We really enjoyed our time at Fire Side Public House. We just happened upon it and got a chance to eat outside. The food was fantastic. However, because we ate outside (I think) we were given paper products instead of dishware. That bugs me. It's a waste. It was windy and it was blowing away. And really, I am an adult and won't break the dishes. read more

I've been here a number of times (whenever I'm in the city) and love their grill. However, on this occasion the vibe and service was really different. So much so, I kept checking the shirts and menu to see if maybe they'd were under new ownership/management. Food was decent (had the salmon, cut was smaller than usual), and it was tasty. Hoping it was just a one off night, will try again...but if that's the new vibe, I'll pass. read more

Went for lunch and the food was delicious! We got wings, fries and a black and blue burger. I would go back for the food.

I have eaten here so many times, and the food is always great! We were hoping to sit outside since it was 65 and sunny today, but were told it was indoor seating only. This is the second nice day that we went to sit outside, but were told it was indoor only. We tried to call ahead of time to ask, but the line was consistently busy. That was a bummer, but we still enjoyed our meal! We had the crab cake sandwich and BBQ chicken sandwich. The French fries are great and their salad dressings are homemade too. Most of the menu items are cooked right over the fire grill. It smells amazing inside! Fire Side is a hidden gem behind the east Liberty Target! read more

Stopped in for dinner on a crowded night. We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table to open up. The location is interesting because you can watch food being prepared and cooked in the fire. It can be a bit noisy with all the glass and hard surfaces. Our waitress was friendly and OK, somewhat overly friendly and did disappear for a while. When we tasted our water, I was interested to see if anyone noticed the strange taste. Yes indeed, it was mentioned immediately by someone in our group. It tasted as though the glasses had been cleaned but not rinsed properly or the rinse sink needed to be changed to clean water. They were out of all the daily specials so were ordered off the menu. My Wildfire burger was very good and had a little heat from the Buffalo sauce. The Fresh cut fries were good and a bit over salted. read more

This is a Pittsburgh place. The East Liberty restaurant is one of 3 in the area and newest. Lots of craft beers and full bar with complimentary off street parking. Self-described as a no frills restaurant is accurate. The serve was super friendly. Food was cooked on an open fire in the center of the room; literally watched a guy shovel coal and throw wood into the flame. Chicken sandwich and cheeses take were very good and the fresh cut fires were "fire", as the kids say. Black bean burger fell apart in the bun and was not worth the attempt. Biggest problem was our food was served 5 minutes apart from each. So if I waited for my wife's sandwich mine would be cold. Literally 10 minutes. Lastly, I am not a fan of eating out of a metal basket. I plan on returning and giving it another try, or trying another one of their venues. read more

Awesome wildfire grill restaurant that you won't break the bank going to! From the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted by the wonderful smells of fire and freshly grilled food. We were seated right away at a hightop table near the bar. On the table is a list of daily specials. Highly recommend checking that out to see the deal of the day. We came on a Thursday and the special was $10 any burger on the menu! The menu is full of favorite handheld foods and comfort foods, along with a small section for salads. I ordered the wildfire burger. This burger is a juicy and tender beef patty with pepperjack cheese, perfectly crisp bacon, lettuce and tomato, and topped with their semi spicy bbq sauce. It was delicious! Everything blended perfectly together and ingredients were fresh. The smoky flavor of the grill came through as a wonderful aftertaste too. Even the fries were tasty, seasoned nicely and were crispy on the outside but soft inside. Our waitress was great too in getting us everything quickly and letting us hang out and enjoy our meal. Absolutely going to come back again and try another daily special menu item! read more

I came here with a group of friends and had a great time! The service was friendly and funny, plus they had a lot of outdoor seating which is great with everything going on! I had a salad and it was delicious! For some reason my salad came out super late after everyone finished their meals, but that was okay because I was preoccupied with good company and conversation read more

I was very disappointed. I have been here like 4 or 5 times and the food and atmosphere has been good, but I took my friends who took my word on choosing dinner here on Sunday night and we had actual bad time. I ordered one of the specials (1/2 rack of ribs) and it was overcooked - after trying my dish I sat there and didn't eat it, and at the end of the meal I sent it back and didn't even order anything else. One of my friends ordered another special (pulled chicken sandwhich) and while edible, it was very dry and not enjoyable like it should have been. The other in our party got the salmon, which I have had before and really liked - despite not liking salmon typically - and they asked her what her preferred cook was (temp and seasoning) and they didn't follow those instructions. The concept includes and open cooking area in the center of the restaurant and we could see the chefs there texting. Our waitress (who never told us her name at all) stopped at our table like a total of 3 times, close to an hour apart. When she sat some of our items down on the table she also had her vape in her hand.. We sat without water while we tried to eat our overdone/dry dishes. And we never even had the opportunity to order the desserts we had planned on getting. We had to ask another server to get the girl back to our table in order to issue our check.... and the other waitress said ours was supposed to be in shift lead/ in charge. I don't know that I'll be back anytime soon, my friends probably won't either since it was not a trustworthy recommendation on my part. read more

We have been here a couple times and the chef never disappoints. The food has been delicious every time and the fries are amazing! This was the first time it was busy, but for a Friday night, they still accommodated us immediately and got us seated. They have an extensive draft list and the prices are very reasonable. read more

I really do like this place especially for Taco Tuesday. The staff is always really friendly and the food is always stellar. This was the very first time that I came and it was super busy. The main parking lot was full but they have additional parking in the rear of the restaurant. Even though the place was packed, I was greeted by a host and was directed to the bar as requested. Our bartender was really fun and knowledgeable of the menu and draft list. Our food took a little longer than usual but that was expected considering how busy they were. The only negative I had was that the place kind of smelled like old mop when you walked in which eventually subsided or I got used to it. Besides that, the 3 for $10 dollar tacos were worth it! read more

First I want to say I know people are trying to Bounce back because of the Covid pandemic. However, I was seriously disappointed when I ordered pierogies from their appetizer menu at the cost of $10 and they brought out three little ass pierogies. I was extremely disappointed not only did the menu not reference how many came with, they behaved as if serving three was acceptable. Will I come back anytime soon? Naw. Drinks were okay and so were the house made chips (however the serving size on those deserves a side eye too ) read more

I've been wanting to try this place for the past year or so and finally popped in for lunch this week. Pros: I'm so happy I did! Cons: I sure have been missing out all this time! COVID protocols were in place. I got 6 grilled wildfire BBQ wings and a summer shandy and it sure hit the spot. I can't wait to come back here in the summer and sit outside. Highly recommend. read more

We initially loved this place. However, after going in the harsh reality of daylight (had only been at night before), that's changed. First off, with sunlight streaming in, we could see how dirty the floor was. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. Makes you wonder about the food prep and cooking cleanliness. Second, the fries that came on the side of my sandwich were riddled with blue spots. Bright, electric blue. I pointed it out to the waitress and she said she'd be back. When she returned, she said the cook told her the blue spots were just from a sticker that must've been left on a potato. *shrug* She asked if I wanted more. I declined and we asked for boxes to take our uneaten food home. My husband had lost his appetite at that point. It looked like crazy mold or who knows what...but even if it was a sticker that was left on, is that even sanitary to have in a fryer?? Yuck. When we got the bill, nothing was even taken off. Charged in full for everything. We left and have never been back. read more

Great food, service was okay. It's not fast food so don't expect to be in and out quick. Enjoy your night.

Called ahead to make sure they were showing the Women's World Cup Finale (they were, albeit with loud pop music playing over it). We sat on one side of the horseshoe-shaped dining area to watch the TV. In the middle is the bar, grill, and food-prep counter, with big glass windows all around. We enjoyed grilled ribs (sriracha maple syrup bacon and garlic parmesan) and split a house salad for a small but delicious lunch. There were lots of good-looking options on the menu, including the burgers and a number of sides. Despite the loud music, this would probably be a nice place to come back and try other dishes. They don't seem to be able to handle groups larger than four, and the restrooms are single stalls and gendered. Ample free lot parking. read more

My visit to the public Fireside Public House was not good. It beat out Horrible but not by much. 1.Not one employee greated me when I entered the Restaurant, the reason this stood out to me is that every person after me was greated wuth a warm clear "Hi how are you, do you need to be seated" or "Welcome guys, have a seat" I got nothing. 2. It took a little time before a server came to me maybe I shouldn't complain, I have waited longer in other places. But what stands out is there were only three other people in the Restaurant other than me... 3. When my meal was served I noticed that it was wrong, yes they screwed up the order. 4. When the order came back again the bun had this brown dirty oily area on the top bun in the back I'll add pictures. 5. I was not given any napkins, I asked for napkins and a fork. My server took way too much time. She went in the back to get the fork and napkin when they are under the counter in front of me also remember there were very little people in the Restaurant!!! read more

Excellent food but the bathroom was bad & then restaurant was a bit messy. I had the wildfire burger& the husband had the Black& Blue. Both came with fries-- pretty good fries! The burgers were fantastic!!!! The drinks & cocktail was good too. Although very crowded, the waiter paid attn to us. The bathroom sucked bigtime! I would chalk it up to the restaurant being super crowded. Couple of houseflies around us which is ofc annoying when trying to enjoy dinner w/ the family. But everyone was really nice. Do try to go there during the late evenings or lunch time to avoid the extreme crowds. read more

I've been to Fire Side twice now, and both times I had a great experience. The first visit I had a chicken sandwich with french fries. They were perfectly cooked and I enjoyed my meal. The second visit was for their Monday wing night. They rocked! Half off wings are a great way to end a Monday. Overall, a good place to meet up with friends or just grab a quick beer. Make sure to look at their daily specials before you visit! read more

We were excited to try this place because the menu looked great. However, most of the items we ordered had too much flavor. The garlic parm wings had too much garlic unless you absolutely love garlic. I don't, so I wasn't a fan. Wasn't a fan of the Korean BBQ wings either; I thought the flavor was a bit too strong for me. But do try the hush puppies! They were very tasty and were the best part of the meal. All of the different components of the hush puppies worked really well together. For my entree, I ordered the Quebec burger, which was very salty, so I barely ate any of it. The restaurant itself is nice; it has high ceilings and the grilling area is right at the center of the restaurant, so you could pretty much watch your food getting made. I do hope to try Fire Side again, but only after they tone it down a little. Taste | 3 Atmosphere | 4 Presentation | 4 Service | 3 OVERALL | 3.5 read more

We enjoyed our meal here. They have a fabulous list of beers on draft, and the majority are locally made. The food was prepared well, but we were hoping for more vegetarian options. The grilled corn dip was excellent, and unexpectedly (but delightfully) spicy. We both had the Black Bean Burger. The avocado, baby spinach and other toppings were delicious, but both of us were not wild about the burger. The service was excellent! Prices were reasonable. read more

Nice atmosphere, great service, and solid food! They have a fire pit outside, which gives it an interesting vibe. The kitchen is in the center of the restaurant and you can watch them make your food. The Mexican street corn was soft and just the right mix of sweet and savory. The fire side burger was very solid. Not the most amazing burger I've ever had, but it hit the spot. The fries were thick and tasty. I'd recommend checking this place out! FYI the parking lot is very small. read more

This is a cool bar with good food right behind Target in East Liberty. Their menu changes constantly and the food is professionally made. There is outdoor seating. The food here is heavy comfort food. I tried the crab hush puppies where were good but heavy. Then I tried their pierogies which were also good but very heavy in their starchiness and horseradish- ness-ness. This is a cool place to eat with ok service of you want beer and comfort food. read more

FSPH is just a cut above your typical bar. The place is warm and inviting with a modern feel. Tables surround the kitchen encased in glass. Outdoor seating is available in the summer months. The menu is upscale comfort food, but always changing. A lot of their food is locally sourced if that matters to you. My last visit was wing night, so I tried the buffalo ranch, Sriracha maple bacon, and blackberry BBQ. We shared a side of crab hush puppies which came with a Sriracha aioli. Prior times here I've tried burgers and flatbreads which were also good. I've never had unpleasant service. Their draft beer selection is above average and they have some specials a few nights per week. Currently flights are only available (and on special) on Thursdays, but they do offer an 8oz pour if you're into sampling. My only complaint during my last visit was that I wasn't seated at a good angle to watch the penguins game, but all in all Fire Side makes for a good night out. read more

We stoped in for lunch the day after Christmas. The fellow behind the bar was polite, helpful and knowledgeable about the different brews on tap. After some discussion he recommended the Morgantown for me and he was spot on, it was great. The kitchen area is in the center of thd bar, the other 2 workers never stoped. It is real wood fire and one guy seemed to be doing prep work and cooking while the other tended to keeping the fire just right (please get the poor guy the ove glove for god sakes) The food was delicious although a bit pricey especially for a pub setting but that's the problem I don't think they know what they're trying to be. It's actually quite sad this could be a really great place with just a few minor changes for example: the glass on the exterior should be thoroughly cleaned, Decor should be a little bit more warm and inviting and building some type of Cabinetry around the center kitchen area wouldn't be a bad idea either nobody wants to see a gross looking floor drain in the center of the kitchen while they're eating or dingy metal shelving. They have all the Necessities for having a great place; good staff, good food and good beer, a few tweaks and this would be our new favorite place. Oh and as we sat there watching the poor bartender have to walk a marathon every time he needed to tend to someone near the front door, I couldn't help but think some type of pass through or walkthrough for them on that side of the bar would be beneficial. read more

Not a great experience. Poor lighting and really dirty. Very poor service. Waited over 50 minutes for nachos that were cold. It was like they forgot about us and the place was practically empty. Food was only ok. Fries could have been great (hand cut) but undercooked. Very disappointing. read more

Hush puppies were excellent. Tasted more like mini-spicy crab cakes. The sauce they sat in was just a perfect balance of spicy and creamy. So so good. Service was attentive on a Saturday lunch hour. Philly cheesesteak sandwich was good with an Alfredo sauce topping. Alabama grilled chicken breast sandwich was also ok. Not much "sauce" on it. The sauce was a tangy ranch type but not much of it to really make a difference to the sandwich. The chicken breast was still juicy and had a good grill flavor but not much else to recommend it as far as condiments. The fries were very thick and very fresh. Skin on. Very "potato patch" style. The best part of the meal, tho, other than the appetizer, was the very very cold beer. Huge selection. Nice and cold. read more

Went here for dinner yesterday around 5:45. We were seated immediately at a low table. We had our daughter with us so I was glad to see they had highchairs and kids activities with crayons. We went at happy hour so all local beers with a keystone symbol were $4. We started off with perogie appetizer. It was really garlicky but good. I got the crab cake sandwich with green beans and my husband got the turkey burger with fries. He said it was the best turkey burger he had ever eaten. My crab cake was really good. No complaints on our food. I loved how the place was all windows and it was a really sunny day so it made it really nice inside and you would never know it was 30 degrees outside. My only complaint is that they don't have a changing table in the bathroom. They did have a small circular table though that we made do. I'm really surprised that every time we drive by it looks pretty empty. This place met all of our needs so we will be back! read more

Why I forgot how good it is here is beyond me. Trying to find good brunch the day after st Patty's in Pittsburgh is a feat in itself. Trying to find amazing food for a great price is almost impossible. Yet Fire Side somehow checked all the boxes. I attempted to tackle the biggest crab cake I've had in my life, and to my surprise I failed. Not only was the sandwich hot and fresh, but it was the size of a half pound burger, something you don't ever see in Pittsburgh. I highly recommend it and garlic aoli fries while you're at it. The service was fantastic and the sights and smells from the fire grill are amazing. Don't wait any longer. Get here now. read more
