    everything was prepared to perfection! The portions were very generous. Looking forward to another event just to have them cater.

    One of the best kept secrets in Fayetteville. This little gem serving breakfast and lunch is…read moreamazing. There's usually a line (not a well kept secret) but does move fast. Serves your typical breakfast items, but better, then some not typical items. I only have had brunch here but they were cooked perfectly.

    I've went to school with Rita, Nanda and Spero. I've known them for 40 plus years and I've been…read moregoing Fireside for years, then Mr. Jim's before that. A very good friend of mine, a lovely lady in her 80's who's also known the siblings for years and who's been a very good customer and extremely kind to all of them for were meeting for breakfast on 5/17/26. I kingly spoke to Rita and told her my friend was already seeded so I politely told Rita I was going in join my friend who was already seated. Rita is the only one I spoke to that morning besides our server. I had some food left after we finished breakfast so asked for a to go box as well as a cup of coffee to go. Then all hell broke loose!!! The next thing I know I heard Rita YELLING, "He asked for a to go box!!!". Then Spero and Rita started screaming at each other then I heard them say my name. Spero comes out from behind the grill, sprints over to our booth, learns down, gets right in my face then starts screaming and cursing at me very loudly in front a full restaurant of customers as well as my dear friend!!! I was shocked then Rita started screaming a d cursing me from across the restaurant!!! After a minute or I stood and also started screaming and yelling back at Spero and Rita!!! My friend was absolutely terrified and in shock!!! I'm not proud of my reaction but I give what I get and I'm not the type of person to sit there and take it!!! Finally Spero yelled at me to "Get the fuck off his property" then something along the lines of he take if me outside and take care of me!!! I obliged him and followed him out the door!!! My friend was shaking and terrified as we went outside while Spero threatened to "beat my ass" while we booth screamed and yelled at each other!!! I told him to please hit me that I've always wanted to own a restaurant!!! Spero finally went back inside and I tended to my friend who was shaking like a leaf and terrified!!! I calmed her down then we got in our vehicles and left. I realized I forgot my glasses and Rita was standing at the door when I went back yelling to me as I stepped out of my car, "Get the fuck off my property, you Motherfucker!!!", I told I would be if she would bring my glasses. She came and said they weren't there and cussed at me until I drove away!!! The previous Sunday another friend went to Fireside about 9:15am when he was told by server told they were closed for the day and yhat the siblings had been fighting and Spero left!!! I've heard many stories of their horrible behavior for years but I'd never before seen it up close nor been the victim!!! Nanda is the only one of them I've never heard anything horrible about. Rita and Spero are severely unhinged, especially Rita!!! In my opinion she's rude, nasty, hateful and crazy and someone that doesn't need to be in the restaurant business. She's had a constant. turnover of servers for years!!! I also believe Spero was on something that morning!!! Both of them need professional medical help!!! My friend will NEVER darken their door again!!!
