We enjoyed the food and service. The location is run down and not the greatest but the food is really good.

Appetizer we had their baked Bri which was new in their menu. Wasn't big, max 2 people could share…read more Unique flavor. If you are looking for something different this is it. Cesar salads are big! My husband and I could have shared. Very good though. Would love some large chunks for Parmesan on here, would add to it. Entrees we ordered their boneless ribeye with broccolini and Cabernet sauce. The sauce I could drink, was so good! My husband ordered their dry aged large bone ribeye, was a bit too tender for either of us. He did like the lobster Mac which he ordered for the side Dessert was their lemon cake. Not to sweet but had a zing to it. Was okay.

We visit Three Fires Steakhouse for special occasions. We were celebrating our anniversary and…read morelooking forward to fine dining. Arrived at 6pm, ordered cocktails and reviewed the menu. Placed our order by 6:10pm, then waited 45 minutes for our main entrees. My husband's 12 oz NY strip steak, which included shallot for $54, was room temperature when served. There was no shallot on his plate. He mentioned the temperature to the waitstaff. At least the side of mashed potatoes for $9 was warm. Because I didn't like the non-beef choices on the menu, I ordered a Sunflower salad, the jumbo shrimp cocktail and crab cakes which are listed as starters but I asked for them as my main entree. I received my salad within a reasonable amount of time, but waited the 45 minutes for my main entree to be delivered. I always laugh when Kansas menus say "jumbo" in their description of a shrimp cocktail, but the shrimp on this cocktail were indeed jumbo. They were large enough to make any shrimper, from the south Texas coastline, proud. The crabcakes were tasty and served hot. My guess is that my husband's steak sat for a long time before my crabcakes were cooked. We believe the issue of delayed service was due to a very large group being served in the dining room to the east of the Three Fires main dining room. Our waitstaff was also waitstaff for the group in this dining room. Consequently, all of the attention went to this group and only occasionally to our table. We watched as food was carried from the open kitchen into the secondary dining room. We waited for our food to be served and never received an offer to replenish our water glasses. My husband requested coffee, but it was never served. We finished our meals and waited 25+ minutes for anyone to notice. When the waitress brought the bill she remembered the coffee. My husband told her to forget the coffee and asked for boxes for our leftovers. When my husband requested the to-go boxes, our waitress remembered that I had said I would be ordering dessert when she first greeted us at our table. She asked me what dessert I wanted. I told her to forget it, we were ready to leave. When she returned with the boxes, she offered warm bread pudding to-go "since it was our anniversary." We said sure, but I am fairly certain that it was her attempt to minimize the lackluster service. She left our bill at the table before bringing the to-go boxes or our "complimentary" bread pudding. There was no itemized coffee or dessert on the bill which obviously had been printed before she remembered the coffee or to ask for the dessert. We won't be back ~ at least for quite a long time. Food quality was poor in comparison to previous visits. The smell of cigarette smoke permeated the dining room. Service was good but unacceptable slow for a great dining experience. They were unprepared for serving the main restaurant along with the large group in the second dining room. For a Friday evening between 6pm and 7:30pm, there were many empty tables. Perhaps now we know why.

I visited with a party of 8, and across eight varied and unique entrees, everyone absolutely loved their meal. Fried fish came out deliciously crispy in cornmeal batter, salads were freshly chopped and vibrant, and my blackened chicken was perfectly tender. I am usually a stickler for taking photos to go with my reviews but I forgot this time as the meal looked so good - everything was that tasty! :) Service was excellent and the rural atmosphere was calm and serene. The restaurant is nestled outside of town next to rolling hills and a large pond that makes for scenic views. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who's in the area!

Even though I had heard about this place, I was leary because all the Yelp reviews were so old. However, the place was packed and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the Saturday special 8oz Filet and added sautéed mushrooms and herb butter. They do charge extra for every single little thing, but these items "made" the steak. Hubby had the smoked Pork Chop with a baked potato (which we shared; upcharge to get it "loaded" which meant they added cheese to the butter and sour cream). Fresh hot bread and butter came with the meal. Both entrees were Yumm-oh! Our waitress was attentive and friendly and busy. I also got a glass of Moscato wine, which was tasty. And we ordered the Brownie Sundae for dessert, which unfortunately did not live up to our expectations. I'd definitely skip the $9! dessert. The total bill was North of $100, so kind of pricey for us, but we did like what we had. I just wanted to add a review that was current.
