Showed up on a Saturday night expecting to have a wait but was pleased that that was not the case. The front room is a bar area with TVs and high top tables so we asked to be seated in the back room at a low top table. They also have a patio overlooking water, which would be nice on a cool evening. Ordered the fish and chips and the teriyaki chicken sandwich. Both were good. The french fries were nice and hot and the Saratoga chips, crunchy and plentiful. If you're looking for a place with large tables for a group, check out firehouse Grill. read more

We're really thankful that we stopped in before booking for our upcoming large party. We would have been extremely disappointed if it was anything near what we were served. Appetizer and both entrees were bad. The service was slow, which is understandable at times, but the food was awful, especially considering the cost. We were very surprised, as we had dined here in the past and it was okay. I can honestly say I don't think there is any way we would ever return and we're very glad we did a trial run before booking a party. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but after spending over $60, my intention is simply to save others from having the same experience. Other observations: tables were bussed very slowly, if at all, and the windows were noticeably dirty. Overall, the place seems to be struggling, and unfortunately it shows. Check the photo for the "medium" burger. read more

I had a great meal with a very attentive server who took good care in making sure that my water glass was full and I was enjoying my meal. I loved my fish & chips. A large portion freshly made. Look forward to returning read more

I can't comment on the food this time as we only stopped in for drinks while we waited for another restaurant up the road to open. The cocktails and beer were fine. The cocktails could've been done better to warrant the price charged, though. The service wasn't overly friendly or inviting. We probably wouldn't stop in again unless in the same situation. read more

As I was googling good places to get a salad for a weeknight dinner with a friend I came across Firehouse Grills menu and was instantly sold when I saw the Crispy Goat Cheese Salad and $4.99 Margaritas on Mondays! I added shrimp to my salad and it was delish! I am a sucker anything goat cheese and this was perfectly paired with apples, cranberries and hot honey. The service was great, but in all honesty, the marg was lacking it was watered down and I'm glad I didn't pay a ton for it. They have a wide variety and I'd like to go back and taste some other yummy looking foods on the menu! read more

Going here for a private event was nice. The room we were in was located away from everything and allowed for us to feel secluded from the restaurant. With that, our menu options were limited. The Salmon Club was great, but didn't hold together well. It is definitely something worth trying. read more

Showed up a little after six, got sat right away. Didn't seem very busy. Waited 20 minutes for anyone to even come to our table. Waitress was nice. Food took forever to come out. Salad was good, child's cheeseburger was undercooked. No one came back to check on the meal or ask if we needed anything. Took forever to get a check. Definitely wouldn't go back based on service. read more

The fries are good and Conley is a good soul. Thanks for hosting us here. All the other food is good and the atmosphere was excellent!

PSA If you don't want to wait for YEARs for your food, your drink, your appetizer, I would avoid this place. This is the third time that we've tried to go back and give it another chance just because we like the atmosphere, but that was a bad move on our part. On a sidenote, the waitress was Really pleasant and it wasn't her fault. She was running her tail off. I felt bad for her. I wanted to warn the young mother that walked in with her kids that it wasn't a good idea to eat there. I could tell by her face she was equally as frustrated. read more

Firehouse Grill is near Embassy Suites and a group of 15+ people decided to walk there for dinner. We didn't have any issue being seated (thankful). Our group snagged a few high top tables and we had a couple of team members taking our food and drink orders. The environment is casual and overall the restaurant is bright with several TVs scattered to watch sports. We did experience a lengthy wait in getting our first round of drinks as well as being asked about appetizers. So long in fact that we skipped the appetizers and moved ahead with ordering meals. However, once we got started the food came out quickly and we only had to hunt down one person's meal. I opted for the street tacos, picking chicken and pork. Delicious! And not overdone on the toppings, which I appreciated so that it didn't take away from the meat. We also loved the side of fries - and there's plenty to share. Plenty of beers on draft too! Thanks to the team for taking good care of our large group. I'd recommend it for yours! read more

Great bar food spot! Lots of tvs, great event space. Understaffed but good service. Got out food ready to go quick

I booked a 50 person event in one of the private rooms. Everyone had an individual check with choices from a limited menu. The servers handled drink orders and menu selections so very well. We had a terrific time and were treated so very well. The menu was varied and tasty. My compliments to their private event coordinator for making the arrangements straightforward and professional. read more

We had a large event in one of their banquet rooms. When it came time to order, I ordered last and our waitress did not turn my dinner order to the kitchen. I spoke to the manager who was dressed like he just left the gym. I would never recommend Firehouse Grill to anyone for any eating out reason. Unless you do not mind being humiliated in public. read more

Service was super amazing and its was packed but I still got my order fast and the wings are amazing. i seen runner named Carlos he has been moving trays by his own and quick and easy to comprehend food is amazing. The ladies were amazing and super kind and understanding. read more

The Firehouse Grill is a vibrant restaurant in Blue Ash with an ample menu. The variety is great: soup & salad, burgers and wings, gluten free dishes and much more. The food came out dialed quick after ordering and was pretty tasty. Our waitress was very nice but oh so unorganized... I realize that our group was large and that there would be a wait but even tho all of us in the group are easy going it got to a point where everyone grew restless and was unnerved by the waitress. Long wait for the drinks, wrong drinks, nowhere to be found at times. We waited forever (or at least 30 min) for our check to come back after handing her the credit card. read more

Firehouse Grill - Soup and Salad - Bars Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

Solid place for local brewery crafts, drinks, food and watching sports. Outdoor patio was nice for larger groups or family; suggest to make reservations. Indoor dining had plenty of large TV's around the bar and restaurant. Weekend live music entertainment provided. Service was friendly and attentive, but a bit slower during busy Saturday dinner hours; not a bad idea to order a couple drinks at a time if you're thirstier than usual. Variety of menu options from apps, salads, sandwiches, burgers to entree meals. Food was plentiful and flavorful, but not unique...good pub fare, perfect with drinks. Overall 3.5 rated experience for me, and meal costs $10-15pp. Tried a few apps...Pork Nachos, Pretzels, Quesadillas all tasty munchies. Ordered a Reuben sandwich that was good; but think next time I'd like to try a burger or another sandwich or meal. Check out FG&B, spacious venue and good social gathering spot, expansive craft offerings, plus variety of food and bar drinks. Enjoy! read more

Incredible vegetarian options and wonderful service! I also love that they can easily accommodate larger groups!

I am downgrading my 5 star review. We've had absolute crap service in the past, so bad we had to search for our server to get our bill. We still came for the food, specifically the Battalion Italian pizza; a pepperoni pizza with banana peppers. My wife and I ordered one each. She requested all the peppers from hers be added to mine. We received little pizzas with peppers on both. It was a tiny disappointment leading to a larger and larger one. The pizzas are now 8", but are still served on the original 12" pans. Thanks for reminding me what I USED to pay for. Only we have to pay MORE now. The half sized crust was thick, blistered with air bubbles and underdone. The sauce was caked on Minimal pepperoni and the peppers thrown on after the back. They weren't even warm. My wife is a gentle soul and when we've received crap service in the past, has used the time to handwrite instructions on to to give good service. This time we agreed, we are NOT coming back. No handwritten instructions this time. Why try to improve the place when you no longer care if it stays in business read more

Food was good, service was terrible. Waiter spilled drinks on my menu and server made no attempt to clean it up. Bar drinks were absolutely terrible. We have been there in the past but our last.visit we decided will be our last. read more

Alright food. Buffalo rolls are great though. I've have had the buffalo chicken wrap and the first half was great. Second half had wayyyy too much sauce. The chips were bland. Had the Chipotle wrap. No seasoning but the fryes were awesome. Had the Cobb salad and it was great. Prices are extremely high and service is so-so. read more

Hello came here the other day for a quick bite and they fell short food was certainly mediocre. The only reason why I gave them a three was because the customer service is so excellent they were sweet as pie but the food was not up to par We all had the broccoli cheddar soup and had to ask for more cheese but then when we added the cheese it made the soup cold. My sister however did get the hamburger and she said it was decent. I ordered the chicken lemon pasta with the capers and it was so dry and I'm not sure that I was eating chicken? read more

Went in tonight and had the most amazing server Jen she was very welcoming and so friendly. Our orders came out fast and taste great

What's special: awesome outdoor seating - it felt like being at the beach, but in Ohio! Honest thoughts: their fries are pretty epic. I gave it a four-star because my beer tasted a little "off" whenever I visited. I would consider myself an avid beer drinker, and I've never tasted a beer like that. When I mentioned it to the server, there wasn't anything offered adjust the situation. read more

Firehouse Grill - Stout and Ale - Bars Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

This was the worst dining experience our family has ever had. The food was terrible, not one of the meals we ordered was finished. The beer was warm. Our server brought water to us and then never returned. Our food was brought by someone else, she never checked to see how the food was or if we needed refills. When my 13 year old fell asleep in the booth waiting for the check, we went to the bar to try to pay for the meal- the bartender got our waitress who seemed surprised we were still there. The parking looked full, but it was nearly empty inside, very dingy. The menu had a lot of potential but total let down- especially considering how much they charge for the very mediocre food. Only good thing was the hostess- elderly lady, very nice. But save your money and go elsewhere. read more

I'm excited to go back and try more of their home brews. I got the Blue Ash Brown and it was caramel and hazelnut without too much bitterness. I also got the Southwest Salad which was fantastic with their chipotle ranch, and we know I'm a sucker for chipotle ranch dressing. The service could have been more attentive since it was 5pm on a Wednesday, not too busy of a dinner rush yet. My guest said their menu used to have a lot more items, but may have been scaled back since Corona. I'll come back to try more brews or a burger. Nice local spot. Bar had enough seats to sit away from the person next to you, saw a few guests walking around without their masks, but that might start being more common. read more

Down the street from where we work so frequented often. Service is normally good, some servers better then others. Food has been getting better over the years especially the apps. Wings are good. Love the Quesadillas. Excellent sandwiches. The local craft beers are usually excellent. Nice choices from local and out of state brewers. Always rotating so never gets old. They opened their own brewery but as of yet (Covid 19) could not try any. The only negative observation I have is that their owner (ex fire dude) is extremely stand offish, if he knows you fine,otherwise you do not exist. Never smiles as he walks around. Again, only my observation. read more

Everything about this was just "fine." Nothing special. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Rolls for the table as an appetizer and although they had good flavor, they came out cold and with all of our entrees. For my entree I ordered the Blackfire Wrap and I definitely wouldn't recommend. I couldn't locate or taste the caramelized onions or chipotle mayo at all. It was basically plain grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, and lettuce thrown into a tortilla. I also decided to go for fries instead of chips and the fries were sooooo dry and lacking in flavor. It most definitely was NOT worth $15. Others at my table had the Street Tacos and the Fish and Chips which did look better than mine. Lastly, service was slow and when we did get it, not very good. I had to ask 4 separate times for a side of ranch because everyone just kept forgetting about it. Atmosphere was very much like a sports bar. Overall, probably not somewhere I would return to. read more

I would not recommend coming during lunch shift. It seems the bartender serves all the tables and is not attentive to the ones outside of the bar. Food is not worth the price and they uncharge for everything. Literally everything. If I'm paying $13.99 for a burger I would expect to get fries free. Not here. read more

Great food all made from scratch , it came out fast and the service was spot on. I will be back!

I drive past Firehouse all the time and always assumed it was a chain. It turns out that it's not, but it definitely gives off that vibe and food quality. But it does have ample seating for larger groups and happy hour deals on drinks and appetizers. There is outdoor seating in summer. I came with a group on a Tuesday night, and we were a bit surprised how full it was. The service was slow and someone in my party mentioned the service was usually like this, no matter how crowded it is. The food was decent quality. The Firehouse burger was good, but not particularly special. I would spend the extra dollar to upgrade to fries, as those were quite good. The chicken and caper pasta was tasty. Pizza is another solid option. However, the steak salad was a bit lacking. The steak itself was good, but usually entre salads have a bit more heft to them. If you order that, make sure you eat some appetizers first. read more

Checked out the menu before coming up and felt that the meatloaf dinner looking like a win. And it was very tasty the chili was even good. However, kind of disappointing when you sit at the bar it takes over five minutes to have some acknowledged you and get you a drink and you have to holler at someone to get your second drink. Service is I think could be a little better with the fact that there was about 8 staff running around. Even though the staff was very friendly they seem to be on a schedule cleaning and trying to get ready for shut down at 8 o'clock at night. That's not really a bad thing. Everyone was doing their cleaning duties but The bar area could definitely use an improvement in cleaning seeing wires hanging and dirty behind bars not impressive. Especially for being in Blue Ash a upscale area. If in a hurry from out of town, this will be the usual fare you would get as travel experiences seem to be, Could it be better maybe. Staff obvious they were very friendly with our limited interaction that there could be an improvement Food was great! Drinks very good pours! But serving drinks did not seem was a priority. read more

Great service. The fries were the best part of the meal I had. The buffalo chicken wrap was okay. Nothing spectacular but pretty good.

One server was wearing sweat pants and slippers. She honestly looked like she rolled out of bed and showed up to work in her pajamas. The hostess watched two elderly people struggle with the door on a very cold and icy night. Myself and another gentlemen got up from our seats to hold the door. Hostess barely looked up from her phone. Unfortunately, the food isn't good enough to overcome the service. read more

We stopped in after driving six hours. We were happy to see that it was happy hour. We ordered one of the specials--pretzels. They were good. We noticed that we hadn't received the discount. The bartender said--"oh, you ordered two minutes early. I even looked at my watch." We were very disappointed that she could have let us know to wait a couple of minutes. Poor customer service. read more

Firehouse Grill is a vibrant local bar and grill with a trendy atmosphere, lots of seating, and a highly overpriced menu. There was no wait for a table and the hostess could not have been more pleasant. Overall, the service was quick and friendly, especially for a Friday at Happy Hour. Our food was delivered within 10 minutes of ordering, but I wish they would have taken longer and produced a higher quality experience. My burger was dry, chewy, and had zero seasoning. I left 3/4ths of it unfinished. The homemade fries looked promising but were cold and raw in the middle. This may have been more forgivable at a lower price point, but for $13 for a cheeseburger and a $2 up charge for fries, it's not the vibe. read more

My wife and I were here staying nearby while preparing to visit the Ark and Creation Museum. Being a home brewer and an avid beer connoisseur, I enjoy dining at Brewery Restaurants. Tonight, we visited Firehouse Grill and Brewery. For an appetizer, we ordered the fried pickle spears and I must say, they were pretty tasty. For my entrée, I ordered the Street Tacos and my wife ordered the Margarita Pizza. The pizza was outstanding, albeit light on fresh basil. My street tacos, while tasty, fell apart in my plate. The corn tortilla completely disintegrated leaving me with having to use my fork to eat my tacos. For desert, we ordered the lava cake; which was not a lava cake at all. Instead it was more like a brownie with dollop of vanilla / strawberry ice cream and drenched with chocolate syrup. Now for the beer: I like to order the beer flight when possible so I can sample the offerings before ordering my meal. Then, I'll order a pint of my preference to go as a paring with my meal. So I ordered the 4-flight offering, plus two additional offerings so I can sample a well rounded assortment. And, I'm not afraid to say, the beer really sucked. As a home brewer of many high quality beers, I understand beer and the many styles on the market and these beers did not even come close to their styles and were lame at best. So, to accompany my dinner, I was forced to order a Bells Two Hearted Ale; that's how bad these deers actually were. None of the 6 samplings I tried were adequate enough to accompany my tacos. So, I apologize to the head brewer for being so brash in my review, but you really need to understand what you're brewing before you serve it to your guests. I recommend reading any of the many books on brewing available today. Your business will appreciate your efforts. read more
