Waited 20 minutes before the waiter came over and asked for the order. By that time, I had already picked out what i wanted to eat. I tried ordering the food and the waiter stopped me and told me I MUST order a drink first. Although nothing rude was spoken, the waitress had a horrible attitude and made me and my family feel very uncomfortable. Appetizers took abnormally long to come to the table. When the food arrived one item was completely wrong. The rest of the food came as ordered but was nothing to write home about. (Average tasting and quality). I would have loved to give this place a second chance but the initial bad experience will most likely prevent me from returning. read more

house sauce on the wings is amazing! sweer chili sauce with a little kick. great selection on tap and tons of red & white wine options - huge projector screen for all the big games and a fantastic location! safe and excellent read more

We had a very nice experience here. The venue is clean and fresh. All of the food was amazing. We had wings for the appetizer. Very good. This is your place if you like brick oven pizza. We got the TKO and loved every bite. Our overall experience was very nice. read more

We are local and drive by the Fireside almost daily. Finally decided to stop and try it out. We brought friends from out of the area and we were looking forward to a nice lunch out. We are all in our upper sixties and low seventies and wore our masks. Outdoor dining was a little too crowded so we opted for the spacious dining are inside. We were able to find a table socially distanced from others and had a seat. Our server acted like she had far better things to do than assist us in ordering. Brisk and abrupt attitude and long waits in between drink orders and lunch orders. It was NOT busy inside by any stretch. Most, if not all, servers and cooks were not wearing their masks properly and noses were prominent all over the place. We have minor health issues and need to be reasonably sure we can be safe when we dine out. In addition, one of us has an elderly father in poor health who needs to be protected from any chance of covid infection and the thought of accidental contraction of the virus from the staff was uncomfortable. We stayed just long enough to finish most of our meal and left. There is no excuse for non adherence to the safest protocols available and mandatory in PA. In looking back, we should have left immediately but wanted to support our local businesses. It will a long time before I return, if ever. Knowing the cook staff was not wearing masks properly will color my thoughts about even using take out service. Too bad. We'd really like them to succeed. You guys can do so much better. Come on! read more

Stopped in here for the first time. I really enjoyed the place. I had french onion soup and a meat lovers flat bread pizza. I thought both were excellent. Beer was cold service was great. I highly recommend this place. read more

Place was horrible, wings were so small and not crispy Pizza was absolutely the worst brick oven pizza i ate , bottom was not crispy which means stone no hot enough ... maybe train the staff better and tell the pizza guy to focus on pizza not his phone read more

Only place open on a Monday in early October. Staff was friendly. We got pizza to go. 6.2 on the plain. 6.8 pepperoni and 7 on the broccoli white. Basic pizza, will be trying the rest of the menu soon. read more

Big disappointment. Service sooo slow. Took over an hour to get a pizza when the place was only the fourth the way full. Pizza soggy and sauce was bitter. It was Friday night and not very busy, yet other restaurants in the area packed. That says it all! Too bad because the place inside is very cool and trendy. read more

One Bite Pizza Rule: 4.2 stars out of 10. Wait for take out: negative stars (It should not take 35 minutes for pizza and fried food.) The place was half empty and there were maybe 5 tickets on the wood oven station. Anyway, it is brand new, and they set this place up poorly. The entire set up is ridiculously bad planning. I would flip the bar and the wood gloves pizza so you could prepare drinks for people waiting to sit and you have better access to the outdoor space people to order drinks or wait staff. I get the open wood oven but it should be connect to your closed kitchen. It is poorly designed and the food is barely mediocre. The pizza is overly chewy and doughy. The sauce should be a bit more sweeter and the cheese seems cheap. The mozzarella sticks were good but the sauce was bad. The wings are under cooked and should be tossed in sauce unless they were breaded. This is standard Buffalo wings. The drinks to go should have tops. I haven't even got to the serve we will just say they can improve. They seem like they had good intentions because the options on the lake are terrible, but you added to the poor options. My suggestion - close down reorganize the floor plan. Have your head chef go and research better ingredients for food that are fresh and organic. Stop buying from distributors, you can drive 15-30 minutes and find great local farm products that are fresh and clean. 2 stars because it was clean. read more

Place looks really nice and seems interesting, However, it took well over an hour to get food. The hamburger had no bun, wasn't cooked as requested and on top of fries. The fries were soggy and gross from the burger. One flatbread pizza was burnt. read more

Rude service, ridiculous wait time and undercooked food. We were told 30 minutes to pick up our order, waited for 45+. None of the staff was wearing their masks correctly. The pizza crust was raw and the wings were mushy. It seems to me like they opened before they were ready to do so. read more

We had reservations at The Dock on Wallenpaupack but it was such a bad experience that we left and were scrambling to find somewhere to eat as there were 8 of us with two babies. We tried Ringside, we were able to walk right in and get a table without a wait. The staff was so friendly, everyone loved their food - their pizza is amazing. We happened to show up for music trivia and came in second place! I highly recommend if you are in the area read more

We were here for the week and came for our ritual Friday pizza night. First time and it was great! We had the white garlic pizza, wings, and drinks. Great atmosphere and great service. read more

We visited last weekend (early March 2021) On the positive side - nice, casual atmosphere with large TV screens around the room. Decent selection on the menu. They had live music the evening we went which was nice. Bar offers beer, mixed drinks and wine. I would be giving a 4 star review but..... On the negative - almost ZERO compliance with COVID safety. There were 4 or 5 staff waiting tables, 2 or 3 visible cooks working the pizza station (which is visible in the dining area/not behind doors) and 1 bartender. IF a staff member was even wearing a mask it was either hanging from 1 ear or pulled down around their neck. Making drinks, carrying customers food to their table, making peoples food....not wearing any protective face covering! We were uncomfortable to say the least. (If we hadn't been with a few other people we would've walked out) To make matters worse, when we requested our waitress pull her mask up when she came to our table, she partly did (covering her mouth only, not her nose) and proceeded to treat us with attitude and largely ignored us for the rest of the time we were there. I will say that the host, who also waited tables, was the only one who made any effort in wearing the mask properly. The place is cool & I would definitely go there for food, drinks, music & sports but that won't be until the need for COVID safety is long over. Shame on them for not demonstrating more care for their customers. read more

Pizza and wings are great! The restaurant is beautiful inside super casual. We love the keystone pizza. Happy eatings!

made a reservation. we are local and had family visiting from out of town. our waitress was rude. rolled her eyes when i asked if the wine was a pennsylvania wine and continued with that ridiculous behavior any time she came to our table which wasn't frequent. wings were not even warm. pizza was delicious but was not warm. my husband wanted to keep the beer list at the table and she said they only had three and took it. never brought it back--i ordered a ceasar salad for 8.00. it came out with romaine, tomatoes, horrible croutons, a ton of cheap parmesan cheese and some generic dsg. it probably would have been all good had our waitress acted a bit nicer. she didn't even know what kind of vodka they had. that's not my job-- it's hers. another eye roll and stomp because she was going to have to find that out. read more

The buffalo chicken flatbread was delicious with lots of chicken on top. Highly recommend!

Went here last Thursday for dinner, we got the TKO pizza. It was great! Our server, Emily, was fantastic!

Ugh I really wanted to like this place and I was so excited when I saw the ambiance inside.....but we waited 20 minutes to be tended to and our waitress was so rude.... It made me and my family super uncomfortable and we won't be coming back which is unfortunate since we own a house up here and really wanted to find a good pizza place. read more

Omg. This place is amazing. The food was Great! Service was perfect. Cannot wait to come back!!!!!! read more

Very good service. Only had the pizza which was not very good considering they have wood fire ovens.May go back and try the other options.

First time we stopped in - a recommendation of a local friend. We ordered Cheese pizza, wings, and mozzarella sticks by call in. They told us 20 min, and I showed up on time. The order was ready. Staff was upbeat and casual. Pleasant. The interior is beautifully done, a mix of contemporary and rustic. Unfortunately these guys have been dealt with a global pandemic for their grand opening. I brought the food back to our house. Upon opening, the pizza looked different and my son, super picky eater, turned his nose up. I told him to try it, just a bite. Well - he devoured the ENTIRE pizza, so I had to order a second pizza. The wings- not traditional. However their spin on buffalo wings is WAY better. My husband and I polished those off quickly. They are fried and then fire roasted creating a crispy wing with the buffalo sauce concoction on the side. The sauce was AMAZING. Prices are reasonable as well. I would encourage anyone to give them a try and support a local business! read more

Hit and missed. More a missed because they like to give you food that sat half the day. Paid $17 for a pizza that was not freshly made%

Walked in and none of the staff were wearing a mask properly, or at all- so we walked right back out. Unless you'd like a side of Covid with your meal, I'd pass. read more

Best wings ever! Nice atmosphere, there was also a 2 piece band playing and they were excellent. We had chicken kabob dinner that was excellent with many sides, huge plate for $15. Pizza was very good. Burger was good. One recommendation, they have a beer menu and the waitress was not at all familiar with it. There was no description on the menu of the different beers. All in all we really liked it and we will definitely be back! read more

Had both white and red wood fire pizza and it was delicious! topped it with roasted red pepper and garlic. Also, the wings were very good and they have a lot of sauces to pick from. Next time I'm trying a dry rub! Thanks and can't wait to go back and experience a game on their big TVs when PA reopens. read more

I went there for dinner on a Sunday night with some Brooklyn friends of mine that have a house in Masthope. I have to tell you, Ringside Fire Grill has all the trappings of a great restaurant. Large open space, rustic atmosphere, very clean, two wood fired pizza ovens, only problem, the pizza was terrible. Our server was wonderful, I remembered her from another local place that I used to visit. But the Pizza was terrible. I have had some of the best Pizza in the world, growing up in Brooklyn and visiting Napes Italy that has some of the best pizza I ever tasted. I've also tried non traditional pizza from different regions that wasn't what I was used to, but on occasion, still tasted good. I didn't watch them make the pie, but if I had to guess, the pizza itself was not made from fresh dough. It tasted more like a pre-made pizza shell you would by from Costco or Restaurant Supply. No rise on the crust and it tasted like cardboard. But it didn't end there. We ordered a Margarita. What could be better coming out of a wood fired pizza oven than a classic Margarita. Only problem there was nothing classic about it. The sauce was terrible. My friends and I agreed, this had to be a ready made pizza sauce right out of the can, there wasn't a fresh herb or plumb tomatoes within miles of that sauce. After a major disappointment in the sauce and crust, nothing else mattered. You have heard the old saying that pizza is like sex, even a bad pie is worth eating. Except for this one. I'm sure the owners have a major investment in this establishment, and it's just a shame they did not invest in a real Pizziola to make their dough and pies. In addition to the pizza we all had salad which was large and fresh. Well done. But man does not live on salad alone. I would go back to try some of their other entrees, except for their Pizza Burger which probably has that same terrible sauce on it. Unless they change their recipe I will never go back for their pizza. Sorry guys, you can do much better. read more

Great pizza and likely best gluten free pizza have ever ordered. Would have given it a 5 if not for having to wait a half hour more for take out than they told us read more

Found Ringside as we were riding, had pizza and wings. Food was good, sat out on the deck, very nice !

Great drinks, food & service. Nice selection of ciders unlike most places. Delicious wings, pizza & flatbreads. Well remember them for our next trip. read more

If I could give this establishment fewer stars I would! They only serve pizza. Seems easy enough, right? Well, our party waited 2 hours to get our food. After asking where our food was multiple times and being lied to by everyone we asked, they finally brought our pizzas out. That took an hour and 45 minutes. We had young children with us and their food still hadn't come (it was 8:35 pm) so we continued to ask where their food was as we didn't feel right eating our food when theirs didn't come out yet. After asking so many times, THE WAIT STAFF THREATENED ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN IN OUR PARTY THAT HE WAS GOING TO KICK HIS BUTT. HE PUSH HIM OUTSIDE WITH TWO OTHER MEN TO FIGHT ON THE FRONT PORCH! We separated them and left before the altercation took place. NEVER in my life have I felt so disturbed by the way we were treated there. We will never be returning and we will NEVER recommend this place to others. Ring side, get your crap together!! You will never survive the service industry with this kind of service! read more

Stopped in on a whim. Place was empty at 1pm. I had burger and fries, wife had fish sandwich and fries. Bun was nice. Burger was underdone. Fries were ok. Fish was very greasy. Beer was cold. Maybe we'll try again after they've been open a while longer. read more

The best pizza I ever had! Great service and great food! Will definitely come back to enjoy the atmosphere, beautifully renovated place that has history as well. read more
