This is place is awesome. From good food to watching people wipe out, it is always a good time. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - Located next to Scheels at Grandscape, it has a great indoor and outdoor appeal. There is a surfing area, and in the Spring/Summer, it gives a nice breeze. Staff - 5/5 - Friendly and attentive. Was sitting outside and made sure that we were taken care of. Food/Drink - Ordered the following: Fireside Sliders - 5/5 - The gouda on these bad boys are great. Highly recommend. Flatbread - 4/5 - Nothing too special, but great for the kiddos. Duck Duck Burger - 5/5 - The DUCK bacon on this burger is EXCELLENT, in addition to the burger itself. Highly recommend. They have a decent Happy Hour menu for food and drinks. Overall, I really enjoy the place, the prices for both dinner and HH is great, and will definitely be back. read more

We ate here last weekend on a beautiful sunny afternoon. There are two different areas to sit upstairs at the bar and then downstairs along the water's patio. The upstairs overlooks the surfing area and it took us away from feeling like we were in the colony. So, as far as a scenic overlook goes, it is unique in the north Texas area. For food, we tried a couple of different things, and the menu is definitely a step above your normal bar food or even casual restaurant food. The beat hummus was great, the assortment of veggies was unique and not the norm, and the pita bread was warm and fresh. We also ordered the fig pizza, which was delicious. Since we were there for cocktails, we kept things light, so we all split the venison tacos, which come two to a serving. They were a little light as an entrée, but we were there for the cocktails, right? So, five stars for the food, creativity, presentation, and options. They have a pretty big drink menu and options for beers. I would probably recommend that they look into their tap refrigerator because it's going to get a workout during the summer months. I like my beer really cold, and it could've used few degrees less when served in plastic glasses. I would also tell the staff to remind guests not to touch the bottom of the glass because it uses the tap and keg system where it fills the glass from the bottom I accidentally put my fingerinto the where the plug is and it dumped beer all over the table - rookie mistake! My only advice would be to consider the weather when you go. The upstairs does have some tables with gas fire pits and some heaters above; however, if you're sitting out around the edge, which we were, you may want to consider something to wear when the sun goes down on the cooler. Likewise, if you're out there during the middle of the summer, you might want to bring a hat, as those outdoor edges did not have umbrellas. I'm sure this place will be hopping now that the weather has turned nice. Regarding bathrooms, the upstairs patio has a shared one-seater, which seems to be a little bit of an afterthought as there is probably seating for about 30 people up there. We eventually found the larger bathrooms, which are down on the deck by the water, and the locker rooms, where people change to get into their swimwear. I would definitely recommend going down there if you're sitting upstairs. We meet one of the owners. He's a special forces ranger from Hawaii. Being a veteran myself, we enjoyed a little military talk. read more

It's super fun and great experience. But couple of thing to follow. When they just open, everything was very organized, the trainer paid more attention and people line up in sequence every session. But later on in the summer, when more expert came, they start to jump in the water whenever they want and break the line. I think they should have more different session, not just 1st time and all levers, but separate 1st time, beginner, all level and expert. Also when the session (40 min) has more than 4 people it start to be not worth the money you pay. Think about it, you are basically paying $80 for less than 10 min, if you actually have it eq between player read more

You have to love a good surf venue when you are hundreds to thousand of miles from the coast. I have been to the venue several times to surf and it is a new challenge to master and it is going slowly but practice makes perfect. For food I have had the Breakfast Burrito twice. The fruit cup as the side is full of more exotic fruits like kiwi or passion fruit and apples and blueberries and strawberries. It is really great unique fruits and one of the best fruit sides i have had. The burrito is packed full of meat and other ingredients like guacamole. I would say while it is a small full burrito it packs a lot of flavor. I did attend the tidal wave Tuesday and they were serving pancakes and they were so good everyone i have been back i ask my same waitress if i can get the pancakes off menu. The pancakes were really flavorful and perfect. In the top 5 of pancakes and then add in the brûléed bananas on top and it was a huge win and will have to go back on weekend brunch to get them again! You should definitely go for the food and stay to watch people wipe out while learning to surf. Your own surfing results will vary but suggest you try it. read more

We stopped in for a drink and light meal after seeing a movie at Galaxy theatre. We ordered a Kona Big Wave because it felt weird not to while watching surfing on the FlowRider. We also ordered: 1. Brussels and shishito peppers: good flavor and the Fresno peppers added were the perfect amount of spice. 2. Vegan Buddha bowl: colorful and flavorful. We are looking forward to getting this again. We also added the honey glazed tofu, which we would not choose again as the flavors didn't agree with our palate. Done whip: absolute great choice, will be getting this every time we stop in. The service was really good and prompt, but we did at an off time. Atmosphere was fun and beachy, exactly what one expects in a beach town or island locale while surfing. read more

Initially, I was displeased when they served me a Mai Tai with tequila and instead of rum. However, they replaced my drink with a new drink and I'm all smiles. The Burger was delicious and the fish on the tacos were fresh. Food was perfect. We will definitely be back and will be taking our CA visitors here. Well done Fireside Surf. read more

The food? Absolutely amazing. The concept? So cool! The atmosphere? So chill. Love the tropical vibes with the reggae music and island-influenced silverware. The only downside was the absurdly slow service. Our server did not check on us, and it took 15 minutes to even be greeted. We had been there for an hour and 10 minutes by the time we got our food, which was rough considering we had two young children in tow. Even if the kitchen was behind, it would've been courteous for the server to relay that information and keep us in the loop. Our waters were never refilled, kids drinks were never refilled, etc. Server was pleasant, just a little too on "island time." read more

Cool place to people watch. Specifically for the people doing the surfing. We went here an a nice afternoon. The staff is friendly and helpful! Tge food and drinks are excellent read more

Outstanding everything...go, you can't go wrong! The small staff works hard...wait times might be a little long, but that's because they don't serve bar food. They have an incredible menu that fits well with the resort-like atmosphere. So fun to watch new surfers stoked to successfully navigate their first waves and experienced surfers rip back and forth effortlessly. I've never seen surfing from this close before and it gives me confidence that I might be able to learn! My favorite dish was the Tropical Tuna Poke Bowl...SOOOO fresh and delicious. I tried the Buenaveza on draft...haven't seen it anywhere else and it might be my new favorite beer! We are headed back Friday for the after dark thing with the DJ...sounds like a really cool vibe. My sister is bringing her kiddo in the morning to do the ages 4 and up boogie boarding on Saturday morning. Excited we found this epic new spot...hard to believe there is a surfing venue in The Colony! Grandscape really is bringing awesome stuff to the area! read more

I love the vibe of this restaurant. You don't feel like you're in Texas, you feel like you're sitting at a beach resort in Hawaii watching people surf. The sound of the surf machine sounds like waves. The food is great from the bar, too. A great addition to the enormous Grandscape complex. 5 stars! read more

Still not open for the season, not sure if/when they will ever reopen. It is a fun spot though.

I love this place;! Well curated menu for pre, post and mid session fuel! I started with the Fig & Mushroom Flatbread and ended with the Ahi Burger. Surfing: One session might not be enough. I felt the progression during my second session. Thank you Chanelle and Nick at the pro shop for getting me a proper board for my second session which made a huge difference. Lewis dialed in a fin set up for me and recommended something that would be loose and responsive when transitioning turns. I had such a blast and can't wait to get back for the amazing surf and menu.

When I think Hawaiian I think bright flavors while remaining healthy. I will give the menu a note on the healthy part, but the flavor was not there at all. I had the tumeric chicken kebab. First, the menu said multiple tenders and I received one. It tasted like it was grilled with no seasoning whatsoever. Incredibly disappointing. My friends ordered a burger and the avocado wrap and they were disappointed as well. The appetizers were decent. My friend also got a Mai Tai which was so "spirit forward" you couldn't taste any of the mixers. Interestingly, I asked about several of the drinks and was told pretty much all of them were "spirit forward" which again seemed odd... because Hawaiian. It was so bad we tabbed out and drove 40 minutes to 4 Kahunas to face better drinks read more

Full disclosure they're still in their soft opening phase but I've been several times. My first two trips were just to observe the surf activity. After watching a group of first-timers of all ages, I went home and purchased a set of sessions so I could try it myself. At the time of this review I still haven't summoned the courage to try it but I will. I think the idea of looking like an idiot in front of a crowd is the only thing holding me back. Even if I suck at it, I think it's going to be a blast trying. Now let's dive into the island inspired menu. OMG it's been a fantastic journey of discovery. The menu is full of tacos, wraps and burgers BUT it's the ingredients and flavor combos that elevate these plates in a way that has yet to disappoint. You can tell everything was carefully curated. For example, the fruit side dish is normally a throwaway IMO. Most places serve flavorless melons, grapes, maybe a strawberry or two. The fruit options at Fireside are epic! Star fruit, citrus, mango... there had to be over half a dozen or more premium fruits all freshly presented. Over the course of two meals my group has tried the avocado falafel wrap, fish tacos, big kahuna, burger, sliders, venison tacos and Dole Whip Sundae and it's been two thumbs up all around. Even the side salad goes beyond the norm. All Dining is outdoors with great views of the wave. Service has been polite but they're still getting their groove - hence the soft opening so my review isn't focused on this aspect of the experience. Bottom line, try it! It's worth grabbing a meal at the very least. Just keep in mind they get slammed at peak times so I recommend cooking a reservation. read more

I absolutely love this place. Giving beach vibes... so chill. Great vegetarian friendly food. Our 6 year old loved it. Hopefully I'll be brave enough to surf one day, because it looks so fun. Even if you don't surf the vibe is right my friends... read more

Our group of 10 stumbled upon this place right when they opened and the owners stepped up and took care of us! Love the vibe! The Bloody Mary is spicy and addictive, draft beer selection is great. We didn't try any food because we had to run but got to watch a couple groups of kids in the surf. So cool to have this surf bar in landlocked DFW! Can't wait to check out DJ night surf on a Friday!!! read more

Such a cool concept! My husband and I made a happy hour reservation here yesterday and were seated right in front of the surfing. We had a frozen drink and an old-fashioned; both were great. (No HH prices.) They also brought us over this fried avocado with tuna that was amazing. The owners and GM came over to check on us and you can tell they really care about their business. This is going to be a great spring summer fall spot to just relax or surf if you're into that. read more

Pretty cool new place, but just for the atmosphere. Atmosphere - 8/10 : watching people surf kept us busy and the service was decent Food - 4/10 : the steak and noodles was just a steak salad, the burger kind of sucked, and Maui sandwich wasn't good enough to finish Drinks - 2/10 : cocktails were very small, and didn't taste great. However, the hazy ipa on draft was outstanding Also, the owner is a good surfer read more

Awesome Environment!! Truly amazing, that's where the love kinda stops. I have a lot of restaurant experience in my past. A lot! So here's the deal, don't come on a weekend. The hostess stand was in disarray. They were unorganized and there were 3 of them trying to figure things out. Then we got seated, and no one came to our table for 15-20 mins. No one. There were empty glasses and dirty plates everywhere on tables too. Very cool employees tho and super friendly. Food looked decent. Y'all, you need to get some efficiency down and some organization. Something! Or else the higher end clientele will never even come close and it will be purely transient. Please fix it, has such potential. read more

I was really pleased with the experience. Service was quick and helpful with menu tips. It is entirely outdoor seating so just in case you weren't aware, factor in the weather, but they have a significant amount of different covered seating options. I got the fish tacos, excellent. Really good flavor between the crema and the pico, only negative I could list is they're messy, but some of that is due to healthy portions! Wife got the Maui Wowie chicken sandwich and she was happy. I managed to get a bite and chicken was tender and juicy and bun was great, was maybe a little lighter on flavor for my own preference, but I feel like this is intended to be a healthier option. Management was highly available and spoke to every table I saw there to introduce and offer assistance. Didn't get to see any surfing, but was still very pleased for a lunch date. read more

Highly recommend stopping by for some delicious beverages & creative and fresh bites. We were impressed by their fresh squeezed citrus, creative ingredients and well balanced cocktails. The burger was excellent and very large and the macadamia nut bowl was filled with tender chicken, fresh fruit, crisp greens and a delicious dressing. The atmosphere is fun and inviting and the owners even came by to say hello and ask us about our experience. 10/10 we will be sure to visit often. read more

Great spot! Love the food and great atmosphere. Great staff. Only thing is the weekends have a surcharge of $50 per hour for a table on the lower deck which is really high and most likely will kill the business down there. Other than that great service and food! read more

Had a reservation on Saturday night. We waited 15 minutes to be seated because only one girl was hostessing & had to seat each party. Then we sat at our table for 15 minutes before the same girl finally brought us water & said our waiter would be by soon. 15 minutes later & he never showed up. Seems only 1 waiter was working the whole upper deck on a Saturday night. We left. read more

This restaurant checks all the boxes! It has such a cool vibe. It feels like you're on vacation in California or Hawaii soaking up the sound of the ocean.

Food was good, atmosphere was great, drinks were "meh". Our server was excellent and we were fortunate enough to get a table right next to the wave pool. A hip beachy vibe with good music and plenty of highly entertaining activity to watch and enjoy. The surf pool is small, but it gets the job done for a wet ride in Plano. If they were slightly more generous with the cocktails, or a little quicker with the bar service, I would give it 5 stars. read more

The bar manger and female server with the short wavy hair are some of the Rudest I've ever met in customer service. The bar manger speaks rudely to customers, and the employees, doesn't even greet customers, keeps his head down while speaking. He chastised a young female employee right in front of us over counting the register at the end of her shift, it appeared . We could not believe how arrogant and rude this guy was in front of customers. The lady with the short wavy hair doesn't greet, no smile seems unhappy , never collected our money for the "Togo order" even after we received the food. We had to tell her we haven't paid , she takes the $100 bill for a $45.22 meal, she hands back the bills without counting it back, and walks away. She kept the change, the customers sitting next to us noticed what happened and said That's Theft! We called the server over and asked for the change we were shorted, she had no response just opened the register to get the change and handed to us. No apology. This is probably a regular occurrence. I would advise everyone to count your change. This could be a very nice establishment but the manager and staffer will ruin this business before it even opens fully! Very disappointing. read more

I love the concept and would have loved to work here; however, the social media manager of this company is very rude and unprofessional. I have applied twice. The first time I submitted an application through indeed and never heard back so reached out via social media where the social media manager told me to go to the store at a specific time. I went in and waited over an hour outside in 100 degree weather for someone only to be told the position was already filled and that I would hear back when a position opened. The second time I applied I never heard back either and reached out via social media. I was told the position was filled even though it's still listed on indeed to be able to apply to... to date. I asked why my application was being denied / not even looked at twice... and this is the response I was given "We are very busy and if we had conversations with every person about this we wouldn't run a business" and "I can tell you this. A company is not required by law to tell you why you weren't hired." Not only this they keep deleting my reviews. Guess what.... I'm a social media manager for a company and we would never treat potential clientele this way because we wouldn't get any business. Also I have a degree in business management and Human Resources management. So I know for a fact the way I am being treated is incorrect and unprofessional. Run your business better. read more
