Wait did you say Camel? Yes. Yes I did! Like the menu says just try it, it's delicious. Had the camel tenderloin and the Maytag blu filet. Both were perfectly cooked, flavorful and the sides were equally as wonderful. Camel came with some of the best grits I've ever had and the chimichurri was plate lickingly good. The filet had golden fried potatoes and asparagus all topped with micro greens that were sumptuous. For dessert the pot d crème was exceptional. As someone who isn't a huge chocolate fan it says a lot that I ate the whole thing without putting down my spoon. All too often a touristy place like Door county serves up sub par food at ridiculous prices because they know you won't be back. Fireside is not at all that type of place and is excellent. It's by no means cheap but I think well worth the price. read more

This spot has a great variety on the menu! The restaurant itself was very clean. The chicken pot pie and butternut squash ravioli were both delicious and we would order again! The service was pretty slow which is why I'm giving this a 4 instead of a 5. We do understand it was a busy night, but it did reflect our experience. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and had a great meal. We would definitely come back! read more

We were disappointed in the view as we were overlooking a parking lot and the dumpsters.

The food is solid and unique with camel and gator on the menu. The food feels reminiscent to what I've eaten in New Orleans. The service was solid and on point. The recommendation for a camel appetizer vs a main was appreciated. Ambiance wise it was fine. It's a large space so a bit different from my typical place which is often less than 15 tables. Prices were a tad high in my opinion. Though I understand it's a tourist spot that does the vast majority of its business in a very short period of time. All in I'd eat here again read more

Oh boy these Ribs are perfectly falling off the bone juicy, savory with a wonderful hint of cherry. Pineapple carrot cake melted in your mouth, definitely don't skip dessert! Lobster hush puppies perfect to sop up the extra sauce. Corn cob missed the mark, mushy texture should have gone with a different side. Quick friendly service. Great location downtown Egg Harbor. read more

Beautiful restaurant! This is a warm and cozy restaurant, spacious as well. The servers were polite and attentive as well. My wife and I met my brother and niece here for dinner and drinks. I believe the prices are reasonable for the area and ESPECIALLY after we tasted the food. Wow.... Delicious and cooked to PERFECTION. What fabulous flavors! We ALL enjoyed our meals and the conversation revolves around our plates for quite awhile. Do NOT miss out on this GEM of a restaurant. read more

Hubby and I had dinner here tonight. First, easy to get in for the two of us on a Monday night as the busy season is winding down. Reservation recommended if coming with a group larger than 4 during the busy season. The chef is from New Orleans, and does a great job combining creole southern flavors with midwest fare. Nice, quiet ambiance. Our waitress was great- friendly, quick service, knowledgeable on the menu and provided good recommendations. We also had the chocolate peanut butter cake-- but ate it before i could snap a pic! read more

Our first visit since they re-opened and moved a door or two down from their previous location. Food is still great! We went on a Sunday night after a 3:30 Packers game, so there were likely a few more people than usual showing up at the same time. There is a bar seating area and a bit more sedate dining area. Both are very casual. For this visit I got the Butternut Squash Ravioli, and my wife got the Shrimp and Grits that came with 7 shrimp. Both were fantastic...bold flavors and so, so, good. Service was OK; very enthusiastic, but a bit uneven when it came to timing. Overall, very good and glad they're back open regularly. read more

Everything we had were amazingly delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the amount we got. Started out with cheese curds very crispy outside and the Wasabi ranch sauce gave it a nice kick. The soup of the day was Chicken and vegetables. It was very filling and great to warm up as it is getting cooler at night in the fall season. Ended with the French onion braised meatloaf. It was stacked high with onion strings on top, next mashed potatoes, on top of meatloaf. There were pieces of breads all around that later soaked up the French onion soup. The meatloaf just fell apart very easily and melted in your mouth. My friends had the butternut squash ravioli. It is a lighter dish compared to the meatloaf. Fits very well with the fall season. read more

My wife and I were camping near Egg Harbor and walked by and saw some intriguing things on the menu, and it looked like a nice place, so we decided to stop back for dinner Monday night. We had a couple of nice drinks at the bar prior to being seated. The bartender and the owner chatted with us and were very friendly and helpful. We learned that the chef; her husband, was from New Orleans which explained some of the menu items. We shared an order of lasagna soup, which was creamy and delicious. I had the shrimp and cheese grits, which were awesome. My wife had the siracha salmon and risotto with asparagus and loved it. We ended with beignets; with sides of chocolate sauce and berry sauce for dipping. One order was 3 large beignets and they were better than the ones I had in New Orleans. We had a great time, our meals were excellent and everyone we spoke to was very friendly. Definitely going back to try some of the other items. read more

Stopped at this place and were seated immediately. The service was informational and friendly. Started with bread service that was a honey loaf bread with some type of garlic olive oil for dipping. The bread loaf was similar to bagel bread with a crispy outside but had a soft inside. Served warm and so yummy! The entrees were amazing as well. I recommend this place if you're looking for an upscale meal out. read more

Everything about this place was amazing. From the service, to the food and the atmosphere. You get your moneys worth of food, taste was on point, great conversation from the servers who were very knowledgeable and friendly. They made my daughter and grandchildren feel seen. I appreciated this. The owner/chef is an awesome person as well. I say this because experience has proven, that happy employees are the result of exemplary leadership. Meeting him and watching how he stepped in to help serve showed that he cared about his people and this says a lot. read more

LOVE. Our go-to for celebrations, date night, etc. Lauren is the hostess with the most-est and Blake can make magic with ingredients. Hands down our favorite spot. The camel is AMAZING. read more

We came on a Monday to this fantastic restaurant. We were greeted and spoke to the Chef's wife (both are owners) and their daughter was our server. All were charming, helpful and informative. We opted to sit outside since it was so nice out. They have a very nice wine list with options for all. We started with the wildberry and feta salad. one of the best in my life. So well balanced and delicious. I had the shrimp and grits and my friend had the camel bolognese. yes thats right - camel. It tastes life beef and was delicious. The raviolis served with it were light and amazing. From start to finish a great meal and experience. This place is the real deal so give it a try. read more

My family had a great dinner at Fireside. Great food and drink, and incredibly friendly service made this a fantastic experience. The restaurant had a vibrant, fun atmosphere. Far from a typical tourist trap, this felt like a restaurant that we would love to have in our home town, and we would be regulars. My young kids enjoyed their meals, including chicken and waffles that would appeal to most adults too. I appreciate that they didn't dumb down the kids food. My wife and I both went with a couple of their Cajun specialties, although I had a half dozen entrees on my short list. I had the jambalaya and my wife had the shrimp and grits. Both were outstanding. We also shared a wedge salad, it was definitely big enough to share! We will definitely be back, and would love to try this Sriracha glazed salmon, or cherry BBQ ribs. read more

Food was amazing! I had the sriracha Salman, absolutely superb! The service was excellent! Highly recommend! read more

The Fireside Restaurant - Salmon and Parmesan risotto - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Egg Harbor, Wisconsin

Food was amazing! Everything we had down to the kids meals was delicious. Service was also very good! Highly recommend.

We recently had our first meal at The Fireside, and I will say it was just excellent! There were six of us, all ordering something different, and every meal was very good. The staff added to the positive experience. The ambiance was nice, although like almost every restaurant these days, it was too loud. But we'll be back for sure. read more

Drinks were good and the food was good for the most part. Hush puppies were dark on the outside almost overcooked. Shrimp and grits had really good flavor. I don't love shrimp all mixed in with the tails on and they were slightly over done. My husband had the lemon chicken with Risotto this was probably the least favorite but still good. He had a couple crunchy risotto and a really strong sweet taste. Prices were reasonable and staff were super friendly! read more

We found this restaurant on Yelp while driving in Wisconsin lil peninsula. Nice restaurant, friendly staff n clean bathrooms. It was a Monday n most restaurants closed so we had very few choices. The salad n lobster/ andouille hush puppies were good. Chicken and waffle n pork belly confetti were ok. Nothing to brag about. But the best was the desert - 6 diff flavor mini cheesecakes . That was yummy. read more

Nashville Hot Chicken. Best ever. Generous portions as usual. Second only to jambalaya.

Excellent and attentive service, even for a single female over 65. That is rare. Food was delicious. I highly recommend the lobster and andouille hush puppies. read more

Make a reservation if you can otherwise you may have a Lon wait. Once your seated, it's pretty quick and easy from there. The popular cauliflower bites were good but not great and A tiny bit greasy. The calamari was a surprise and delicious. For dinner we got the sriracha salmon and pork chops. The salmon was well cooked but really lacked the sriracha flavor called out in the name. The pork chops were the real star. You get two HUGE chops and they are perfectly moist! Not a dry chop in this house! The risotto pancake and apple mixture are a great addition to the pork chops as well. Would definitely recommend making a stop! read more

Our first dinner ever here in Door County and I should say that I love what I ordered. My husband loves his order as well. Customer service is fine and the waitress is attentive to our needs. My bourbon salmon dish was yum. All the ingredients complement each other. The sauce, the fish, the asparagus, the garnish, even the lemon rind I was able to include. The tip there was to cut a teeny tiny piece of the lemon and combine everything in one bite! Given the opportunity, will ask my hubs to go back next time to explore more.. read more

Arrived at 5:45pm on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend and there was a 45-1hr wait for the dining room but there was one table that could seat our party or 4 and a high chair in the bar area that served the same food menu as the dining area. The food was a solid 4 stars. There was an great prime rib special and 3 of us ordered the ribeye blue cheese type dish all dishes roughly $38 for a nice meat meal isn't bad in my opinion. We had the beignet and flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Those we could have skipped. I'd recommend if you can, always waiting for the dining room if you can. But have to say the food was good. They take reservations if you call ahead enough for parties of 5 or more. read more

This restaurant is really good. We had 4 people. Started with the Hush Puppies, which were amazing. For dinner we had the butternut squash ravioli, steak frites, pork belly and salmon. Every dish was exceptional. The only knock was it is extremely loud. Had to yell to each other to be heard. Rugs might be a good addition to help absorb the noise. Highly recommend this place! read more

food / i ordered the filet medium rare and it was medium well to well done. it was chewy and i couldn't even finish it because it was getting stuck in my throat it was so overdone. service / the waitress brought me my beer about 10 minutes before our food came and we never saw her again until after i had to talk with a different table waitress. she then didn't come over for another ten minutes. the owner did stop over and ended up giving me my steak for free, which helped. but it was a disappointing experience. read more

Good meal - good location - friendly staff. This is a nice addition to the restaurant choices in Egg Harbor. It's a step or two above casual but not yet "fancy" so you can feel comfortable in nice jeans or slacks and get a more gourmet meal. The decor doesn't quite fit, some of it is leftover from the previous restaurant but it wasn't off putting. Just slightly mismatched. Hubby had the Saturday nights only ribeye special which is basically prime rib. It was delicious! Perfect cooked, tender, flavorful, so good! And the veggies on the plate were also so good, crisp tender not over cooked and well seasoned. I ordered the Fireside salad which was good. The beets were shaved which is different than I'm used to but a very nice presentation. The salad was fresh and not swimming in dressing. I'd order it again for sure. And we will visit the Fireside when we go back to Door County. read more

We had a fantastic meal at Fireside. I had the Shrimp & Grits and my husband had the ribeye special for the evening. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful with explaining the specials.

It was packed by 6pm. read more

The Fireside Restaurant - Shrimp and Grits - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Egg Harbor, Wisconsin

When in Door County, specifically in Egg Harbor, you must eat here especially if you love cajun and southern food. They were so kind to accommodate our large group (6 adults, and 5 kids) on short notice. The restaurant is very big with indoor and outdoor dining. The staff was super courteous and got our space ready within a couple of minutes of walking in. We tried a few appetizers. The buffalo cauliflower was super crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. We also got the goat cheese apricots. This dish was ok since the apricots were a bit tarte. For the main meal the adults ordered the Big Easy Jambalaya, Monterey Shrimp and Goat Cheese Grits, Chicken Feta Florentine, Butternut Squash Ravioli, and Bourbon Sriracha Salmon. All the dishes were fantastic but the monterey shrimp and grits as well the jambalaya was the highlight for me. The kids ordered the parmesan noodles, southern fried chicken, and chicken waffles. The best dish here was the chicken and waffles. The portion size for the kids meal were big so it can easily be shared with two kids. One of the best features of this restaurant is that they serve all kids meal on a frisbee which you can take home after you finish your meal. They will clean it for you before you take it home. We also tried the beignet on their dessert menu which was comparable to what you would find in New Orleans. The owner was also nice and gave us a little history on the restaurant and the different items they have as season delicacies on their menu like camel and alligator. Our server Amir was very attentive to our needs. Overall, if you love cajun food, I would highly recommend you visit the Fireside restaurant next time you are in Egg Harbor. read more

We ate at Fireside Thursday night. It was amazing!! I had an Asian pork belly on Risotto. My husband had Jambalaya as the chef is from Louisiana and it is authentic. Spicy... others had the Bleu Steak and Florentine Chicken. All was out of sight!! The chef/owner and his wife came out to walk the crowded dining room to ensure we were well served and fed. Our server was fantastic and the beer/wine selection superb. Prices were on point with what I expected and I don't consider this place expensive. Check the menu online as they change daily. read more

When looking for a good place to eat in the area this place kept coming up. It is a hit with locals and the tourist. If you plan on going here to eat you better make reservations. The restaurant is nice and big. All servers are following the covid protocol by cleaning the tables between guest and wearing masks at all time. Restaurant is neat with good clean bathrooms. The owner was walking around making sure the food and customer experience was memorable. The owner stopped by to explain the different menu items and give her recommendations, especially the special of the month which was a camel. Earlier they had alligator meat. Our server Emir was great and made sure food came out just right and we did not have any complaints. We tried a lot of food and everything we had was very flavorful. The salmon was cooked just right with nice spice on it. The Chicken feta with lemon flavor was finger licking good. Their jambalaya was just like eating in New Orleans. After talking to the owner we found that the chef is from a place near New Orleans hence the food quality was just like eating an authentic southern food. Kids ordered chicken and waffle from the kids menu and were surprised by their plates being a Frisbee. Basically after the kids are done eating they can take their Frisbee as a souvenirs. And to end the day you have to eat the beignets. It was great. Overall our experience is great and I agree with the locals and the tourist that this is a must eat at place. read more
