On a Fish Fry Friday, I ordered the clam chowder and fish fry dinner with perch and sweet potatoes. The clam chowder was excellent. Generously prepared, great seasoning and with the right temperature. The fries are sprinkled with cinnamon which was a first for me. The sweet potato fries were a little soggy but not bad. The cherry hard cider was fizzy and refreshing, It looks like the restaurant used to be a fire house. To me, it's like if the Hot House (Menomonee Falls) and Mission BBQ had a baby. Our server was excellent. She took very good care of us. On a quiet afternoon, we were sat by the bar, by a group that was very loud. We would have preferred a different table. read more

Really mixed review. Food was good but the service was meh at best. We were seated immediately but then it took over 10 minutes before someone talked to us again. No drinks, no "we will be with you shortly" or anything. We just sat there. Finally a server came over and said they had a big group come in and it was causing some backup and the host should have told us; he didn't. The drinks and appetizer came quickly and the street corner appetizer was very good; I would order it again. Once the appetizer was finished we sat with empty glasses for a good while. Again, no communication. Once the food arrived, things got much better. Wraps were good, not great. My daughter's pizza was good. With all the restaurants in the area, they will need to up their game on service. read more

The food was delicious and reasonably priced, but sides were extra. The burgers were juicy and perfectly cooked. Staff was friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend. read more

Stopped in on a busy Thursday night for dinner and sat at the bar. Got drinks right away and ordered dinner. Food came out quickly and was delicious! My wife got the Pulled Pork, a nice mound of meat with a sweet sauce on tasty Sourdough bread. I got the Backdraft Burger, which was a great combination of flavors and just a little kick. The fries are nicely flavored and we got a good pile of them for a side. Service was great and the prices very reasonable. Cool vibe. Clean, and a variety of seating with lots of TVs. read more

What a fun place to see the patches of first responders from all over the country. Order the curds for an appetizer- they are good and this review coming from someone who doesn't eat much cheese! We had the Buffalo chicken mac & cheese - you won't be hungry afterwards, guaranteed! The broasted chicken was done perfectly and the salad served was fresh and filling. Definitely would stop in again! read more

Great spot all around. Went here for dinner and they were able to seat us outside next to the door so we could still hear the live music right inside which was a huge plus. The waitress was so sweet and efficient. They allowed the dog to sit outside with us which was also nice. The appetizers of cheese curds, side salad, and wings were better than my entree which was a dip sandwich. The drinks were very reasonably priced and one of the best things about this place is its open late for Wisconsin, still wish places stayed open a little longer as we felt crunched for time read more

Door County Fire offers a great firehouse-themed atmosphere. I ordered the walleye plate, which was lacking flavor. The fish was bland, like they forgot to salt or season it. The coleslaw is vinegar based. The fries are standard and were good Great, friendly service! read more

Ordered carryout BBQ chicken pizza tonight and while the description online sounded fantastic, unfortunately the actual product did not deliver. Once I arrived to pick up my pizza it was ready on time and the hostess was very friendly, so those things are definitely a positive, however there were not many toppings on the pizza/a very uneven distribution of toppings. Some slices had a good amount and some had literally nothing at all. I had to search for the red onions since they were diced so small and not many were on the pizza. My husband and I were both unfortunately disappointed and cannot recommend this particular menu item. Perhaps I just chose the wrong thing and they are more known for sandwiches, burgers, etc. **I was contacted very quickly with an apology and offer to right the situation from this business. They take customer feedback very seriously and I most definitely appreciated this.** read more

I went to Door County Fire for dinner last night. I started with the seafood chowder which was pretty good. I think I might pass on it in the future. For the main course, I ordered the browned butter Walleye. I've never eaten Walleye before, but I definitely will going forward. It was beyond delicious! Somewhat sweet. The browned butter glaze was amazing! You should do yourself a favor and try it! I chose mashed potatoes, which were real and delicious. It came with some gravy because, well, its potatoes. Gotta live some, lol. It also came with some bread that, if it wasn't homemade, I'd be very surprised. Lastly, there was some cole slaw, which, while I'm not a gan, I think most people would enjoy. The server could not have been nicer. Very friendly and helpful. Overall, great place! I can't wait to go back. read more

My family is in town for the week and after our long drive we stopped here for dinner. The place is very casual and has a chill vibe. They have a decent size drink menu with a selection of draft beers with a lot of local places. My husband and I love local beer so we were happy to try some of those. For an appetizer we got the cheese curds. These were super good but you don't get a lot of them so plan to share between 2 people max. I got to eat the 1/2 walleye plate with chowder as a side and my husband got the walleye sandwich. The fish was very good and didn't have a lot of breading on it which I like! Our server was also very nice and gave us some information about things to do around here. Overall, good food and good atmosphere. read more

Ate a totally delicious chicken Ceasar salad as I sat at the bar as a solo woman. Bartenders are friendly and will go up to bat for you. Food is DELICIOUS. Highly recommend. Will be back. read more

Quick friendly service on a slow Monday. I had the Local Fireman's sandwich YUM turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese and yummy bbq sauce on 7 grain bread. The house fries have good seasoning. My brother gave the chili high marks along with the chicken Cesar wrap. Has low seats as well as high seats, so more accessible. read more

It's currently not good. There's a handful of decent cooks in door county that move around between restaurants and currently this place doesn't have any of them - causing the food quality to be lackluster. Owner is also combative and passive-aggressive when given constructive criticism. read more

Really liked the fire department mixed with a sports bar decor. Our server was very good and responsive. Couldn't have been better. Loved the crunchy onion rings as an app - plenty large for the 3 of us. The 12 veggie pizza ( w/sausage - don't ask me, I didn't order it) was delicious. My summer salad was nicely assembled with a ton of chicken. The only disappoint was the chicken Caesar wrap that seemed a bit plain read more

This is where the locals go for the beers and pretty good bar food. Bummer that the kitchen was only open until 8pm but we got an order of broasted chicken in time. Staff were friendly; the owner mingled and quaffed beers with the customers. The authentic- and trademarked - broasted chicken was very good. The pressure cooking gives a nice crisp but not too coating-heavy and not oily. Broasted is king in Wisconsin. Burgers and other pub grub were popular with the customers. The place was once the local fire station and memorabilia reflects it. Worth a visit if you're in town. read more

All I wanted was a good bowl of soup and they delivered! I ordered their seafood chowder and loved it. Salty, creamy, warm, full of flavor. The decor was cool - the building was circa the 1800's, and used as a fire station up till 2004. read more

The live music was so fun! Great oldie sing alongs. The whole place singing along to Country Roads. Alia was our server and she was incredible. So nice and cute with our kids. We had the French dip and the siren burger. Both were delicious. This is a don't miss. read more

Service was excellent, the salad I had was also. Our waiter was friendly and thoughtful in suggesting when to order to avoid a bit of a wait. No rush and very efficient. read more

Hubby and I sat at the bar. The bartender was great! He grabbed our drink order quickly and came back for our food order. I ordered the back draft burger. Delicious! Hubby ordered pizza and it was great too. The whole place was a nice welcoming atmosphere. We really enjoyed it. read more

Good fish and chips, more than enough to split between two. Prime quality haddock chunks, though a little over-seasoned. Fish and chips is seasoned at table where we come from so as not to detract from the fish quality. Malt vinegar was available and we made fish and chip butties. Service was very good, attentive and professional. Price point was good. Ambiance was bustling, casual and not too busy. Long bar to sit at. read more

Came here during our weekend getaway and being a firefighter, I had to try the place. We were greeted by a friendly face and saw only one server so we knew to be patient. It was a Packers game night and we sat in the back. We ordered a Bloody Mary, Moscow Mule, a couple Seafood Chowders, and the Fire Company Favorite pizza. That chowder was amazing on a chilly night! The pizza could have been cooked a little longer as the center was still soft and doughy. Our server was great and worked her butt off for her tables. I wish I brought my fire department patch for the bar, but next time! read more

We enjoyed our food and the relaxed atmosphere of Door County Fire. We would return if we travel to Door County again.

Awesome cheeseburger and the Mac and cheese was so creamy. Good selection of beers but getting the Chief.

food is good. I was 3rd degree sexually assaulted in the bathroom. I had a person touching me at the urinal while his pants and underpants were at his ankles. I complained, and left. The bar staff said that this was commend and not a big deal. I walked out without eating, yet was charged for a full meal. Why go here???? read more

Harlie was our server and she was great. The seafood chowder was fabulously delicious as was the broasted chicken. Stop in, you won't be disappointed! read more

I read the reviews and decided this would be a destination on my trip to Sturgeon Bay over the 4th of July holiday. Mid afternoon on Saturday we entered the mostly empty restaurant. We were promptly seated. Many staff we're hanging out around the bar. Beer orders were taken and delivered. Food orders taken. Water has to be requested. Really! it was 90+ degrees outside -- just serve your customers water. We both ordered soup and entrees. Soup came out quickly. The soup of the day, tomato bisque, was excellent, served very hot (temperature wise) as I prefer and came with oyster crackers. I highly recommend it. My husbands seafood bisque had a nice fish flavor with a good amount of seafood. He really liked it and would order again. Main courses were slow to arrive. My assumption is due to the staff paying more attention to a coworkers baby than customers and the kitchen. My Mac and cheese arrived barely warm. It's the worst Mac and cheese I've ever had. It wasn't creamy or flavorful and the cheese was congealed. Probably because it wasn't hot. Needless to say I ate the breadstick and left the rest. On the other hand, my husbands rueben was great. The manager decided to hold a staff meeting in the bar during baby playing which caused a slowdown in our service so we had to wait awhile to receive and pay our bill. Sturgeon Bay has a lot of great restaurants. This wasn't one of them for this trip. Will I give them a second chance next time I'm in town? Probably not. I was underwhelmed. read more

Yum!! I've heard this was a new menu and kudos if that's true. I had the most delicious club sandwich on a buttery sourdough that I will be dreaming about for a while. Yummy local beers on tap. Hubby loved the Reuben. read more

Came up to the area for a quick weekend getaway from Chicago. We always try to find the local gems to patronize no matter where we go. This place stood out on the list so we gave it a try. I had the the badger melt with sweet potato fries. The melt was one of the best I've ever had. I haven't seen rye bread that dark in years! It was fantastic. The fries were good as well as the sauce that went with them. The S/O had the black bean burger and was equally delighted by it. Veggie burgers can be extremely good or extremely bad but this one was one the on the high end of good. The bartender was extremely helpful and attentive. He made sure he drummed up hype for local sturgeon bay businesses as well as gave great recommendations for things to do around the county. Overall a great place to have a quick lunch. Thank you! read more

Great service nice size restaurant really good food choices, and the food was pretty damn good!

Just your average bar with typical bar food, not to say that's bad The beer is cold and have a good selection off the food menu, we had burgers and the fish and chips, all good. The staff was very friendly, good service on a busy Saturday night but did not feeled rushed. I would come here again if I'm in Sturgeon Bay. read more

Very good quality food. Broasted chicken and burger were delicious. Great beef, bun, and seasoned fries. Mac and cheese side was good, most places I'm disappointed by Mac 'n cheese side. The Buffalo sauce was also fantastic and possibly house made. Wow wow. Sunday is bloasted chicken day and I'm guessing they sell out. read more

The food was good but the service was horrible. We saw the waiter exactly 3 times. First was to take the order. Second was to bring the food. Third was to bring the check. Never stopped by to check on us once. We ran out of water, would have also liked a second beer, but nope. When my wife asked for more water when he brought the check he refilled her glass with room temperature water no Ice. Will never be back. read more

Fun local restaurant bar with a huge amount of national fire departments represented! Great food too!

So, wasn't expecting much more than the typical bar food at the typical bar quality. I couldn't have been more wrong. Food was excellent, well seasoned with good portions. Bar staff was great; we like to sit at the bar. So far above expectations. read more

Excellent food. Summer wrap has a hint of sweetness, savoriness, light and freshness, yet fills you up. Caesar salad is perfectly dressed, with extra dressing and dip on the side. You can add chicken for $6 or salmon for $8. You cannot go wrong with the seafood chowder. Get it as a side with your entree for $5 extra. Dcfc Burger comes with two patties and is extremely juicy and worth it. Don't forget the fries on the side! read more

We enjoyed our food. Had chicken quesadillas, double cheeseburger with Mac n cheese and grilled chicken sandwich with seasoned fries. The salsa for quesadillas was better when I added tobasco but I like spicy food. All sides are extra including fries but the prices were reasonable. They were busy as all places are now and forgot our drinks but they were personable and felt bad and didn't charge for the one beer we had because it came after our food. The atmosphere is like a pub. It was clean and in a neat downtown location. They had 4 different tvs running and one was actually the food network which was AMAZING! I've never found a bar with anything other than boring stinking sports on every tv!!! Thank you for that! I'd come back just for that reason! read more
