This was our second time here, and once again it was absolutely worth the drive from Fort Wayne! The service was amazing--so friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment we walked in. I had the anti-carb burger with a side salad, while he had the ribs and brisket. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere is cool and laid-back, with a full bar and a great beer selection. The Double Oak Old Fashioned was top notch, and the Saugatuck Lake Street Lager was the perfect beer to go with the BBQ. Great food, great drinks, great vibes, and genuinely wonderful service. There's a reason we made the drive back for a second visit, and we'll definitely be back again! read more

Nostalgic building with a current trendy vibe. Nice place, love the decor, tasty beer choices and unique spin on menu items, I had the choice of two meets and the waffle fries. Perfect amount of food not too much not too little. The pork and brisket were delicious and perfectly prepared, could have used a little bit more sauce to make up for the void of deep smoked flavor of BBQ. All in all great place for a beer lunch and or diner. I would definitely go back and try a few more menu items and beers. Diana S. Killed it. She must own the place or just super efficient! Great service. read more

Very friendly service and staff. Nice setting in quaint downtown LaGrange. Beer selection is great and the barbecue is tasty.

Had the smoked wings platter and 2 meats choice platter...bbq pork and brisket...everything was great. Our server was Cristyn and she did a great job! I'd recommend asking for her! read more

First time here. When walking in clearly could smell the nice smoky food. So I asked the waiter what is all smoked. I ordered the smoked brisket, onions and baked beans, that the waiter also mentioned. Nothing had a smoky flavor. Brisket was dry. So food was a disappointment. Beer was good but pricey at $9/pint. Asked waiter for 2 beer samples, she only gave enough for me, not my wife. Overall, not a good experience. read more

The good: clean bathrooms. Nice staff. Big menu. The burger was great. The bad: the bacon is like the kind you get at Wendy's. Maybe thinner. Weak. Definitely need to upgrade your bacon if you offer it as a side. Apparently the anti-carb bun option costs $3 and we didn't know that until we got our bill. If I had known 2 small cheese crisps were gonna cost me $3, I would've just said "no bun". They're not big into tellin you about their up charges either so make sure you kno what sides are normal sides and signature sides. read more

Fantastic service, quality food, great variety, and decent price! Visited with a group of 8 adults and 4 kids on a Thursday evening. We were seated immediately by an enthusiastic staff. They were very gracious with our party size, and patiently waited as we got situated and perused the lengthy menu. There were a couple of very cool specials (BBQ ribs and chicken legs, potato salad), but their regular menu was plenty enticing as well. Being a large group, we ordered quite the variety. Everything was really great. Portions were a little unbalanced, but for the most part tended on large! Flavors were fantastic, and we were stoked to have found the spot on our journey. Check out the photos I'm posting for more! read more

Food was really good and waitress was on top of everything. I can't wait to go back next time I am in Cincinnati

Wow. My wife convinced me to come here instead of Essenhaus while we visiting the area. Wow was it good. Started with garlic cheese curds. Had the calypso chicken sandwich and burger made the same way. Both were good but the smokiness of the chicken went better with the spice. For sides the broccoli salad was amazing. read more

As someone who loves indulging in food-related experiences, a private, five-course meal at LaGrange County's Fireside Craft Burgers & Brews on Tuesday night was right up my alley. Joining others from the Supper Club of Michiana, Fireside owners, Chris and Marsha, took our group on a culinary journey through their menu - serving mini versions of the most popular items. And while they may not take themselves seriously, their food, drinks, and hospitality are seriously impeccable! The trip to LaGrange to enjoy the craft brews full menu of YUMMY food and fun ambiance is worth the miles and extra calories! read more

Their smoked meats are very flavorful and tender. The platter includes a corn bread muffin that is to die for. I'm not a corn bread fan but theirs is awesome with moisture and sweetness. Make sure you order one. They also make a tasty beer cheese for pretzels, burgers and other things. Huge beer selection. The servers do a great job. The wait isn't long most nights and times. Food arrives quickly after you order. Family room is nice with open brick walls. Lagrange is lucky to have a nice local restaurant like Fireside. read more

My husband had one of the specials and it was so large he couldn't finish it. The waitresses always remember us even though we don't get down to Indiana every month. Never have to wait for another beer and the Strawberry Mojito after dinner is to die for. Chris, the owner, usually stops by to say "Hi". It's just a corner restaurant/bar but it has the homey welcome feeling when you walk through the door. read more

Met my bestie for a girls weekend and discovered this place! It quickly became our favorite place for dinner on two different nights. The staff was friendly and suggested great food and drinks for us. Loved the smoked food smell when you walk in. This place is a local favorite, as it quickly filled up as the night went by. Fun, local place to enjoy great food. Felt like I traveled back in time in this area, loved the quaint, small time vibe. We didn't eat anywhere else besides the hotels continental breakfast and here. read more

If I could give it a 10 star rating I would! We were seated promptly. Placed our order and let me tell you, the meal came out piping hot and made to perfection! The waitress was so attentive and friendly. Make this your next stop. You won't be sorry. I promise! read more

If I had a late pick up then why did it take them 10 minutes to get my food around and you left one voicemail which I wouldn't go back to you guys if you offered me everything on your menu for free so you could take your bunch of lies and shove it. My pictures speak for themselves, especially what you call macaroni and cheese. read more

Was visiting a nearby town and decided to make a detour. Glad we did! Food was amazing! Great service! Nice atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Great vibe, food is amazing. Got the smoked meat platter. Was sad they got rid of the baby potatoes. Tiff is the best. We will be back again. read more

We were in Shipshewana for a conference and learned about this place on Yelp. It was the perfect place to meet friends who live nearby and had been wanting to to try it. Great salads and sandwiches, and my husband enjoyed a brew, which is a little harder to find in Shipshewana. It's in a quaint, older part of LaGrange. Not a big place, but that made it intimate and relaxed. We definitely would come again. read more

Food was fantastic and our server Tiffannie was even better!!! Will definitely be back again!!

We come to Fireside often and have always had a great experience. Their beer selection is excellent and changes regularly so that we can always try new ones. The burgers are juicy and thick with lots of toppings available. The servers are super-friendly and attentive, even when things get busy. read more

Tiffonnie was a great server. Food was wonderful and service was 5-star. Wrangler burger was awesome and we will definitely be back.

Awesome place that has a large selection of craft beers from tap, bottles and cans. We had a group of 5 on a Saturday afternoon. We got seated immediately ordered drinks, got those then ordered the drunken bread bowl filled with beer cheese. Then ordered lunch everything was served together and all tasted excellent. Our server Tiffanie was awesome with excellent knowledge of the beers and food they served. She won't steer you wrong. Wonderful place that has excellent food and excellent staff. read more

We come three times a year when we are Shipshewana for a quilt retreat. We always go on Thursday nights when they play Slingo. It's so much fun and Tiffonie (sorry if I misspelled it!) is great at the game as well as making a great margarita! It's fun to listen to the songs but they always tell you the name of the song so you don't miss out on a Slingo (Bingo). The food is very good as is the service. But we really do come to play Slingo! read more

The food is great, the service wonderful and the overall atmosphere is fun! They treat you like a special friend!

The food was amazing. The drinks wonderful. Couldn't believe this was our in the middle of no where. Pretzel bites, best ever. Brisket sandwich, wow, desert lots of choices. I wish I lived nearby. read more

Sweet!! Been here twice, two different wraps. Excellent each time! And bonus, no shrimp on the menu! Bring on the waffle fries!!!! Service is friendly and professional. The owner even stopped by to make sure things were good. Kitchen was a little slow, but I'd put that down to it being 6pm on a Friday night. read more

Very rarely do I come to Lagrange and when I do there are so few dining options. Thought we would try Fireside to support local business. Ordered take out meals as dining in during the pandemic is not a safe option. Waited for 45 min to get our food and my son gets his Mac and Cheese which is supposed to be a good seller. What he gets instead is pasta shells with water and a little bit of cheese sprinkled on top. If you are one of only a few places to eat in town it would be good to put more effort into what you are providing the people here. read more

Fireside Craft Burgers & Brews - Awful Watery Max and Cheese. - New American Near Me - LaGrange, Indiana

My wife and I ate here the other night. We were visiting Shipshewana and found several good reviews of Fireside so we stopped by. While the burgers here are good, they are not great. The combinations they come up with are creative but the quality doesn't quite match the creativity. I had the Beer Cheesinator and thought that the bacon could have been crisper. My wife had the Patty Wack. The fries were average at best and their fry sauce, while intriguing, did little to improve the fries. Last but not least, the atmosphere...visually, it is a nice looking restaurant. But the sound was a cacophony of two different music sources. It was very annoying and I found it hard to enjoy my meal. read more

First time here. Amazing service. The servers were very knowledgeable and offered suggestions . The owner came around to make sure everything was good. The best part the food. I had the pulled pork and brisket duo. The most tender meat I have had in a very long time. The beer was very good. My favorite was the corn muffin. I ordered two to take back to the hotel. When we come back again this will be our first stop. Loved the brick walls. Wish they were closer. read more

Awesome little brewery hidden in Lagrange, IN. You gotta stop in and try a few craft brews and the Burgers are delicious. Try one of their featured items because they don't stay around long. The first time we stopped I had the Angry Oinker (jalapeños, pulled pork, and lots of other delicious toppings). This time I ordered the Jalapeño Business Burger, an awesome creation with a double cheeseburger, bacon, and jalapeños served on a cake Donut!). Amazing but you'll need a fork because the donut doesn't hold together very well. They have a few of their own beers and lots of guest taps! You have to try the Sweetwater 420 Strain!! OMG it smells like Mary Jane! One of the most unique brews I have ever tried (and I've sampled a lot...lol)! You cannot go wrong with this place! read more

Went there on a Tuesday night and loved the building. Nice use of an older building with a modern update. Appetizers came out quick and we're pretty good for a quick fried treat but lacked any seasoning. Pickle sauce was outstanding but a little watery. Smoked meat was done well but BBQ sauce tasted like a basic out of the bottle mix. Cornbread just tasted like a butter fried cake. No salt or really any taste of corn. Waffle fries were cooked well but no salt. Burger was cooked perfect but once again no seasoning. Bun was a perfect addition to the juicy meat. Mac and cheese was a joke. A cup of shells with a butter sauce, zero cheese flavor or seasoning. For an "upgraded" side I would expect something a lot more flavorful. Bread pudding was a dense cut of microwaved bread with a bit of cinnamon. No texture just dry sweetened bread. Needs some sort of caramelized nuts or something and maybe a scoop of ice cream if your going to do it like that. Bar had an impressive amount of beers on tap and an assortment of drinks. Service was okay. Odd side note. Someone had ripped off the toilet seat in the bathroom and shoved it in the corner... Not sure what to make of that but it didn't look like a new development. read more

Sorry no pictures because we cleaned our plates. Portobello fries were super crunchy and tasty. I had the Bacons my Jam burger. Every bite was delicious. My husband ate the moo oink and said it was great. Burgers were cooked perfectly and not dried out. Staff is super friendly. read more

We love this place and the drink selection is amazing ! It's like our own home town "Cheers"! The staff and owners are wonderful and make you feel welcome every time ! Have a staffing party coming up, it's a great place for that. The service and food are above and beyond expectations ! On the weekends during the day we say it's our own private party in the bar with our music playing and singing to our favorite tunes on the great modern juke box and nobody even cares ! Nothing left to do but smile smile smile ! That's how we feel after leaving! read more

Finally, a place open on Sunday. All you Lakers need to come up here and eat. It is wonderful, especially. if you want to treat somebody. The beer is fantastic. Love all the flavors My husband love it. This will be our new Sunday place. read more
