I've been going to the Ringside Fire Grill every time I'm up at the lake--it was always a go-to spot for great food, good vibes, and especially that amazing pizza. But after my visit this past Friday, I'm seriously rethinking that. Yes, the place was busy and the service was solid, no complaints there. But the pizza? What happened?? It used to be thick, hearty, flavorful--something you looked forward to. Now it's paper thin, like a shadow of what it used to be. You could practically see through it. It felt like a completely different product--and not in a good way. Clearly, someone made a change in the kitchen or behind the scenes, and whoever made that call really read more

Ringside Fire Grill - Pizza Near Me - Tafton, Pennsylvania

My dock friends and I loved this place when it first opened, thought they had the best pizza and service but I have never seen a place go so far down hill so fast. Last few visits kept getting worse. They changed the recipe for the pizza and service has gotten terrible. 90 minutes to get a pizza while sitting at the bar, pulled pork was lousy and like $30 We never see the same staff. , turnover must be horrendous and that usually means poor management. I guess that's their interpretation of Fire Grill. Very sad, losing regular customers read more

This place is nice. The pizza is good. The mixed drinks are ok. A lil pricey but it's probably in line with the surrounding places. Will return in the future. read more

The pizza is decent.... the calamari, however, was like trying to eat battered, deep fried rubber bands... absolutely horrible. I suggest you avoid the calamari at all cost! read more

Why in gods name would you change the menu?? I loved coming here for the pizza, especially the garlic pie, then you go and swap everything. And the new stuff isn't that great. Hate to say it but we will be looking for a new spot. read more

Love the wood burning pizza- gelato was lovely- the pizza is unique and delish highly recommend the pumpkin honey and my son and brother loved the "meat flight pie". Lots of good stuff to try on the menu. Enjoyed making a wine flight- even brought home a bottle. Good coffee. Atmosphere is cute- got to watch some of the Olympics while there. Wish there was something for the kids to do but it wasn't an issue. Service is on the slower side but that's the norm in PA. If you're going out to eat around here be ready to relax and enjoy. read more

As all the other Yelpers have reported the service was slow. Upon entering, the nice woman let us know the service was slow they evening and asked if we were ok with that. I have to be honest, I was not in a rush so it was kind of nice to sit at the table and relax. There are tv's located on the walls and the inside looks great. Everything we ate tasted great and obviously came out piping hot. My only true complaint was that even though service was slow, all the dishes came out at different times. Some people were almost done by the time others meals came out. If you are not in a rush, I think it is worth stopping in. They have a bar. read more

Figured I'd try it after few years!!!!! Ordered buffalo wings, they were good. Ordered a meatlovers pizza !!!! Was way to thin and no sauce or very little!!!! Was like eating cardboard. And paid about $14 for a small thin pie and not even little bit tasty. Was my mistake to try again . Could only eat few slices then rest garbage read more

Been coming here for years. Always enjoyable. Was there last Friday. Today we're ordered 2 pizzas to go. Got home and they were paper thin!!! What the heck happened in 1 week. Not like the pizza is cheaply priced!! read more

Ringside Fire Grill - Pizza Near Me - Tafton, Pennsylvania

Unfortunately, they make good food, but the last several attempts to order they don't have many items on their menu which had me choose another place more than once!! No meat lovers no Brooklin!! Come on its not a specialty!! Its simple ingredient!! If you're running a business have what's on your menu available. I'm local and unfortunately will use other choices.... So concider another choice so you dont have to spend time on the phone hearing we dont have that !!!!!! read more

Super nice. Friendly. Smell of the wood fired oven worth the price of admission. Which is zero, but you know what I mean. Lake Wallenpaupack was a great spot, btw. All good stuff. Don't skip the flatbread. We were there weekday lunch and it was nice but quiet. Got there too late last night and missed a more happening time. Missed live music because of that. read more

Ringside Fire Grill - Wood Fired Deliciousness - Pizza Near Me - Tafton, Pennsylvania

The pizza was so delicious. And we really appreciated that they accommodated us by making a special order pizza. Our server was nice too.

Very accommodating for our large group today. Service was friendly and quick. Very family friendly- bring the kids! Pizza was good and the wings were delicious. Get some tasty cookies to go if made that day. Mixed of dark and milk chocolate- changed my life. read more

Tried this a few nights ago, and we had a great experience. The "small" salad was huge! We split that and tried out a white pizza. The white pizza was delicious. Very good flavor and we both loved the crust. Our server was very attentive, and the ambience is nice. We are looking forward to coming back to try out the back patio this summer. Great choice for casual dining at Lake Wallenpaupack. read more

From this spoiled pizza person from North Jersey who has access to best pizza in USA loved the pizza there - wood fired!!! Only complaint almost waited 45 mins to one hour to get our food. Slow service but. Ext time we will expect the wait and not ravenous when we sit down! read more

Quick take out. We love the thin crust and fire grill. The chicken Parm and white pizza were delicious.

What a delight - this place was big, clean, and trendy. The vibes were all good in here. Music playing and projectors all over. A giant bar (which was full) and a ton of other seating. There was a whole wall of wine to choose from. They also had a pretty good beer selection - lots of choices from the brewing company in town. The menu was awesome with lots of choices if you werent in the mood for pizza. We were though and got the meatlovers. It was REALLY good. @ $19.00 it was a lil pricey for pizza, but being a meat lovers wood fired I think it was worth it - especially being that it tasted so good!!! If I had to nit pic, Id say the sauce was a tad on the sweet side. That would really be splitting hairs though... All in all the visit was great. Great food, great staff, and a great overall vibe. Next time I'm in the area I am definitely going to make sure I stop in. read more

This place has been our go to since they opened. Slowly they have been limiting their menu. My wife really enjoyed the wings, chicken fingers etc as she's not big on Pizza. We just found out they discontinued all of their appetizers, nothing from the deep fryer! When the place opened they had a great menu, burgers sandwiches great appetizers etc, now it's strictly pizza and flat breads. I'm not sure if they are intentionally trying to ruin their business, that's their business but for us, who have gone there 2-4 nights a week, we sadly will not be going back. read more

Based on the lowish rating we were hesitant to try, but we are so glad we did! We went in yesterday for lunch with my parents and two young children (almost 4 and almost 2 years old). They had high chairs as well as crayons and coloring books for the kids which is good to know! We ordered the kids food soon after sitting (French fries and bacon chicken ranch flatbread), with the fries coming out about 5 minutes later and the flatbread coming out soon after. Adults ordered a TKO and Meat Lover's, both were really fantastic! In sum, we had a great lunch with absolutely no complaints and only praise. It appears management had listened to and addressed prior complaints of slow service. Looking forward to adding Ringside into our rotation of great places up here! read more

We tried this for the first time on Friday. We sat outside on the back patio. Didnt even know they had one.. it was clean and sunny. They also have a covered side deck and of course an inside restaurant that is very large for you to choose from. My husband had a burger and the house chips. He enjoyed it. We ordered a pizza too. That was amazing!!! A $12.00 pie and $6 for 3 toppings. Worth every penny. On the menu we got the toppings price was not listed. So be careful they do add up. read more

I don't understand when this restaurant has overall star rating of less than 4. I absolutely love the flatbreads and pizzas here. I work at the medical office down the road and enjoy treating myself once a week to a flatbread at lunch. Service is stellar, 7minutes, for a delicious chicken flatbread. I highly recommend coming here for a pizza! Thanks for the continued amazing service everyone at Ringside! read more

Went there last week, the food is still good, and the service was excellent . But the prices went to high.$7.00 for a draft beer was kind of high,also the pizza got smaller, and they charged 75 cents for each dipping sauce for the wings. read more

We stopped here one evening after being turned a way from other local eateries due to the long waits. Not knowing what to expect we were surprised when we walked in. The atmosphere is very open and rustic yet modern. It had a very interesting vibe. We ordered the wood fired wings, a cheese pizza and the kid's chicken tenders meal. The wood fired wings themselves were excellent. They serve a creamy hot sauce/buffalo type sauce on the side. That was weird but we got over it. The pizza was average and was seriously lacking flavor. Not at all what we expected. The chicken tenders were very good but the French Fries were terrible. They tasted as if they were sitting in a bowl under a heat lamp for 8 hours. The service was slow and disorganized. It actually was pretty bad. There are so many employees walking around who look utterly confused. I'm not sure what to make of this place. It has potential but probably will fail unless they get it together and fix some major issues. read more

Enjoyed the wood-fired pizza - nice, comfortable setting - good beer selection - friendly service

Bring back the fried appetizers.....let me pick what I want to eat. Great place just the change in menu will keep us away read more

Used to be great. Ordered a Meat Pizza and two Gyro flatbreads. Ice cold, pretty much no meat on anything. Yet another restaurant in this area that thinks they can get away with poor food because it's a resort area. These places never survive in the long term. read more

Very pleasantly surprised, I was expecting a pizza and wings pub and it is so much more. It is very casual but done very nicely and they will soon be opening up and make your own wine and a wine bar here so this is a great gym in the Tafton Pa area! read more

Stopped in on Friday 5-7-21 hoping to get something to eat but didn't have any luck. We showed up around 7 o'clock so it was not necessarily dinner time and the place was fairly busy, not full of busy. They were clearly about five or six empty tables and the guy told us it would be about 15 minutes, I don't understand that. But, we waited so we could try out somewhere new. I will say that the food looked good, how do I know this? Because there were three or four burgers sitting waiting to be brought out to customers but they were never served while we were waiting for a table, which was at least 15 minutes. The place is run by a bunch of amateurs. I'm not sure which one is the owner/boss but I assume it was the short guy that was running the register who told us we had to wait 15 minutes. It is clear that the owners have no experience in running a restaurant. Completely disorganized people running all over the place but accomplishing nothing. As I said, food was sitting there for at least 15 minutes while we were waiting for a table and never served. One waitress just stayed by some people at the bar who I assume were regulars. Another waitress only concentrated on one large table never helping anyone else. One guy was running around cleaning tables but not seating anybody nor was he taking orders. This place is a complete mess and will never survive until they get someone in there that actually knows how to run a restaurant. It's a cute place, it's a good size place, the food looks good, but under this management it will never survive. Last comment, these people do not wear masks! The servers, the manager/owner, the cooks who you can see because it's an open kitchen so they are visible to everyone and the customers. There is no enforcement of any safety whatsoever and even the ignorant customers walk around refusing to take any precautions. There is not a prayer I will ever go back and try this place we waited so long we just walked out. We drove all the way to the other side of the lake and went to Drafts which has excellent food, excellent staff and just a pleasure to walk into. Do not waste your time going to this place. read more

Was impressed with the size of the salad I ordered. Thin crust is not my favorite style of pizza, but I do like the flavor from a wood burning oven. read more

Normally I would have given Ringside a 5 star review. I visit there regularly in the summers. I was very disappointed when I went in this week. My favorite thing on the menu (the wings) is no longer being offered. Their house sauce and buffalo sauce are both so delicious I would always get 1 order of each for an appetizer for my family before the pizza. They also go rid of all the hot appetizers... including mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers. While the thin crust speciality pizzas are very good, in my opinion just pizzas and salads on the menu is not enough of a selection and make the menu kind of boring. Especially because it has a fancy sports bar feel I think the wings really fit the theme. please bring the wings and hot appetizers back! read more

Finally had a chance to try this place last weekend. We were so pleasantly surprised by how delicious this place was. We had a large party of 11 people and ordered many items to try. Pizza was excellent but the wings, oh man those wings were probably one of the best we ever had. The house special ones were a little sweet and spicy and we couldn't stop. Kept ordering more. Can't wait to go back. Also I have to give this place credit. We were surprised to see that one of their workers was a Ukrainian refugee who just recently arrived, fleeing from the horrible war. To the owners of Ringside- kuddos to you for helping such a wonderful woman and giving her the opportunity to work here. We were so glad to have met her. read more

This place deserves a higher score than it has. I visited here 1/15/22 and had a great experience. They had live music and wildcard football on a projector. Good selection of beer and pizza. Friendly and attentive service. Ordered a flatbread and an app, got my food lightning fast. My only wish is that it was open a little bit later than 9:00. Give them a try, I recommend it! read more

We have eaten here twice. Love the brick oven pizza, sandwiches and soup! We had the gyro pizza today and it was phenomenal! Got 3 bottles of local organic wine to go too! Wonderful service, warm and delicious. read more

I'll start with the good: pizza was amazing and our server was super nice. Now the not so good: I'm not sure how long ago they changed their menu but to not serve fries as an appetizer and can only get them if you order chicken fingers (since fries come as a side to them) was slightly disappointing. Also, the older lady at the register who seemed to be the owner was staring us down our entire meal and just overall was not too pleasant when checking us out. It's a cool place though definitely has a lot of potential. read more

Wood fired brick oven pizza.... delicious, Wings were fantastic. They just opened on Memorial Day 2020. Magnificent looking inside, bar is amazing. Setting up an outdoor area for seating. Waiting to come back. Jill and Don. read more

food and drink was great. Nice clean wood fired stove. Pizza was great, nice sauce and good Italian sausage. Our waitress was wonderful and service was really quick. We will certainly be back - Thank you! read more

The Margarita pizza was disappointing. The mozzarella cheese covered well less than half of the pie and the chopped basil leaves were similarly sparse so that most of the pie was dough and red sauce. And on to of that, very pricey at $18 for a 14 inch pie (they no longer sell the 16 inch pie). I will go back to the other place up the road next time. read more

Tried going tonight at 8:18 and they turned us away. Said they are serving anymore customers. They close at 9:00!

My brother-in-law and I stopped in on a lark and we're glad we did. Pizza was fantastic and the Yeungling Lager(s) just hit right. Please stop in - staff were polite and inviting. read more

I had the hamburger which was good but not worth $15.00. The place was nice inside especially with the many TVs and the music outside. The restroom was clean but this restaurant is on the expensive side for the Tafton area. So we will not be back soon, until the economy improves or they lower their prices. read more
