If I were local I'd have a burger or two here every month.

You have to love a place that features a "deviled egg of the day," though sadly they sold out not long before our arrival. They waitress felt badly so she gave us generous sample of their other homemade sides, including a zesty pimento cheese and a delicious loaded baked potato salad. The sandwiches were very good: made to order on fresh quality bread. The service was amazing: I felt as if we were welcomed into their home, and the place has a very cozy vibe. I am willing to bet the breakfast is outstanding given that this part of the country backs-up the belief that it is the most important meal of the day.

Anyway, when we finally pulled into the parking lot, it was just about 10:50 a.m. local time. We walked to the front door and saw a hand-written sign stating that they'd be closing at 11, since they were short-staffed. We almost had a group meltdown, haha. But, they welcomed us in and sat us at a booth with no hesitation. My dad and husband both ordered the "Hungry Man" breakfast platter ($9), and my mom and I both ordered the Two Egg breakfasts ($8), plus we all got coffee. For my plate, I got eggs scrambled with cheese, plus bacon and the gravy biscuits. Mom got hers with scrambled eggs (no cheese), and the same sides. My hubs got sausage (theirs are patties), gravy biscuits, two eggs over-medium and grits. My dad got bacon, grits, eggs over-hard, house potatoes with onions and a side of grits. The food was fresh and filling, and quite tasty. The biscuits - which were the one thing we all wanted - were fluffy and smothered in their southern gravy, which was more savory than I expected...if that makes sense. We all really liked the flavor. The final bill, after taxes and tips, was just under $40, for all four of us. Not a bad deal for a quick and tasty meal.

Overall, Firehouse was a fun spot for a family lunch. The experience, atmosphere, service, and value were all positives, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the brisket in particular. That said, the food was still good and I'd recommend a visit.

The servers were very personable and helpful, explaining everything and answering all our questions no matter how silly. All the meats were fantastic. I loved the pulled pork, but I tried the pulled chicken my son had and was blown away. It wasn't actually pulled, it was sliced, but so tasty and absolutely melt in your mouth. I'm picky about barbecue sauces but their Alabama white sauce that they had was delicious. We all had very similar dishes in different combinations and every single one of us was pleased as punch with everything. If living here or just passing through, I highly recommend The Firehouse as the place for great barbecue.

I was amazed at how fast the line moved and although the seating is limited to a few tables inside and a few more under an awning in front of the restaurant we were able to find a seat even though we ordered our food for take out thinking we'd be eating in the park but we got lucky. You order at the counter and they give you a number placard and find you when your made to order food is ready. Being this was our first time here we were clueless of the protocol but the staff is ready to help with any questions you have. We ordered burgers and shared an order of crinkle fries and both of us got a self-serve fountain drink. This is definitely a local's favorite and boy did they pack this place at noon, only to be out done by their take out orders, this kitchen can put out lots of food so the wait time is very manageable. The burgers were fresh and well put together and delicious, we only realized you have to ask for pickles whether or not you order the burgers all the way after we placed our order so they brought out a small cup full and they definitely are a must. The crinkle fries were crispy and delicious and perfect with a few sprinkles of their signature "dust". The staff and food definitely exceeded our expectations and I'd eat here again just to try a few more of their offering - this is a wonderful small town locally owned business...
