The fried okra was the best I've ever had. The breading was perfectly crisp and beautifully seasoned. It melted in your mouth while the okra burst with flavor. No notes on those fried okra. Perfection. My only frustration is one I have most everywhere in Tennessee - the take out containers and cups are Styrofoam.

We ordered ribs with reasonably priced "add ons" of brisket and chicken breast. We're glad we did, because ALL of it was tasty and AMAZING! We ordered broccoli salad, Cole slaw and potato salad - ALL WERE FANTASTIC! They make their own sauce and it is GREAT! For me, it started with a bit of a tangy vinegar bite and moved quickly into a wonderful sweetness that I LOVE in bbq sauces. This is one of my favs, now. It isn't thick and cloyingly gooey...a nice medium weight sauce, which whispers rather than shouts. Really, it's sublime. The ribs were AWESOME. Tender and done just right. The chicken breast was surprisingly tender and juicy - melt-in-your-mouth juicy, in fact! It was the brisket, though, which sent my taste buds soaring. The brisket had a perfect texture - pliable and yet so tender I felt as if I discovered a little bit of heaven in that first bite! The slices are thinly cut, but with the perfect amount of thickness, for me. Not too thin. Not too thick, which often ruins brisket, for me. The subtlety was not lost on me. I love to cook and each component of a dish adds or detracts something! This was SUBLIME. The smoke level was perfect. And, oh, SO yummy! BTW, we were greeted as we entered and the vibe (energy) of this restaurant was palpable: these folks LOVE WHAT THEY DO. What a nice change from many restaurants we eat at, where the employees don't seem to actually WANT to work! Our sever, Tyler, couldn't have been a better fit for us. Attentive, punctual, thoughtful and simply perfect! Back to the FOOD.... We ordered broccoli salad. I make my own broccoli salad, which is darned good if I do say so myself- this was better. They thoughtfully chop the broccoli and add a variety of other ingredients, which lifts this recipe into the 'sublime' category. The coleslaw was also a strong contender for us - not too sweet or vinegary. It was very good. The potato salad was awesome, as well and we appreciated the fact that we could choose from a decent list of 'sides'. Not everyone wants fries... The Tennessee toast was their version of Texas Toast and provided the perfect carb to soak up that tasty sauce. This is a family restaurant. They've been in business for decades and it was started, I believe the menu 'backstory' said by a college kid trying to earn money and pay for college: it's become a legend in these parts. We drive well over an hour to try it. We will return, for certain. We order a smoked turkey sandwich to go ( for lunch today!) and a brisket dinner. We can hardly wait to eat this incredibly delicious food, again. This restaurant is the perfect example of the Serendipity of Life. A young man, willing to work for what he envisioned ( a college degree) and who went on to think about and develop a perfect platform, where his earned success now adds value to the lives of his plus or minus 60 employees! Now, that's what I call a Screamin' ' Success! He (Tom) came by our table for chat, which for us, was the proverbial 'icing' on our cake! Thank you to all of the employees, who made our supper the best bbq experience we've had in many a year! Well-done, all of you!

Overall, Firehouse was a fun spot for a family lunch. The experience, atmosphere, service, and value were all positives, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the brisket in particular. That said, the food was still good and I'd recommend a visit.
