We planned on leaving the resort to go try Trackside our last night but it was raining so we decided to stay put and try Fireside. The waitress Arlene was super sweet and on point. The food was amazing. The special cocktails were amazing. Great atmosphere as well. The kids meals were big and included fries as well as fruit and veggie sticks. read more

I was really hoping I'd be the first reviewer! We are a local family that visits Great Wolf at least once a week, if not more. My daughter absolutely adores this place. When we found out the buffet was closing and they were opening Fireside, my daughter literally etched the grand opening date in her brain. Lo and behold, she woke up this morning and reminded me to make a reservation so we'd be the first ones there! I'm really so glad we were! I am the type of person that loves to try everything a restaurant has to offer, especially when it's just opening. My daughter chose a cheeseburger off of the kids menu and loved it. I decided to go with the French dip sandwich, Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese. Sure that may be a lot of food for two people, but that's why they have to-go boxes, right? I'm starting with the Brussels sprouts because I am so picky with how I like these cooked. Truthfully, I would have eaten these off the floor if I dropped one. I'm so glad they had these on the menu. Just an all around great vegetable option to have on the menu! French dip was absolutely delicious! Bread was fresh and the meat was so tender and not fatty at all! The au jus was wonderful and made the perfect accompaniment to my sandwich. I normally prefer burgers when there's one on the menu, but would order this again and again if given the option. Glad our waitress suggested it! Now the Mac and cheese is next level! Came out piping hot and so creamy with a crispy topping that we both loved. My daughter can be semi-picky at times, but she dove right into her Mac without a complaint. Id say it could easily feed 3-4 depending on what you get as an entree. As stuffed as we were from all of the delicious fare we scarfed down, we couldn't leave without trying the Fireside Family S'mores! Who am I kidding? My daughter wouldn't let me live it down if I didn't get it for her! Lol An extremely tasty, fun treat to enjoy as a family. Warm dip with toasted marshmallows! Along side skewered bananas, strawberries, pound cake, graham crackers and homemade potato chips! So good and a great way to end the night! For our drink options we had diet soda and fruit punch and I really wanted to try the Mocktail Raspberry mojito, which I will definitely add alcohol to next time. It was mojito perfection! The service and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Staff is accommodating and we were checked on frequently to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Drinks were kept full, dirty dishes immediately cleaned off of the table and not once did I find myself looking for my waitress. As busy as they were, she was constantly there and so were other members of the staff. The buffet was our family dinner spot and we visited frequently being that we live so close! Now we can make Fireside our new tradition. Thank you to everyone we crossed paths with today. I wish I would have gotten some names and titles, but I tend to be shy. I also wish I would have taken a few more pictures of our beautiful dishes of food. Next time....... Much luck and good wishes on this new venture. We love Great Wolf and this just makes us love it even more! If you're visiting or just local and want a nice quiet place to eat or have a drink, make sure to stop by and check it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

The reviews were so bad we didn't choose to eat here, but because we ran out of time we had to. Guess what ? It was VERY GOOD. Our service was amazing. There was a mistake made by the kitchen but they fixed it immediately. I had the harvest bowl with chicken. I enjoyed it. My husband had the wings. He said they were pretty good. My kids had kids meals that met their expectations! The cost actually wasn't as insane as I expected. They ask for feedback and I believe they honestly want to make the customers happy. So, we gave our opinions. It's not easy working at a resort. I can't imagine with all the changes at this one. But we had a good meal and left happy and well fed. read more

Food was great, but the selections could have been wider . The service was great and the ambiance definitely gave that upscale feeling.

My son loved his kids burger. Server was attentive to kids' needs. The rest of the experience - poor. Adult entrees were not good and they had no cutlery available. Someone came up to us and gave us some plastic spoons (I had hot soup). No knives or forks. read more

This is supposedly the best restaurant at Great Wolf Lodge. This was our first stop after checking in the other day and now I'm really disappointed in the choice to get a prepaid food package for my family's mini-vacation. The servers were nice, but the food showed up suspiciously quickly after being ordered, it was very overcooked, and it was shockingly expensive. I'm guessing it was either sitting around under a heat lamp or microwaved. The (non-alcoholic) drinks took longer to arrive than the food did. read more

The food was horrible for the price. I ordered a cheeseburger medium rare it was completely rare in the inside my daughter ordered the chicken lime bowl it was watery. We sent both of them which we weren't going to do because we hate to do that. It was not edible for us. I asked for medium burger got rare again and the bowl was watery again. You're better off going out of the resort, or having pizza at the resort pizza place. read more

The service was top notch, everyone so kind. Especially our server, Kelly. The food was delicious and fresh. The ambiance was relaxing. read more

The pulled pork sandwich was delicious. The addition of the pickles was unexpected (although probably said on the menu) and very welcome. The short rib bolognese was also delicious! read more

Ambiance is nice, not really made for young kids. Food is nothing spectacular. You're not left with many options at GWL though.

Promptly seated with our reservation, service was great, however, the kids meals are embarrassing! Priced from $10.99-12.49 they give you super small portions. They consisted of mostly fries and barely more. Do better. read more

The restaurant is very beautiful, the food is great, our waitress is excellent, it's only about the attitude of the receptionist and the hostess, the rest is spectacular! read more

The food was outrageously priced 36 for salmon. The breakfast fruit was spoiled 2 days in a row. French toast sticks were hard. Waitress took our order and delivered our check 5 out of 9 times we went. Never came to check on us after someone else gave us our food read more

Rude bartender ، ask for silverware as part of my takeout order , and after 20 minutes of waiting , they said they don't have So I have to go to other place for silverware even I bought the food from them read more

Food is surprisingly good for a resort. Service is great and theme match well to Great Wolf Lodge.

My husband, baby and I came here last night and had the pleasure of having Alexis as our server. She was absolutely wonderful. She gave some great insight and suggestions on the menu, was always around when we needed something and made us smile. The food was excellent, the drinks were fantastic and ambiance was cozy. We really enjoyed our meal here! Thanks again Alexis and Fireside!! read more

Food is really great. Waiters are pretty nice, speedy, and understanding. They have a gluten free dedicated fryer so they can make wings and fries gf. Kinda loud if you go early for dinner bc of younger kids but its managable. The loaded nacho apt is really delicous and worth the price. They have an allergy menu that you can request for any allergy to see everything you can have. read more

Amazing staff!! Made my visits personable and enjoyable. They were also accommodating for my kiddos which was a plus!

Dinner was very good. Atmosphere was pleasant. Staff very attentive. Food was delicious.

Big disappointment to say the least. Only thing good to say is the waitstaff are nice. The kitchen needs help desperately. Where to start? With such a limited menus you would expect each entree to be prepared and presented spot on and top notch. Not the case in our experience. Chicken and "Biscuit" was lukewarm if you can even say warm, kids Mac and cheese is offered with a choice of potato, (more carbs???) some steamed broccoli which was cold and a few pieces of melon. French Dip was subpar and is / was way overpriced for what few bites you get. Hopefully management will get things up to par sooner than later otherwise you will see more 1 star reviews in the future. Decor could be more geared toward a outdoor theme. read more

Overpriced and overcooked. 3 salads and a kids meal was $100. Menu is extremely limited, too.

Food is OK. But they Charge 18% tips automatically for the takeout orders. Ridiculous

The first day at the Great Wolf Lodge has been fun for the whole family, except for this atrocity they call Fireside. The staff is exceptionally nice but the food fails to appease even a starving diner like myself in every way possible. The apps were very subpar, the pull apart garlic bread being just lukewarm brioche buns with butter and cheese on them just don't go well together and just clash. The caprese that supposed to go on grilled bread was actually just raw bread that just was a disappointing mouth full of dryness, the brussel sprouts were the savior of our apps with a sweet bite with an interesting bacon crema. Now onto entrees; my girlfriend got just a Caesar salad that had the appearance of a phenomenal dish, but the soggy sandy croutons with wayyyy underdressed leaves would've made this inedible for me. The kids meal was a cool congealed cheese on overdone elbows that had a appalling mashed potato texture. The only acceptable entree was a pulled pork special sandwich but I would say there was far from enough pork in my opinion. This was an epic fail in a gem of a water park, I hope they can turn this around quick, if not, put out the Fireside. read more

I should had read these reviews before ordering -- we waited about 45 minutes for my son's $11 buttered spaghetti which turned out to be 12 noodles and a handful of fries. He counted the noodles! Service is lovely and the rest of our food was good. We will not be returning. read more

This is a nice looking restaurant and pretty standard when staying on resort or ship. The food was delicious, but they were out of the roasted chicken and wine we ordered but were offered fried chicken as a replacement. We selected second choices, that were acceptable, but the wine came at the end of the meal which was not ideal. Overall, this is a great option on resort for dining with your family. read more

I told the waitress that we do not eat pork and she said I understand. She brought out a burger with bacon and I reminded her that I told her we do not eat pork. She took the burger back to the kitchen and I watched the 2 chefs lift the bun, remove the bacon, have the biggest laugh everrrrrrr!!!! 2 seconds later she comes back and pretends that a new burger was cooked !!! Be aware and stay away from this place. Clearly they do not care about cross contamination and they are inconsiderate of people's dietary restrictions. It appears this place is severely understaffed and the waiters do not understand that a person telling them no pork means Noooo pork which means no bacon (which is pork) ughhhhh read more

Food is basic at best and overpriced... service is great... ambiance is blah PS: family breakfast is charged per person no sharing allowed read more

I did not have high Hopes because the reviews were so bad so after our experience I had to leave a review. We are both very picky with food and my husband said the Nashville hot chicken sandwich was one of the best he's ever had and my burger was very very good. The service was good. It was clean and good ambiance. The reviews made this place sound horrible but that was not our experience read more

Food was expensive, took a little long to come out, it is in the lobby so it's a little annoying how if there is an event you can see and hear what is happening and it is always loud when your trying to enjoy a meal read more

Food was less than par, service was slow, sat us after our reservation time. Not impressed by any means... overpriced poolside food

Dinner was not appetizing for the price as well as the menu options are limited. But breakfast is why I gave 3 stars it was good much better then the dinner there was still limited options but we opted for the buffet style family breakfast had I not eaten the breakfast I would give this place a 2 star rating. read more

Food was good, nothing spectacular but a step up from eating pizza during the whole stay.

The food they offer is average but pricey. They have baristas taking the order. We were there to order take out but it was a long wait to order the food and we also waited a long time for the food to be ready. Not only that the order was taken wrong, they charged dine in tip for take out orders, which we didn't know until afterwards. read more

They need more options on the menu. The food was good just not a lot to pick from...The breakfast menu needs more options

It was averagely good. I ordered a Caesar salad , the dressing was incredibly salty. My husband said his sandwich was ok. Portions are very generous. read more

The food was really good and the roasted chicken was super crispy and delicious. My server was super nice and asked if we wanted any refills, our servers name was Alex and she was very friendly and patient. The place was very welcoming but had no bathroom IN the restaurant. There was a bar and many booths. Every thing was delicious and filling. read more

Honestly? For a resort restaurant, Fireside was really great! The staff were attentive and the food was honestly pretty good! I probably could have gotten the same food at a restaurant near me not on vacation, but I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The restaurant was clean and reservations were so easy to book! The staff was even able to accommodate us early! They also have gluten free options, which was very important for a member of our party. Very enjoyable experience, Great Wolf Lodge! read more

Food was a little tasteless for the price. I had a very dry grilled salmon with a side of barely sauté green beans on top of some e descent rice. The table had nachos with what appeared to be cheese wiz and I didn't taste everyone else's dishes but the feeling was that it was kind of tasteless. read more

Food is excellent if a bit pricey but it is a hotel after all and hotel prices do tend to be a little higher. The ambiance is nice and the service is good. read more
