    Stupendous, spectacular, outstanding! This theater and production staff of the Adam's Family are superb! Each cast member was a perfect match with their performances and their performances work. Our entire party ranging from ages 31-63 enjoyed it immensely that we were still talking about it the next day. And the dinner! From the moment we walked into our table to the moment we left we felt special and completely satisfied starting with the welcoming and wonderful staff. Each course was enjoyable but the bread was like no other. Full of flavor in both selections we even had a second basket! The cocktails also like no where else I've ever had in the state of Wisconsin. There's shareable with 2 foot long straws which are super delicious as well as the show's signature drinks such as pistachio. Yum-O! The watercress soup was so creamy good and unlike any I've ever had. The steak Diane was a little too fatty with a few bites not edible but the flavor was good. It was accompanied with sweet fresh carrots and asparagus on point. The chicken Alfredo was so tender and scrumptious with the pasta a little overcooked. Dessert was a turtle sundae with a crushed nut rolled which was delicious and kind of reminded me of fried ice cream. all in all it was spectacular and wonderful experience.

    We had a great experience at the Fireside. Food and drinks were excellent. Show was great. The service was great, they were very accommodating to our special needs. I am so grateful to the fireside and can't wait to go back!

    We had a good time attending the Legends in Concert: Elvis show! Unique show experience more like a concert. Service at Fireside Theatre was great especially with this being only my second time there and a first for the rest of the family. We also had my grandma in a wheelchair which we are all learning how to navigate. We were seated for brunch in a very easy access spot right off the walkway. The food was very good! My mother was uncertain about the flavor for the bread pudding and I told her to try it and well she may have ended up going back for thirds! It was a delicious sweet potato and praline bread pudding so good!! The cheesy hash browns and bacon were also a favorite of our group! We had a lot of help getting into the theater and the handicap row is set up where the wheelchair can just roll in or I the guest can sit in the chair and there is room to park devices. I do have to say it is quite a steep incline to get up there however so they will need someone pushing them and that is also hard! Then you just need to be careful on the incline down as well! Not all the bathrooms are wheelchair friendly for example the women's bathroom right next to the theater all the stalls are standard size which will not fit a wheelchair or likely a walker even. Back by the buffet there is a stand alone "family" bathroom this was the best bathroom with room for the wheelchair and someone to help aid if needed. The women's restroom right in the entrance to the building has a handicap stall however depending on need of assistance/wheelchair the door may not close this I am finding to be a common occurrence - I just stand outside the stall to keep the door shut and use my body to stand in the gap but just something to be aware of. That being said I'd recommend making your way to the restroom in the dining portion if ease of space is needed. We had a wonderful time and I'm looking forward to returning! We unfortunately missed out on the shops but there is always next time.

    Dining and a show at the Fireside.

    We had heard good things about the theater and decided to give it a shot. We ended up with a terrific meal, followed by a fabulous show. Did I mention shopping? We will definitely return for more entertainment and dining in the future. We arrived on a rainy evening. I was able to drop my partner at the door and found parking in the large parking lot. The individuals at the ticket booth were welcoming and did a great job telling us about the evening ahead. We took a brief look in the massive gift shop(s). We then headed to the restaurant. In addition to it being a cool space for dining, you could see the place ran very smoothly. We had a couple of drinks from their show inspired menu, received our salads and were then invited to the buffet. It offered something for everyone. All of the items we tried were prepared well and were very satisfying. Despite my partner not normally liking buffet style food, she said she would certainly go back for the Thursday night buffet. After dinner, we did a little more shopping before going into the theater. It is an intimate space, regardless of your seat choice. We then enjoyed a well acted performance for the next couple of hours. It was executed in a fantastic manner. Are the tickets cheap? No, but very worthwhile.

    A fantastic place that is a joy to have in Wisconsin. This was my first time visiting after hearing a lot about this gem. Their Easter Buffett was good; being the mini-pastries and pineapple smoothie (that the servers welcomed us with), the highlight of the meal. The gift shops are very fun and they do a great job at keeping them stocked in themes. My favorite was the musical section. The musical instrument ornaments were top notch. Of excellent quality. The play was great and the performances outstanding. The theatre is intimate, and even if you sit all the way in the back, you'll feel like you are right there by the stage. A great place for theatre fans!

    The torch has been passed to a new generation of!!!

    On January 26th, 2025, at 1:15 p.m., the skies over the Fireside Dinner Theatre in Fort Atkinson Wisconsin were illuminated with an effervescent light that can be seen for miles. Why? Because inside the cozy fireside theater, Elvis fans were buzzing with excitement, eagerly waiting for the start of the tribute show dedicated to the one and only King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. The Elvis performers, Travis Powell and Taylor Rodriguez, along with their band members and ensemble members blew everyone away with their incredible performance. They rocked the circular stage with such passion that it felt like they owned the place. The thunderous applause, cheers, and laughter echoed through the theater, leaving everyone craving more. And guess what? They got it! They had been given an unforgettable experience! And speaking of unforgettable, proving again that Elvis only surrounds himself with the best annd the brightest Ensemble member Kieu T. Grisby proved flexibility is key to perform on stage. He transformed his right leg into a makeshift guitar and played air guitar alongside the band and Elvis as they jammed. Amidst all the cheering, he hopped around the stage on one leg, an amazing feat (or would that be foot) that left the audience spellbound. (You have to see it to believe it!) This concert wasn't just a special event for everyone in the audience. It was also a momentous occasion for a young man who had been a die-hard Elvis fan at the fireside for seven years. Back in 2017, during his first visit as an early teenager, he got a scarf from Elvis, and that left such an impression on him as Elvis is his hero. He had been hoping maybe this would be another lucky year. (Scarves stopped being given out because of COVID) His front-row seat and Elvis-inspired outfit caught the performers' attention, and he was lucky enough to be given a scarf by Elvis and it was captured by the kindness of a staff member! After the show, we got to meet the entertainers, and they were so nice and took photos with him. The Fireside theater proved once again why it's such a great place to go for a family night out. They have amazing food and entertainment, and it's always a fun time and great memories for everyone

    Fireside is a very unique place. There's a huge parking lot. Then when you enter there are a few gift shops in the main hallway, a theater, a small bakery, and a huge restaurant. We went on a Friday for dinner and had to get a reservation. It's a busy spot on Friday nights because of their fish fry. The restaurant is very big with a lower bar area, different levels and rooms, a large fireplace, and small ponds/water throughout the space. A very unique spot! We started the meal with sweet old fashioneds. So good! They include a cinnamon stick that gives it a nice kick. Then they served complimentary bread. I'm not a fan of rye bread but the cheese bread was delicious. For my meal, I enjoyed their beer battered cod fish fry. The 4 piece was plenty of food. They were crispy and perfectly cooked. I had fries on the side that were crispy and pretty good. I think they have the best fish fry and old fashioned in the area. Our waitress was very nice. They were busy but did a good job. We loved the bread so on our way out I stopped at the bakery to grab a loaf. It wasn't as good as the bread on our table so I would skip it next time, but I love the idea of having this bakery option on the way out. Overall, it's a fun place to go for dinner, I would recommend checking it out especially for their fish fry.

    Unique stage. Round part goes up and down and flush with floor to create a full stage

    I have been going to shows at the dinner theater since I was a young kid. The shows are marvelous and affordable. The intimate stage that is surrounded by people from all angles present a fun and unique atmosphere for plays and musicals. I love to see how they curate each set. And the food is pretty darn good. I especially love attending the brunch option and trying the featured cocktail menu for each show. Everyone is welcoming and provides great customer service. If you've never been, you must add this to your list. It's a wonderful local gem that attracts talent from across the county.

    Once again had a fantastic time at the Fireside. We saw west side story! Show was amazing and the brunch buffet was phenomenal. This has became a birthday tradition and we will definitely be back.

The listening room is cozy but the setup is nice and the acoustics are good. Drove up from IL because of the concert. The place is lovely, with a cool, quirky vibe. Got there early for eats. It was a Monday - they were open only because of the concert that evening, therefore the menu was very limited. The only reason I chose to eat there at all was because they referenced in their ticket confirmation email that food and drink was their bread and butter, so I wanted to oblige them on that score. The pasta was so so. I went as a single female. I'm pretty sure I was the only solo flier there. This is, to a large extent, a place where everybody knows everybody. I felt out of place. I've been to a number of concerts etc. on my own in the past and typically meet people that will chat and engage you. Not here. That was disappointing. The strangers I met at McDonald's and the gas station during the drive up and back were friendlier. Would not go there alone again. There is a screened porch that looks out over the river - this is where you are seated to eat. You can wander out there during intermission. The river. The river was very welcoming indeed.

    First to review? How is that possible?…read more While I had some time on my own in Wisconsin, I decided to check out the Hoard Historical Museum (and National Dairy Shrine Museum). And even though I stopped by more than a few breweries in the four days I was there this stop was by far one of my favorites. First, the National Dairy Shrine Museum. I have a whole new respect for the dairy farmers after realizing how much I take for granted. For example, I never gave much thought to the fact that there are different breeds of cows. Or how much time, energy, money and science goes into their breeding. The National Dairy Shrine Museum displays not only these majestic creatures but the trophies and prizes that can be won through the dedication to the progression of the dairy farm. Upstairs there is a room of dioramas showing the history of the dairy farm and a detailed timeline along the walls. Downstairs there is a hall of fame where I learned about some of the pioneers in the field, pictures of champion cows and early equipment used in dairy farming. The Hoard Historical Museum features some great local history. There is the Lincoln room where I learned a bit about the Black Hawk War and how the Civil War affected Wisconsin. I was fascinated by the exhibit about the mounds left by early Native Americans and the efforts to preserve them. Part of the Hoard House is open as well. Very little is off limits here. You can sit in the parlor or the library and learn about the Hoard family (leaders in the field of dairy farming). Upstairs and through the kitchen I came upon a room full of taxidermy birds. Another room displayed dolls and figurines. One special room was dedicated to local poet Lorine Niedecker. Don't let this place fool you, there's more here than you might expect. I spent over two hours here and still felt rushed. The friendly and hands-on experience is always fun making this a good place for families and kids. I was greeted by Sandy and made a point of telling her how much I enjoyed the place. She was happy to hear it. I noticed several signs hanging up around the entrance for special gatherings and events held here. I also liked that many of the exhibits led to interest in other local historic places and parks. The Hoard Historical Museum seems to have a mutually beneficial relationship with the local community. Did I mention this place is free? Donations are of course accepted.

    Great little museum in a great little town. They have a civil war era wing, part of the original…read moreHoard house, a dairy section, art work, a section devoted to indigenous people of the area and the mounds nearby, some wildlife stuff, just a really cool museum full of friendly people.

There were the remnants of cheese, crackers and sausage out for the football game. Looked like a good time was had! There is a pool table, a couple video games, and a few slot machines.

I'm from California, and a steak dinner is easily $60. All the steak dinners were on special for $2 off the already ridiculously low prices. I ordered a porterhouse medium rare with garlic mash. It included a side salad. I also ordered a vodka lemonade. The service was good -- the bartender played waiter and he was attentive. The garlic mash was really good -- it came with butter instead of gravy, but maybe that's the way they eat it in Wisconsin. The salad was lettuce and cheese, and I good thousand island dressing. I would have liked some carrot, a little cucumber and croutons. But again, maybe that's how salad is in Wisconsin bars. Finally, my steak came medium and not medium rare. I didn't protest because it was tasty, and for $14 a bargain at and cook. The vodka lemonade was a giant glass for just $5. I gave 4 stars because it was a bar -- the food was good for a bar.
