    Not-So-Classic BLT
    Julia P.

    Reviewing solely for the not-so-classic BLT. Imagine my surprise when I searched for this outstanding BLT in the reviews, only to find that no one has ever mentioned it! I was at the fire place once and it was getting late. To my delight, the kitchen was open late and the BLT caught my attention. The lettuce, tomato, and aioli are chopped and mixed before being put on the bread, which is starved warm. Easily the best BLT I've ever had. In fact, I knew someone who was there one might and offered them $1000 to bring me the BLT. They delivered

    Walked in to a great atmosphere and smells of brick oven style pizza. I was welcomed in and sat at the booth, the place had a great ambiance for a nice date or time with family. I tried the hot honey pizza which was amazing and the traditional cheese which you can't go wrong with. The holiday drinks were amazing my favorite was the tipsy elf. Our waitress was very attentive and the food came out quick! Most definitely recommended spot to eat in Southington

    Fireplace wings. Great balance

    Consistently good place. CT is tough for pizza but they hold their own. Wood fired, good crust (I like to order it crispy). We always end up ordering more than we need because we can't decide on what to get. It is fun to sit street side when the weather is good. The fireplace wings are always a must. To be honest, I always plan on trying the others but end up with the original. Good beer menu, order take out and wait at the bar. If you have a large group, call ahead and ask for the window table.

    Love coming to The Fire Place when it gets warm outside. This place is in the center of Southington and when I am craving some speciality pizza this is where I go. There is indoor and outdoor seating. On the weekdays seating is pretty quick. The indoor seating is a bit dim and kind of tight but it is comfortable. The waitresses are always friendly and attentive. With so many choices of different pizza the waitresses are knowledgeable on what you may like. My favorite is the barbecue chicken pizza and my second favorite is the hamburger pizza. If you get a large you can get half one flavor and the other half another. The wings are pretty good and made fresh. I like the fact this place is next to a walking trail, and you can take a walk before or after eating pizza. Great place for a quick outing with friends.

    The Fire Place is known for their wood-fired pizza, and wings baked in their pizza oven not fried. Half of the restaurant is the bar area, the other half is the dining area, consisting of wood tables with brick walls. A nice rustic atmosphere. When the pizza is served it is placed on a sauce can. We ordered the Smoke House wings that are honey barbecue flavored with sprinkled Parmesan cheese, and a side of ranch dressing. The only size is the 12 pc. After eating a couple of wings we realize they made them with honey mustard instead of honey barbecue. We eat them without complaining. They were nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.Plenty of flavor, but on the small side. We also ordered a large cheese pizza.The crust was thin, but it was soft, chewy, doughy, not at all crispy and very disappointing. The service was very good.

    Ahhhh MAZING! I went with the basic cheese with garlic as my additional topping. It came out hot and fast and with the perfect crust!!! The bar itself is adorable, I love the fireplace theme. Its small and quaint and the servers were all friendly. Prices were reasonable for drinks and food. Will absolutely be back.

    Large Half Shrimp Scampi, Half Mashed Potato Pizza
    Ola K.

    If you like pizza this is a good place to go, there isn't too much else on the menu other than a couple soups and salads and about 4 sandwiches, but definitely a good pizza spot. We got a half and half large pizza, with the shrimp scampi which was good and the mashed potato pizza which was good but nothing extravagant. The waitress was very kind and attentive and their bar area is very cool. They have a large beer and cocktail menu and their special Spring Margarita was delicious. There is free parking including a parking lot in the area which is a big plus for me.

    Two slices of Veggie Pizza.  The one on the left is more like pepper and a couple other things.

    I was super hyped for their pizza because I've heard many great things about it. But instead I ended up being disappointed two nights in a row. Yes I ordered pizza from here two days in a row and was disappointed both times, damn shame. First night I was able to try their Mashed Potato Pizza, Chicken Bacon and Ranch Pizza, and their South Philly Pizza. I'm sorry I could not get pictures of the full pizzas, I didn't want people to wait for me since I couldn't beat them to it. I am very happy that they offer a Mashed Potato Pizza. It was the best pizza out of all of them for the wrong reasons. The Mashed Potato just overpowers the things that suck such as the doughy texture on this thin pizza. A couple people even claimed they couldn't taste the mashed potato at all. Personally, it was OK. Toppings weren't too bad on this one. The South Philly had Italian Sausage, Mushrooms and Onions. This one wasn't bad but the sausage really lacked its presence and if I closed my eyes I would have never knew it was there. Mushrooms were good but the mozzarella got rubbery to a point where I thought I was eating a school pizza. The Chicken Bacon and Ranch I had two nights in a row. Toppings were super uneven, you had to pick and choose. That's normal to pick and choose but legit one had straight bacon and no chicken, another was 50% cheese like there was an invisible wall stopping any toppings from going further north at all costs, but luckily I found one that was kinda even. Sadly the chicken was dry and I honestly had no hint of ranch either. The Veggie Pizza was a hit or miss depending on the slice. One was great, even toppings, not as doughy, not bad! But another was straight peppers! Look at my picture! Come on man! That's just careless! It doesn't need to be perfect but seriously you can't be that busy. All my pizzas were thin but still kinda doughy, slices were noticeably unevenly topped, as well as uneven and dull slices. Service was friendly and quick though, I do appreciate that very much. It's the least I could get. Consistency is great.......but not when it's negative. I thought they had a rough day on day 1, but day 2 was unforgivable. Sorry! 2-Stars for my pepper pizza.

    Large spinaci salad to share

    So glad I made a note that they had baked wings here, because we eat a TON of wings, and as you know, it's easy to find them everywhere fried, and double fried. But when you can find an amazing, baked, grilled or smoked wing? There's not much better! So the whole experience when we arrived on a Saturday night. The outside seating was full, there were heaters and patrons having a great time enjoying the fall weather, food and drinks! We weren't waiting, so we got a table in the bar area. Whoever sat us wasn't friendly or smiling, but hey, we did get a table. Our server on the other hand was pleasant, helpful and came back regularly to check on us since we were having trouble deciding which wings to get. We were having trouble because we LOVE to try different flavors of wings, but you can only get a dozen of each flavor, and we knew we didn't need more than 2 dozen for 2 of us. We ended up going with the Fire Place Wings and Spicy Garlic. They were both AMAZING!!!!!!! I mean, no blue cheese required (though we asked for it, because we didn't know any better) and I even LOVED the dry rub, which were the Fire Place wings. The Spicy Garlic had some sauce, not a ton but just the fact that there was sauce would usually make this my favorite flavor by default, but not this time. Now, that's not to say that the Fire Place wings were my favorite, I mean they were both perfect so I couldn't even choose which I liked more!!! I can't wait to get back to try more wings. The Fire Place wings were crispy on the outside but so moist and juicy on the inside, both flavors were oven roasted to perfection and I couldn't have been happier with the decision to drive 25 minutes to try this place out! Our spinaci salad was good as well, and we got a bottle of Pinot Grigio to share for $25. I was quite happy with this $74 dining experience, and literally can't wait to go back and try two more flavors with our next two dozen we order!!! They'll definitely see us again!

    Wood fire oven
    Rachel S.

    Came here for the first time, someone had recommended it and I will say I was fairly impressed! First of all they carry the classic Stewart's soda so already a plus for me. Started off with the fire place wings. They consist of their specialty dry rub along with maple chipotle baked in their wood fired oven (not fried). I'm usually not a fan of dry rub and I usually like my wings fried hard but these wings were great! Exploding with flavor in Every bite and juicy and tender on the inside! I was only upset that I couldn't combine flavors and there's only one size, but once I ate them I was very satisfied! Next we tried the Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza. The crust had a good amount of crunch and softness. Flavor was pretty good as well. I will definitely be back here and recommend it if you're in the area!

It's very rare to find a place that does this. I was excitedand ordered two grinders. One was the Lucky Luciano and the other was the Sicilian. The. Lucky Luciano is a vegetable base with provolone cheese. It was thinly sliced provolone cheese, two slices on the entire grinder. Unfortunately, due to the marinated mushrooms and marinated eggplant. The bread was pretty soaked. I think if they used more cheese as a barrier, this sandwich could've been better. The Sicilian is basically an eggplant Parmesan. I did not care for this in Parmesan however it is edible. The eggplant was sliced, extremely thin that you could barely taste it. Instead of using melted mozzarella, there was one hunk of fresh mozzarella on the sandwich. I did feel that the prices were pretty expensive however, I probably would try the vegetable sandwich again if I eat it in person and ask them to put extra provolone around the bread . A lot of the reviews people love it here so I might try some other sandwiches however I don't eat meat so these were the two sandwiches I was interested in.

We couldn't wait to come back. Several months later on our second visit, we arrived well before their posted closing time - 9pm. It was around 7:45pm, the lights were on, but the door was locked and the staff seemed to be cleaning up. One of them looked up, saw us standing at the door and then went back to doing whatever they were doing without bothering to engage with us. It was incredibly frustrating having driven almost an hour with the expectation of getting some delicious food, only to be ignored by staff at a time when they were supposed to be open. Many months later (giving them the benefit of the doubt that the early closure on our last visit was a fluke) we made the trip up again. We arrived to find the place was locked up and dark - again during a time when they were supposed to be open. Today I was with some friends and we stopped to have lunch at Smokin' With Chris next door. During our meal, I mentioned my past experiences with The Lab, but also said how good the food was. So, we walked over to look at the menu and possibly pick up dinner for later that evening. It was around 1:30pm, the lights were off and the door was locked. I double-checked their website, and they were supposed to be open at 11:30am. While I was on my phone, an employee came up, unlocked the door, turned on the lights and began his shift - two full hours after they were supposed to be open! WTF?! Apparently, the owners of The Lab seem to believe that their food is so epic that they can just operate their business whenever they like regardless of their posted hours. This total lack of consideration for their customers is beyond insulting. It's really too bad because the food is good, but not good enough to offset the unprofessional manner the owners are running (or in this case, not running) this place. There are way too many other great dining options available nearby that actually adhere to their posted hours to put up with this nonsense.

I walked in and from first glance, you can tell it is a staple type establishment for those within the community of Plainville. A spot that folks love to hit up in the mornings and for lunch to get their day started and to keep it going. I always can appreciate a good home-style vibe. Jim's had a few patrons inside, all having conversations with the ladies behind the counter that were making food and then the gentleman at the register as well. I will say that when I walked up to the counter, one lady looked at me as if I had a third eye, scoffed and walked away but I didn't think much of it for she may have been having a bad morning....moments later the other Woman said, "What do you want?" in a questionable tone but again, I digress for they both looked flustered. I placed an order and simply walked to the register and proceeded to grab a few more items for my review. I started off with the Pastrami Reuben on hardroll. The roll was toasted for that crispy factor and the pastrami itself, was good. You really can't go wrong when the cut on the pastrami is just right and it has a nice cut about it. The sauerkraut was ok, nothing major to write home about to be honest and it had a nice savory sauce with some Swiss cheese that. complemented the sandwich. Moving along to their macaroni salad! The mayo was tangy, and the red onions drew in the flavor profile rather nicely. It was seasoned with pepper as well and with the macaroni cooked to near perfection, you couldn't go wrong here. Now their Bacon, Egg and cheese on a hard roll left much to be desired. More BREAD than egg and bacon....You could barely see it from the side, let alone taste anything. I was sadly disappointed in their excuse for a breakfast sandwich. It lacked style, ingredients and flavor. This brings us over to their Apple Crisp! Fresh apples, cinnamon and granola goodness that made up for the horrible breakfast sandwich. Each bite of the crisp sent harps my way to play me a melody of tasty treats. Not too bad but between their. questionable customer service and my breakfast sandwich, I can only give Jim's an overall score of 3.5.
