Fire Bar & Grill is a straightforward sports bar that does what you'd expect it to do. The food is decent, the drinks flow, and the crowd brings a fun, energetic vibe that often carries the experience. There's nothing especially groundbreaking coming from the kitchen, but not every place needs to be. Sometimes a lively room, a game on, and a solid meal are enough. read more

Beware of their tipping scam. Had automatic 20% gratuity added on to our bills. When mine came back, noticed it was significantly more than 20%: (31%...). Server and the manager both argued with me about the bill being correct. Finally the manager went to the "owner in the back", and he agreed with me. So I'm still waiting to see that incorrect charge fall off. Terrible customer service and big scam! Check your bills! read more

Fire Bar and Grill - Receipt with tipping scam - Sports Bars Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

This location was packed on Friday night for the final four basketball game. Lots of groups having fun. We got a table and ordered drinks but our server got a huge table and we had trouble getting her back to take our order. We got a meatball appetizer (delicious) and split the whiskey burger (cooked perfectly!). The fries were great, too. The old fashioned cocktails were small (but strong) and I would go back on another night to try more menu items. read more

We ordered Fire Bar & Grill on DoorDash after a long flight into Chicago, and it was too late to drive somewhere. We ordered a variety of items such as Potato Skins, a Chicken Pita for my Dad, and a Chicken Tender Wrap for myself (with an order of soup). The food just wasn't very good! It wasn't the worst I've ever had, but I was shocked by the reviews claiming it was amazing. Definitely not what we got! The Potato Skins were dry, chalky and bland. Both the pita and wrap were also bland and dry. The soup was an unknown white soup with a gelatinous texture, not very appetizing. I'm giving 2 stars because I have had worse food and it could have been an off day, but I wouldn't order from here again. read more

Went out for a burger. Not sure where to go. Thought let's try Fire Bar. Should have just gone to Portillo's. Burger looked like a frozen burger patty. It was dry , lacked flavor and the cheese almost nonexistent. Won't go back. I'll go to Portillo's instead. Service was just okay. read more

I have been to Fire Bar a few times now. The bar is nicely decorated, there is an ample bar area and I found that both the bartenders were friendly and attentive. The watermelon margarita with watermelon purée was fresh, delicious and reasonably priced at $8.00. Last night their special was a steak or chicken kebab which was very good and the rice had the perfect amount of seasoning. I will definitely be back (and definitely for their watermelon margarita). read more

We regularly go here. Food is good and service is good. So we decided to plan a group party. We worked with them and had a room and a menu set. When we got there we didn't have a room and were on the bar. Would have been ok but we had presentations, games and conversations that needed a private room that they had promised. It didn't happen and we all had to shout just to converse. We''ll never have a group here again as they didn't do what they promised. However, destiny, our waitress was amazing! The solarium was what we were told and that would have been fine read more

Great food! We had Dough-nuggets- yummy and Chicken Caesar salad. Also love their pizza! Fun atmosphere! read more

I've had enough - I've eaten here dozens of times because my wife likes one specific thing on the menu and never strays. We use DoorDash exclusively. I've had several items on this menu, fishing for something, anything I might like, from Pizza to meatball apps, to Potato skins, cheese sticks, shrimp, chicken, burgers, etc, and all of it is just... not very appetizing. Potato skins have always been VERY well done / borderline burned and almost too hard to chew, Fries are often soggy and soaking with grease, when they aren't, they are cold and hard. Cheese sticks are never melted, and the coating is..odd. Very thick and not in a good way. Their dipping sauce / Pizza sauce is not good. Chicken is deep-fried to death, always tough and dry. Shrimp has been inconsistent. I had it once and was like FINALLY something I can eat! The next time? it was Hard as rocks. Same with the 3 meatball app with vodka sauce - Sometimes it's ok, other times its a mess. The burgers are tasteless and bland. These things are void of salt? pepper? char? I mean anything would be an improvement. These are pale, undercooked tasteless burgers. I got the BEC last night, and the egg that came on it was raw inside of a paper-thin white casing. Lots of clear white liquid soaking the whole thing, coupled with the undercooked meat? I tossed it halfway through - and I'm a burger lover, I couldn't get through half of it, and I was hungry. Step up your food game, guys. You are wildly popular. I live within eyeshot of the place, and it's always packed. I know it's just "bar food" but you gotta do better. I cringe every time my wife craves this place. You'd think, being a block away with DoorDash, the food would be fresh as can be - it's generally not. read more

We ordered take out on a weekday evening. It was easy to find parking in the area, and it looks like their patio is under construction. The food was ready quickly after ordering. The serving sizes were large and for a good price. My favorite was the Whiskey Burger, great flavor and good portion size! We will definitely be back to try the food again. read more

This place is in "our neighborhood" and has always been a favorite that I've probably always taken for granted. We went tonight for a fundraiser for a little boy named Levi. From the time we placed our order via phone for carry out to the time I walked out the door with my food, all employees were friendly & happy. Everything we got was delicious and enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Potato skins, chicken kabobs (my favorite go to) & the grilled chicken sandwich were so good & tender - cooked to perfection! I especially loved the fact that the flyer for Levi was enclosed with our package of food. Love that this favorite neighborhood restaurant is supporting this little boy. If you are in the area - or just make a special trip to support Levi - September 26 to 29th, 2022. Thank you Fire Bar! We will return! read more

I wish I could give 3.5 stars but can't do I went with 4 because of the service. We came today as we needed to be out of our house for a while and we went with the Santa Fe Egg Rolls and two Smothered Chicken Burritos. The Santa Fe Egg Rolls are delicious and I would give them 4 stars; they were really good but not amazing. The burrito was good but not great; compared to their pizza the burrito takes a distant second place (I have only had those two meals). I like their revolving menu for drinks: today was Absolute Mixers for $5 each. I'm not a huge Vodka fan (prefer whiskey, especially bourbon) but they were reasonable in price. Server (Nicholas) was really personable, attentive, and made good recommendations. My wife doesn't love this place but I like it a lot: lots of TV with sports, good food, solid drinks, and very good service. You can spend hours here and no one is trying to run you out the door. read more

Used to come here a lot but kind of forgot about this place. Was here over the weekend and wanted to put in my two cents. Lots of TVs for watching your favorite teams play, cool bar atmosphere. There were four of us and we ordered a variety of things. Service was great and so was all of the food. I forgot how good the pizza was here. Gotta remember to keep this on my list of regular spots. read more

Walked in there with my family of four, my wonderful wife, my 4 year old son and my 15 year old son. Sat us down which seemed to be a table that is entirely too small for a family of four. We started the night off with some nachos and 3 cherry cokes for my older son, my wife and myself. Which seemed confusing for the waiter, to add grenadine to the coke, (this is a bar, that most likely has grenadine) after walking him through this, we got our cherry cokes and all was well with our world. Then we ordered an appetizer, the "loaded" nachos, where it said in the description of the product (add steak for 4 dollars or add chicken for 3 dollars) ok then, well surely the LOADED nacho platter comes LOADED right? Nah, wrong, does not come with ground beef, has everything else, guacamole, cheese, tomato, you know what I mean, but meat? I guess that's not part of the LOADED description of the nachos, no ground beef, if you want any sort of meat, you need to add 4 or 3 dollars for chicken or steak. Which in my opinion, is insane when you call something loaded lol, it should come with ground beef, with the option of upgrading to steak or chicken. To top it all off adding steak is almost half the cost of what the nachos cost which also makes zero sense to me either. Let's get to the main entrees, my wife and me got burgers, my son a chicken sandwich and my 4 year old son some chicken tenders. The food I have nothing to complain about, fries were good, burgers were damn good I have to say, and my son's chicken sandwich was eaten in about 3 minutes so I have to figure he liked the chicken sandwich. We had dipping sauces with my son's chicken tenders, they offered barbecue sauce, ranch and honey mustard... HERE IS THE ABSURD PART ABOUT THIS!!!!!! ***** THEY CHARGE YOU FOR EACH DIPPING SAUCE***** .75 cents for each measly cup of dipping sauce you get from them. WOW what an insult to the customers of this place. My 4 year old wanted one of each of the sauces, that is not too much to ask for spending 90 dollars at a restaurant, NOPE NOT MUCH AT ALL TO ASK FOR 3 DIPPING SAUCES, NO NO NO, THEY HAVE TO CHARGE YOU FOR EACH CUP YOU ASK FOR, HOW PETTY CAN YOU BE? WHAT WORLD DO WE LIVE IN? when you get chicken tenders, the dipping sauces are required, they are something you expect, AND YOU CHARGE FOR EACH ONE LMAO..... LIKE SPENDING 90 DOLLARS ISNT ENOUGH, YOU HAVE TO NICKEL AND DIME YOUR CUSTOMERS TO WHERE THEY DONT COME BACK.... The service, was less than sub par, long wait times, no napkins or utensils given to us with our food, refills took a long time, AND THE NICKEL AND DIME BUSINESS APPROACH IS LONG OUTDATED AND WRONG. We will not be coming back ever, you can keep your sauces for 75 cents a piece that are required for chicken tenders.... First and last time we come there. Not to mention the people near us, were sat down, and asked to move by the wait staff to accommodate for a bigger party lol. Don't even have your planning right, you have to move your customers as soon as you seat them. 2 stars because the food was decent.. that is it. read more

So I am cashing out with my credit card and signing the tab while waiting for my uber and look at the total thinking one or two drinks missing from the total but not sure with the specials, and when another bar tender collects the bill I see him go up to the server and then the original server comes up to me and says that my credit card didnt athorize the total needed. I asked did it not authorize the total or did you not enter the correct amount and she replies oh it is your card that is the problem; I then run the additional amount and it goes through, so I ask again what did you enter and she replied the correct amount, so I asked why the receipt showed the amount authorized and requested, she tried to tell me it is your card that is the problem. I replied really so it is my fault not your error. The card went through for the extra charges so I asked why was that? Don't blame the customer for your mistake. read more

This place is an awesome local establishment. Cool vibe on weekend nights. The food is excellent. You can't order anything that isn't delicious. The service is a little slow cause it's always so busy. They need more servers. Overall a great place to have some food and drinks read more

This is the worse place ever for drinks on a Friday! Ignorant people just standing around that disregard personal space and shove you and block you from getting drinks. We wanted to order food but the wait staff never gave us a menu or attended to us. I had to get bus service to grab a bartender to grab us drinks and to close us out. Never again! read more

Ordered delivery through GrubHub. (The usual issues with GrubHub do not affect this rating) Chopped salad and 14" Veggie Pizza (thin crust). They gave me 1000 Island dressing instead of the Italian it is supposed to have. I have no other dressing at home, nor should it be my responsibility to provide dressing for something I order from a restaurant. Can't eat the salad. Threw it out. Thanks for wasting my money, Fire Bar. Pizza is ok. Nothing special. Thin crust is a bit thick for my liking. This is NOT a Chicago-style thin crust as I thought it might be. Based on one prior dining experience in their bar (inattentive service by their bartenders staff on a mediocre Wednesday night), I probably won't return. read more

This place is super good. It has great seating, several TV's with all the games, and amazing food. The service was okay towards the end - our waitress was taking a bit long to give us our check because she was talking with a coworker but other than that, it was great. We had a coupon for our food so it was a total of $27. A lot of food for just that amount too. Other places are so much more expensive. read more

Fire Bar is decent. They have a lot of TVs and sometimes have live music. Good drink specials. I actually do really like their pizza. Their rice is amazing. We ordered the large order of steak/chicken kabobs with rice and it was HUGE!! (see photo). The meat was so tender and well seasoned. I also really like their wraps. All in all, I would recommend Fire Bar. read more

This was our go to place, until today! Service has always been just okay but that seems to be the norm now. The real problem was the manager! My daughter is picky. Ordered the Hawaiian pizza but instead of Canadian bacon wanted onion. Waitress said it wasn't a problem. Until I got the bill! Charged me an extra $1.50 for onions. It wasn't the cost as the principal. No one told be there was an extra charge- I actually saved them money. Onions instead of the meat! Spoke to the manager- could've cared less. Stated that was policy. My policy is great customer service which Fire Bar doesn't have! Edit- we ordered a small pizza which Was Not half off! If it was supposed to be then I was truly overcharged! read more
