The new owners have made some very welcomed changes. The first positive move, in my opinion, was to make the business non-smoking. Secondly, and most importantly, the quality of the food, the generous portion sizes, and the excellent service have us looking forward to coming back! read more

While in town we came here twice. Our first visit we came for Fish Sandwiches on a Friday. The place was packed. The atmosphere reminds me of a typical diner with camping and wildlife decor. We ordered fairly quickly and waited longer than typical for our food. My husband did order the sandwich and loved it. Last minute I changed to the shrimp scampi, which was so good I planned to get it the second night. Instead I got chicken salad because they ran out of scampi. When we returned 2 days late they ran out of scampi. The chicken salad didn't hit the spot the same way. The oreo cheesecake was divine. read more

Ok, we started on Rt 28, crossed New Kensington Bridge, and went a ways and arrived at the large gravel parking lot. When entering the restaurant, a sign is prominently displayed regarding being short-staffed and asking for patience. I really liked the John Wayne memorabilia and cast iron Conestoga Wagon. I believe the waitresses outnumbered the cooks, BUT our orders were correct, AND all food served at once. We started with hot cheese bites & gouda/bacon/mac n cheese balls. The hard-core hot cheese bites people moved to the other team. Pulled pork, turkey with gravy & mashed potatoes, fish on a dish, & chicken wings were ordered. Everyone was satisfied with their meals - clean plate club. The coleslaw would have been better with just oil, vinegar, salt, & pepper. We all left full. Nice family environment. Six teen/adults - the bill was a little over $100. read more

Food went down hill since new owners. I have been there a few times after and the same, service was fine. There are better choices in the area for the money. read more

I know the price of beef is high But to take the best thing off your menu The western plank 30oz stake for two was a mistake. This is what we came for other then the fish during Lint. Hopefully that don't change under this new ownership. Not trying to rag on this place because it's still great with great people. read more

I ordered the Reuben sandwich and it came with a piece of hair on top. Not clean. Do not recommend.

Everything about the Bonfire is a little redneck. If that doesn't bother you, then you will enjoy the atmosphere. They advertise the best fish sandwich in the AK Valley. In my opinion, that statement ls true. The service is down home getter done! They have a bar downstairs, so you can order an alchohol beverage if that's your thing. It's family style with a big twist of redneck John Wayne going on. I rate this 4 Stars on the hick scale read more

Gimme that filet o fish gimme that fish. Ten dollars for three big ass pieces of deliciously fried fish. Seriously loved every morsel.

good bad and ugly Service was bad but seen plenty of wait staff walking around. Had one take order, another served food and another I flagged down for drink refill after waiting 15 minutes with empty glass. Good part fish dinner was very good although I never had slaw served in 2 oz soufle cup when table next to me got same dinner and slaw was served in glass bowl with ice cream scoop size serving UGLY Mom ordered cheeseburger was so burnt on one side it looked like charcoal and hard as rock BAD got another cheeseburger which took 19 minutes tasted like pre cooked frozen hockey pucks you buy at Sam's club for quick burger and the cheese was just thrown on top and wasn't even melted read more

Good food. People are always very nice and helpful. And the atmosphere is great. I would highly recommend this place!!!! read more

The food is good, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is enjoyable. The rustic atmosphere is my favorite part about this place, however the food is really what makes me come back, because it was good every time. read more

Wow. Waited 1.5 hours for a table. Then another 45 for our food. Fish sandwich was decent nothing worth going out of your way for or waiting that long for. Place was busy but service was slow. Fish was a nice sized sandwich. Fries were ok. Place is clean and a nice comfy setting. Would go back someday but definitely during very busy off peak hours read more

The food at the Bonfire is excellent. My parents and brothers love the fish sandwiches. I really like their steak salad. Definitely recommend. read more

Had a wonderful time with some family and friends, owner was great, bartender and server were nice, fast. Excellent place to go, good food and drinks. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this place, will definitely be coming back! read more

We picked up two fish sandwiches for take out yesterday. Way too expensive for what it is. The fish sandwich itself was fine, nothing special, but not terrible. We were shocked to find that when we picked up our sandwiches, it was $30.00 for two sandwiches. This did not include any sides, just fish on a hamburger bun. We did get cheese on it (which I'm sure was an upcharge), but $15.00 for a sandwich is outrageous for this area. We're not in NYC. We will not be returning. read more

Good food, good service and an inviting atmosphere. I have eaten my way through most of the menu in the past few years and don't recall ever having a disappointing meal. read more

I was warned ahead of time that the fish sandwich was big and I thought, "yeah, ok... I've seen big fish sandwiches before". Ok. I give... The fish in their fish sandwich is monsterly big as in whoever caught this baby must have won an award for biggest fish caught that day! You think I jest. Fine. YOU order their fish sandwich! It seriously made 2 leftover meals for me if you can then imagine the size. Oh, and it's good, too, by the way. Yes, yes, the ambience is a bit lacking but I don't think that's why most of the diners were there. read more

I miss this place. A great establishment...great food and great people. Definitely miss the bike nights. Great memories!

I really like the western decor and the pictures of John Wayne. I had the famous fish sandwich which they have sold over 1.5 million it was really big and tasty. It was $9.29 but didn't come with fries. They do have the most expensive chicken wings I've seen at 11.89 a half dozen and over $20.00 a dozen. The place was clean and the service was so so I didn't go to the bar downstairs maybe next time. read more

First time visitor. Cute old school place with lots of mounted animals and other momentous . Went for lunch and had a dank club sandwich and fries , very tasty. Also tried the rodeo burger which was big and filling . Staff were super helpful and very nice to everyone. Looks like they do breakfast all day as well . Would definitely give it another visit . read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Great, fast, service. Had a $3 Bloody Mary special and the best Reuben sandwich I've had in a while. Everything was fantastic!! read more

Great food at great Price. Fish dinner is very good. Friendly service. Well themed restaurant. Will come again.

This is our second time dining here. First time I was not impressed. We recently returned about 2 years later. Service was good. We had an attentive young lady. The appetizers are a little expensive. 4 cheese sticks for $6 I believe. They were your typical frozen bought sticks. I tried the famous fish sandwich this time. It was definitely huge but lacked seasoning I thought. The lettuce on it was rotten. It was average. We will go back but it won't be the top of the list. We may try the bar area next time. read more

Best fish sandwich ever. We had fast service. wife dont usually eat fish but she raves about their fish sandwiches. Make sure you are hungry. read more

The fish is good, but nothing worth raving about. All other food is...okay at best. Being a bar, you don't really expect much from the food. I ate a grilled cheese sandwich here, and it tasted oddly chemically. I pretty much swore off of solids from this place after that. But the bar is nice. Friendly service and it's always the right amount of busy. read more

This is my second visit to the Bon fire. The first trip I went with the fish sandwich, which was as good as advertised! This time around I brought my daughter here. I had the brisket sandwhich and it was really good. My daughter had mac-n-cheese bites, which she said were good but not as good as Eat-n-Park. We had some fried clams as a starter. Pretty decent food, old school atmosphere. read more

Best breakfast in the area! They also have the best hot pepper cheese balls I've ever had. The restaurant has a beautiful view when you sit in the back and a rustic look throughout. Very comfortable environment for the whole family. Unfortunately I cant say the same for the bar, which is below the restaurant. Anytime I've gone in, I was treated like I didnt belong & wasnt welcome. I believe its a bartender problem that could be solved quickly....its almost like me walking through the door was a problem each & everytime. I dont think they like their job very much...or maybe it just seems that way....I dont stay around to find out. read more

They have good fish sandwiches, but that is pretty much all. Ambiance is lacking. On one occasion a date and I came in sat ourselves down and not a single person came to wait on us for ten minutes, It wasn't busy only a few people were seated, we left. read more

I have always loved going to this restaurant until yesterday. The service was more than just rude. It bordered criminal, no greeting, no one asked us what we wanted to drink, no set up on table. We had to ask for everything; everyone after us was greeted, and asked drink preference. We did receive our soups and water and tea however; after 45 min, We decided it was time to exit. Most of the people that came in after us was eating or being explained why taking so long, we were not given that courtesy. I had a mishap with my water. We had to caught someone for a towel and then the dirty bowls with the wet napkins left on the table and no mention if i needed more water. It sad to think in 2019 the reason would have been that our common denominator wasn't the same as everyone in the restaurant. They all being caucasian and we were not. I will never dock at that door again, we all have bad days however; that is no call to be obnoxious. This is my review from KL from New Kensington. read more

Tried this place several times. We found it dirty and the fish big but not very fresh. The rest of the food was not memorable but they still seem to be able to draw a crowd at times. Am I just unlucky with this place? - or is there just not much else available out here. read more

Fantastic Fish! Service leaves something to be desired though. The atmosphere and decor is a bit odd. The music playing is country (over an old school radio, not even commercial free through Internet, satellite or a CD). The decor is John Wayne pictures, covered wagons, Indians, taxidermy mounts and guns. They have a bar in the basement, which I've never been in. But, if you get past that, the food is awesome! The Bonfire serves up an absolutely killer fried fish sandwich! This thing is huge and tasty! Their French fries, onion rings and cheese sticks are also good. That's really all I've tried for dinner. I have dropped in a few times for breakfast and that was very good as well. They serve soft drinks and some alcoholic beverages. This is a place to go to indulge in fine fried cuisine, it's not a health food place. If you can deal with slow waitstaff and weird decor, but can appreciate quick food serving and great fried food, check this place out! 4/5 stars. Took one off due to ambience. read more

Their whole wings are pretty good, could have used a little more spice. The fish was also good, but I was not blown away by the size. I was really put off by the atmosphere. It almost seemed like we were bothering the server by eating there. We will be getting take out from there, just not dining in. read more

This is your usual Western PA family owned restaurant. Not big on ambiance or atmosphere. But they make a really good big ass fish sandwich. If you ever happen to be lost and wander by this place, it's a safe place to eat. read more

Cowboy decor, good food, great service. Sloppy fries are great! Loved the John Wayne decor. Popular for the fish

Excellent fish sandwich! Huge - my wife and I split one. Staff is always friendly. Really nice place for relaxing lunch or dinner.

This is only the third time I have been to the Bonfire and will be the last. Our order was messed up. The waitress didn't know what table ordered what ,she came in waving the food asking who order whatever she was holding. Ask for boxes after twenty minutes another waitress ask if we needed boxes. Wanted fish sandwich got fish on a dish. They don't have kid meals. It sucked and I will never return. Also was told they are short wait staff. What a joke . read more

Just had dinner there tonight. Rib steak was cooked to perfection and as tender as a filet! Fish sandwich was gigantic and delicious. The decor is log cabin rustic. Prices were great and service even better. We've been here several times and have enjoyed it every time. read more

Not big on atmosphere, but the food is decent and affordable. The appetizers are typical bar-food type appetizers, which is difficult to screw up. The portion sizes of the appetizers and the meals are more than enough for two people. read more

No stars. Worst service ever. Ordered takeout, told it would be a half hour, went to pick up the food and was totally ignored for an hour at least. Finally talked to someone and they told us they didn't have an order for us. Called and asked for the manager to complain when we got home and was told by Patty "this restaurant was not for us if we couldn't wait and we should go somewhere else" ???!!! They never offered to put another order in for us, nothing, just go somewhere else if you can't wait a hour and a half for semi decent bar food without even being acknowledged. read more

This place is a sh!t hole. Wait staff is rude, water taste like sulfur and iron, dark and dingy. Food is average sometimes.
