A cute little spot for dinner, drinks to enjoy the long Michigan summer evenings! Service, food, everything was great!

Ambiance. Converted firehouse into restaurant and celebrates firefighters. Lots of light, vaulted ceilings, LOUD. Rooftop has limited menu, but scene is nice. Service. Fine; nothing of note. F&B. Tasty, but overpriced. Of note. Street parking. Loos clean and stocked. Captions say more. Overall, I would go if others go, but not too thrilled. read more

Owned by the same group that runs Vinsetta Garage, Clarkston Union, Union Woodshop, etc., I think it's fair to say if you enjoy their other locations you'll enjoy this one. There isn't huge leap from those menus to this, but what I do appreciate about this location is just how beautiful it is. I have recently started appreciating Fenton a lot more, and this location consistently comes up as a bright spot. If you get out of work early enough, the happy menu is pretty solid. Their two house beers and several items are $5 each and they have other items also. Predominantly a BBQ joint, their meats are very good and of course the mac and cheese is amazing. I've only been here during non-busy hours so I can't speak to a busy night, but the service has always been spot on and wonderful. Always friendly, and always attentive. I think this is a great spot for a night out of BBQ as long as you don't expect BBQ like you'd find in Austin, TX. Definitely give it a go. read more

We checked out the soft opening of the new Honcho Diego in downtown Fenton, and WOW -- absolutely blown away! We ordered the queso appetizer, the Trendkill taco, carne asada taco, and the steak rice bowl, and every single bite was a 10/10. The flavors were bold, fresh, and super well-balanced. You can tell they put real thought into every dish. The vibe inside is just as impressive -- modern, fun, and totally welcoming. Safe to say we'll be attending OFTEN. This spot is going to be a go-to! read more

Never going back now. We normally only go out to lunch on Saturdays. 2pm is too late for lunch. Smoke Street in Milford is open at lunch time for anyone that does the same. read more

Our group got seated in a little private corner that was so cute. That was the best part of the experience for sure. The food was decent, but they did have quite a variety of options. The service was very slow but they were busy. Our server was kind though. read more

This is probably my favorite place in Fenton right now. The atmosphere: I love the location, and how the place looks inside. It has a fun vibe to it, but plenty of seating for you to enjoy with 1 other person or even 7 other people. The food: the BBQ is stellar, especially being in Michigan. The fries are delicious! The Mac and cheese is what they're known for. The bread + the butter... definitely recommend The cost: I think for the size of the portion, the cost is reasonable and you get what you paid for. I've been back every month, and I will be back again in the near future! read more

Not that great for the price. Highly over rated will not be going back. Was placed in the far corner on the restaurant was forgotten about and the food was meh and very expensive. read more

Food was good. Ambiance was weird. Loud inside so we sat on patio. If you plan to use restroom be sure to take your phone, you're going to need the flash light. Servers were very nice. My $11 margarita was 85% ice which is just bs. Won't be back. read more

An old fire hall turned restaurant, the decor and the feel of the place is SO cute. From the wall paper, to the old garage doors, they did such a good job on restoring it! The food was absolutely amazing. Their mac and cheese is a definite must. It's a baked Mac and cheese with a crispy layer on top.... Yum! I got it as a side and it was a good size portion. For an app we split one of their specials- bourbon soaked cherry flatbread. It was hands down the best flat bread I've ever had. Their menu wasn't huge, but everything looked so good that I'm gonna have to come back and try more! Especially during the summer since the patios look so cute to sit on when the weather is nice. read more

We came here on a Saturday. The place is super cute and has good vibes. The service was good. The food was overall decent. We tried the nachos, Hunter burger, and Korean BBQ tacos. They all were decent. read more

This place is always amazing, from their staff to the endless seating options that they have. The Mac n Cheese was delicious and creamy. The Carolina burger was tender and juicy! Thanks again for always being on point! read more

Don't order the burger!!! Cooked to temp and came almost an hour later. burnt to a crisp and hard as a hockey puck. I could kick myself for not sending it back. Will not be going back. read more

Food is always good. Service has always been average with it recently turning towards poor. Our last visit especially turned us off completely. During a not very busy dinner time we asked to have a tv turned to a playoff game. The response was "I'll do my best". The best was nothing. We then asked the bartender. Still nothing. We asked the upstairs bartender who told us she'd get a manager to change it. Still nothing. Service comes from the small things. "I'll do my best" is dismissive at its best. I wish I could say this only about Fenton firehall but we noticed service decline at vinsetta garage too. Union joints has been our go to casual date spot and the place to take the kids. It probably won't be anymore. Expansion appears to be more important than service standards. read more

So good! Everything is always fresh and the service is great. Don't ever have to ask for a drink refill. Waitress was very attentive.

Meat loaf sandwich was awesome , Potato salad also very good. Had an artichoke dip as an appetizer was good but way too big for one. The bar tender was great kept water full, beer going. It's like an old firehouse upstairs and downstairs great music playing. read more

Service was good but food wasn't the best. Fish and chips had a ton of extra soggy breading. The fries were overly salty. The Mac and cheese was not hot, almost tasted like it had been sitting for awhile. My son enjoyed the cheese pizza, but I wasn't too impressed. read more

Third time eating here, food is always great. Service is always top notch. Yesterday we ate out on the patio with our fur baby. Always a little worried when you sit outside that service will be lacking, not at all, waiter (Brandon, I think) kept up out drinks and did a great job. read more

The ambiance was great!! The food was good once we found something they were not out of that evening. Out of brisket and gf Mac and cheese, however the pork tacos were great. They come with flour tortillas but I asked for corn. They would have been 5/5 if the corn tortillas were warmed or fried in a little oil. 3/5 because service was a bit awkward both inside and outside read more

The artichoke and fennel dip is amazing. The bread was extra crispy on the outside and nice and firm in the middle. I highly recommend getting this as a starter. I had hoped for for more brisket in my entree, but it was delicious nonetheless. The cornbread was outstanding, the fries were delicious, but the Mac n cheese was only mediocre. The service was a bit slow, but that could have been due to the fact that we were the first ones to arrive for dinner time at around 5pm. We had quite a long wait time but nothing too outrageous. I'd recommend this location! read more

I was in Fenton when traveling back home from Detroit and stumbled across this place. The fried pickles caught my eye and I was blown away! They were huge pickle spears with a light and crispy beer batter, probably the best fried pickles I have ever had! I also got the Korean BBQ tacos, which has had pulled pork and a crunch zesty slaw on top! I will definitely be back if I am ever in Fenton again! read more

I'm not sure what the hype is all about. Waited an hour to be seated, which is understandable considering the current situation. Tried to get on the wait list beforehand, but it was down. The place was freezing cold. Even the hostess was wearing her coat. Made it hard to enjoy the atmosphere when your nose won't stop running because of the constant chill. I ordered a frose. The server took the order and I saw him drop off other drinks to people. At least 15 minutes later he came over to give us a food update. I reminded him of the frose. He went to get it and returned with a made up drink because the machine was off and the drink is no longer available. Maybe that should have been better communicated to staff. I would have ordered a completely different drink, but instead he told the bartender just to make up something frozen. It was a nice gesture... probably would have rather chose something I wanted. Food came out. I got the Mac and cheese with ham. There was barely any ham. The cheese on top was so over cooked that it was a dark brown and the top layer pulled right off. The cheese sauce was supposed to be made from sharp and mild cheddar but all I tasted was Parmesan. Very disappointed. For dessert we shared the vanilla custard bowl that was supposed to be churned with liquid nitrogen. Maybe it was, but it tasted like regular old vanilla icecream. I've had nitrogen icecream many times and the texture and consistency is not the same as what this was. Again, very disappointed. I did order chips and cheese as an appetizer. Those were really good. Best thing I had all night. read more

Great ambiance, very one of a kind, 4. Service, not the best. Ordered medium well burgers, they were mostly pink. Wanted to return them and got a bit of attitude. That's a 2. Food cause it wasn't cooked as ordered, 1. Finger food is your best bet. Nice place for drinks and hanging out. read more

The food at this restaurant is truly delicious, and the service was decent. However, our experience took a disappointing turn when we arrived early for our igloo reservation only to discover that there were no igloos available, despite them being an option on the reservation site. This led to a delay in getting seated in the main dining room (our other option was the patio, but it was chilly). We were originally scheduled for 6:15, arrived early at 6:00, but we were seated at 6:30. It would have been more considerate to prioritize guests with reservations over walk-ins, especially when there were available tables in the main dining area. I only know that walk-ins were seated before us because I asked a nearby table that we watched get seated while we waited. Getting us a table would have allowed us to get our hungry toddler settled while we waited, instead of being crammed in the bar area taking up space the servers need to move about. I understand it might sound like I'm complaining, but these are relatively straightforward customer experience issues that can be addressed easily. Despite the hiccup, the food quality and service were good. We plan to return in the future but will keep an eye on other reviews in the meantime. I really enjoy the building and food and love watching local businesses succeed! read more

I love the food here. The fish tacos, Brussels salad and chop salad are my go tos. Really cool ambiance, especially with the rooftop in the summer. Services can be a little slow. read more

Have not been to the Fire Hall in a while, no particular reason, but today's review is based on multiple experiences. I have had catering from here, family and company gatherings as well as date nights, which should speak to me really liking this place. Today was unfortunately meh. The whiskey sour tasted like high fructose laden, grocery store sweet and sour mix. The fish tacos were dry. My wife's Mac and Cheese, on the other hand, were delicious, but the onion rings forgettable. Comparing the bill to the menu, there was an item we were overcharged for when the bill arrived. If I were to go by today only, I would be teetering between 2 and 3 stars, while ordinarily, I would judge between 4 and 5. So 3 it is, until I have a better experience again to convince me otherwise. Insert "sad face". read more

Had a wonderful dining expirence at Fenton Fire Hall the other nite which was our first dining experience at this establishment. The business is centered around an old firehouse that has been turned into a restaurant on Leroy St in Downtown Fenton. It has a unique layout based on the architecture of the old firehouse with multiple floors for dining to include a outside roof top bar area and two outdoor dining terraces which we took advantage of on this trip (Shaded lower dining terrace). For our meals we had the Pulled Pork Nacho and the Memphis meatloaf. Relative to the Nacho, which was offered off the Appetizer menu, it was comprised of Smoked pulled pork, Tortilla chips, Shredded Romaine lettuce, chopped Tomatoes, Pickled chiles, House made cheese sauce, onions, sour cream and green onions. This dish was quite large and could easily be split into two meals without a problem where all the ingredients were fresh, and when combined together formed a very tasty dish! Of note, the star of this dish was the pulled pork which was smoked on site and had a pronounced smoky taste which I just loved. Relative to the Memphis meatloaf, the basis of this dish was a Angus beef/pork combination where the glaze was the house made sweet Tennessee barbecue sauce versus a normal ketchup glaze. I have never had a meatloaf made quite like this but I am a huge fan after trying this as the meat was well cooked, very tasty and the Tennessee glaze just set it off and took the taste to the next level. Scrumptious! Sides included a very well made/tasty redskin mashed potatoes and Spears of asparagus. Overall a great meal. For drinks We had the house brewed ice tea and the premium Fire House Margarita. The Margaritas ingredients included Cazadores Resposado tequila, Pierre Ferrand dry Curacao, lime, OJ, agave and Honcho Lager. Cost was $10 but was worth every penny of it as this drink was so so tasty and went down so well on this pleasant summer evening. Last thing to mention was that our server was super friendly and took good care of us with frequent follow ups. All in all a very very pleasant dining experience where I will definately be returning in the near future. If the smoked pulled pork was this good I can just imagine how good their smoked Brisket/chicken/ribs must be and will be ordering them next! In summary, if you are in the Fenton area this is a dining venue you should definately give a look see as you will not be disappointed. Five stars. read more

ordered food to be delivered via Door Dash, simple order of fried pickles and side of mac and cheese. Order arrived timely and bag seal still in place. There was no sauce provided for the pickles. I called Fire Hall and asked about the sauce and was told it should have come with sauce, and she would talk with the manager. She got back on the line and said I needed to call Door Dash, even though the restaurant screwed up and left out the sauce. Spent money on pickles no one wanted without the sauce. what poor customer service, and terrible management, trying to blame their mess up on Door Dash. we will not be going back to this establishment again due to service failures. read more

This was my third visit and it was nothing short of disappointing. My girlfriend and I both ordered the SMOKED chicken. I emphasize "smoked" because it wasn't smoked at all. If anyone knows anything about smoked chicken they'll tell you that chicken has a raw (pink) appearance to it because of the smoke penetrating the meat. This didn't have that at all. The menu also said that it was rubbed with brown sugar. There wasn't any flavor to the rub whatsoever, let alone any sweet notes. The chicken inside and out was flavorless. The coleslaw was terrible as well, it was literally shredded cabbage with red wine vinegar. It's as if they were running out of prepared food and simply throwing things together without any care. We also ordered the strawberry state fair lemonade, which is supposedly made with 100 proof Ole Smoky moonshine. You'd think it would be on the stronger side but we couldn't taste any alcohol to the extent that I seriously doubt there was any at all. Management should be embarrassed. I won't be eating there again unless the quality drastically changes. read more

Fenton Fire Hall is fire! I ate here in 2015 before I moved to California and the food was yummy then. I had dinner here again in December 2021 with my fiancé and we devoured everything in the photo. The staff were friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and of course delicious food. I think it's quite fascinating knowing this place use to be a Fire House that was turned into a restaurant. I was thrilled to see this place was still open. I must go again when I'm back in Michigan. read more

Really disappointing meal from a previously reliable restaurant. Smoked 1/2 chicken was dry and rubbery and no longer comes with any sides.. for $21. The Ham Mac (stuff of legends) had a couple of tiny slivers of ham. I had actually forgotten I'd ordered the ham Mac until I found those random couple pieces in the bottom of the bowl. Yikes. Would always have recommended this place, but certainly not if this meal is any indication of the direction this place is going. read more

The environment is very cool. However, the service was very slow for drinks and the food was underwhelming. We tried the pulled pork nachos and the pizza. Possibly made the wrong choice in not ordering from the bbq menu, tbd! read more

LeRoy: I started off with a hot pickle, deep fried-excellent. Then I went on to have a hot meat loaf sandwich on Texas toast. It was very good! To top it all off, the potato salad was out of sight. All in all it was an excellent meal. Katie: We started off with the fried pickles which are always a good choice. I ordered the 3 meat pizza pie and enjoyed dipping it the Tennessee bbq sauce. It was so large I could only eat two slices! It was delicious, however didn't have many flavors happening-just lots of bbq. It was a bit noisy. She was our sub for Caitlin. She wrote: I enjoyed the fish tacos, but the chips and cheese sauce were divine. read more

I ordered the brisket for take out. It was pretty dry but that I can get over with some sauce which I had to provide myself. The problem was the amount of food I got for 27$ brisket meal. I got a little over 1/3 cup of brisket with small sides. I added pictures for reference, this is pretty sad. Unfortunately won't be back again because the food/pricing isn't good enough to make up for eating two meals tonight... read more

The wait to get into this place is wild. Place looks so big on the outside yet it took 40 minutes to sit two patrons. Menu items sound great but when they arrive you'd think you're being punked! Prices are way off for the little portion you get except for the fries. You will get too many. The place is neat but with the small room for "dining" it gets loud that you have to shout to talk to whoever you're with. Not to mention how cramped the seating is. Moving in so servers and other guests can squeeze by you. The inconsistency of the atmosphere is wild to me. Paper straws but no paper napkins. You'd think for a BBQ place they would have napkins on the table but instead you get a cloth napkin to smear with. The layout of the different floor heights is quite annoying as you could easily trip not knowing that. Sauces in bottles were not full or labeled properly. Something needs to be done about the food portions and prices. Put a paper towel dispenser in the bathrooms wiping hands on soggy towels is not cool. The igloos are cool... when it was the option during Covid but they do not match the theme read more

Let's start with telling everyone a can of pop was $3.50 Really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately it is the definition of " shrink flation". The portions provided for what they charge is flat out insulting. Portions are so small that I'm literally considering stopping somewhere else for more food on the way home. Food was a solid ok. Not bad. Not incredible either. Just ok. read more

Ambiance was great Thought the food would have been better. Wouldn't go back again. Service was also alright but waited for drinks and refills read more

Another great location by Union Joints! All the incredible dishes you can find at Union Woodshop, with their own little twists. Like the famous Mac n Cheese BUT it's called "Ann's Mac n Cheese" made with peas, a few different cheeses mixed in, and crispy fried onions on top. The atmosphere is incredible on the top deck in the summer. Always a good reason to drive to Fenton and enjoy their adorable downtown. Make sure to stop by Pumphouse after. It's another Union Joint that makes incredible ice cream! read more

Seating and food was fast, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Service was normal. Food was nothing too fancy - it sounded fancier I think than it was? I had the Korean tacos - they were tasty although tasted somewhat like liquid smoke. My husband had the spicy chicken burger and it was $23 which at that price could cover all our kid meals at Red Robin style restaurant. Kids meals were $7 - fine for burgers and fries and fruit but pricey for spaghetti ... I would say it would be ok - probably won't be back - it was over $70 for us to eat - we had four kids meals at $7/ea and my $14 tacos - you do the math for the rest. No drinks aside from water - we left a decent tip... read more

Cool spot, but poor food. We had the seasonal butternut squash risotto and brisket. It was a very small portion for $27 worth of brisket, and the risotto was extremely dry, full of breadcrumbs, with cubed squash that was not baked fully. Very disappointed with the outcome of the food, but the service and restaurant was great. read more
