    Escargot. Homemade croutons in background.

    We had eaten here many years ago. I didn't realize it was still open. We took a road trip to try it again. The place hasn't been updated. Still looked pretty much the same. It's small, quaint and intimate. The service was good. Our waitress was very attentive with getting drinks or whatever else we needed. The salad is simple with the exception of sunflower seeds. Their dressings are homemade. We had blue cheese and ranch and both were good. Their homemade croutons are amazing! We had escargot for our appetizer, which is not offered at many places. It was tasty and we used the croutons to eat them with. I had the filet and the potato casserole. My steak was cooked to how I ordered and the potato casserole was really good. My husband had the Cajun prime rib and loaded baked potato. His prime rib was also cooked to order and tender. Not especially spicy as it was Cajun. I added the lobster tail and we shared it. It was cooked just right. Tender and juicy, not dry and rubbery like I've had at other places. We ordered the fried peaches with ice cream. It came with 2 dipping sauces. One was maybe raspberry and one was caramel. I would say it was average. Only because I compare it to the old Harry Bear's fried peaches that were delish! We will definitely go again. It was worth the drive. It is only open Friday and Saturdays.

    Fireside. Oh how I adore you. When I reflect back on my life, I see so many fond memories shared with you, the romantic dinners, anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions & other times just because. You have always been there for us, a constant in our lives, with you unwavering devotion. No other can compare or imitate you, they would simply break themselves trying, crumble at your feet. You are special, you are one of a kind, you are my Fireside by my little sea. You make my heart burst with flames like a organ of fire. You will forever be my one & only true love. My favorite place to have a good steak in the world. I promised I would never write a review, but after this last birthday dinner I changed my mind. Love like steak is rare & this one needs to be shared ;) Some places Just have a life of their own & this place has its own pulse. You would think it was crafted for a movie set. Like a fine wine cured, it's vintage refined & preserved. It has miraculously remained unscathed, even though the area is Tornado country. Out in the middle of NOWHERE you would never know this place existed. A cozy old lake house cottage turned into a steakhouse positioned on a gorgeous wooded lot across from lake Murray. It has a history, a very charming old world romantic vibe. When you walk into this place it's like you have walked back in time & everything takes on a new meaning. Time stands still, the surroundings calm you, large picturesque Windows surround you bringing the natural beauty outside right to your table & if you get a table by the entrance, you will also be near the cozy circular stone fireplace. Then, there is incredible food. Ran by a well seasoned Chef that used to work on a cruise ship, he knows how to make a perfect steak, execute a perfect French sauce & makes perfectly cooked vegetables. Every time. He's consistent. Very consistent. That combined with the stellar service & a good wine list that has Oregon Pinot Noir, who cares if it's in BFE? It's wicked phenomenal! The menu has remained the same for years. It's a small simple menu, however it's all executed to perfection. I have tired everything, however, I only order the salmon & filet. Hubby loves the prime rib. We both LOVE the complimentary little house salad with the sunflower seeds that comes in the wooden bowl with the custom made trio of house made dressings. Hope that never changes. We crave that little salad. YUMMY! :).... I'm grateful for the weekly specials, however, living nearby I really wish there were another fish or shellfish dish added to the menu as I adore seafood. While I'm on my wish list, it would be nice if there were a couple of Bordeaux's & a french Champagne added to the wine list as well ;) For my birthday dinner, the special was a 10 oz center cut filet with asparagus topped with a Béarnaise sauce on a bed of spinach (needs to be added to the menu) one of my favorite dishes. Like he knew it was my birthday or some cosmic alignment happened or something bc the whole dinner was superb. Made just the way I like it. That dinner, just like all the others b4 it, will forever be seared into my memory it was so perfect. The center cut filet was around 2 inches thick, a perfect med rare just like I ask. It had a perfect crust on both sides. Seasoned to perfection, oozing all around with the creamiest velvety Béarnaise sauce alongside asparagus that was cooked to perfection. The asparagus vibrant green in color, fully in tact, handled with the utmost care, still firm but just soft enough from being blanched exactly the right amount of time. Everything was hot, including the fresh rolls that magically appeared, with the fresh whipped butter. *drooling* Then, if that wasn't bomb enough, they just had to bring out a fireside delight & set it down in front of me. If it's your b-day at Fireside you automatically get the Fireside delight. Oh yeah. It's delectable. It's delicious. It's de-lovely. It's the Fireside delight & it's delightfully SINFUL. It comes in this giant glass banana split looking bowl, it's all made in house, comes out warm to the touch & the smell of it is incredible. Somewhere inside there is this big chunk of chocolate cake/brownie that is so light & airy but super chocolatey bc it's surrounded by all this warm gooey dark chocolate sauce. Not too sweet not too bitter. Then, there are chopped nuts & this big scoop of vanilla ice cream hiding under all this whip cream & more dark chocolate sauce with a cherry on top. Omg. I don't even like sweets or desert & this thing is mind blowing! Fireside, you have stolen my heart. I love you. I have always loved you. I love you Fireside delight! You naughty sinful bowl of chocolatey yumminess. You will always be my first love. You had me at "hello can I take your order." Hours are 5pm to 9pm Tuesday -Saturday only. Reservations recommended.

    See all

    The food is bomb! My husband and I have stayed here twice and each time its been wonderful. I had…read morenever had duck before and the duck I had was so flavorful and tender, highly recommend! The fish and steak were good, but the duck was amazing. AND the twice baked potato was soooo good and the pesto they provide with some yummy buttery garlic toast is super good too. Unique and tasty salad. All in all LOVE this restaurant/bed and breakfast. And the dessert was amazing too! Their breakfast is also good. Love love love this place. Will be coming back for future anniversaries. The massages are really good too. I recommend doing an hour or more instead of standard 30 minutes. The ambiance is nice also. Not stuffy and overly fancy/sterile but comfortable, welcoming and classy.

    A hidden gem! Spectacular service and food reminiscent of what one would expect from upscale…read morerestaurants in the 80's oil boom! The owners and staff have left no stone unturned in perfecting the dining experience. The complimentary peach hibiscus mimosas with fresh pressed juice are delightful. The salad was impressive. The entree was unbelievable. Filet fit for a queen, grilled duck breast was surprisingly tender and so flavorful, Alaskan halibut was fresh and cooked to perfection, who needs the sides?! We could not finish our entrees and were offered to-go containers. Dessert of lemon cake with vanilla mousse and blackberry sauce was enjoyed as a midnight snack and left us dreaming of this fabulous meal. Cannot wait to visit again!

    It was a cool, Sunday morning and finally decided to stop and try this little place out. Let me…read moretell you that the parking lot was full as well as the waiting lobby. They told me it would be about a 10 minute wait and that was about what i waited before being seating. I knew by the way this place was packed and people willing to wait, that it must be worth it. I was not disappointed. As soon as i was seated i was greeted by my server and ordered a coffee and a Dr. Pepper. This gave me a couple of minutes to look over the menu. Before i knew it, in the blink of an eye and before i could scan over the forst page of the menu, the server was back woth my coffee and drink. While sipping on my coffee i browsed the menu and found what inwanted for breafast. Which by they way, they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I ordered the double (see pic of menu for desription) As i watched the room noticing that as soon as a party left the bus boys were on the table quickly to clean and turn it over and the hostess already had the next group ready to be seated. This explained while the wait wasnt as long as expected as they turn over tables quickly. The next thing is knew, my food was at the table, hot and fresh. The food didn't disappoint either as it was all cooked perfectly and had good flavor. My server checked on me as what I consider perfect timing and the right amount of times where you are not bothered but dont have to look around for a refill or assistance. All in all, this place was a quaint little country kitchen, with excellent service and food. They are well staffed to handle the crowds with ease and plenty of cooks to get your food out in a timely and fresh n hot manner. Awesome place.

    Good food and Service. The owners name is Phil Tabor. We…read moreknow this because we stopped in around 8:40am on a Sunday. It was busy but we got sat as soon as we walked in. There were lots of waitresses in there with t-shirts on with Phil's face on them. I guess it was his birthday and they surprised him. It was good to see that they all love him. This is an old cafe. The seats aren't the most comfortable, but pretty expected since we were in a cafe. You could tell there were lots of locals in there. My mom got the blueberry short stack. She said they were great. Came out with three pancakes that had the blueberries cooked inside and on top. Pancakes were the size of a plate. They filled her up and she couldn't eat them all. My dad and husband got regular breakfast items. Toast, eggs, bacon, and hash browns. It all looked good and they ate all of it. I had the chicken fry with white gravy, 2 eggs, grits, and hash browns. All of my food was good. I was a bit disappointed in the gravy because it didn't seem homemade. Hash browns and eggs cooked perfectly. Grits were hot. No special flavors. Sorry I forgot to take photos.
