    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!

I used to go down the street, but the music selection there changed. For those of you frequent to Southington, Spelunkers took over the old Dial 9 speakeasy location. It's a competitive food area and I didn't know what to expect. I'm happy to say that for being marketed as strictly a dive bar, Spelunkers hit all the marks and some. It also was surprisingly large inside compared to what it looked like from the outside (Which was great because some of the other bars nearby are cramped). Their burgers were good and my friends felt the same way about the food that they ordered as wll. They have ample seating (and a variety of it) as well as a pool table and some arcade games to do while listening to music. Prices for drinks were also fair. The interaction that I had with staff, although brief was very friendly. The band they had that night was excellent. Glad I came to see them. They played an eclectic mix of both genres and decades. They were energetic, their song choice were great and they were refreshing to see compared to the typical Southington fare. If they come back to Spelunkers, I'll free my schedule up to come and see. Been watching the socials . Happy to have a fun bar experience again around here and look forward to my next trip.

High tops all around. Fantastic. The wings: so far the best hidden gem we have found. Way better than others in Southington I have previously visited and reviewed. Tons of flavors. They also offer wings in 5's, so, if you're like us and want to try a few sauces - you're in a great position until you find your go-to's. We ordered: hot buffalo, buffalo blue, chipotle honey horseradish, teriyaki wasabi, and an order of their fried shrimp tossed in hot buffalo. All hot, crispy, excellent. While all the sauces were good, the hot buffalo and chipotle honey horseradish make the cut for our next visit. We can't wait to be back and try 3-4 other sauces with the 2 we've fallen in love with. Note: I love the blue cheese dressing at places as much as the wings. I have noticed the wing places in Southington serve a thicker (almost spreadable) homemade blue cheese. It was excellent. But because of its thickness, we went through a lot. And, as you may read in my other reviews, I hate the 2oz soufflé cups in a wing place. 4oz minimum please. Only thing I've learned to do better next time - ask for tons of extra napkins.
