Reviews for The Fire Side Public House in Pittsburgh, PA
I hate leaving a bad review on places especially since the service was wonderful. My partner and I went in around 8 on Saturday... evening and the place was pretty empty. The server we had was very sweet and engaging. When I ordered the maple bacon Brusselsshe told me that they were her favorite. When they were delivered, they were absolutely a gross. I wish I had taken a photo.They were not warm, absolutely covered in blue cheese, in an inch of soupy liquid which must have been the maple or Srirachadressing and had no bacon on them. I let my partner try one just to make sure I wasn’t being dramatic about them, and he wasdisgusted by them too. I had to let the liquid drip off of each bite before I could eat them. I hate making a big deal so I atethem and didn’t complain. When I looked at other reviews after we left the photos of the Brussels looked amazing and everyonewas raving about how great they were, so it must have just been someone not preparing them right, but a restaurant needs to beconsistent with their food preparation. Don’t think I’ll be coming back for the Brussels anytime soon. Read more
We got seated very quickly and our server was super nice. Food was great and not too expensive. I'd definitely suggest it as a... place to stop by Read more
The food is excellent! I've had every meat except chicken and all were well prepared as ordered. Sides are exceptional as well.... The grilled brussels are delicious ????, street corn is on-point! The staff is friendly. It's awesome to see your food grilledwhile you watch. I have made this my go to restaurant when in Pittsburgh. Read more
Nice outdoor seating with fire pit. Unfortunately close to the road but not too busy of a section. Nachos were fantastic and... very happy with the veggie burger. Kids loved the chicken tenders! They even provided coloring placement with crayons. Beerselection was limited but may have just been the day we went as the tap blew on a couple of our choices. Read more
Bad 1st experience ???? The bun on the burger was burnt, the chicken for the salad was flavorless and dry, and my bacon was... burnt, I couldn't eat my food. I lost out on $48 dollars, I'm hungry an so upset, so not satisfied with this experience. Read more
The staff were very engaging and spot on with recommendations. The Evil genius Stacy's Mom's IPA has to be one of the best... "middle of the road and NOT over hopped" beers I've experienced in a long time (6.7 alcohol by volume). Casual retro feel, oldermore casual music, great staff. Thank you for the best trip I've had to PA yet. Read more
The food and the service was excellent. They serve very generous portions and they have a very unique mix of favors in their... dishes. The crab hushpuppies are delicious and topped wonderfully with a sweet and savory finish. The Nachos can easily serve aparty of 5 and the burgers are perfectly cooked. If you want to have a hometown favorite, their cheesecake is huge and it issatisfying. They also specialize in drinks and a variety of beers. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can appreciate theirefforts during this pandemic by ensuring that all tables are distanced apart and their patrons are safe. Read more
I don't like leaving bad reviews but I think it's important to let people know what to expect.. Food and beer: All 3 beers I... had were flat. I didn't even think it was worth asking for a new fill. The mixed drinks, tequila sunrise specifically, tastelike watered down juice. The food was honestly terrible.. We ordered the loaded nachos and we're surprised with a generousportion, only to be met with reheated CANNED Chicken and cold cheese sauce that settled hours ago. I had the Nashville hotchicken sandwich which was left in the fryer WAY too long and the oil definitely needed to be changed. Whatever Nashville hotglaze was just dirty fry oil with a tiny bit of cayenne and paprika with no other flavor than burnt. Fries are decent, which weate most of. Service: Our server was kind and attentive. Atmosphere: Had the vibe of an industrial themed brewery with a woodfire and bbq pit (probably unused) without any good beer. Read more
