First time here and had a good meal. Ordered a few apps to share: wings and pretzel bites and both were great. Went with the bourbon burger and it was cooked as requested. Could have used more sauce since it was a little dry for a medium. Fries were awesome though; I loved the thick cut, double fried for crispiness. Service was good, kitchen botched the wing order so waitress gave us a discount without us asking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the open kitchen, however, they need better ventilation. As much as I love the smell of fried food and grilled meat, I'd rather not have it linger on my clothes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely return when in the area. read more

Fireside has been a local restaurant I frequent often since it's a short walk from where I live. They have daily specials, and I've enjoyed their burgers and wings a lot. Their fries are also chunky chip-style and really tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also like the big grill in the center of the restaurant. I think it adds a nice ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've now ordered their steak a few times, and I do not recommend ordering one here. I have almost never had the kitchen prepare it properly. This most recent time, I had to ask my server to return it twice so it was not raw in the middle. Unshockingly, it was totally overcooked by the time they managed to not have the steak be raw in the middle. It's not the first time I've been served a raw steak there when I ask for medium rare. Given it's a pretty pricey item on their menu, I don't understand why their kitchen isn't temping their steaks (there are easy guidelines about temperature ranges and doneness). I've attached a picture of how the steak came before I sent it back to be cooked. My server was very helpful, but I wish the kitchen had gotten it right in the first place. If I can cook a steak at home with more consistency and better results, a professional kitchen should be able to do better than I can. read more

Great place to meet for dinner after work on Thursdays for the $10 burger special! Most recently I had the bacon Brussel sprouts and the bourbon burger. Service is excellent, you can sit a the bar near the fire or at a table. Great place for a quick and tasty meal! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dark and old interior but super kind staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was great! The wings were big and crispy. The corn was out of this world, wish I could have stomached 2 of them. The best thing on the menu is the bacon crab hushpuppies. I was scared the bacon flavor would take over but it provided the right texture. My only complaint is I wish the happy hour extended to some of the apps. Otherwise decent bar food in a bar atmosphere with a great price point. read more

I recently went back to Fireside Public House for their Monday night wing special. I ordered a small salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber) with balsamic dressing and 6 grilled wings (buffalo ranch) with ranch on the side. I'm such a fan of their wings, both grilled and fried. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the patio, which is always a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is also good and this is just a chill spot to dine at overall. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the look of the space. I enjoyed being able to sit outside and enjoy the weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was decent. I had two types of wings that were good. I also ordered the pretzel bites. The cheese wasn't the best. It wasn't smooth and was weird looking. I ordered fries that came out extremely late and weren't all the way cooked through so I sent them back. Our server while friendly was very forgetful. It took forever to just get our waters. As I mentioned my fries came out late because she forgot to put the order in. Also my friend ordered the Mexican corn which she also forgot to put in so it was a long wait. My friend ordered the Brussels sprouts and asked for the sauce on the side. They came out with the sauce on them. Overall all it was an ok experience the service just lacked somewhat. read more

This Illy Philly and her man were hungry, the power was out in Pittsburgh, and we needed a place to get some hot food so we decided to go to the Fireside Public House for what we thought would be a great experience. Not at all. When we walked in the restaurant had a few people so we thought great, and we waited for someone to seat us, but after about five minutes of watching the staff walk around, not acknowledge us, and not seat us we had to call out to them to ask if we could seat ourselves. We then sat at the bar and this is when the nightmare began... We sat for about 30 minutes before anyone asked us if they could help us. While we were seated we watched people come in, get seated almost immediately and get service....WE were still at the bar...with no service.Finally a waitress came and said she would be with us shortly and took our drink order. My guy ordered a beer and I ordered hot tea. After another 20 minutes he finally got his bear and I got a tea bag....yes, a tea bag and no water. After another 20 minutes she finally brought me the water, but we had to ask her twice just to get it. All in all we waited over an hour and a half to get our food and everyone that came in after us had their food within 15 to 20 minutes. We had to call over the waitress twice and the second time she had an attitude as we 'pleasantly' pointed out that tables that sat after us already received their food. She made excuses, with an attitude, and we still had to wait. Needless to say it was a horrific experience and my suggestion would be to have a conversation/training about good customer service and what that looks like. What was really crazy is after all of that, they didn't even comp our bill for the nightmare and she had an attitude when we asked about this and only took 10% off. Oh, I forgot she did offer my man a free beer. Smh.... If I could give a 0 rating I would. read more

What a hidden gem! I have driven by many times without giving it a thought to stop. Tonight my daughter suggested it for dinner - so happy she did! We were greeted by a friendly hostess at the door and requested to sit on the patio. Our server, Alexis was tending to another table, but greeted us and said she would be right with us. I had a BLT that came with hand-cut fries and my daughter had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich that also came with fries. Both were wonderful! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio was clean and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Alexis was very personable and friendly. Prices were reasonable - food was delicious! Will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

Good service, good food! Don't miss the fresh cut fries. Salads also fresh and delicious!

I've been eating wings since 1978 while I was working at the original Quaker steak and lube in downtown Sharron PA. The wings I just had at this establishment were undoubtedly the best I've ever had. I have the fried buffalo Inferno I had to order some to go. You can get them char, grilled or fried you won't be disappointed. read more

I hadn't been to Fire Side Public for nearly a year I always remember the giant wood grill I ordered the fire side cheeseburger [[HIGHLIGHT]]it wasn't particularly crowded in fact the ladder maybe 15 people[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . I'd just finished working out and fortunately I wasn't in a hurry. The burger was good and the french fries excellent. It literally took over 45 minutes to finally get my order. Bottom line if you're no starving or in a hurry it's a good spot' be prepared to spend at least an hour and change read more

I don't normally leave reviews, but I can honestly say this was the worst dining experience I have ever had in terms of both service and food. The waitstaff seemed annoyed that we were even there. The food took forever and was cold at arrival. Waitstaff never came back to ask if we needed any more stale beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This could be somewhat understandable in a crowded restaurant, which this was not. It was 7:30 on a Friday night and the place was maybe a quarter full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (Can't imagine why) [[HIGHLIGHT]]The big fire is cool though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great service and great food, I ordered the avocado chicken sandwich and my husband got the BLT. It was the best grilled chicken I've ever had - cooked just right and not dry at all on the wood grill. I had a cocktail and it was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean and I enjoyed watching the chefs prepare the food behind the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be back! read more

Just your average bar spot with average food. I had a burger with fries here and it was good, the portions were very big and it was greasy in a good way. Nothing to write home about though. The beer selection is also good. I came on a Wednesday night, There are not many people at the restaurant which is how most places are in this neighborhood on Wednesday. Service was fine, no complaints about that. The bathroom was clean. The restaurant is huge and would maybe be more fun in the summer as they have Wide windows. Decent spot for a quick late night meal. read more

The waitress had us get our own menus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looked put together but the staff wasn't.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She (the waitress)was very nice but barely came to our table. It took an hour and a half to get our food after we ordered. The chicken was burnt and the cheesesteak was extremely fatty. Also, the fries go from a plastic container to a fryer with extremely dirty oil to more plastic. The hush puppies tasted very good. Multiple tables ordered after us and got their food before us. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anybody. read more

Their food was awesome! We had a burger and wings. Their BBQ sauce selection was great! A lot of neat and less common options. We will definitely be back. read more

We went here after going to a class at the Glass Center. First, there is a parking lot. This is helpful. We went in and it gives hipster vibes and diner all in one. We got a host of food and it was all above average. Burgers and fries are seasoned and they make everything in house. I also enjoyed our server who was like Donny Iris Yinzer which made me smile. Overall it was a good dinner, and we will go back again. read more

We were looking for a bite to eat and stopped here. We sat outside. Menu is small but they have mainly bbq items. I decided to get grilled wings but they only had fried. Had a dozen of blended sauces garlic Parmesan and dry Cajun. They were good. Service was slow. We sat outside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is a bit odd and not inviting at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drink wise they offer domestic drinks. read more

This experience doesnt deserve a rating!!!We had appetizers & dinner which was mid at best and we go 2 pay for our meal hand the check/money to our server and we notice a mouse scurry across the floor where food is being prepped/cooked.

Very good happy hour selection, the atmosphere was chill, good crafty beers and crafty burgers. Freshly made french fries are always a plus and the servers are very nice. The only thing that wasn't 5* is the timing of the food. I waited over 40 minutes on my burger and when it came, it was on the colder side, while the french fries were hot. Timing of the dish coming out could be improved upon. read more

Excellent. All the food was fresh and top notch. The crab hush puppies were fantastic! This was a fantastic find! Will be back!

Your very run of the mill American bar food style restaurant. Service was very friendly and food/drinks were priced well. These were probably the only reasons I would come back. Food was pretty bland and generic. Has a sports bar vibe but only one smaller tv in near the bar. read more

Service was absulotely amazing. A wonderful vibe and very friendly to costumers. However Iv'e rarely gotten fries so undercooked and tasteless. My friend said his burbon burger was really good though. I just think they should cut down their fries so they can cook all the way through. Server was amazing! read more

Today I got takeout from here for dinner. I got the Pittsburgh cheesesteak. It was ok. Definitely not a $20 sandwich though. Maybe I would have a better impression if I came and sat down and had drinks with my meal. They do have an extensive drink menu. Another plus is that they have a parking lot- no need to hunt for street parking. read more

Good spot when you're in the mood for some good old American food! We loved our meal! We got the crab hush puppies to start (really good!), the Pittsburgh cheesesteak and the fried cod sandwiches as our entrees and the pineapple sundae to finish off. I was surprised with how good the sandwiches were! The horseradish aioli on the cheesesteak made the sandwich fun and unique. The cod sandwich had a thick piece of cod and light batter. The fries were also nicely seasoned, though a little crispier would've made them even better. All in all, a really good dinner!! Also shoutout to our server, Kyle! He was very covid conscious and super courteous! read more

This place offers a nice private parking lot, patio dining, and indoor dining. The service was decent and the wait for food was not long. They offer signature drinks, wine, and beer. Happy hour runs 5-7pm and they have American fare such as wings, burgers, and salmon. There aren't too many vegan or vegetarian options, but the menu has some great items to choose from. I really wanted some pierogis but unfortunately they were sold out...huge bummer. But....Guess what?! I found the street corn!! The street corn has a nice spicy kick and the kernels were juicy and crisp - not overcooked. Very well executed!! I shall return! read more

Food was great. Service was good. There is a great beer selection and on Saturday had a 5.00 margarita special. The only downside is the place is sooooo dark. It looks like there is recessed lighting but it wasn't on. There were two large chandeliers but a lot of the bulbs were burned out. We had to use our flashlights at the table. When I asked the waitress if something unusual was happening she said no. read more

We really enjoyed our time at Fire Side Public House. We just happened upon it and got a chance to eat outside. The food was fantastic. However, because we ate outside (I think) we were given paper products instead of dishware. That bugs me. It's a waste. It was windy and it was blowing away. And really, I am an adult and won't break the dishes. read more

After shopping near East Liberty, we looked for a restaurant using yelp of course. This place had decent reviews, so we went to check it out! Pretty glad we did because the burgers were amazing! We ordered the maple bacon wings which were good. They came with green onions which I thought tasted good with the maple and bacon bits. We then got the avocado burger and the black and blue burger. The burgers had a nice sear on the outside and they were super juicy and flavorful. The buns were toasted and super soft. The avocado burger came with half an avocado on it and the queso fresco was great. I will say that the inside of the restaurant was not super clean, so if I were to rate the atmosphere I would give it a 3. They were really understaffed. Overall I would give this place another try, but I would probably get another burger because it was so good! read more
