although the place was really quiet when we went to eat lunch, it took about 15 minutes to be seated. We are glad that we hung tough, because the food was great! We started with the green chili cheese fries, and they were so good! Packed with flavor and not so much chili that the fries were soggy, but it wasn't a meager portion either. Could have used a little bit more of the pork pieced in the green chili itself, but the appetizer was generous in portion size, so we were pleased nonetheless. i had a cobb salad, and it was rather large. i would have been fine with a half-portion, mostly bc i eat the hearty items and leave the lettuce be. hubby's burger was a sight for sore eyes and the flavor was packin. his fries were perfectly salty, cooked just right, and were so good! service was great. we weren't inundated with the how is everything? Can I get you anything else? visits, and the server was well aware of refilling drinks and dropping off the check without ado. we enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the noise level was rather low, service and order pacing was excellent, and the place was rather clean read more

Food was pretty good and price reasonable for Colorado. Ambiance is intimate with low lighting and comfortable booths. Service is a hit or miss. Our male server wasn't welcoming, attentive or friendly. However, the table next door had a female server who was all of the above. So according to the section you are seated in, your experience may vary :) read more

Rahul was attentive and kind. The food was excellent and very reasonable priced for a resort. Definitely get the sweet potato fries!

Great ambience. Quick service. Quality drip coffee. Music in the air. I got a simple breakfast with side of biscuits and gravy. 6 dollars for a biscuit and a cup of gravy. Tasty but expensive. That's where the praise ends. I witnessed 3 people send their orders back for being too cold, undercooked etc. The food was sub par. I ate there twice but it was the only early morning option at Ameristar Black Hawk. Staff were friendly, Joseph, and helpful. But other staff seemed to bemoan their jobs. Seemed a little under staffed. There was a robot that was entertaining. It delivers food to tables with limited success. Minding that robot has to be a pain. The Americano seemed to be Folgers instant. Same flavor. Nothing espresso about it. Sadly, one of the only options. It suffices in the food desert. Room for improvement. Try it and see for yourself. You'll be glad you did. read more

We stayed at the Ameristar for 6 days so we ate at this restaurant 4 times. The food was always excellent but the service was very substandard. From the length of time it takes the receptionist to seat you to the time it takes a person to wait on you. The waiters/waitress never return to your table to check your drinks or to check and see if your order was correct. My wife's hamburger was undercooked which would not have been a big deal but they never returned to make it right. Much room for improvement. It appears they may be understaffed. The ambience was nice but not nice enough for how long we were in the restaurant due to slow service. read more

Food was good and the service decent. My wife got the chicken pot pie and it wasn't very good, the flaky dough was really tough and it had way too much much of one seasoning (thyme maybe), it was really strong. I got the Spicy Filipino Adobo Chicken Sandwich and sweet potato fries, I really enjoyed my meal. The restaurant was located in the Ameristar Casino on the second floor. The restaurant was clean and the service was good. read more

If we could do 1/2's this would be 3.5. We had the Adobo Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was extremely juicy. It says hot, and it was very spicy hot. And it was very flavorful. The sweet potato fries and the regular fries were really good. The regular fries were so fresh. The Bacon Chicken Ranch sandwich is a signature item for them and it was underwhelming. It tasted completely cold from the first bite. Even with cold ingredients the chicken should have been hot enough to melt some of the cheese. They have lots of great items on their menu, would still be worth trying something else. read more

Fireside Kitchen - Adobo Chicken Sandwich w/ Sweet Potato Fries - Diners Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

My hubs and I checked the online menu. Under all day menu under sweet stuff it names all of the desserts on their regular menu. So my hubs stopped in to grab the Brookfield dessert and they said since it was 5 til 10 we could only order coconut cake or cheesecake. I am disappointed that the menu online is so misleading. He would have gone earlier had we known their in house menu differs from the one posted online. I even searched "menu for June 2026" for the most u to date info. Since I am avoiding cheese, the cake with mascarpone frosting and the cheesecake are not acceptable. We are super disappointed. read more

horrible customer service guy didn't understand anything I ordered a they gave me medium rare horrible would never try

The worst service and food.....so slow, gross food, yuck! I would say go somewhere else. But it the only place open on weekdays in the entire massive resort except for a ramen place. You can't even buy a candy bar or drink in the casino or hotel. I ordered steak, fries and a Diet Coke from the extreme rude water. He slammed everything on the table the entire time, never brought the coke, never checked back. I don't know what his problem was. My wife ordered grilled salmon. My steak was ordered medium rare. It came well done plus. I didn't send it back because it already took 30-40 minutes to get our food and I just gave up and forced the tough piece of meat down. My wife's salmon was over 50% skin. And tasted gross. She left hers...she couldn't force it down. Paid my bill, no tip (first time I have done this in many years) Other guests/victims were complaining and doing the same. We went to our room and eat airport candy we had packed for our trip. This is half the fault of the restaurant.... Half the resort....seriously there isn't even a gift shop, convenience store in this massive place. First time I have seen a hotel without an overpriced mini bar. Don't come to the Ameristar if you plan on consuming any nourishments during your stay and definitely don't eat at this poo hole! read more

For the resort itself being average this place was a little step up for sure. Nice ambiance and the food was good. We got the chicken wrap and the fish tacos. Just glad they were open when we wanted to eat - most places in the resort had annoying open times. Also they had the good ranch! read more

It seems our experience differs greatly from most other people. The Denver omelette was cooked just right, as was the farmer's omelette. The oatmeal was excellent. Staff was friendly and attentive. We wore a little apprehensive based upon all the other reviews, but our experience is definitely different than most of them. Hope this place improves so other people can say the same things I just did. read more

I was hoping for better from Fireside Kitchen. The ambience was good. I like the vibe, I like the fires burning in various areas of the casino leading up this restaurant. The server and the host were both friendly, pleasant, and attentive. The food did not meet expectations. I ordered the Prime Rib (Friday and Saturday nights only). I don't think I've had a more bland Prime Rib experience. The cut was decent but the seasoning I usually associate with a Prime Rib were missing. It tasted very sous vide with a finish on the grille. My husband had the chicken pot pie and he said it was the worst pot pie he's ever had. He said his entire meal was very "Sysco" and had no resemblance of anything other than heat and serve. Nothing was cooked from scratch. The soup of the day, a chicken meatball soup. had plenty of meatballs but was really salty. Two stars for our server Juan who was very cordial and pleasant throughout the entire experience. The food did not meet expectations. read more

While visiting Central City and Black Hawk yesterday I took a late lunch break on such a beautiful day. I was in Ameristar Casino when I found Fireside Kitchen on the upper level. The young man who seated me was friendly and polite. It didn't take long for me to get seated. Fortunately, the restaurant wasn't that busy when I visited. I love the fireplace near the front entrance of the restaurant. It's very appealing as you're standing in the doorway and after entering. I was seated in a booth which is always a preference of mine. My waitress was professional and friendly. I like that she wasn't overly friendly or too personable. She took my drink order and was ready to go for my main entree order. I ordered the Fish & Chips. It comes with standard French Fries and not traditional chips. That's okay though! I LOVED the dipping sauce (Cajun remoulade) that comes with the meal. It was so good that I ordered another side of it! The fish was great! It wasn't under or over cooked. I was also impressed with the quality of fish. It didn't taste like frozen or processed fish. My only feedback for this meal would be to serve the tartar sauce in a small cup like the Cajun remoulade and not packets of it. This also makes for a better presentation. I would definitely dine here again for lunch or dinner. I will be sure to keep this in my mind when I'm visiting Black Hawk again. I recommend Fireside Kitchen for a quality bite to eat with family or friends. Enjoy! read more

Me and my girlfriend went to the casino to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We got hungry and stopped in at Fireside. We got Toni as our waitress. Toni made our night. She was cracking jokes with us all night and she had an amazing attitude. When me and my girlfriend ever go back and we dont get sat with Toni, we will walk out. We don't want any other waitress. I would give her a 10 star review if I could. Not saying the other servers are not good, but Toni wipes the floor with them. Give that girl a raise and more hours. read more

Yoseff was an amazing host, very charismatic and enjoyable and made sure we had a great meal and time! Misty was amazing and the steaks were

We've eaten here a few times before and have never had a bad experience. The Fireside Kitchen offers delicious (albeit slightly expensive) food options for all different kinds of palates. From the more expensive taste (steak frites) to the classic down to earth Fireside Burger, you're sure to find something that can satisfy your cravings after a long day of gambling. Wait times can get long, so make sure to get there early or during off times if you don't want to be waiting for a table. read more

The cheeseburger was really good, but overcooked it a bit. The spicy chicken sandwich wasn't good at all and tasted like soy sauce. Service was a bit slow, but food came out quick once sat. Quiet place at nighttime. read more

Come up to the mountains and be prepared for over priced drinks and meals. By far the worst experience I've had short of Casa Bonita in the region. Funny how Colorado has these kind of low quality incredibly high priced restaurants but I have to say Denver is not a city known for its food, but maybe with all the implants coming from LA County and ruining this beautiful city we will see something good come from it. Prime Rib $30 and looks and tastes worse than a Sams Club cut, and it came to us cold. They attempted to make it right but my food was already done so we took photos instead. I'm aware fat is typical of the experience but look at the volume there. 3/10 Artichoke Dip Very good and surprisingly there is enough chips to finish this off. Had better, but this is a solid investment for Mountain pricing. 6.5/10 Spicy filipino Adobo Sandwich The Sandwich was flooded with a Nashville hot experience but was poorly balanced. It looked amazing but was just hot and I couldn't finish it, and a woman sitting next to us said it tasted nothing like anything she ever ate growing up. It just tasted like the 1 chip challenge and screamed of chemicals. .5/10 I highly advise running away from this restaurant. The staff is nice, but you can be nice and be bad at making food. It's over, the count is out! I still want a refund! read more

Came here for dinner with gfs. Wait was so long and sucks that places are still understaffed. Aside from slow service, food was pretty good. I ordered the pasta carbonara with shrimp. The pasta was freshly made and was very delicious. No complaints when it comes to the food. Service was not up to par. Don't come up to Blackhawk much so won't be dealing with miserable service. Food wise, this place is good. Just got to have the patience. read more

Slow service, cold food, too pricy for what you get. Had green chili wasn't warm enough. Topped with shredded cheese which didn't melt. Ordered chicken Parmesan came with barely warm old spaghetti. Not sure why but there were 2 stems of asparagus and one sad carrot on plate with spaghetti Seems unorganized and mismanaged. read more

We went for dinner and were seated promptly. The ambiance was nice but the food is lacking. One person ordered a taco salad and the meat was cold. Another person in my group ordered the pasta and added chicken. There were so many bones left on the chicken that it was difficult to eat the pasta without getting a bone. Someone else in my group ordered the steak and it was extremely tough. The best item we had there was the Buffalo chicken wings. I would suggest to go elsewhere rather than this place. read more

The entire staff was tweaking, the eggs were wet and runny, and the water glasses were crusty. Just go to Starbucks instead.

We waited for over half an hour to be seated. The place wasn't even busy. Roughly half of the tables were empty. Took a long for someone to take our order. He was grouchy. Took another 22 minutes for our food to arrive. We come here on a fairly regular basis. We've seen a major decline in service, portion sizes getting smaller while prices increase and quality has suffered. Sorry but never again. It's fun to watch the robot waiters get stuck, but my whole group says no more. read more

Located upstairs inside of the Ameristar. It offers better value compared to timberline steakhouse downstairs. Although the menu choice is limited the Steak & Frites is on point. The sweet potato fries are crispy and fresh. Very cozy booth seating away from the slot machine noise. What is life if not a gamble? read more

Food was subpar. We ordered their breakfast hangover skillet and it was literally a soup. We should've listened to the 2.5 star rating. Service was great and attentive so I'll give them that, but totally don't expect great food. read more

A good breakfast spot with nice early hours. If you don't get there early, there'll be a wait, but they'll text you when your table is ready so you can go do other things. Food options are somewhat better than your average breakfast fare - I like the Eggs Benedict, but my favorite is the Smoked Salmon Breakfast Toast. Service is good and prices aren't bad. Really, it's the best breakfast spot from Black Hawk to Nederland. Recommended. read more

The FIRESIDE KITCHEN, one of the Ameristar (Blackhawk, CO) casino's restaurant concepts is a contemporary american eatery located on the deck above the gaming floor, and... is not bad. Not mindblowing mind you, but it isn't trying to be. For my money, consistency, reliability are in situations like this, more compelling than culinary feats of legerdemain. This place has become an irregular sunday breakfast spot when neither of us want to cook or go into Nederland, CO (The same drive time in the opposite direction) to risk botulism and/ disappointment. It's totally fine/ OK food that (thus far) hasn't really disappointed. We've got a groove for this: get our table reserved. Get a out a fiver each and play video poker at the bar to get the free irish coffees, wait for the buzz from the host, eat, leave. It works. read more

If you have been gambling for quite some time, just realized you were hungry and too lazy to leave the casino then this is an okay option. There was a short wait to be seated which was expected definitely since there limited seats due to COVID. Our waiter was nice and helpful. Unfortunately, they were sold out of a couple of things on the menu which limited our options. I ended up ordering a salad and fries which were okay. Prices were reasonable for what we received. read more

Really the only reasonably priced sit-down place around. Plan to wait! 15 minutes to an hour for sure. Very limited capacity. They will take your number and will text you when your table is ready so you can go gamble for a few. Limited menu but there seems to be something on there for everyone. They open at 7am which I love because there isn't much in Blackhawk to choose from at that hour, so thank you. My food was above average and pretty reasonably priced. $12.00 for eggs benedict. The biscuits and gravy were good. The sauce was different but excellent in my onion. A great place to eat, but like I say, plan on a wait. read more

Fireside Kitchen - Burger with egg bacon - Diners Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

The hostesses were having a non-work related conversation about their weekend and they made us wait until they finished talking before they acknowledged our presence. I added chicken to my pasta, but it came out cold and dry. I would have liked to tell my server about it, but Jade never came back after the food was delivered. When she finally came around with our check, she told us she couldn't split the ticket between us and the other couple with us. She said the only way they could do that is to split it 50/50 even though we didn't have nearly as much ordered as the other couple. I was in the service industry from the age of 16-24 and I have never heard of such a ridiculous policy. I honestly think she made it up so she wouldn't have to do the work of splitting it. read more
