Met another couple for dinner. Family style seating, which meant large groups. House sangria was disappointing, small, and over priced. Food was average. Service was not great - server seemed less than interested. With the restaurant offerings in Lancaster City, we won't be going back. read more

No dogs allowed on patio. Just wanted to give everyone that heads up as they didn't mention it anywhere.

The food was good when we finally got it. More than 45 minutes for our entree's to be served. When we arrived they said our table was ready. Some members of the party needed to use the restroom so they said they would wait. Instead of waiting they seated another party that didn't have a reservation and made us wait. It's not good to tell us one thing and do another. Very expensive! read more

Back for the 2nd time during our trip to Lancaster! Came here for dinner after sight and sound. Tonight I had the apricot salmon and a bees knees cocktail. Both were amazing! Our server, Becca, was amazing! Attentive and super knowledgeable! My hubby had the black and blue prime rib special - he loved it! And of course - he ordered the banana bread old fashioned. 100% recommend read more

My husband and I came here (first time) for a late lunch this past Saturday (2/11) and were pleasantly surprised. The service was good... food was delicious and overall it would be a place we would consider coming to again when in the area. read more

We got in really late so there wasn't much to choose from. My husband wanted to get a dozen wings and split them with two flavors. The waiter said he would have to order 6 and 6 which is a few dollars more expensive. Just seems like an unnecessary up charge. He also ordered a side of fries which never came. The waiter said he just gave my brother in law more fries and thought they'd share. Excuse me? I ordered the seafood bisque which wasn't good. There were whole pieces of shrimp which tasted kind of funny. I also got onion rings which were pretty good. I really wanted the tomato bisque but it said it had mushrooms in it. The chili said it was made with chunks of beef. Maybe that's a fine dining thing. I tried my mother in law's burger which was good. My sister in law liked her salmon and brother in law enjoyed his ribs. I think if I was in the mood to spend a lot of money on food it would be a nice place for a date night. I was just tired and wanted to go to bed. read more

Skip!! Beyond disappointing! There were 7 of us and only 2 meals were good. Five meals were dry, dry, dry. Two of us ordered the prime rib with crab and blue cheese sauce. ($42) Another two got the braised pork chops, and they were dry, too. The 5th person got a regular prime rib. Everybody was so disappointed since this was a repeat favorite restaurant on our yearly journeys to PA from VA. The mashed potatoes were huge, hard lumps and the carrots were crazy undercooked. Food was luke warm. So surprised since we go every year and have always loved. We normally don't say anything, but we did mention it to the waitress. She offered to take it away, but we didn't want to wait for 5 people to get fresh meals so we half ate it. Waitress didn't bring our appetizer either, and seemed too busy to keep up. Maybe she was new. Also, a good indicator of a good restaurant is a full house, well, it wasn't nearly as busy as it used to be so we are guessing we aren't the only ones who are now skipping this place. I also noticed the yelp average is 3.9 now! Speaks volumes. Too bad! It used to be our favorite. Manager did not visit our table or care when we mentioned it upon leaving after our bill was paid. Ambiance was lovely, but no fires in any of the fireplaces on a chilly evening. Which I was looking forward to. We will not be returning, and it was bad enough and treated poorly enough to leave a bad review. (If it was a cheap diner, no big deal, but when you're paying $42 for dinner, there is an expectation of high quality.) Save your money/look elsewhere! read more

We have been here many times and have always been impressed. Unfortunately, today was a disappointment. My tomato bisque was phenomenal as always. My Caesar's salad however, while tasty, seemed to have been prepared without any cutting/shredding of the lettuce. Each piece was larger than my hand. Worse, my wife's falafel pita came without the pita, tzatziki, cucumbers, etc. Just a plate of 2 falafel balls cut in half. Chef error, we were told. The "corrected" dish was plopped down hurriedly by a disinterested server. It contained all the ingredients EXCEPT falafel. I guess we were to assemble the new dish with the now cold falafel delivered 7 to 8 minutes earlier. Plus, the pita was so over toasted (as in 'burnt') that it wouldn't fold like nicely warmed pita should. Two other issues: my wife's side salad was delivered missing here dressing (same disinterested server). And our entrees didn't qualify for complimentary bread rolls. We acquired 2 for $3. Our waitress Annabeth was wonderful and did her best. And the manager offered apologies. My wife returned the falafel and it was taken off our bill. But no token offering of any kind (free dessert, taking rolls or glass of wine off the bill, no gift certificate for a future visit. I love this place an we will return. But tonight was a true letdown. read more

Friendly service, Tasty food. Beautiful Patio under a huge oak tree in the front. But no pets allowed on the outdoor patio.

Great food and friendly service. Dessert is amazing. Will definitely go again. Great atmosphere too! read more

Fireside Tavern - Burger - Bars Near Me - Strasburg, Pennsylvania

Stopped by the fireside while staying in Lancaster. Glade we gave it a try ! Food was awesome.! We ordered onion rings for appetizer and they were good and plenty. Just needed more dipping sauce.

Place was very clean and set nicely with Christmas decorations . Our sever Mark was excellent doing a great job ! Like to give shout out to the people behind the scenes for making our food . !! A+++ . read more

There are so many nice little restaurants in the area that are happy to have your business. Go to one of them. We stopped here (party of two) late in the afternoon. We were one of only a few tables, so busyness doesn't account for the poor service we received. Our waitress didn't seem to want to be bothered with us. We normally tip 50-100% of our bill, but she got 15%. The food was good. Good. But not fabulous. Portions were generous - we had leftovers. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't an experience that will bring us back. read more

Very nice tuck away for dinner. Fantastic waitress- thoughtful attentive and proactive. Food was delicious. Had the fish and chips not greasy at all. Only "wish" we had real potatoes for fries instead of yucky probated frozen fries. All in all we would absolutely go back read more

Visiting our daughter took her to eat for her birthday and the experience was terrible!! Hostess was rude and condescending. Sat us outside in the sun asked to be moved she refused and was so rude. Waitress was also very rude. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This was our second visit to the "Fireside Tavern" in the past year. It is about 90 minutes away, so I think it means a lot that we made a point to find it again. It has a lovely ambiance, with creatively designed lighting and decorations. It has a modern colonial feel. The drinks and food were served quickly and was delicious. A good time was had by all! read more

Great food, service and ambiance with four different rooms, each with its own unique ambiance. A full sit down bar, two dining rooms. One is more formal; the other less formal. Then another room is close to a sports bar atmosphere. Then there is a summer patio with umbrellas outside under shade trees. I like their prime rib, fried oysters and salads. Highly recommend it. Lots of parking. read more

Good, Food, Great Service and wonderful Ambiance. It's Country setting helps make this experience as relaxing as it could be. Enjoy the experience. read more

Megan, our server was amazing! The food was amazing and the drink special was amazing! Go there. You won't be disappointed.

Very nice local tavern with a good crowd on a weeknight. Beautiful and relaxing space. Wide ranging menu with entrees, sandwiches, and salads with nightly specials. Price's slightly above average as it is close to a tourist area. Staff is very nice and helpful, far above average. Our waitress Addy was very kind and interested in helping us in any way she could. Recommend for those visiting the area. read more

The wait time wasn't long at all- after experiencing Cherry Crest Farms, we needed. Place to eat that was nearby and found this restaurant. The service was excellent, the soup was phenomenal, and the apps and dinners were outstanding. I can't wait to come back again! read more

First time...came without a reservation, and got lucky, high top in the bar. Had the Blackened Prime Rib sandwich...slice of meat was huge, nice beer selection. Will have to make a return trip soon. read more

*Food was good *Facility was clean and welcoming *Waitress was extremely rude and didn't allow time to review the menu before pushing to get us to order. Additionally her tone when a customer was making a decision was entirely unkind and demanding. Obviously she wanted us to leave quickly so she could serve an additional table for extra tips. Instead she got less than our usual % for tips! I will ask for another waitress if we return. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect at Fireside Tavern, but it was so close to our hotel that we decided to give it a try. I was blown away. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, which is served in a bread bowl along with large chunks of crispy on the outside, soft on the inside slices of bread. The dip was covered with a layer of melty cheese. The dip itself was creamy with notes of garlic. It was some of the best spinach dip I've ever had. The side salad with ranch was relatively simple, but the ranch was top-notch. The burger and fries was cooked well, and the fries included a crispy coating along with a delicious seasoning. The side of cole slaw was great. The decor inside was homey and the service was spectacular. If we ever return to the area, we'll definitely return to Fireside Tavern. read more

This is a great place to enjoy a meal either as a couple or with friends. While there were children there, it wouldn't be my first pick for young kids. The menu is.suited for people that like to eat meals they wouldn't typically make at home. We were a table of four. We were seated immediately. The restaurant appears to be in an old home. There is outdoor seating too. It was not loud. You could really only hear the people seated next to you. Our server was excellent! He was polite, professional, and clearly took pride in his job as well as making his customers happy. One of us got the muscle appetizer as his meal. It was huge! Dipping the accompanying toasted bread into the delectable pool of muscle garlic white wine sauce. So glad he shared. That bite of dipped toast was the best bite at the table. The fish and chips were yummy too. It's the flaky coating, not the disappointing bread crumb stuff. The side salad was mixed greens, fresh, and clean. Great service, good food, calm, comfortable atmosphere; we would definitely eat here again. read more

Great food. Great setting. Very happy we went here. On our list whenever we are in the area.

Super friendly service -- typical of this area. The bar and seating around the bar is cozy and just right.. Friendly barkeep and good service. Everyone seems just to be in a good mood. We ate dinner outside on the deck under the sprawling willow oak - a nice setting. Stuffed shrimp was a B -- good not great, but worth a try if you like shrimp. Shepherds pie was a C. Good and well-prepared, but 90% potatoes. Mashed twice-baked potatoes with large chunks of beef that required cutting with a knife, like a steak. Limited veggies. In the area, definitely a good place to go. read more

Had outside seating available in a tent which was a plus. Generous portions. Food was mediocre. Nothing to write home about. Service was lacking - In case people have forgotten, we are still in the middle of a pandemic so we when asked for extra straws to be brought out, I would've hoped that each straw was individually wrapped. The waitress, without wearing any gloves, brought out a bunch of uncovered straws and dropped them on our tables. Being from out of state, we were shocked by the cold attitude of the certain staff members. We did not appreciate the snippy/short responses of the staff when we asked a question. As paying customers, We are NOT eating there for free. It would be appreciated if we are treated well without any attitude, snippiness or frustration. read more

Great service great food and our server Sheila was exceptional. I've been here many times and will be back.

This is such a cgreat place. However, I'm so disappointed they took their grilled chicken sandwich on a pretzel roll off the menu. It was my family's favorite and my staple order- along with the tomato bisque- everytime I've gone. If you are reading this- please bring it back!!!!! read more

Wonderful cozy decor in this restaurant. I had the broiled seafood platter - 3 scallops, 3 shrimp, 4 ounces of cod, whipped Yukon potatoes, 6 grilled asparagus spears, and a salad for $29.95. The meal was delicious and filling. Also enjoyed an Irish Mule cocktail which was also very enjoyable. Topped everything off with an apple crisp a la mode. I was with 6 others and every dish brought to the table looked and smelled wonderful. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. The staff was professional but not very warm and friendly. Reservations are required. read more

I can't say enough about this restaurant! The food as well as the staff were amazing. The candles on the table add to the ambiance. We were quite surprised and pleased at the cost of our meal and drinks. Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant. We are sure you will not regret it!!! read more

Awesome prime rib, tender, flavorful. Friendly staff, attentive. The place is more a restaurant than a tavern. Quaint.

Terrible service, rude front desk, I will never come here again. These people have no clue how to provide hospitality. Stay away!!
