Good food... If you know what to order. – Living in the neighborhood, I go to the Fireplace Inn quite often. I love it. The ribs are great; it's their claim to fame with good reason. Last saturday I went for lunch and Craig was my very charming and attentive server. I wish he had warned me not to get the boneless rib sandwich. I should have known better just by the name. I was surprised when a tiny slab of processed pork made its home in the slice of french bread. Could be compared to a McRib, but there were no pickles or on... read more
Good Service, Good Food, Good Fun! – I went here with a few of my buddies last weekend and had a great time! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was fun and the ribs were the best I've ever had. Our server, Nikki was so great! We never had to wait for a drink, she was pleasant and seemed to really enjoy her job which is unusual to find in a server. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone!
The worst restaurant on Wells Street – From the service to the food, ill never understand why this place is still in business. I have been to bars with better food, and it has been in business since 1969? The salad tasted dirty, the steak was cooked medium well when I asked for medium rare, I didn?t even get the coleslaw that the menu says I get. When I told the server that it was cooked to much he said oh I didn?t notice. When I go to a bar to get a drink I expect service. Vince the bartender looked at me six times in 5 min... read more
Hole – Here is the answer to that annoying question: It's neither a sports bar nor a fancy restaurant! It is simply a hole with semi-decent bar food. It lacks atmosphere and class. Its amazing that such a great street in Chicago has no decent places to eat or drink. If you are looking for an aging crowd, ok bar food and the nastiest restrooms this side of the river then Fireplace is your spot. Overpriced and over-rated!!
Can't Find Good BBQ In Chicago – Being from Texas, and growing-up on real BBQ, I'm always excited to try BBQ places in Chicago. I've lived in Chicago for 10 years now and still haven't found a really good BBQ place that matches the ones back home. This one was good, but not great. The search continues
Not Tasty – I thought BBQ on a cold night at The Fireplace Inn would be a good idea, but I was wrong. While the lighting was wonderful and the actual fireplace kept the room warm, the food was poor. There was very little barbeque sauce on our bbq sandwich and the boneless rib sandwich was comparable to that of a McRib with the same consistency. I found the service good(unlike previous reviews), and the steak fries hearty. We ordered stuff mushrooms as an appetizer and our server brought out two plates one with cooked mushroo... read more
Overworked, but efficient waiters. Very good bus people. – We enjoyed the fun and casual atmosphere. Musicians came to our table to play their instruments and sing. The waiter was curt in the beginning but warmed as the evening proceeded. Waiter did not offer another drink. Bus person kept our non-alcoholic drinks full. Best lobster tail I ever had, great new york steak. Salad was ok. Desserts were scrumptious. Chocolate mousse was intensely good. We would definitely go back.
Rockin Restaurant – As a boat owner in Diversey Harbor I am always looking for a restaurant to deliver food to my boat. I found a great restaurant to do that, The Fireplace. After many tasty successful deliveries I decided a visit to the restaurant was in order. I was not dissappointed. I didn't think the food could get better but it most certainly did. No delay from the kitchen to my table certainly helped I'm sure. I highly recommend stopping in for great food and drink. All in my party left at the least satisfied, most el... read more
Good Food – There is not much to say about Fireplace Inn, except that thet food was good and the price was great for the amount that we ate.
