I got a to-go order from this place last night; it was the "Fireplace Philly." It deserved one star, but the use of real potatoes for the fries earned them, barely, the second star. First, the sandwich. Bun NOT TOASTED. Lazy cooks; unacceptable. Toast the bleeping bun! I like cheese as much as the next person, but I didn't ask for a taffy-pull sandwich with flavorless mozzarella (which should've been white American or provolone) that was piled at the bottom of the thing, but should have been mixed in with the beef and onions. The bell peppers they added were okay, but peppers don't belong on a Philly. The onion slices were very large, very few, and on the al dente side. Inconsistent slicing and cooking. Lazy cooks. The ground beef -- not the appropriate thinly SLICED beef; it's a Philly CheeseSTEAK sandwich -- was very DRY and somehow, even with the inappropriate peppers and the onions mixed in, it lacked seasoning. It was bland. Very bland. You know where these folks made up for the lack of the sandwich seasoning? By drowning the fries in salt. While I was pleased to see real potatoes used, the salt dump made them pretty much inedible. I hate throwing food away, but the salt was overwhelming. It's an absolute truth that you never get a second chance to make a first impression; this is especially true of restaurants. The "Fireplace Philly," at $13.99, was over-priced and below average. I have zero incentive to give this place a second chance. read more

Excellent food and service. Ron's recommendation was well founded. If there was an actual fireplace there I didn't see it other than the mural on the wall. read more

Rack of ribs was similar to a lump of charcoal. Unable to even cut them with a knife.

Everything is always good. The fish is the best anywhere around. This is definitely high on my list of my favorite places to go

Good food and beautiful atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended. We love sitting at the bar.

I wasn't really pleased with the presentation of the food I heard nothing but good things about this place but when I tried it I was extremely disappointed not sure if I will give it another chance read more

Wonderful food and service. Traveled here on a trip frown the west coast and it did not disappoint.

We love eating here. Never a bad meal or bad service. Always great. Must try if you haven't before.

just moved to the area and a decided to check this spot out with another couple. it was a Saturday evening and the place was filled with people. the bar and the restaurant had a nice vibe. very large menu with a lot of options but i went with what they're famous for the fish. my cajun broiled cod was delicious. it came with a side and either a salad or soup. the bread for the table as a loaf that came out hot fresh out of the oven. we will be going back again read more

Have driven by this place several times and thought it looked like a nice place to try, so we went for the first time on 6/22/22. From the moment we walked in, it wasn't a good experience. No one was at the hostess stand, had to wait to be seated. Once seated, no one came to the table for nearly 10 minutes, I had to go to the bar and ask them to have someone come and at least get a drink order. By that time, we were ready to order. We ordered simple things...pepper and egg sandwich and a sausage sandwich, as well as a cup of soup. We waited nearly an hour for our food and when it finally came, it was subpar. The egg on the sandwich was overcooked. No condiments on either sandwich. The soup was never brought out to us, I had to remind the waitress that we never got it and we asked her not even to bring it out. My fiancee took two bites, but didn't even eat the sandwich it was so bad. Thankfully they removed the meal from the bill. I believe it was the owner that was behind the bar and we were in plain view of him the whole time. It seemed like no one recognized that we weren't thrilled while we waited forever. Our waitress was friendly, but not very attentive. Needless to say, we won't be going back. read more

Very poor service. There was no wait for me to be seated, but once seated I waited 30 minutes for my waitress or waiter. I had 2 waiters stop by and say they were not my waiter but my waiter would be coming soon. The restaurant was not that busy at the time, as I mentioned I was seated immediately. I eventually left do to no service read more

Continuing our quest for good greens, we started with an order of greens for an appetizer. Of all the places we've tried in the greater Poland area, these were quite good although my husband and I agree Johnny's is currently our favorite. I had the fish Italian style while my husband had the Tuscan chicken. I got my fish without the cheese as somehow cheese on broiled fish didn't seem a good fit. The fish was ok but nothing special and would have been quite bland without the tomato sauce, onions and peppers. My husband's chicken over penne dish was a bit watery and he said it was good but would not get it again. My side of mac and cheese was also very watery and a big disappointment. I love mac and cheese but ate less than half. My wine was served in what should have been a water goblet and the first glass had a bit of the foil from the bottle in the bottom. It would certainly have been nicer to have a proper wine glass than what I received. Service was spotty at best, sometimes attentive but we went for long periods without seeing our waitress. The restaurant was busy but being an established place, I expected better from them. read more

The worst. Absolutely no flavor. I had the garlic shrimp scampi. No at all. Tasted like chicken noodle soup with 10 tiny shrimp that were not deveined. Yuck. We also had the greens as an appetizer. No flavor there either. I was very disappoint as we had had a sandwich the day before(from somewhere else) that had delicious grilled greens on it. Only good part of the food was the bread and butter. read more

Rude staff! Turned our group of 6 away on a Friday night. Said "we have no more tables for dinner" and "didn't know when another table would open". Didn't offer to put us on a wait list- just let us walk out the door! read more

Came here for the first time because the parking lot is always packed and I don't know how. I ordered the homemade cavatelli and it looks more like gnocchi than anything except it's a solid ball of dough that is absolutely horrible. Also when I was here the soup of the day was pasta fazool and the Broth was comparable to what comes out of a ketchup bottle if you don't shake it before squeezing read more

Happy with the filet mignon. Staff member could have asked if we wanted a second round of drinks!

Random stop on Tuesday evening. Low and behold, we found a local gem! Summer patio in full swing with live band "Bustin Loose"How fun! A happy Senior crowd filled the dance floor. Food was great. Bread and salad were just right. Italian leaning but lots of options. Steak was perfectly cooked homemade pasta rich and generous. Service was a teense slow but the place was hoppin so we didn't mind. If you aren't an ageist ...Go! read more

The Fireplace - Bread was fresher than fresh. - Lounges Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

We love this place. Great food and great people! We are definitely going again and again. A good family place. A very welcoming atmosphere. Almost like Cheers, they remember your name and your drink. read more

Great date night with my husband. The live band was fun! We ordered the fried vegetable platter for our starter. It was a large portion of zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and onion rings. The batter was crisp and not greasy at all. Very yummy served with cocktail sauce and a ranch dip. I ordered the veal parmigiana with whole wheat pasta- it was wonderful! The veal had a ton of melted mozzarella- almost like getting a fried cheese for free! The whole wheat pasta was also beautifully cooked. The marinara sauce was sweet and wonderfully seasoned. My husband ordered the "world famous" fish. It was good - but not world famous good. We thought it would have the same breading as the fried vegetables- no such luck. It was bread crumb coated and I think baked - not fried. read more

See all

The atmosphere was clam and relaxing. The service was fantastic. The food was amazing. I got a chicken parm. and the pasta was tender and well cooked. The chicken was seasoned well and tender to the bit. #Delicious I highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal that fills you to the brim. #BellyBuster read more

Ordered take out and picked it up not a long wait at all. Ordered a Hamburger and Meatball Sub both came with fries. Very good price for the size of the Hamburger and Meatball Sub. Absolutely delicious, they let you put whatever you want on your burger. I will eat here again if I get a chance. Also the fireplace seemed very nice, a bar setting. Did not eat in but appeared to be clean and had good atmosphere. I recommend this bar/restaurant for locals and for people visiting. read more

From the moment we walked in, the bar tender was friendly and helpful. The entire way through dinner she was attentive and asked if we needed anything. I had the meatball hoagie and sweet potato fries and my husband had the sirloin steak hoagie and both were delicious. They are large portions that are hard to finish. Everything was fresh and tasted like it was homemade. read more

Food was good but "meh". Service was a little slow. We started with an appetizer of the mozzarella sticks and they were delicious. The bread was very good and fresh. We ordered the fried cod with macaroni and cheese. It was good but nothing special. My daughter had the cavatelli which I thought was very good. Might try again and order something different. The atmosphere was cold and a little cramped. Was very difficult to find our way out just because of the seating and trying not to bump into any of the surrounding tables. Overall it was ok, but being ok sometimes just doesn't cut it with so many other options close by. read more

Awful food. The place was very busy but the first time visit for us. Husband had fish & mac/cheese. He eat only two bites of each and could not eat anymore it was so bad tasting. Even tried to help with the fish by using tarter sauce which he said was spoiled. His Coleslaw was watered down with no flavor. I ordered a cheese burger - the description called out 100% beef but the patty tasted like something processed. read more
