My husband and I ate here for the first time last night. We haven't decided if we'll go back. My husband had a Heineken beer and Baked stuff chicken. He enjoyed his meal and said he would go there again. I had a frozen mud slide that nothing like any other mud slide I've ever had. I sent it back and decided on water instead. I ordered the meatloaf dinner and it was mushy and had an odd tasting seasoning giving it a really strange taste. Barely any gravy. I ate about 1/3 of it and filled up on the mashed potatos and butternut squash. That's why I'm not sure if we would go back again, one meal was good the other not so good. Our waitress Maria was the best. She was friendly, pleasant, and very responsive! She made us feel welcome! The building and Grille are beautiful. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant. Everything felt and looked clean. read more

We went for the buffet on Mother's Day. Everyone was friendly and it was a relaxed atmosphere. Our server in particular was exceptionally kind and helpful. Standard buffet scene - folks consuming massive amounts of random food. In the (long) buffet line, people reached over my kids' heads to grab shrimp with their bare hands and licked ranch dressing off their hands before handling the next serving utensil in line. A few food safety concerns, such as lack of sneeze guards over the salads, and difficulty finding a clean plate from the stack. My family all thought the food was okay. Not a lot of options for vegetarians, gluten-free, or vegans though. read more

The food was tasty but a bit high priced given the area. The mushroom flatbread was good but it was slightly burnt. The salads were different and tasty. I do think our waitress was super nice and I don't think it was her fault but our food took quite a long time to arrive from when we ordered to when it came to the table. This was during lunch so unsure whether it was related to that or if this is a problem during dinner time also. The restaurant had good parking. The host staff was nice and friendly. They did have oddly a block on my cell service (maybe the building) but did have free wifi for guests. I would come back to eat but with the caveat that it was on the pricier side. read more

I have been a long time fan of the restaurant. From 2005-07, I actually had lived in Middleboro and always considered it a treat when I went. I've since moved away, but had always hoped to go back whenever I was in the area next and on 6/17/22, after doing some shopping with my mother, we decided to go there for lunch and it was every bit as delicious as I remembered. I started off with the French onion soup and it is by far one of the best that I have ever had. It had plenty of cheese and onions, but I could have gone swimming in that broth. I don't know where they got the recipe from, but it rivals other French onion soups that I have had at more expensive restaurants than this. My mom had the salmon. She said it was flaky and cooked to perfection with asparagus and mashed potatoes and would not have a problem ordering it again the next time she went. I had the baked stuffed chicken with sausage and cornbread stuffing with mashed potatoes and green beans. Now usually, most people would have definitely complained about this, but I noticed that the bottom of the cornbread stuffing had some burnt edges as if they might have left it in the broiler for a minute or two longer than they should have. However, I'm one of those people who loves there meatloaf crispy on the edges because I think it gives it more flavor. So whether this was a happy accident or something, while like I said, others would have complained, but to me it made it more delicious. Lastly, our server was Karen A. and she was so good. We had forewarned her that we might be the people to watch out for only because not only did we order the food that we ate at the restaurant, but we also ordered three dinners to go to take home with us. Not only was she prompt and made sure that we were well taken care of, but my fear any time when it comes to getting take out at a restaurant is always when we unpack it once we get home that something either got forgotten or is some how screwed up and when we got home, the three meals were in perfect shape as if we had them at the restaurant, which we were thankful for because of the distance we had traveled in order to eat there and Karen handled everything like a pro who has worked in restaurants a long time. The meal brought back so many great memories and even though we can't get over there as much as we used to, it was every bit as good as it was when I lived in Middleboro. read more

The Fireside Grille is a convenient stop right off the Middleboro rotary. Easy to get to, this restaurant provides a dimly lit but warm atmosphere. Inside, you are surrounded by dark wood beams, brick walls, and a large, centered fireplace (to be expected). Having sat in the lounge on two seperate occasions, I am torn between the experiences I had with each visit. My first time here was superb. I arrived with a group of 10 people, were seated promptly, had an attentive wait staff, and genuinely enjoyed my evening there. Drinks were cheap (between $4 and $7 dollars), appetizers tasty and readily available. Three hours passed in an instant, the wait staff politely ushering us out. My last visit on the other hand, was supremely different. This time, a group of four, waited on by a robot waitress with no personality, squished into a corner booth away from the bar and entertainment. Drinks remain the same. . . had Chicken Tenders, never again. They were beyond dry, barbecue sauce side (which took two tries to get) was far too spicy. Many items on the menu appeared to be far overpriced for what the group received. Found myself pushing for the meal to be over so as to make our way to the high topped bar stools for a more breathable atmosphere. On the plus side, both visits landed on Thursday nights, where, in the lounge, an Eric Simon plays acoustic guitar and sings a wide range of vocals spanning country, rock, pop, and oldies genres. My recommendation: if you need a relaxed night out for some drinks and entertainment with a group of friends, here is the place to be. read more

Fireside Classic American Grille - Sign Outside - American Near Me - Middleboro, Massachusetts

We were in town for the night from Florida. Went here on the suggestion of the hotel staff at the Holiday Inn down the street. Parking lot was packed on a rainy night. Service was prompt and courteous. All 3 of us enjoyed a nice bowl of clam chowder. It was pretty good. Wouldn't say it was the best I've had but had a good amount of clams and taste to satisfy. My husband ordered the scallops platter and absolutely loved it. Tender and sweet scallops. I had the fried haddock. The breading was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. However, it was a little bland tasting but the tarter sauce helped with that. My son ordered the prime angus bacon cheeseburger and thought it was the best burger he's ever had. Mind you, he's only 18 but it did look good. Pics posted of our dishes. If we ever go back up in the area, we will be back. Yum. read more

Great Sunday buffet. Plenty of food and desserts to choose from. Price was very reasonable. Even the kids loved it. Can't wait to go back.

Another family Thanksgiving dinner at Fireside Grill. It's fairly priced at $19.00, for some mash potato, a little stuffing, turkey, gravy and butternut squash. The whole table ordered the harvest vegetable bisque, unfortunately when it came out, it was quite cool even though the cups were quite hot. We had to wait awhile to get our waitress attention, as to be expected she was very busy. Once realizing there was a problem, she quickly brought out a table of 'slightly' warmer bisques. Because there was a delay with our starters, the turkey dinners showed up as the table was only part of the way through their soups. This didn't sit well with some of the older members of the family, but we made room and finished up the soups quickly. Turkey dinner was ok, I can't say it was great- it always reminds me of a TV dinner, edible. I have to say the Prime rib and popovers looked pretty good from where I was sitting! The pumpkin cheesecake was excellent also, I would highly recommend that! Fireside Grill does do a good job at handling larger parties on holidays! I always thank the wait staff for working a holiday! read more

Nice place with a band. Not a lot of people tonight, live music on. The food was good and food came fast. Nothing to say, really nice little place. I would recommend it if you like burger and private table. read more

Fireside Classic American Grille - the menu - American Near Me - Middleboro, Massachusetts

They are really good when they cook you're steak right. Kinda pricey though even on their appetizers.

Overpriced Cisco products. Very disappointing. This used to be such a great restaurant until the new owners took it over. Won't be going here again. read more

First time at Fireside. Have been to both Barrett's brothers restaurants (all I think). This was by far worse. Bad service, food and experience. They ran out of Prime Rib on Saturday! Service was very slow and the manager was not helpful. Two stars is actually a bonus. The four of us rated food at 4 on 10 point scale. Everything overpriced. Try another spot. read more

The ambience is nice nothing over the top but the prices they charge are absolutely ridiculous. This place is trying to pass it off as a five star Michelin restaurant when it's just your local average restaurant you find anywhere in New England. read more

So the dinner was delicious the portions were good my only complaint is that a. The waiter was covering half the room but not by sections, b. There seemed to only be 2 waiters working in a full restaurant. And c. There weren't any vegetable options to go along with your dinner. read more

Fireside Classic American Grille - Chicken parm with mashed potatoes, fried chicken, Mac and cheese mashed potatoes - American Near Me - Middleboro, Massachusetts

This is definitely better than a two star but I'm reluctant to give it a full three. The appetizer- prime rib egg rolls were very good if not a bit too greasy. The bread is nothing to write home about. BD got the baked haddock with cheddar mashed potato. The fish was still swimming! In the ocean of butter it was served in. The potatoes were thick and resembled more of a glob than a mash. Sticky and just unappetizing. The green beans were fresh and amazing though. LD got the Mediterranean Chicken risotto. There was supposed to be zahtar seasoning on it but if it was there, we didn't see or taste it. The risotto was also in a pool of liquid and was a bit mushy and overcooked (we know this is a delicate dish to cook). The flavor was just...plain. The sangria was fabulous but a bit too small for the price The lighting is not great. Too bright to be a dim cozy and too dark to be light. Also was unsure if the grey coloring of the risotto was bad lighting. When you consider the price tag, we can't justify going back. read more

If you're local, a steak lover and hail from a large family, then you're already acquainted with the Fireside Grille. If you fit into these categories and are not, then you really should be. But if you're seeking a more intimate dinner, this is not the restaurant for you. The rooms are generally large and open. The sound carries far too well. The décor ought to fast forward about three decades, yet a certain quaintness abounds which hearkens back to a simpler time. Sunday brunch is a bargain and a must do for the more gluttonous types. The lot is large and the location is handy. As many of the patrons who fancy the brunch special should immediately resign their licenses, watch carefully as you traverse the parking areas on Sunday afternoons. There are few more dangerous creatures on Earth than the ancient, stuffed to the gills and on-the Road-Way-Past-Nappy-Time-Cause-I-Can grandparent. So grab Little Jonny's hand when you see gray tufts of hair peeking up over an Oldsmobile's steering wheel as it barrels the wrong way across the parking lot with one blinker flashing slowly in the wrong direction. Consider yourself forewarned. It's true that the restaurant is a time warp to the 80s. But it's also true that their prime rib is large, succulent and always delicious the next day. The latter factoid was reinforced for me this past Friday, as I attended a family gathering in the larger function room. The place was fairly busy and for a party of thirteen on a weekend night, I grudgingly commend the service we received. Brusque and unfeeling, but speedy enough. The Fireside Grille offers 36 oz. drafts, so order one to compliment their 24 oz. prime rib. Later, you'll hate me for telling you so - and yourself for listening - but you'll spend about a half hour in food heaven before the diner's remorse sets in. But seriously, it is mouthwateringly phenomenal. It comes with freshly baked bread and a few sides - as if you'd need them - and it had a moderate amount of fat content. But hey, it's prime rib. As for the others in my party, I heard various comments regarding the tastiness of a given plate and the outright condemnation of others (apparently, the chicken piccata really really sucks). Did I care? Uh-uh. Most of their observations were drowned out by the blissful inner quietude and contentedness elicited by the exceptional quality, flavor and consistency of my meal. read more

Fireside Classic American Grille - 24 oz. prime rib - American Near Me - Middleboro, Massachusetts

I would always look forward to Sunday brunch here! My boyfriend and I would make it a point to visit here a couple times a month just to hit their breakfast buffet. The menu was always creative and they had some amazing dishes. However, we went today and left incredibly disappointed. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks like always. Today was especially great since they had live acoustic music. We were greeted right away by the friendly bartender. He took our drink order and told us to head on over to the buffet whenever we were ready. I asked him if I could order some poached eggs with him and he explained that he wasn't sure since he wasn't a daytime bartender, but he'd go to the kitchen and check for us. No big deal, I figured I'd go grab some food first and order later. Not my best choice of 2018.. We made our way over only to have our hopes crushed. The food looked like a raffle event at the Elks Club. They used to have the best dishes there and I barely recognized the place. No lobster salad filled croissants. No prime rib. No former staples of our awesome Fireside Sundays. Instead, they had Caesar salad (which is great and all, but not for a boastful Sunday brunch), deviled eggs, buffalo Mac n cheese (tasted like Kraft), and regular ol run of the mill baked ham. I had already put the basics on my plate when I realized how unimpressive the food was, otherwise I'd have just had my drink and left. When we got back to the bar, the bartender informed us that the kitchen can make me eggs, but it'd be an additional $2 on top of the flat rate for the buffet. As I looked at the menu, I noticed the price of brunch itself went up to $20. I was even more upset when I saw that. The prices went up, but the quality and selection went down..seems pretty messed up. And if I want eggs prepared another way other than scrambled in a heat tray it's going to cost me..but why? This place used to be so great! This happens all too often. Places put profit over people and patrons suffer. We paid our tab, sucked it up, and left. Upset, unimpressed, and most of all unsatisfied. It'd have to take a lot of convincing and a few joints to get me to eat here again. read more

Barrett's Fireside Grille: Had a mint julep in honor of the Kentucky Derby on many of the TV's in the cozy, dark, dining lounge. First sip tasted very watered down so asked waitress for more bourbon or different drink. She came back with a fresh julep in a new glass that was perfect and delicious. My husband requested plain, naked fish which was accommodated. However, it was a bit dry for him being baked instead of broiled. I chose the queen size prime rib with popover. I made the right choice! Perfectly cooked (medium) with sides of aus jus and a creamy horseradish sauce. Instead of potatoes or rice side dishes, I opted for Cole slaw and the mixed vegetables. Both very tasty. A mediocre slice of cheesecake topped us off. Prices are high, especially for beef but the quality is good and the service impeccable. read more

Stopped at the fireside Grill tonight. I have never been there and was in the area picking something up for someone and just looked up restaurants near me. It looked interesting I checked the menu. The menu had some things on it that I would've liked to of tried, and it was only a few miles down the road. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled up. Ample parking. The decor was pleasant. Decided to sit at the bar as the most lively conversations always take place there. Hats off to Ivan who was a bartender and waitress. She suggested the Thanksgiving pizza and as it would have been my lucky night, it was a buy one get one free Tuesday night pizza on the menu. She highly recommended the Thanksgiving pizza told me that once I had it I would be coming back again and again for it. She's right it's an hour away from my house but I will definitely be back. It even had the turkey gravy on it. This pizza was to die for. I also enjoyed a blue moon with orange at the bar. I had some lively conversation with other patrons at the bar and they have been coming there again and again because this restaurant did not disappoint them ever. Restroom was clean, acoustics were great for a very open bar. It was neither too loud nor too quiet. You have to check this out if you're ever in the area. read more

I probably would never have ended up here if it wasn't for an invitation to a First Communion party last weekend. It was a wonderful day with family and friends, but I felt this venue missed the mark a little bit. Upon arriving, my mom and I went off to find the restroom. We walked though a dining room with a large breakfast buffet in progress. Now, this looked amazing. I joked with my mom about skipping the family party and sneaking back into this room for brunch. Bacon and eggs galore! There was even a server in the middle of the buffet slicing up a large piece of beef as we walked by. (Did I hear him correctly? Did he just ask if I would like a slice of beef?) My mom, however, did not agree with skipping the party, so I did not get that slice of beef. Which worked out fine, since he was actually offering it to the couple behind me at a table. Sigh. The function room was spacious with a small bar at the entrance, a stage at the far end, and it's own private set of restrooms (proving the tour of the breakfast buffet was an unnecessary tease). The wall to wall carpeting is dark, but the room has large windows to let in plenty of natural light. The kids had a blast playing on the stage while the adults hit up the bar. So far so good. Now, keep in mind I'm reviewing based on food service for a large party. This was not individual table service in the dining room. We were a group of about 50+ people. Pre-party we each were offered a choice of beef, chicken, or fish. The garden salads were simple and smothered in Italian dressing. As we finished the salads, the servers arrived to collect the empty plates wearing bright blue latex gloves. I'm sure this is for the health and safety of all...blah, blah, etc, but I felt this gave the servers a very cold, sterile, germ-freak type of appearance. There was one server working very hard during the party and seemed to be taking care of the entire group for a while. Soon the bartender donned the blue gloves and jumped on the plate clean up scene. A basket of rolls circulated at one point and then there was a very long wait before the main course. The main course should have been my cue to sneak away to that breakfast buffet. My dad and I had ordered the fish. It was covered in breadcrumb topping overload. Otherwise, it was cooked well. There were about 3 baby carrots on the side and a small portion of very roasted potatoes. I knew just by looking at my mom's chicken that it was overcooked. She smiled politely and said it was good, until the truth came out on the car ride home. The people with the beef didn't have much to say. It certainly didn't look anything like that beef in the breakfast room. I knew I would be hitting the McDonalds drive thru on the way home. The blue gloves came out again to retrieve the plates. The servers were polite and efficient, but seemed very tired and stressed. Very little enthusiasm. There just wasn't enough staff for a party that size. Perhaps this was an off day? I always try to give the benefit of the doubt. We are so grateful to our family for an awesome party, but just wished the food and service were better here. Not a venue I would choose for future parties. However, It may be worth a trip back for that breakfast buffet. read more

I made reservations for Easter brunch for a party of 5. This was for my two children, myself and my mom and her husband. After getting a call from my active duty Coast Guard husband saying he will be able to come home for Easter I immediately called and tried to change my reservation to 6. I was told by the manager they could not accommodate me. I told her the story about my husband and she still said she couldn't switch our table or time and that she was sorry. I just do not understand how a table that fits 5 can not hold 6!!! I know Easter is a busy time but under the circumstances I would have though she would at least try. I cancelled my reservation. This is a week before Easter. Hope I can find another place to go with my family. read more

(Vegan review) Was visiting some friends in Bridgewater and we decided to on this place as having a potential vegan option. I asked the waitress if the pizza crust was vegan. She didn't know but I said if it was to make me a veggie pizza with no cheese. She came back later and said that it was. When the pizza came out it was actually pretty good, (definitely big enough for two people too). The crust had a lot of flavor! The veggie were fresh, alittle pricy for one person at $13 but hey, I have enough for lunch tomorrow. read more

The ONLY good thing about Thanksgiving dinner there was spending time with family. Waited 45 mins. for our reservation in a freezing cold, overstuffed foyer. Spoke to other patrons warning us how awful it was they were right! We had 17 in our party, 2 of which dinners were served 15 mins. after the rest. They were out of prime rib, which we were not informed of prior to being seated. The Mgr. and many hosts in the front had no idea what they were doing. Food arrived cold and much smaller portions given. Waitstaff heard telling other tables they were "out of everything." No one was offered dessert and the Mgr. never visited the table to apologize. A Swanson TV dinner would have been better and@ least we could have gotten what we paid for. Horrible experience! read more

Fireside Classic American Grille - the front of the restaurant - American Near Me - Middleboro, Massachusetts

It's definitely worth giving the Fireside another try if, like us, you had a bad experience in the past. Under new ownership since December 2019, we've now been twice, once for the Sunday brunch and again today for Thanksgiving. Both times the food was very good and the service was outstanding. Every staff member made us feel welcome and appreciated. I think we will become regular patrons of this lovely restaurant. read more

Went here for dinner on the Saturday before Mother's Day. The food was okay, and our waitress Jessie strived to please. My partner ordered prime rib, medium rare. After placing our order, Jessie came back to tell us they that they only had medium well prime rib, so my partner had to re-order. Never on a Sat. night have I seen a restaurant run out of prime rib at 7:00 p.m. Further, the noise level was almost unbearable. There were 3 large parties which were seated near each other. Further, when one party left, the hostess literally dragged chairs on the wood floor in front of our booth, making even more noise. Not exactly "relaxing!" This place used to be a fine dining restaurant, but it's more like a barroom because of all the noise. I doubt we will return. read more

This place used to be a family favorite...until the last year. The last two times I've gone the service was HORRIBLE. The first time was at night and the place was DEAD. The waiter disappeared the entire meal, never asked how our food was or if we wanted more drinks. My moms chicken was not cooked and she had to sit there with inedible food because they never checked on us. The second time was a similar experience, had to chase down the waitress to get a drink. I actually went to the bar at one point during my meal to get my own. I gave 2 stars because I still have hope for this place, the service is atrocious but the place is great location so has room for growth read more

Ok, let me first say that I had to triple check that I had the correct place because at the time of writing this, the Fireside Grille averaged 3 stars...which unfortunately would have probably kept me from checking this place out, however, we came here as a last second decision. That said, I don't know what most of the other Yelpers are complaining about, unless we got very lucky. Maybe if I came back a few times I would be inclined to round down, but after an amazing meal, I will round my 4.5 stars up to 5. A few things: -Yes this is an old-school-ish place. The vibe reminds me of the 70's and 80's, but not in a bad way. Keep in mind I am in my mid 30's, so I am not old, but frankly I can't stand national chains and the Bugaboo Creeking-ing of America. This place is fairly basic. Nice, dark wood throughout; simple but comfortable decor with some photos of old Boston in the entrance. We ate on the pub side, and I loved it for what it was-comfortable, unpretentious but relaxing. They didn't try to squeeze in too many tables like most places seem to do these days. The fireplace itself is large and adds a lot too the room. Just for the vibe I would go back, and mind you I wasn't even drinking...if I was I would have loved it even more. -Yeah, the menu is not for vegetarians. They should work on that by adding an extra entree, but in their defense, most people that go here aren't looking for salads I would bet...They are looking for dead cow I would wager or something from the sea. Frankly if I wanted a salad, I would go someplace else...which is not to say they don't make a good salad, but I would probably never go for something like that at a place like this. It's like going to a cocktail lounge and ordering a PBR. So Annnnnyway...we ordered the crabmeat stuffed mushrooms too start...which were solid, not perfection, but good. We did decline the cheese on top for an extra $1.00 so that could be a factor. Oh yeah, the bread was served warm and the butter (honey butter) was like crack cocaine in the early 80's...you know before it got a bad rap...Oh the good ole day's. :) The Lobster Mac-Cheese wasn't my favorite-but I have had some killer mac-still the g.f. loved it and thought it had a pretty generous helping of lobster. Maybe I am not the best to ask since I was so enthralled with my entree. I had the Cajun steak tips with caramelized onions and blue cheese over a bed of rice pilaf. This is probably one of the top 5 entrees I've had in my entire life! Let me say this - steak tips are not my favorite dish usually, but the caramelized onions and blue cheese meld together to form a joyous union that can only be accurately described as ORGASMIC. If Jesus came to visit me and said "where should we go to dinner, I feel like steak tips?", this is where I would take him. Keep in mind now both Jesus and I are huge fans of caramelized onions and blue cheese. Our waiter Drew was excellent. Gave us time to decide, checked in with us often but gave us room to enjoy one and others company and our meals. Overall I would not hesitate to recommend The Fireside Grill to seafood or meat lovers. read more

This has been the 2nd time that my team at work has decided to go to here and I can not for the life of me understand why. Others share my point of view that this dump should close down and would be better served if it was converted into a park. It's hard to know where to start but lets begin with the so-called quality food they think they're serving. No matter what you get, and I've seen a variety from my co-workers, it either swims in tasteless butter, smothered in something that's lumpy and chalky, or deep-friend with a burnt skin. Of course the imperfections go on but you get the idea. When it comes to the taste, it just doesn't qualify as classic or worldly, more like a dumpster dive that the cook brushed off and tossed with extra greasy stuff to make his incompetence's. There's a utter lack of preparedness that you can instantly tell from any of the side dishes. Today mine came with their interruption of mashed potatoes and butternut squash. Clearly the squash products were from a can, there was a distinct metallic taste while the potatoes were from a box, in no situation is this acceptable. There's just nothing good about the food here and going forward, I will decline any further invites from my co-workers, I suggest you do the same. read more

Just left the restaurant. Been coming there for almost 20 years they ruined a potentially great night out . Sat at the bar. Got ignored for 15 minutes . And when I said something Sandra took our drink order and food order and never came back and the bar tender that we as supposed to wait on us wouldn't even may eye contact never offered us another drink and we got our meals separately when we ordered the same thing. We were there a week before and had a totally different experience never again omg never again. I have never been so pissed off in my life and I work customer service wtf. read more

What a dump. This place is pretty poor. Our server was sweet- so that counts for something. Unfortunately, the butter for bread is sweet enough to frost a cupcake- so gross. Our spinach dip was solidified luke warm cheese and the chips were waaaay stale. The special turkey dinner looked like a TV dinner without the portion container. My Cobb salad was average, and I was starving- so I am lucky. Will not go back. read more

Just went for a quick lunch today and had a great server named Corey.. Very nice gentleman.. he was the only thing that was great. My boyfriend and I both had the French Onion Soup and it was so salty.. I have this almost everywhere we go and never had so much salt in it like this time. Then we ordered the calamari and there was so much fried batter we couldnt even eat it. We even peeled away the batter to see how the caramari looked and it was so small.. We usually have a great meal here but today was something different. Keep up the good work Corey and maybe you can tell the kichen go easy on the salt! Thanks! read more

Very nice company on a Monday evening; funny patrons at the bar, and Brenna was one of the cutest barkeeps I've ever met. No surf-n-turf on the menu, so I ordered both the prime rib and lobster separately. Prime rib was very tasty, and quite a hefty serving. Dinner was a steal considering I had a coupon from the innkeeper at the nearby Marriott-ish hotel (I think it was a Fairfield) who recommended this joint. I would revisit this place again. read more

I have heard of the Fireside Grille in the past, but finally went a couple of months back, and have returned three times since. Their menu is really vast. I've only had a few things, but everything I've had has been really good! The clam chowder here is excellent! I ordered it on a whim, and it was better than most places I've ordered it from in the past. The rib meat and cheese panini is awesome! The waitstaff and bar staff and all really good! The bar has plenty of tv's to watch the big game. The beer selection is excellent! Plenty of craft beer, and the go to domestic beer as well. read more

I really enjoy visiting the Fireside Grille. The stretch of Route 44 between Taunton and Middleboro has a number of chain casual dining options, but it's really worth the time to drive right past them and head to the Fireside. It's located right off Route 495 in Middleboro at the rotary of routes 44 and 28. There's plenty of parking and the restaurant is large enough so that there's normally not a long wait, even during busy hours. As the name suggests, the atmosphere is casual and cozy, if not a little dated. The rooms are open and spacious and seating is available in booths and at smaller tables. The host and wait staff are attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The menu consists of simple American fare prepared well. You're greeted with a basket of warm bread and a sweet honey butter that is just indulgent. The menu isn't overly adventurous, but it covers the basics and can easily satisfy the meat-eaters among us. None of the dishes rank as the best I've ever had, but all are significantly better than you'd get at a comparatively priced chain restaurant. The best value is with their Sunday brunch, which consists of an incredible buffet of breakfast and dinner options and fresh pastries. You can load up on a Western omelette and hash browns on one trip, then enjoy freshly carved turkey and trimmings on another. All-in-all, the Fireside Grille delivers a terrific dining experience. Good, familiar food in a comfortable setting, served in the company of nice people. Nothing wrong with that on any level. read more

Went there tonight with family since we were in the mood for something different. I have been there many years ago for company function and always thought this place is old and dingy. Tonight we were served by a wonderful waitress (Stephanie). Very friendly. The food from the main menu is over priced. We went with their 3 course meal for $13. This included drink, salad/soup, entrée, and dessert. The volume of the food itself makes me question how they make money. Oh they also serve you warm bread and honey butter, which is nice considering we were starving. The restaurant itself is clean. Looks like they tidy it up abit. Thought still abit dark for family meal, can serve well for romantic meal. Bathroom is very clean. My son even made a comment that it smells peachy. The general crowd is on the older side. My wife and I are in our 40s, and we were pups among the patrons. I rather like it since senior citizens tend to be quieter and more relaxed. The food unfortunately is just so so. It's like eating food from the Diner or Denis than an somewhat fancy restaurant. My four star rating is based on the super friendly service and clean restaurant. If solely based on food it'd be three. read more
