On a trip to pick up my daughter from Binghamton University for the holidays, I had a craving for…read moreBBQ. Fortunately, Food & Fire BBQ was across the street, so we decided to drop in. Ambience - pit BBQ vibes with concrete floors and spacious industrial warehouse feel. Servers and hostess were super friendly. Food - Cornbread - we received some complimentary cornbread, which were cut into small squares. Served cold. 3/5 Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - the promise of smoked Gouda had my hopes up, but the flavor was lacking 3/5 St Louis Ribs - I asked for ribs with Memphis style dry rub. The flavor was fantastic, but could have been a little more tender. Still, a really good rib. 4/5 Brisket - I was offered Lean, Regular or Fatty. I asked for fatty and received two slices which were half fat. Makes me wonder what I would have gotten if I ordered "Fatty". Regardless,the brisket was a little underseasoned. Fried Clam Strips - the order came out overcooked and burned. The server was nice enough to get a new one for me. 4/5

This past time, I got Lacy's chicken. It was SO good! And big enough that I was able to have it for lunch the next day as leftovers. I also ordered Dangerous Waters Island Punch. I got it as a double. It was very tasty. Always pleasant waitstaff. It's not the cheapest night out. But always a fun one! They also have special events. Trivia nights, line dancing, etc. I haven't been to one yet, but it's on my to do list.

Our server, Sabrina, was absolutely fantastic so this is not a reflection of her AT ALL - but the…read moremanagement at this location needs to get a handle on the kitchen. My son's chicken pasta came out with no chicken on it at all. I ordered a side of the chili green beans and got microwaved frozen green beans with some butter and seasoning on them. When I brought it up to Sabrina she was wonderful and went to talk to the kitchen about it. She said they didn't have the peanuts (is the manager not ordering them?) but that she'd have them remake it with the chili oil and soy sauce. They did put the chili oil on it, but definitely not a drop of soy sauce. My flatbread pizza was good though, and of course the games were a good time so it wasn't a complete fail. Kudos to Sabrina for making it a better experience than it would have been.

It was wing night so naturally I ordered wings. The wings don't seem to be breaded so that's good for me. Some people like breaded they have boneless. The menu was affordably priced and the staff were busy but extremely helpful. and super friendly too . It's busy so, if you're planning on calling to try and do a pick up order or make a reservation ? You might be better off just showing up and getting the vibe . They still have Sam Adams cold snap on draft and that's a seasonal beer that's hard to find right now, so I was happy to find it. Heads up, go get it while it's there because they'll be changing out the seasonal brew soon.

Fried cheese curds and fried pickles...if that's all we ordered we were already hooked! Then our wings came!!! Pry the sauces out of my hands, I had it on my face, up my arms, the wings were exactly what you beg for anywhere else!! The sweetest and most beautiful bartender was an absolute angel getting our drinks and food! Extremely conscientious and attentive during busy moments!
