Food is good and service is friendly. The only flaw is that the food takes a lonnnnggg time to get to you, probably due to how busy it gets but I thought it was interesting that the server took about 15-20 minutes to check in, take your order, get you the check, etc. each time. We were there for an hour and a half because it took so long for the server to come back each time. read more

Fireside Burien - Pretzel Fondue - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Burien, Washington

See all

One of my new favorites. Everything I've tried has been to my liking and things are reasonably priced here! It is a smaller joint so I do recommend reservations or getting there earlier if you're worried about finding a spot/have a bigger party. I've been for dinner time and brunch, both menus do not disappoint. I feel like this would be such a good date place or intimate dinner. Has a very casual but put together vibe. Their cocktails are made perfectly! I highly recommend their espresso martini or their mimosas during brunch. Definitely give it a try if you haven't already! They also have parking in the front which is always a plus! read more

FIRST REVIEWER FOLLOWS UP. Well, it's been a while since I was "first to review" during the post pandemic. Since that time, I have been back to the Fireside many times. It is really one of our favorite places to hang out. The staff is always friendly and attentive. We love sitting at the bar and chatting with the staff or watching sports on one of several TVs. That said, the place is not without a few issues. The bar seats are really uncomfortable. I actually have it from an unnamed source who tells me this is by design to turn over customers. Oye. The food is indeed hit or miss. I recently tried the chicken and waffles. Have you ever been to Roscoe's in LA? Then you know what excellent chicken and waffles is. This ain't it. The chicken AND the waffles were both overdone. Note to chef; "If it's anywhere past golden brown it's overdone". I do however recommend the pretzel and brats. Goes great with a brewski. OK then. I think you will have a good time at the Fireside. , but. Chicken and waffles is not their forte. Excelsior! read more

After a 12 hour shift my companion and myself searched for and drove to the nearest possible food haven that happened to be Fireside. I called ahead because it was Christmas Eve. They were open and ready to welcome us in. We arrived and were sat very quickly. At a cozy table near the fire. Upon looking around there was a definite vibe. Decorative heads of dear, The singing bass staple, there was even a twinkling small tree. Val appeared in an instant to serve us and what a wonder she was. We Ordered 2 apps and 2 entrees as well as the key lime pie. I can't report a bad combination or mal-flavored dish. Everything was fresh, seasoned and made with love. Thank you Fireside. You felt like home! read more

A Midwestern vibe, food, AND hospitality in Seattle of all places?! I came here before a flight out of SeaTac with several other Midwesterners (IL, MN and WI were all representin'). Upon entering, all the wood, taxidermy, and antique beer signage on the walls gave me goosebumps. I felt like I had immediately been transported to a Midwestern supper club--if you know, then you know. The all wood bar was absolutely gorgeous in design with underlighting. You also can't help but notice the old school beer fridge! The dining room was super cozy with booths and even a wood fireplace burning. Perfect for all occasions: a date or the family get-together. They have some truly Midwestern dishes on the menu that I was excited to see: Pretzel Fondue (paired with beer cheese and grilled kielbasa), Swedish Meatballs (tender in a creamy gravy), Cincinnati Chili (ahhh, memories of Skyline Chili!), Tater Tot Hot Dish (umm ya, a classic dish to bring to any family occasions), Ritz Cracker Crusted Pan-seared Walleye (one of the common white fish found in the Great Lakes). All that was missing were my grandparents playing board games and a crazy aunt named Kathy. Every dish we had tasted like it was made with love and fresh. Side note: I also highly recommend the Spinach Artichoke Dish! The cocktail menu also blew me away. They have many of the classic cocktails yet with a fun name and a little something-something to make it unique. I had two drinks, Magic Spa (Gin, aperitivo, lemon juice, basil syrup and smoked bitters) and the Seasonal Slushy which was fun and refreshing on a surprisingly warm Pacific Northwestern day. I wish Fireside existed when I previously resided in the area to help me deal with the Seattle Freeze. Nonetheless, I will be sure to return each and every time I visit Seattle from now on. read more

Great food, service and ambience! Was visiting family and went back a second time. Love the French onion soup and beet salad. Very warm and cozy place. Friendly, helpful staff. Will return! read more

Food is always good... we have enjoyed many offerings from the menu. Service is great. Friendly, efficient staff. Fantastic ambiance !! Cool bar area with sports on, if that is your vibe... or sit in the dining area where it is dark and cozy. Private booths and also tables in front of the fireplace. My go-to spot for a quick, casual happy hour/dinner with friends or a fun meal with out of town guests. Very family friendly, too ! read more

Excellent place! Especially the bartender, Pete... amazing guy! Friendly, helpful, super knowledgeable, but, most important, FUCKING AWESOME drinks!!!! (We had dinner there hours ago, I'm not drunk.) My husband loved his salad - who has ever said that? Only negative - not the best sandwich I've had... read more

It's my first time here and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. We went for a late nite dinner, immediately as we entered the restaurant it felt like we were transported to a cozy lodge, the ambiance was amazing considering we were just in Burien minutes from our home. The food was also amazing but i highly recommend it for the ambiance, just chill by the fireplace with a drink or 2. read more

Great atmosphere, server was so friendly and skilled, delicious food and great cocktails. Would absolutely return and have already recommended Fireside to others! read more

I had high hopes for this place due to the reviews, but dang....the food is bad. We ordered Buffalo wings, beef dip sandwich with tots, and smash burger with fries. I had the seasonal slushy as well (which was a peach bellini.) The wings and the bellini was the best things that we ordered. The wings were perfectly fried and seasoned, but had the Buffalo sauce on the side. The smashed burger patty tasted unseasoned. The fries also tasted unseasoned. My husband's beef dip was both greasy and flavorless. As was the aus jus dip that came with it. So disappointed with our experience, especially with the amount that we spent. The environment was very loud and not cozy at all like one of the reviews here mentioned. It was difficult to hear any conversation. Our server was great and attentive! read more

Service!! Rude. I have been here several times and love the food. I took my family there as I have talked up this place. The man who sat us acted the whole time like we were bothering him for walking through the door. Never once was asked if we wanted drink refills water, etc. the man that checked us in was so rude. The place when we arrived was not even busy or crowded. When asking for boxes for our leftovers he tossed them on the table at us. This was not our waiter but a very bald man he was so rude I will NEVER refer this place again. I want to be clear it was not our waiter it was a different man. If you Sir are an owner/manager please don't face patrons visiting your establishment it's not the best role for you. Simply disappointing. Mind you we spent 150.00 for our meal. Horrible. read more

Coming home from Seattle we wanted food, but outside of the tourist area. We decided on Fireside specifically due to the yelp reviews location. I had never been in Burien before. What a cozy and welcoming restaurant with clean bathrooms. Greeter was seasoned and polite. Our visitor happened to be from Ohio, so my husband (translated from OH) ordered the Cincinnati Chili. It did not disappoint. It truly lived up to the robust flavor from Ohio. Our visitor ordered the meatballs and finished her plate. I ordered the roast beef dip. FYI, the horseradish comes on the sandwich. Homemade ranch dressing was delicious and the ice tea was not. M Our visitors could not understand the Ohio food on the menu and no sweet tea. I felt bad for the waiter we got, he told us he picked up our table in the outside seating area because our server was behind and told him she'd probably forget about us. So, he did give us the TLC she could not. There was a table next to us, that the designated server failed to even greet after the host seated and left menus. Sadly, they got up and walked out after waiting for some time. Good food and don't be in a hurry. read more

The space is trendy, romantic, & laid back - easy to get to in terms of being central to Burien downtown. Came here for happy hour & had a nice time. The artichoke dip is good & wine was tasty.

This place has a decent variety of food options, though the menu isn't its main strength. The real standout is the drinks and cocktail selection. I've personally tried the Prime Rib Melt, Smashburger, Wings, and Artichoke Spinach Dip Au Gratin. While the food was good--not amazing--the Smashburger was my favorite, with the Artichoke Dip coming in close behind. Despite the food being just okay, the drinks were excellent, with several memorable specialty cocktails. It's worth a visit to check out the drink offerings, and I'll definitely be back to review their brunch! read more

First time going here, ordered chicken tender basket with an extra sauce to go, was told 10 mins. Great, got there 15 mins later, food still wasn't ready. I was asked to pay and again wanted to confirm the extra sauce as they charge you for it. Wait time was 25 mins. Chicken tender- very overdone almost burnt, super dry, close to nuggets than tenders. Sauce fairly watery... extra sauce not included but charged for even after confirming I ordered it with the person who brought me my food. Stars-0 Chance of me returning - 0 read more

I left hungry and very worried. Dine at risk. My chicken pot pie was sour, it had a sour flavor in it, and when I would talk to my server about it they refused to offer an explanation or find out how my chicken pot pie came to be sour. My server treated me like I was crazy or making things up and took it from the table and off my tab and just didn't want to talk about it any more. It was nice to see it removed from tab, but money was no longer the issue, food safety was, and he just dismissed any follow up questions about it. Are they pre-making meals and leaving them in a fridge for too long? Is their fridge not keeping food cold anymore? Do they have sous chefs going rogue and squirting lime juice into pot pies? What the heck is going on in that place? With the way they treated me and froze me out the door, I am only left to wonder. There are so many great places to dine in Burien, I am happy to strike this from my option list forever. read more

Great Atmosphere, hit and miss on food quality. The salisbury steak was mushy with a gross mushroom sauce and very hard undercooked broccolini. And no mash potatoes to go with it?!But my companion's Prime Rib melt was good. Seems Like the chef knows how to cook off a grill but not follow a recipe. Disappointing. But great funky decor. read more

Went here late at night a few weeks ago cause it was the only thing open. Not only was the ambiance so calm for a bar, but the service was amazing. We had the sweetest waitress and the food was really good. I didn't have high expectations for late night bar food but the wings, burgers, and fries were all very flavorful. They offer mixed drink and mock-tail options read more

This place popped up in our last minute search for a dinner spot, and I'm so glad we took a chance and checked it out. The croutons in the wedge salad were extra delicious, the Pretzel appetizer was practically a meal in itself (served with sausage, apple, and beer cheese), and the special - Schnitzel - featured a very crispy exterior with excellent mushroom gravy and tender pork. We decided to split everything so we can try a few dishes and we can't wait to try more. My dad is from Chicago and he'd definitely be happy eating here. Our server was very friendly and paced our order perfectly. read more

I've been in 3x now and every time has been excellent food and selection of menu options, excellent service and a cool atmosphere. I usually post pictures of the food but by the time it hits the table, I'm digging in. They have a great bar serving signature cocktails. I measure the bar by the signature cocktails they serve and Fireside Burien ranks on top. I can't wait till the next time. read more

Great to be able to enjoy happy hour in the dining room. Cocktails were exceptional, food was outstanding and service was superb. Sergio was attentive and helpful with the menu since it was our first visit. Fisherman's dinner and Fireside steak were excellent and perfectly prepared. Was disappointed that Cincinnati chili was no longer on the menu but there were lots of other very inviting options. The only negative was that they initially tried to seat us at a booth in the bar, when I come in for dinner I expect to be seating in the dining room, not the bar. read more

I've been in there two or three times with my husband and each and every time the food has been made horribly! Fish and chips overcooked and then in denial by the chef. I will say that the young lady working as a server really tried and was very apologetic and offered some good ideas for replacements. I can't think of her name but I believe it begins with the letter A. read more

Dropped off my cat to a vet and it was around 10, we were looking for a place that will open at late night. This place is the first place that popped up so we wanted to try since the food looks very appealing to us. When we first walked in, we were greeted by the hostess who was very nice and sweet with the biggest smile on her face. I'm surprised there were many people there since it's a Saturday. The decor were very unique and I wish we got to sit in front of the fire place and on the couch, but since we ordered food so it might be better to have a table instead. If you just here for drinks and have some snacks or appetizers, definitely grab the couch seat since there's only one. The food are pretty good actually for bar food and I was really surprised. The fries and wings were freshly made and they made it not greasy! Everything is so crispy. Highly recommended the wings with the red hot sauce. My prime rib melt was very tasty and I should have finished it at the restaurant instead of taking it home. I put in air fryer to reheat everything and it's not as good. Will definitely go back to this place if I'm around this area. read more

This little bar and grill, was absolutely fantastic. it is near our sons house in Burien, Washington. A drop kick and a bucket from his house, we went to the car show earlier in the day and we walked by it and my son said let's go there for dinner. We were waiting for all the cars to clear out and showed up about 6:30 PM. OH my goodness what a wonderful place. Jeremiah was our waiter and he was so freaking funny, I laughed my butt off while he took our order. This guy is sharp chatting witty. I've never laughed so hard, it was great. He sure did snap it on. I had a few drinks, and the guys did too, I had only the appetizer of steak kebabs and we had an appetizer that we all shared that was artichoke dip and it was amazing, my husband had a smash burger with grilled onions and fries and so did my son. what a great fantastic bar and grill. The staff was impeccable. doesn't matter what you were doing, everyone served you. Thanks Jeremiah, your personality rocked!! read more

Cozy midwest supper club style interior (appealing sense of home for many), the servers were friendly. We had the poke bowl, cheeseburger and side salad. The poke bowl was quite tasty, good size portion too. The burger was a bit greasy and just okay. Kale side salad was okay. The drink options were many including local beers on tap. A fair place for a sit down dinner in the area. Cheers. read more
