    The Gridley
    Rob G.

    This review could be between 2 and 4. The prices were reasonable and the service was very, very good. I ordered "The Gridley" sandwich. I asked if it could be served with pastrami instead of the Brisket. They said no. This is annoying since it would take absolutely no extra work. Both are already cooked and just need to be thrown on the grill. Pastrami is just brisket that is cured and uses a different spice rub. The sandwich was a bit disappointing. I like a strong smoke flavor but it overpowered all the ingredients, so I feel like I would have had the same experience with a plain brisket sandwich. The Brisket itself is very tasty and I love the sauce selection. The pickles are very tasty and mild. I have had better meals here but based on this experience alone, I was disappointed.

    Stopped here for lunch after a morning at the park and it hit the spot. The BBQ was delicious, portions were generous, and service was friendly. It's the kind of place that works well for families but would also be a great casual stop with friends. We'll definitely be back!

    Great spot for lunch, quick dinner or a drink. Very friendly staff , nice clean environment, and fresh ingredients BBQ is smoked on site (smokehouse beind the restaurant) and they have a great selection of homemade sauces Generous portions! What we ate: Brisket sandwhich and coleslaw Grainbowl with smoked chicken, barley, greens, coleslaw, soupbeans and pickles. Loved my grain bowl - it seemed like an odd mix of ingredients yet it worked and was delicous! Homemade pickles were great too! The table next to us had the chichen salad sandwhich and it looked amazing (I know what Im trying next time) Big patio area and live music on the weekends My rating rationale  +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    Pulled Pork with Appalachian Beans and Collard Greens
    David H.

    I wasn't sure what to expect since this place is in the end of an office park type area but once again Yelp didn't fail me. They weren't crowded on a weekday mid-afternoon and have seating inside and outside on the patio. They also have a bar inside and a sign mentioned live music on Friday and Saturday nights We sat inside and service was fast and very friendly. Food was the best BBQ I've had in quite a while. I was hungry after hiking part of the Western MD Rail Train and portions were so large I barely finished my meal. The tasty pulled pork wasn't fatty and had an interesting seasoning on top which I enjoyed. They have a bunch of different BBQ sauces and I enjoyed them all but liked their original sauce the best with its cumin flavor. The Appalachian beans were something unique I haven't seen elsewhere and the collard greens tasted freshly made. I enjoyed both sides and also liked their 1/2 sweet 1/2 unsweet tea. I didn't see ribs on the menu so not sure if they don't serve them at all or just didn't have any this day. I was too full for dessert but had a butter scotch pudding to go and enjoyed that later that evening. I'd back here for sure if I was in the area and looking for tasty BBQ.

    The Gridley and pork rinds

    Food was wonderful, I was really wanting to try the Ruben but they were out, so I had the Gridley (brisket), hubs had the pulled pork. He said the pulled pork had a great flavor.

    Firebox 55 has spot on customer service due to friendly, knowledgeable servers. We enjoyed a nice conversation with the server who helped us decide what we should have to eat. We chose the Buffalo chicken salad with fries, and the Gridley with sweet potato fries, both of which arrived, loaded to the hilt with fresh ingredients, topped off with hot fries and a six pack of sauces that we could use to enjoy with the meal. The Gridley came with smoked brisket and charred pepper, relish, aged provolone, a roast garlic, horsed mayonnaise, crispy onions on a nicely toasted hoagie roll . Smoked buffalo chicken salad was excellent. Served up with blue cheese, aïoli lettuce, tomato onion on a nicely toasted brioche bun. The coleslaw with both meals was perfect, which is the right amount of sweetness and creamy celery seed dressing, mixed in with green cabbage and carrots. I also ordered an extra side of the collard green, serve with bacon, onions, brown sugar, and cider vinegar, and they were absolutely fantastic. The food was fantastic, the service exceptional and atmosphere very laid back. Clean operation from the tables to the bathrooms! Highly recommended!

I'm a HUGE lover of soul food/fried . Overall, a really great experience, the food was great but the family feel and nice staff stood out to me. It's definitely one of those places you can visit and they will get to know you I got the 4 piece wing that came with two sides. The chicken was super light and airy, but had tons of flavor. I hate when fried chicken is bland, and this definitely was not. The chicken and breading both had a really great taste the greens were perfect. She uses turkey meat to enhance the flavor, and I couldn't stop eating them. the Mac and cheese almost took me out. I love love love baked Mac and cheese, and this one was perfect. Almost a sponge like texture but still creamy and cheesy! Def tops my list of Mac and cheeses I've had. finished it off with some cornbread. Dry cornbread is the worst, or when it's too flaky. This was the perfect medium between moist, but also held its shape. Everything is made from scratch, so depending on when you arrive it could take a little to get your food. I personally didn't mind since I got the taste the chicken right out of the fryer I'll def be coming back as they serve breakfast all day, and the chicken and waffles are calling my name if you're looking for soul food or a diner experience, def add this one to the top of your list.

I was sad to hear they only serve chicken and waffles at breakfast. WHYYY??!!! Please add this to lunch and dinner. Our waitress was on point. Super friendly and refilled the sweet tea before it got halfway. I ordered the famous fried chicken and was pretty happy with the food. The baked potato was fine, it was just on the smaller size (4inches long it was literally the length of my size 6 lady finger). Mac and cheese was good, It did have some black spots but I chalk it up to coming in a 730pm. The roll was bland would not recommend. My fiance ordered the BBQ sandwich and onion rings. He is particular and was also very happy with his food. The other thing I would say is consider changing the hours. Closing at 8pm is insane, at least 4 tables arrived at 745pm! I say this because I know the competition is Martinsburg Family and that is open 24/7 I would reconsider the hours. I'm certain since the food was good you could justify a 10pm closure time but I'm just giving an opinion. I'd still go back.
