Firehouse Grill

Firehouse does a great job of distancing the tables on their patio. The staff is efficient and very friendly. The passing trains may well cause you to pause your conversation. However, street traffic isn't bad at all.

For the 1st time I had their fish & chips and personally found the fish to be overly breaded :( I have dined at Firehouse many times before and have liked other menu options. Great burgers, for example.

From being a frequent guest in my neighborhood favorite haunt, I am always willing to
overlook any lack of service attention or whatever because the owner and his team are really good friends.

Very pleasant patio location. Compliant with social distancing. Casual atmosphere for both families and friends. Food plentiful and tasty Service excellent.

The food is fair. We ordered fish and chips, too much batter. And hamburgers, which were just average. Honestly, Culvers has a better burger.

What you're paying for is the location, and outdoor patio. It's nice to sit outside during these summer months.

Excellent experience.

We love the Firehouse and the staff is always friendly and courteous and helpful.Our only issue the last trips have been the checkin process. I understand that the social distancing is a problem but it is confusing if one has a reservation for the patio to check in at the patio entrance or inside where we had to wait for awhile while a walk in group placed their order with the hostess. Better to have a sign for people with reservations to check in at the patio and servers and staff of have a list or reservations on their phones (easy to update from the website reservation data) or put a terminal on the bar on the patio and direct every one there (move the hostess stand outside during good weather). Other than the bottle neck of checking in combined with taking walk in take out orders, the rest of the evening was fantastic.

I had lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. I love the outdoor patio. I felt like they were taking all necessary precautions due to Covid-19. I will definitely be returning.

Very nice!

Everything was wonderful. Great service. Great food. Great location.

Good food. A little loud.

The Wings Are Really Good. The drinks are Awesome.

Food was excellent quality and preparation. Just the way we requested. Cocktail was also prepared for as we asked, dry not too sweet. We had a great time and will make it a regular spot. Outdoor area was clean and watched them sanitize table, etc. Very comfortable and great value.

Very good experience for the COVID-19 era. Was able to enjoy food outside on a beautiful day without being worried about being exposed to other diners or staff without masks!

our first time out since the virus hit, patio was nicely spaced apart,food great as always,inside has been refreshed with new fabric in booths etc.

Food was wonderful land the server was a gem! We will definitely be coming back!

It was great to be with friends on the patio.

Excellent service and food was at the quality I would expect for this type of establishment. Will return again in the future.

But if I put a good review, it'll be harder for me to make future reservations.

Seriously, I really like this place, though I do prefer the old menu.

As one of our first out to dinner experience since the Pandemic, it was wonderful. The outdoor patio was spaced out comfortably, and the tables were very clean. All employees were wearing masks and kept appropriate distance. They now have disposable menus per table so you never have to worry about someone else using them. The server was patient (we have 3 kids under 9) and helpful with menu suggestions. I've learned they moved up their seating time from 60 to 90 minutes which made us feel like we were never rushed. Making a reservation on OPENTABLE was very easy and Firehouse did a great job honoring them. A great and easy experience in a not so easy time right now! Highly recommended!

Gabi is the best

Great place to hang out. Glad I live close and can get there more than once a week.

the staff was very friendly! They did a great job of keeping patrons comfortable and did an amazing job of making sure we had everything we needed for our meal. Food was delicious, as always. perfect evening!

I can't wait to try this place after they open up after COVID. The patio was nice. The food was good. The server was excellent. The only negative was the hostess. I asked her if the parking across the street was only 30 minutes and she said basically that it wasn't their job. That information should have been easy to know, and for someone who was there for the first time having that information would have been helpful. A suggestion as to where to park would have been nice as well. Overall, it was a good experience.

This was our first experience eating out since the Shelter In Place went into place. We had such a great experience from start to finish. The reservation system was simple and our table was ready to go upon arrival. The staff were all wearing masks, super helpful during the entire meal, and the spacing between tables was well thought out creating a safe and enjoyable experience! The food was absolutely incredible and everyone in our party was more than pleased with their selections! We highly recommend trying Firehouse Grill!

Wonderful adjustment to the needs of social distancing. The outdoor patio was so nice, the service was fantastic, and I felt safe and cared for. Thanks Firehouse!

It was disturbing to see too many customers just sitting around without their masks, even when they weren't eating or drinking and while the servers were waiting on them. Otherwise a good experience for my first venture dining out in a while.

The endurance of this team to get through a pandemic and their always creative menu make this a community space that inspires.

First time back at a restaurant since the world began to re-open. The service was great! Super friendly and fast.

Perfect patio for social distancing. Great for even the most careful diners.

The service was great. The food was horrible. Great space with a great patio in a great part of town but totally wasted on the food there. I won’t go into the details but our meals appeared microwaved and cheap. Ingredients were not fresh and selection was limited. The server made up for horrible food by comping some stuff and throwing in a Free beer so she totally saved the experience. Forgot name but she had really short brown hair and was good at her job. PLEASE DONT LET WHAT YOU HAVE GO TO WASTE. MAKE BETTER FOOD. CARE MORE

By the time we got our food, we were informed that we only had 15 minutes to eat due to the time window constraints.

Great job getting set up to manage new Illinois guidance for outdoor service at restaurants!

I think my fish and chips was frozen for over 10 years - dry french fries, frozen cheese curds warmed up - grossest dinner I've had in years

Our cocktails were expensive and the glass was only 2/3 full.
We waited an hour for our food to arrive. Shortly thereafter we were told there was another reservation coming in for that table.
I realize you don’t want people to linger at an outdoor table, but it was not our fault that we couldn’t be finished with our meal in a 60 minute time slot.

This is a nice outdoor space but not sure I would go back there.

The food was delicious. The outside decorations were very nice. The servers were great. We really enjoyed our time there. Felt like we had been out enjoying ourselves at last!!

Overall experience was great. Their outdoor patio is nice and the food is delicious. They make a fantastic bloody mary. We had great service from the host to the server and food runner.

Just getting out from COVID-19

Good accommodation of covid needs and still opening.

Thank you for taking reservations for patio

Since we were eating outside,, the noise level from the traffic and the subway was pretty high. But the service was very accommodating and the food excellent.
