I travel a lot and like to find local color, not the big chains. Firehouse Grill did not disappoint. I sat at the bar and was immediately engaged in conversation with a local couple. They have quite a few beers on tap, many local, but no printed beer menu, so I had to rely on the server, who did a great job setting me up with a couple of local brews I might not have found. It was wing night so I had 6 buffalo style wings for next to nothing, followed by a steak sandwich with their signature baked beans and some garlicky potatoes. Good conversation continued with others at the bar, if I did not have to drive back to a hotel, I could have stayed way too long. read more

Stopped by for lunch and ordered The Sparky. Its an amazing grilled hot dog (1/4 lb) topped with spicy chili, sauerkraut and cheese. Nice decor, good music and the staff is fast and friendly. 21 beers on tap. Couldn't enjoy one though. Had to go back to work. read more

I've been here s few times, and I like the atmosphere. It's relatively laid back, good lighting, personable wait staff, and the food is good. They do a good job of accommodating dietary restrictions though depending on what your dietary needs are, the menu isn't extensive enough to provide a lot of choices (if you're gluten free, vegetarian or have other allergies - your options are quite limited). The waitstaff manages to keep the flow steady during busy times, which is good news if you're hungry and don't want to wait an hour. My favorite dish here is The Jake (Angus beef burger with blue cheese), and the fries are above par. I likely won't order another Bloody Mary, as it was far too spicy and heavy on tomato flavor. Overall the restaurant is a nice choice for pub-style fare, but parking is a bit of an issue during their busier times. I gave this a three star (though I would have gone three-and-a-half if Yelp had half star ratings), because while I enjoy it here, it is rarely the first place I consider when I'm out in the area. read more

Glad we found Firehouse Grille! Our server Julia was really personable and made us feel welcomed! The food was great! Wish we had a place like this near us! We like the tributes on the walls to those who have fallen in the line of duty! read more

It doesn't matter how great the food is. If the service isn't great, it won't work. I have been customer here since they opened. Food is great and everyone is friendly until recently. A new employee, that I have never seen in there, was extremely rude and disrespectful towards me. She was a waitress and I wasn't her customer and I was sitting at the bar.. Although the bartender didn't have anything to say she felt the need to embarrass me anyway. I left after and I called to speak to the owner. I spoke with the co-owner on the phone who seemed to not care that I left in embarrassment and stated he would speak to his partner about the issue at hand and get back to me. He never inquired on my phone number nor did he state a turnaround time for a call back. I obviously haven't heard back from anyone at their facility. I feel that this situation was not handled to the best of it's ability and I will not be going back. I honestly would have reviewed this establishment completely different two weeks ago prior to this incident, as they have been nothing but pleasant. read more

Burgers very good. Lots of interesting variations. Some creative chicken entrees. German fries were delicious. 21 beers on tap. Service was very friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was great beers cold and the service was fast! What more do you need? Second trip Friday April 14.. Food and drinks great.. Don't be black on a friday! Tip started at 20 percent like always.. Everyone around me got served before I got my salad... Back to gridiron... No switching! read more

I was so excited to finally be able to visit the Firehouse Grille. That is probably why I was so extremely disappointed. When we walked in the music was so loud you could feel it. We sat down at a table that was sticky. Waited almost 10 minutes for our server to arrive. When she came over ahe said she was leaving but someone would be over to help us. She returned a few minutes later to inform us that they weren't serving food anymore that night but we could have chips and salsa. We left. read more

This place is awesome and I don't review many places. I had the pulled pork sliders and a cup of gumbo. I lived in the south for many years and this gumbo would not be out of place down there. I also had a Belgium fat tire and lived it, I am usually a Guinness drinker. The wonderful woman with me had a forest fire salad and said it was very very good. read more

What a great find! We were in the mood for burgers and this place had exactly what we were looking for. I ended up getting the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer-which was amazing. I got a big juicy burger for my meal that had bacon, cheese, and a fried egg on it. It was exactly what I was looking for. The fries were great and I was impressed with the 21 beers on draft. I would definitely go back here if I am ever in the area. read more

The prices are reasonable, add in the facts that the food is excellent and the atmosphere is nice and you have a 5-star local joint. The staff has always been more than nice and willing to accommodate. Bring your appetite. The portion sizes are definitely hearty. Food tastes fresh. It's a small atmosphere. Not a huge place. Lots of local flavor. Great spot. Highly recommend. read more

This place is awesome- everyone at our table was very satisfied with the order except for 1. He ordered the grilled chicken and it was a very skimpy piece. But everything else was really great and hearty. Their burgers are also huge. Only other downside was it was a bit of a wait. But all in all pretty great. Will be back :) read more

One of several pub style restaurants in the L/A area. Decent food overall. Nothing that I can say good or bad about the place. It is a little rowdy if going in the evening to eat as the bar is in very close quarters to the dining area and the locals (fireman in particular) like to frequent this place. Decent but not astonishing beer selection, typical bar food, burgers in various forms, chicken sandwiches in various forms and fries in various forms. read more

This place used to be quite good, unfortunately it has gone down hill since the ownership changed hands. Every single time I have ordered from there the fries are disgustingly soggy. The chicken salad sandwich is bland, had huge chunks of chicken, and was really just mayo slapped on. I've also had burgers cooked way under, was served a burger that was not fully cooked when I asked for medium well. Also, the people who frequent the bar are typically 50-60 year olds who can be overly friendly or make the atmosphere uncomfortable. Their soups are good however. read more

Great food, cute little bar. Prices are really reasonable. Love the people. They have local talent on a weekly basis which is nice.

I absolutely loved this place. The food was awesome and the beers were cold and the service was friendly. I can't ask for more. My boyfriend and I both prefer supporting local businesses and I love finding awesome places like this to frequent. It's not a chain restaurant, and you're not going to get white cloth napkins. So if that's what you are looking for, this is not the place for you. read more

Had a great dinner here last night. Lots of good local beers on tap, got there in time to have one at Happy Hour prices, $3.75 My dinner was great, but what stood out were the German fries. Garlicky and delicious they are yummy!! I will definitely eat here again when I am in Auburn. read more

I've visited twice and have had great service both times. They usually have the Red Socks on and have great food specials. Check them out on Tuesday and try some of their tacos. They're really good! read more

The wings here are outstanding. Great service. Nice staff. I'm definitely coming here again

I love this place, but I have only ever tried their burgers and German fries which are fantastic and Gluten Free.

Food was Delicious! Had the Philly cheese steak quesadilla with a side of German fries, OMG I was in heaven and so stuffed I wanted to take a nap lol. The service was great! The decor of the restaurant was cool. Tons of cool things to look at while your waiting for your food. Will be definitely going again and again Lol. next time if I have any room left in my tummy I'll try there dessert Lol read more

I've had "The Lieutenent" steak bomb a few times. The first couple of times I ordered it I was estatic! It was packed with warm, tender beef and grilled onions, peppers and mushrooms. It had just the right amount of cheese and the roll was warm and fresh. I also LOVE the German fries. Sliced potato, buttery and garlicky and SO awesome! Good sized portions. But ... The last couple of times I ordered "The Lieutenent" I have been very disappointed. About a month ago I got a takeout order of The Lieutenent with German fries. I was totally bummed when I opened the box. The sub looked empty! There was about half of the beef I had remembered and it was overcooked, crispy and dried out. I'd say it obviously had been sitting idle on the grill all evening. The roll was cold and dried out.Then I opened my German fries only to see that they too were overcooked, dried out and cold. Again, I feel they had been sitting idle on the grill all evening. Craving a steak and cheese, plus the fact that they are within stumbling distance of my apartment, I decided to give em another chance. My friend ordered "The Deputy Chief", described as a grilled chicken breast with B.L.T. mayo and cheese. He was very dissappointed to find that it was actually a small amount of small chunks of chicken meat. He was anticipating a grilled chicken breast. I was more bummed out because I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and ordered "The Lieutentent". Well, they've struck out with me. If I'm going to pay $10 for a sub and fries the steak and cheese best be stuffed with plenty of juicy beef, veggies and cheese on a fresh, warm bun and a grilled chicken breast B.L.T. wrap best BE a grilled chicken breast. But, once again, I was dissappointed and unsatisfied. I'm looking elsewhere for satisfying sub choices in the east L.A. area. On the other hand, I have enjoyed an awesome brunch with yummy Bloody Mary's. The wings are big, juicy, crispy and delicious. The draft beer menu has a wide variety of choices. And, it's great that they support local musicians. I just can't toss the dice for two subs, spend $20 + for takeout and be so unhappy. read more

A little tight on the parking and the establishment itself but there's nothing better than a cold beer and live tunes at this place.

Tried the Hawaiian Margarita and it really wasn't that good for an $8 drink. And the fact that is was Cuervo really put a sour taste in my mouth. The fried pickles were actually pretty good however the Buffalo Chicken Wrap that I had was mostly lettuce and the Cole slaw was HORRIBLE. read more

Been here twice. Chicken was so over cooked both times that I could break off an end like a branch. Sticky tables and music so loud that your ears rang. Drunken regulars about to get into a bar room brawl. Watered down drinks. Gross. read more

Chili was GREAT!! But it took forever. Chill pub. But music WAY to loud to talk. Service mediocre. I'd go back & hope for better experience. But I bet that's typical read more

I've been here nearly three times now. I usually give places a chance, and wasn't entirely disappointed. The waitstaff is consistently cheerful and sweet. The first time I had the pulled pork sandwich. The meat was reheated and room temperature (you grow up without a microwave, you learn to acquire a taste for these things. That and meat is one of the few things I don't eat reheated. Ever.). The second time I had a burger that was burned on one side (the side that was down). The third: the firehouse dog with chili, kraut and every other thing you can think of--by far the best thing I've had. The cornbread is good, the beans from a can, I suspect. The only drawback is that sometimes they get busy, and there's nowhere to wait, other than to awkwardly stand near the door. We were offered the small table right next to the door, which we declined, considering it was -20 outside and opted to come back another day. All-in-all, not a bad place with reasonably priced food. Much better than the fast food chains nearby and worth a try. read more

This is my favorite spot in town, whether, returning from work or on the weekends when I need to get of the house. The food and choices of beer are impeccable, as well as, the atmosphere that can't be beat. read more

I've been going here since they opened as it's about two minutes down the street from me, it's always been spectacular food-wise, service is hit or miss, they're either great or rude. Regardless, I keep coming back because I love the atmosphere and the food is great. However, I went recently and I was told by what seemed to be a manager or owner of some sort that they were under new management...and it was extremely obvious. Last I knew it was run and managed by local firefighters, but that no longer seems to be the case. I had called three times already attempting to order takeout; no answer. I showed up to the restaurant and there was a live band playing so it was completely understandable, but never the less, I work at a restaurant and if I missed 3 calls from a customer trying to place an order, I'd be severely punished. It was very busy and I was extremely understanding because as I said, I do understand what it's like to work at a restaurant. The bartender with the ratty ponytail was nothing short of extremely rude from the moment we walked in, I understand it was hectic and busy, but don't take it out on the customers. When it came time to pay, he asked if I had any smaller bills, and when I said I unfortunately didn't he walked away rudely shaking his head as if I was a nuisance because god forbid I was paying in cash and it was my fault he had to make change, I was extremely unimpressed and that was extremely unprofessional. The saving grace of this visit was the previously mentioned gentleman who seemed to be a manager of some sorts, was VERY kind and apologized multiple times informing me of the new management and that things were hectic and I was more than understanding. I'm really hoping this was just a mishap because I do love this restaurant, but if this is the type of service I would continue to receive while going there I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to go back. read more
