    Brussels Sprouts
    Mike B.

    Wow! Outstanding food in this cool bistro. Don't let the location fool you - just because it's in a strip center doesn't mean the experience is low brow. Ate in the bar area because the main dining room was closed for a private event. About 10 tables dot the room, plus 8 at the bar. The vibe and decor is French bistro. Started with burrata and prosciutto cheese board. A creamy ball of fresh burrata is served with slices of prosciutto, crackers, crisps and basil. Everything is bright and fresh, the contrast of the sweet cheese and the salty meat with the crunch of the bread. And the presentation is as mouthwatering as the food. Next, tried the ahi tuna. A nice portion of tuna, cooked perfectly (seared on the edge and raw in the center), and then adorned with sesame seeds. The tuna is topped with sliced avocado and scallions and drizzled with a sweet teriyaki sauce. Plus a scoop of sticky rice. An excellent rendition. Lastly, a chocolate souffle. It takes 15 minutes to cook, but it's well worth the wait. The thin souffle rises in the ramekin as it cooks. Tableside, you puncture the souffle to add the scoop of vanilla ice cream to the molten chocolate inside. One of my favorites, and this was really really good. This place is a must try. Go!

    We liked the ambience here and the service was awesome. My friends and I had a great time but I did not like my dish. I got Ahi tuna which came to be too basic for 25$ meal. If there is more crunch & veggies or other topping, it would be great. The rice was also cold and was too little. It felt more like a basic appetizer than a dish. If it was about 7-8$, i would have not cared. And the sauce was very basic. teriyaki and mayo. I recommend adding more crunch to it like wonton crisps or pita. Or even some nacho chips. Sangria was great. Really enjoyed the wine flavor of the drink. My other friends enjoyed their meal. We got curry, mushrooms & toast, sandwiches and pizza.

    Great food, wonderful service, and a great atmosphere for any kind of dinner. When we want something special, we end up at Café Lola, knowing that it's going to be great.

    Food was fantastic as always! Both plates were left completely cleaned! Staff is very friendly. Also, there was a party of about 12 people that ordered before us, yet I felt like our food came out fairly quickly!

    Tiramisu

    This is kinda a hidden spot off of Roan Street, could be missed. The food was great, we had a few tapas and pasta for entree. Absolutely loved the tiramisu! Ambience was okay. Our server, however, wasn't super friendly and kinda impatient. Here's how I would rate this place - Ambience - 4/5 Service - 3/5 Food - 4/5

What is special is it is just very laid back .. a place you can settle in .. and enjoy the atmosphere or truly amazing and talented entertainment that is offered. Many acts that play here go on to be be well known signed acts. I can't say enough about the quality of the live music in a nice, intimate place where you can truly appreciate and interact with the performers. Food is basic but well prepared .. don't expect knock your socks off but decent and filling. They have a really wide variety of beer -- something for everyone. Beer prices have remained low and very affordable over the years I have enjoyed Down Home. Also a great place to meet and talk to people in town. I have ended up sharing a table with strangers and a pitcher many times. So if you are new to town this is a great place to meet new people and just enjoy. Everyone needs to try this place with live music of a kind that you enjoy. It is hard to not feel right at home here!!!

The servers were very personable and helpful, explaining everything and answering all our questions no matter how silly. All the meats were fantastic. I loved the pulled pork, but I tried the pulled chicken my son had and was blown away. It wasn't actually pulled, it was sliced, but so tasty and absolutely melt in your mouth. I'm picky about barbecue sauces but their Alabama white sauce that they had was delicious. We all had very similar dishes in different combinations and every single one of us was pleased as punch with everything. If living here or just passing through, I highly recommend The Firehouse as the place for great barbecue.
