    Beer choices

    I have seen and heard many mixed reviews about Fire Away over the years. Having been here many times over the last 2 years, I am writing an overall post of my experiences: - Steaks, wings and seafood are always delicious. - Seasonal vegetables are a hit or miss. I got the crispy brussel sprouts and bacon and there was no crisp whatsoever and they looked steamed and were flavorless, got the stir fry vegetables and they were overcooked and not as much flavor and before trying the the asparagus and onion I had asked a customer how it was and they said it was overcooked and had woody ends. The coleslaw most times has little to no flavor. - Appetizers are very good - had the burnt ends multiple times, spiral spuds and the cheese curds which do not disappoint. - Love that they have a changing tap beer selection and can always find something good to try. The Brickfield Milk Stout was delicious! - Staff is great most of the time however there is one waitress in particular who has an attitude most often then not and comes off very rude. Her customer service could use some work. You'll know her if you get her. - When it is busy, things get chaotic and they could use some organization. Customers don't have much of an area to stand and wait, no one is at the hostess stand and people look but don't acknowledge you. A quick "we are super busy, we will be with you shortly" would go a long ways. I saw multiple parties leave because they were not acknowledged at all. Saw someone at Harvest Fest and I heard them talking about not being acknowledged at all as well and they left due to that alone. Customer service is what people remember more than the food. - I will definitely be returning but I hope that certain things change for the better for the restaurants sake. - The new waitress was amazing! I don't know her name (She had braids in her hair and was younger) but she was the sweetest thing and did a great job! She turned the experience positive. - I work with and for veterans daily and I love what I do. I appreciate their service and with this being a veteran owned company I am happy to support and hope my feedback helps.

    Smoked prime rib goodness
    Mike Z.

    Fantastic place and even better on Thursday nights when they have smoked prime rib. Great owners, great staff - and they have created a great place with really good food in the Chetek area. Supper club-type goodness in a bit more casual space than a typical supper club. If you are in the Chetek area - put this place on your list - its that good.

    Smoked prime rib, rare. Delicious!
    Amy Z.

    We've been here a few times now and everything we've ordered has been very good. Tonight they knocked it out of the park with smoked prime rib! Just the right amount of smoke (subtle) and exactly as I ordered -- rare. Server was very nice. She warned us that there would be a wait as they were short-staffed, but we said fine no problem. We just had an extra cocktail while we waited LOL. She checked back after we got our food to see if everything was OK and if we needed anything else. The place is very unassuming -- just a regular looking north woods bar -- but the food is way above the normal deep-fried everything you get elsewhere. We'll be back.

    Came here as a new resident to town if Chetek. A hidden hem that all the locals go to. Clean, inviting, awesome food plus top notch service. We like to eat at the bar as the bartender( woman with tattoos on one arm) is the best! Ordered the nightly special of 5 huge, and I mean huge, fresh broasted wings with choice of potatoes for 11.00. Light, hot crispy breading with juicy chicken inside. Great selection of beers on tap, and cocktail specials. Food came out hot and fresh with these best bourbon sauce on the side( many others to choose from) I like the garlic Parmesan sauce the best. Got a bit noisy in the bar area with kids and such, but that's Wisconsin for you. It's a family place with a family atmosphere. Friday fish fry is awesome also!!!!!

    Bbq burger

    Awesome spot in the middle of nowhere. Great for anyone who wants to camp out and get good grub. Burgers are solid. Owners seem to have a good thing going. Will definitely be back! Looking forward to when they host various events with dinner (like murder mysteries, etc)

    Wing Night!

    Local dive in Chetek with fun atmosphere and friendly staff. Be aware this is cash only bar. Have…read morefrequented this town many times as I have friends who are locals. Visited here to have lunch and ordered the "fish tacos" which was a piece of fried cod on top of a cold store tortilla with store bought slaw slopped in between. Disappointing for 11.00. Have to say the fish itself was really good though.

    Go for their Friday Fish-Fry Basket!…read more My friend and I arrived around 5:15pm on Friday. Street parking was easy. We were lucky and grabbed the last open table since we were going to order dinner. Our server greeted us promptly, handed us menus and asked for our drink order. I ordered my favorite beer on tap - New Glarus' 'Spotted Cow', opting for their 16 oz. size instead of the 22 oz., and we each ordered their two-piece fish basket with french fries. Our beers were served quickly and we waited, maybe 10 minutes for our fish baskets to arrive. Both the fish and the fries were PIPING HOT! Excellent! Along with the fish and fries, there was a small paper cup of coleslaw that was pretty tasty. The exterior of the ketchup and the tarter sauce condiment bottles on the table were really gross; seems they don't get cleaned much. But the tarter sauce was good with the hunks of perfectly fried fish (which I'll guess was Cod). The fries were the thick slabs of potato and really substantial. The meal was *very* filling. We got our check without any delay (two beers and two 2-piece fish baskets = $35) and left after paying our bill so as to free up the table for someone else.
