the least favorite but still good. He had a couple crunchy risotto and a really strong sweet taste. Prices were reasonable and staff were super friendly!
Jen the server was incredible which matched the food. Great portions and full of flavor. We will make this a staple every year we come to Door County.
Hubby and I had dinner here tonight. First, easy to get in for the two of us on a Monday night as the busy season is winding down. Reservation recommended if coming with a group larger than 4 during the busy season. The chef is from New Orleans, and does a great job combining creole southern flavors with midwest fare. Nice, quiet ambiance. Our waitress was great- friendly, quick service, knowledgeable on the menu and provided good recommendations. We also had the chocolate peanut butter cake-- but ate it before i could snap a pic!
Our first visit since they re-opened and moved a door or two down from their previous location. Food is still great! We went on a Sunday night after a 3:30 Packers game, so there were likely a few more people than usual showing up at the same time. There is a bar seating area and a bit more sedate dining area. Both are very casual. For this visit I got the Butternut Squash Ravioli, and my wife got the Shrimp and Grits that came with 7 shrimp. Both were fantastic...bold flavors and so, so, good. Service was OK; very enthusiastic, but a bit uneven when it came to timing. Overall, very good and glad they're back open regularly.
Everything we had were amazingly delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the amount we got. Started out with cheese curds very crispy outside and the Wasabi ranch sauce gave it a nice kick. The soup of the day was Chicken and vegetables. It was very filling and great to warm up as it is getting cooler at night in the fall season. Ended with the French onion braised meatloaf. It was stacked high with onion strings on top, next mashed potatoes, on top of meatloaf. There were pieces of breads all around that later soaked up the French onion soup. The meatloaf just fell apart very easily and melted in your mouth. My friends had the butternut squash ravioli. It is a lighter dish compared to the meatloaf. Fits very well with the fall season.
Great evening at the Fireside Restaurant for 3 of us. Excellent jambalaya and andouille mac n cheese. The service was terrific, thanks to Lauren and Blake!
Everything about this place was amazing. From the service, to the food and the atmosphere. You get your moneys worth of food, taste was on point, great conversation from the servers who were very knowledgeable and friendly. They made my daughter and grandchildren feel seen. I appreciated this. The owner/chef is an awesome person as well. I say this because experience has proven, that happy employees are the result of exemplary leadership. Meeting him and watching how he stepped in to help serve showed that he cared about his people and this says a lot.
So happy we tried Fireside on a walk by which visiting Egg Harbor. We sat out front on the deck with the fire pits near by. Everything we had was delicious and authentic. Our waitress was thorough and gave great recommendations.
Some of the best jambalaya we've had. Great little place in Egg Harbor with a warm old fashion vibe. Friendly staff, clean venue and plenty of parking. Hopefully they open back up next season, we would love to go back!
