The Gridley
Rob G.

This review could be between 2 and 4. The prices were reasonable and the service was very, very good. I ordered "The Gridley" sandwich. I asked if it could be served with pastrami instead of the Brisket. They said no. This is annoying since it would take absolutely no extra work. Both are already cooked and just need to be thrown on the grill. Pastrami is just brisket that is cured and uses a different spice rub. The sandwich was a bit disappointing. I like a strong smoke flavor but it overpowered all the ingredients, so I feel like I would have had the same experience with a plain brisket sandwich. The Brisket itself is very tasty and I love the sauce selection. The pickles are very tasty and mild. I have had better meals here but based on this experience alone, I was disappointed.

Stopped here for lunch after a morning at the park and it hit the spot. The BBQ was delicious, portions were generous, and service was friendly. It's the kind of place that works well for families but would also be a great casual stop with friends. We'll definitely be back!

Great spot for lunch, quick dinner or a drink. Very friendly staff , nice clean environment, and fresh ingredients BBQ is smoked on site (smokehouse beind the restaurant) and they have a great selection of homemade sauces Generous portions! What we ate: Brisket sandwhich and coleslaw Grainbowl with smoked chicken, barley, greens, coleslaw, soupbeans and pickles. Loved my grain bowl - it seemed like an odd mix of ingredients yet it worked and was delicous! Homemade pickles were great too! The table next to us had the chichen salad sandwhich and it looked amazing (I know what Im trying next time) Big patio area and live music on the weekends My rating rationale  +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

Pulled Pork with Appalachian Beans and Collard Greens
David H.

I wasn't sure what to expect since this place is in the end of an office park type area but once again Yelp didn't fail me. They weren't crowded on a weekday mid-afternoon and have seating inside and outside on the patio. They also have a bar inside and a sign mentioned live music on Friday and Saturday nights We sat inside and service was fast and very friendly. Food was the best BBQ I've had in quite a while. I was hungry after hiking part of the Western MD Rail Train and portions were so large I barely finished my meal. The tasty pulled pork wasn't fatty and had an interesting seasoning on top which I enjoyed. They have a bunch of different BBQ sauces and I enjoyed them all but liked their original sauce the best with its cumin flavor. The Appalachian beans were something unique I haven't seen elsewhere and the collard greens tasted freshly made. I enjoyed both sides and also liked their 1/2 sweet 1/2 unsweet tea. I didn't see ribs on the menu so not sure if they don't serve them at all or just didn't have any this day. I was too full for dessert but had a butter scotch pudding to go and enjoyed that later that evening. I'd back here for sure if I was in the area and looking for tasty BBQ.

The Gridley and pork rinds

Food was wonderful, I was really wanting to try the Ruben but they were out, so I had the Gridley (brisket), hubs had the pulled pork. He said the pulled pork had a great flavor.

Sauce menu

Firebox 55 has spot on customer service due to friendly, knowledgeable servers. We enjoyed a nice conversation with the server who helped us decide what we should have to eat. We chose the Buffalo chicken salad with fries, and the Gridley with sweet potato fries, both of which arrived, loaded to the hilt with fresh ingredients, topped off with hot fries and a six pack of sauces that we could use to enjoy with the meal. The Gridley came with smoked brisket and charred pepper, relish, aged provolone, a roast garlic, horsed mayonnaise, crispy onions on a nicely toasted hoagie roll . Smoked buffalo chicken salad was excellent. Served up with blue cheese, aïoli lettuce, tomato onion on a nicely toasted brioche bun. The coleslaw with both meals was perfect, which is the right amount of sweetness and creamy celery seed dressing, mixed in with green cabbage and carrots. I also ordered an extra side of the collard green, serve with bacon, onions, brown sugar, and cider vinegar, and they were absolutely fantastic. The food was fantastic, the service exceptional and atmosphere very laid back. Clean operation from the tables to the bathrooms! Highly recommended!

Sauce was a little bland and slighlty higher ratio than I prefer, but not too much. I did pick up. They do have several tables with a very Casual atmosphere. Staff was very friendly. Order was ready at specified time. Note: I love Pizza! All kinds of Pizza! And I am a self proclaimed pizza snob. I truly believe you can taste the ingredient quality. That said, I have a new Pizza specific scale below evaluating the cheese quality, sauce balance, crust flavor/structure, style execution, and overall value. 4.0 Solid pizza; something slightly off, though I still recommend and will order again. Pizza-specific scale: .5 Cheese Quality & Performance: Flavor (milky, rich, balanced--not bland or rubbery). Melt quality. Stretch without greasiness. Stays put (doesn't slide off in one dramatic bite) .5 Sauce Flavor, Texture & Ratio : Flavor depth (brightness, seasoning, balance) Texture (not watery, not paste) Ratio to cheese (supporting role, not the main character) 1.
