    Ladies and gentlemen, 5 stars. ATMOSPHERE: So the building is located in the middle of a golf course. Initially, I thought this weird, but it seems to work nicely. The tavern itself is very cool. It's modern and clean. It's also maze-like and very colorful. It's comfortable, but it is borderline psychedelic. I'm a sucker for interesting and/or nostalgic wall decorations...plenty of that stuff here. Do they have a (cool) pinball machine and some (crappy) video games? Yep. PIZZA: Ok. Damn! This is good pizza. There are several crust styles, but if I'm getting stone fired pizza, I prefer "cracker thin." It comes out of the oven slightly charred and crispy on the bottom, and softer on the top. The cheese and sauce have been perfect, too. There are, of course, specialty pies and PLOs (pizza like objects). I didn't try any of these, but most of them sounded pretty great. Actually...I did get the "Blue Berry Pie," an excellent dessert pizza. OTHER FOOD: I'm told by my son, a reliable source, that the "Triple Pickle Burger" was excellent. The chicken chunks initially looked a little too "battered," but with their homemade Buffalo sauce, they were excellent. Bear in mind though, we ain't talking "Warrior-Wings-Good," but FST does have some good chunks. Supposedly, the smoked wings are awesome...maybe next time I'll try them, if I feel like getting my fingers messy. BEER: Very nice selection of beers, seltzers, and ciders from, among other places, 4KD Crick Brewery (which is located, literally, next door). They do have a full bar, and what I'm told is a nice wine selection. SERVICE: So far so good. I/we got great service both at the bar, and at a table. If you find yourself in Defiance, you owe yourself to stop in. Even if you have to drive for an hour, it's still worth it. 5 STARS!

    Dom, our amazing bartender.

    Stopped in to celebrate my husband's birthday this past Sunday and decided to sit at the bar. The bartender, Dom, was absolutely awesome and made excellent food and drink suggestions. He was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu and his friendly demeanor really made our visit such a wonderful experience. I had the porky mac smash and my husband's had the Philly Cheese Steak. Both were delicious! The atmosphere is so cool, just an altogether great place. Definitely planning on going back.

    Okay, first thing is first. Despite the flies everywhere - it's summer, it happens - the pizza is amazing. Worth every penny, even the excessively burnt swaths of crust. They could skimp a little less on the toppings, sure, but it's still amazing. But tonight's review is about the experience, particularly the beverages. Don't advertise a *house* margarita for $3.50 then more than double the price to add a shot of well tequila. The real slap in the face, though, was being charged almost twelve bucks for four soda waters. Who charges for soda water?! And we mention this to our server, politely informing her that we've never been charged here (or anywhere else) for it and we get the cop-out manager explanation of, "We pay for the carbonation, so we charge for the water." You pay what, a nickel? Never mind the shitty, condescending tone of it, but both the server and manager had a chance to say, "Oh, hey. Sorry for the mix-up, but we actually charge for our soda water (for some absolutely asinine reason) but we'll take it off this time, just so you know for next time." Five seconds of effort to show the customer's satisfaction matters more than charging eleven bucks for five cents of carbonation. Look, we like this place. We love it. Tonight was a special occasion we've been looking forward to all week. And it's the last time we'll be there. Hope that eleven bucks was worth it. EDIT: The business reached out to me immediately to resolve the situation and did so very courteously. I hate that things had to escalate to full-blown Karen when polite discourse failed but at the end of the day, they stepped up, made no excuses, and handled the situation responsibly. I'm adjusting my review from a 1 to a 4 for this (By choice, not because I was asked to or anything. Like I said, the pizza was GOOD!), and hope to see soon that their staff is comfortable and confident enough to resolve these sorts of things before they escalate to this point. We will more than likely stick with our plan of coming back for Father's Day, now. Take a note, Other Businesses Out There. This is how you resolve conflict and retain customers. And thank you, Fired Stone, for taking the time to sort this out with us.

    When my family and I found ourselves in Defiance for a night, we wanted to treat ourselves to a good dinner for a decent price. Fired Stone Tavern more than exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was funky, with colorful murals, classic arcade games, and colored lights everywhere (even the restroom!) The table was a swirled glitter pattern. Our hostess and server were both very friendly and attentive. The food was the star here, though, and we were so impressed! The brisket poutine was delicious and more than enough for the three of us. All three of us ordered various burgers and loved all of them! I specifically got the Yahtzee burger, and while I failed to roll a Yahtzee to get it for free, I wasn't disappointed; I would have ordered it anyway! My husband and daughter both got sweet potato fries as their sides and were blown away by the complimentary cinnamon butter sauce that accompanied them. The s'mores brownie was excellent too, as was 4KD Crick beer from the brewery next door (the Ransom Jr. stout). We had no idea we'd find such a great restaurant in Defiance, so far off the beaten path, on a golf course no less! What an amazing gem. We will definitely be back!

    It's our first time here since moving back to the area. The pizza was fantastic. We had a supreme and the toppings were plentiful. The crust was hand tossed and was perfectly chewy crust that did not disappoint. I ordered wings since they were on special (.79¢). They're smoked. I ordered the smoky bbq and it was a good choice. We ate at the bar since there was a wait for a table. The bartender provide quick and friendly service. We look forward to coming back again. A couple of their mixed drinks look very good. That will have to be for next time.

    This place was super cute!! Loved the atmosphere and all the cool art! Our server did an amazing job and was very helpful with any questions we had! We ordered the Pretzel and Mighty Mac Pizza! Both were amazing and served hot! Will definitely be eating here again!

    The food is always good and reasonably priced for a sit-down meal. It's a good family place for lunch.

This was an issue as we had someone in our group that was obviously hurt and had a cane. We had to wait for a different table. We got our food and drinks ordered fairly quickly. Appetizer came out half cooked. The cheese in mozzarella sticks was not soft and hard for kids to eat. We watched more than three staff walk by and not pick up the dirty dish, including the waitress that had to move it to place the food down. We waited a long time for our food. Almost everything was overcooked. My food looked nothing like the picture. The potatoes were bland and had no garlic. My mother-in-law order a mushroom and Swiss burger with fries. Hers came out with no mushrooms, barely any sauce and had onion rings. Oldest boy had the ranch chicken sandwhich with onion rings. Had no sauce and fries. Youngest boy ordered kids cheeseburger plain with an extra al a carte burger (we checked and she said they could do it). 2 kidsburger meals came out. They tried to charge for the extra fries they had to bring and an extra kids meal. Not to mention that we never really saw our waitress again. We were never offered refills on drinks. When the manager came out she blamed the new cook. They gave a 15% discount but honestly it should have been more. There was not a single meal right, the waitress just disappeared, they never cleared the dirty dishes, the manager blamed the new cook. In the end another waitress came out and took the blame saying our waitress was new. The waitress never came back and never apologized. Was a very rough meal.
