I got the mozzarella burger with grilled onions, mayo and mustard with salt. I was nervous bc I was the only one that didn't order a double burger but the single was enough. Love that the burger hangs out beyond the bun. There was a good amount of cheese and onion. The salt was just right. Mayo and mustard were good too. Sometimes you just don't get enough but I found it to be the proper amount. Ordered the family size fries and they fed 5 of us with leftovers. The fries were pretty good and crispy too considering they went on a 20 minute journey in the bag back to the house. Would definitely eat here again.

Finally ordered food and then waited another 15 minutes for my actual food. Never even told me why I was waiting until after 7 minutes of standing there twiddling my thumbs before the guy said they were waiting for my spicy tenders. Then magically they appeared on the chicken rack. Still waiting.............. then an employee on lunch flirting with the girl working gets his food while this paying customer is still waiting."Tick tock tick tock" Finally after over 15 mins of waiting for my food(because I just love to stand there staring at the menu for my whole life) the manager asked if I was waiting and then got my food as she had to tell the dude working piece by piece what to put in my box.

The issue happened between 10-11pm. Keep in mind the restaurant closed the ticket at 9:34pm. (They also cancelled my new order) So the situation could have been addressed in time.

I drove away without receiving an item that I paid for because rather than have a situation escalate with a worker, I wanted to wait to speak with a manager. I called the next day to share my experience with the manager, Jonathan, and his response was that he doesn't have problems like what I described. Basically, he dismissed me and asserted that I was lying on his employees. He didn't offer investigation nor resolution. I feel disrespected by immature workers with no customer service training, and cheated out of the cheesy fries that I paid for and didn't get.

I later called the customer service number and requested a return call. After nit receiving a call for 5 days. I called the general manager who said the chili should have been replaced and he would talk with Tracy about it. The rest of the food was ok overall. The waitress was very attentive. It appeared clean but the restroom needed some attention. I understand why their rating is so low. If they can't afford to replace a bowl of chili they should not be in business.

I actually think some of the items here are pretty good, but comparatively speaking, I've certainly had much better. Firehouse is definitely different than what you normally find in Danville. It takes a step away from the Midwestern fare and takes me a bit closer to my personal comfort spot, Southern cooking. When I see fried catfish on the menu, my eyes make a beeline to it. This food can satisfy my cravings until I get home, but would never replace it fully. First time I visited, I got their fried catfish and shrimp combo with fries. Firehouse definitely gets an A+ on their seasoning, they season everything up heavily and more! The catfish was definitely overdone and wasn't flakey. The shrimp was pretty subpar in my opinion, really rubbery and not very fun to eat. It was just greasy and messy to eat. The french fries here are superb though. I came back and was in the mood for their gyro. They really loaded that sandwich up, I would say they made it too big for its own good. Don't get me wrong, I love extra food, but the extra food caused the sandwich to collapse on itself. I ended up eating the items individually, rather than all together. And I am aware that this is not a specialty Arabic/Greek restaurant, but the quality of the gyro meat was just fine, nothing too crazy. I really want to like this place more than I have so far. The employees here are super nice and the menu is just so appealing and is a nice change in pace to the diner style menus. Having that variety instantly makes it a place worthy of a revisit in my eyes!

I would've liked to get a salad, but they only had iceberg lettuce and due to it's lack of nutritional value I thought that to be a waste of space in my stomach. The only other veggie options I saw were overcooked green beans (limp and watery) and broccoli chicken or pepper chicken. All veggies come sauced and with chicken, apparently! What I did get onto my plate was hit or miss. The trend seemed to be that the Asian options were the best. The general tso's, sweet n' sour and teriyaki chicken were good. The teriyaki had a few dry pieces, but I think they just weren't that fresh. The same with the fried shrimp. It was really hard and tasted old. The egg roll was mushy and disappointing, though. The macaroni and cheese was disgusting. The mashed potatoes and gravy tasted instant, but I have a soft spot for instant potatoes! A little salt and pepper and they were just fine. I had two helpings. I managed to find some plain ole steamed cauliflower that I paired with the clarified butter meant for the crab legs that were on special for Father's Day. The staff were nice and kept our plates cleared, but a refill of my soda was hard to come by. They do offer a 10% discount for seniors over the age of 60, which is nice. We finished off the meal with ice cream, served in individual cups. They also offered chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip that you scoop yourself... definitely not the most sanitary.
