Nashville Hot and some fried okra!
Rick M.

Went with a group of people last week. They have some great menu choices. I had the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich which was really good and had fried okra too (good stuff). Cool place inside with good customer service. We all enjoyed our food. Definitely coming back!

Brisket plate with creamy corn and okra; mac n fries in the back.
Aiko M.

I love this place! There's not really any decent BBQ in North County, making this business worth the drive. I have done takeout several times and have dined in as well. The quality of the food is outstanding; however, sometimes the brisket is fattier than usual. I've tried all the meats and that is still my favorite... followed by the ribs. My go-to sides are the fried okra and spicy creamed corn, but I would happily eat any of them. My husband's favorite is the brisket over mac n cheese with fries; it is a heavy meal and good for sharing. I really like the fat corkscrew pasta and thin cheese sauce! Everyone is consistently friendly here; the ambience is loud and fun. There's several televisions, a bar, al fresco dining, and a decent amount of interior space. One time we hoped to visit and it was closed for private event via a piece of paper taped to the door; we saw no indication of closure when checking the website for hours of operation that day. Overall, I highly recommend this spot! Pros: - really good meats - family meal to try a bit of everything - parking lot and street - friendly - food presentation Cons: - none really, except they might randomly be closed

Pulled Pork Sandwich Mac & Cheese
Josh B.

This place is awesome. The food? 10/10. The vibes? 10/10. We got the pulled pork sandwich with side of Mac and cheese, and it was so good. Really a comfort meal for me. The meat is super tender and soft and the Mac and cheese was super good some of the best I've had. They have a good spicy bbq sauce as well.

I have been walking past by this place for months. The aroma from the barbecue is enticing! Firehouse has indoor and out door seating. They have counter service. The staff is friendly, helpful and inviting. The food is delicious. No complaints at all. I'm from TX, and have had a lot of barbecue growing up. I'm use to daily home made barbecue sauce and fixings on the side like onions, jalapeños and pickles. I noticed this trend in not in CA. Maybe one day! We will definitely be back to Firehouse! I enjoyed our food and experience.

Spacious interior and patio
Jerry H.

This local bbq restaurant is smoking and slow cooking fine quality meats from ribs to chicken. This restaurant is a spacious, warm and homie interior with indoor and covered patio seating. We loved that they featured wine from the local Fallbrook Winery. Service was very friendly and welcoming. The baby back ribs, tri tip and chicken were the best we have tried in San Diego. It's served smoked and dry so you can pick your sauce. We will be back. A must try in north county. We loved it!!!

Mac and cheese, fried okra, potato salad
Stephanie T.

Got the family meal for two people. It was enough for us both with left overs, and not much more money than two entrees. The potato salad was really good, as was the Mac and cheese. The fried okra was kind of soft tho and wasn't very good I thought. The sausage is rather spicy, which I was surprised about. The tri tip and chicken were very good here as well. The pulled pork and brisket were okay. Not very flavorful tho. They ran out of some of the meats and sides. The creamed corn was also spicy, so I wasn't able to get that either as I'm a wuss with spicy food.

Looks like an original step into an fire station old fire station-office

We wanted something different on the way back to SD. Found this little place in Fallbrook! It was an old fire station, which was cool to see as a fire retiree myself. Old pictures placed inside and still look's like some original treasures there from back then. Chicken sandwich and fries were very GOOD! My salad was plentiful and had a lot of chicken. Staff was very friendly. We will come back for a sunny day lunch!!

Inside view

Had the brisket sandwich. Very tender and moist. Lots of flavor. Plenty of bbq sauce at the tables. Friendly staff and average prices. About 12 beers on tap. Sports bar feel.

Mac & Fries
Noah R.

We found this place once and have not gone to any other bbq place since the flavors the meat the service is unmatched the employee with the purple hair I love her attitude she makes it so fun even just ordering she always cracks and joke and make me laugh last time there was live music which was a pleasant bonus MAC AND CHEESE IS SO NICE AND CREAMY the ribs FALL OFF THE BONE the chicken is nice and tender I highly recommend the sampler plate you get a little bit of everything and I think they are priced very very fair food always comes out nice and fresh we have. Brought multiple friends here and we willl continue to be back thank you

Nashville fried chicken sandwich with side of fried okra
Pranjali S.

Absolutely wonderful place and I highly recommend coming here if you are in Fallbrook! We wanted burgers after a decent hike and decided to try this out. It is located in an old firehouse and has an eclectic ambiance. They have T-shirts from a bunch of breweries on the walls, pictures of the old firehouse and other cool art. They have tables and booths and everything is super clean. The lady who took our order was very nice, friendly, helpful and checked in on us intermittently, which was nice. We ordered the beef brisket sandwich with a side of beans, the Nashville fried chicken sandwich with a side of fried okra (both sandwiches with slaw inside the sandwich rather than on the side), a beer and a cider. The Nashville Fried chicken was excellent! Fiery, saucy, crunchy, absolutely delicious. I couldn't stop eating it! Slaw inside the sandwich is the way to go by the way, as they only do meat and bread otherwise. The brisket was also good, but needed more sauce and felt a little plain flavor wise when compared to the blast of flavor from the Nashville fried chicken. The fried okra with the spicy mayo dip was excellent and I recommend taking this as a side. The beans were decent but, again, felt blah in comparison to the okra. Both the beer and cider were excellent. The pricing is also reasonable. We will definitely be back!

Family meal was well worth it!
Jacel R.

I don't often leave reviews anymore but the service was so amazing I had to leave a review. Every single person we were in contact with - from placing our order, checking on us at our table, bussing, etc - I think we saw every single person there - they were so kind. And the food was AMAZING! TVs with padres game on. And my friends picky kiddos ate the food too - so that's how you know it's great lol.

See all

My only qualm would be that the cash only system is outdated, it is 2025 we need to be able to accept credit and debit cards. Otherwise I would come and visit much more often. Pulling out cash is a major pain in the @ss and inconvenience. We don't care if there's an ATM right there because we don't want to pay an ATM fee just to have a couple drinks. The wait staff are VERY kind and COURTEOUS. Thank you! However the DJ is kind of a d!ck, and by that I mean a complete A-hole. He selectively chooses who he will allow to sing at karaoke and who he will not allow. And I am one that he will not allow. He only plays one type of music, which is old school hip hop, which I do not mind, but is just a pre-made setlist and he has no interest in playing music people actually want to hear, he just does his own thing and ignores everybody else. So I think you need to get rid of that guy John, who does the music, he is not nice to anyone and treats them all like garbage. Other than that it's a great place.

Full of personality, energy, and fun! Plus outstanding service! The customers are fun & friendly too! Just realize that part of being a great dive bar includes plenty of salty language ; ) Being here is like going back in time to the 60's when my dad had a regular local bar! Then when my buddies & I turned 21 we started coming regularly too - much to my dad's misery - haha! Don't hesitate, come & have fun! Tell Jessie her newest customer Andy from Newport sent you.
