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.
great patio What a find, Fireplace is the perfect place for a sunny Saturday afternoon. The start of college football when the weather is nice and games are on all day, is when I make most of my visits. Come for an early lunch, the ribs are terrific and the beer is cold. It really is a terrific experience.
Head to this family spot for "Flintstones"-sized ribs in an old-school environment. – In Short Low lighting, red linen tablecloths and dark wood paneling gives this Old Town dining room a classic family-restaurant feel. With its fully retractable roof, the patio is bright and modern, boasting a bar, 12 TVs and a handful of tables. Tangy, fall-off-the-bone barbecue baby back ribs are a menu specialty, with steak, seafood and salads playing supporting roles. Another winner: barbecued chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy.
Food is okay, service ain't – Living in the neighborhood, have been here many times but stopped going due to horrible service. Servers have lousy attitude & disappear frequently. Burgers are the best bet, side salads are bland & the ribs are over-priced but tasty & prepared well. Bartenders are on the ball if the servers arent. The outdoor area is glorious in the summer and fall--just don't count on being able to order anything after initial order.
Bad food, worse service! – What sticks out in my mind the most are the snotty waitresses that were mocking customers in the back where they all sit and chat, smoke, and eat and don't serve their customers. I saw one girl mocking a customer with another waitress and they all began to laugh. I guarantee I won't be back. There are much better establishments in this city that have competent and more importantly MATURE waitresses.
GET THERE – The food is simply delicious. For all you crab leg lovers, get there..........They're already cracked and warmed. All you do is eat! What more can you ask for.
