I was having a get together with some friends, we picked up an order at fireside, two rotisserie chickens with five sides dishes. The chicken was hot, fresh, tasty. The side dishes don't recall what all five were, potato salad, and a cucumber salad, that I ate well fantastic. Everybody else was very happy with the food. Definitely will try again, convenient, great prices read more

Subpar, but the biggest issue is the service and the ordering process. The lines aren't clearly marked for the deli versus the hot food, so people just end up standing in crowds. I placed an online order, but pickup is in the same line as people ordering sandwiches. My wrap was already sitting on the counter, yet I still had to wait while everyone's sandwiches were being made until I had to to awkwardly bypass to ask. That defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. The employee who helped me was also extremely rude, defensive, and came across as entitled. They keep online orders sitting on the counter without names or phone numbers attached. When she asked for my name, she said there was nothing under it, even though they had taken my name over the phone (why ask if everything's just in a pile then?). Instead of checking further, she gave me attitude because the order wasn't labeled, and even made a snarky comment as I was walking away. I don't know what warranted that. The wraps are a little small, pricing is fair. read more

We got an omelette, BECs, and a cheese sandwich. It tasted good. However their coffee tasted disgusting. I couldn't drink it. read more

Still been coming to this place my entire life. One of the staples in the Long Island community. From the food, to the service and even the ambience...this is a great deli. Whether you want hero's / sandwiches / wings / hot plate selections. You can't ever go wrong here. The last time I was here, I got some steak, pork shoulder, Mac and cheese and pasta. Everything is always incredible here. Big big shout out to fireside for holding it down since I've been in the area, we're talking 20+ years. read more

What a great establishment with fresh food and great customer service.. I recommend The Jazz sandwich or anything with their chicken.. Soo fresh! read more

The food is delicious and the staff are helpful and courteous. They have made great suggestions as to the amount of food I would need for my dinner. I have always been checked out with a smile and offering help to my car. I have never been upset with the price of the food because I know it's worth it! read more

This deli is one of my go to spots. The food is always fresh, the sandwiches are stacked, and the service is fast and friendly. You can tell they care about quality and their customers. Definitely one of the best local spots to grab a quick bite. I'll keep coming back! read more

The food was absolutely delicious and I would 100% recommend. Logan made my sandwich great. It was the trailblazer and was delicious.

The service was very good along with the freshly made sandwiches. I recommend the Flying Dutchman sandwich.

Sandwiches are amazing chicken chipotle club is my favorite 2nd favorite is the Captain Hook been coming here for almost 2 years now and last time I came this young man Logan helped me out and it was absolutely great best service ever read more

food was so good I ordered the trailblazer, That boy Logan sure knows how to work with meat! 10/10 will be coming back!

Although a bit outdated by the looks of it fireside still is my go to anytime I want a quick great meal. Plenty of options and everyone apart of the service is fast and friendly. read more

We would get takeout from Fireside on many a Friday night when I was growing up in Plainview in the '60s, '70s, and '80s. We would usually get chicken and ribs, and I loved it. I'd like to go back to enjoy it again some day. read more

Fantastic wood fired hero's. Cooked to perfection. I couldn't eat it all! It was my first wood fired oven hero and I truly enjoyed it!

Tired place with extremely rude bumpkin staff. No one had teeth and I felt like I was in Kentucky not Long Island. Asked for ice for the ice coffee and had to buy the ice! read more

Sandwich rolls were stale. They were not even edible. A nouth full of crumbs in every bite. When we asked for fresh rolls we were told they are all the same. I would never go back for sandwiches again. read more

Sorry, no pictures... First off, having lived in Plainview my entire 32 years of life, with the exception of college, I can't remember ever actually going to Fireside. I've seriously been missing out on some good damn food! I brought the Thanksgiving meal for 12-14 people to have a Friendsgiving at the group home that I work at for the kids and staff. The turkey was absolutely delicious! It wasn't dry or anything. For the Thanksgiving dinner you were able to get it sliced or roasted. Going with sliced was absolutely the way to go! The Thanksgiving meals came with sides of course! For the meal for 12-15, you were able to get 6 sides. I decided on mashed potatoes, a double order of candied sweet potatoes, corn, stuffing, and glazed carrots. Everything was delicious! Nothing was too sweet or too salty. Everything had a great amount of flavor and seasonings. The meal also came with gravy, dinner rolls, and cranberry sauce. For everything above, it came to $175 in including tax. It was absolutely worth it and more than enough food for 14 people. The pick-up experience was very smooth. It was ready at my scheduled pick up time, and a worker helped me carry the order to my car. I will return. I noticed they also have a hot and cold food bar as well as wraps, paninis, breakfast, salads and so much more. read more

I decided to stop here since I was in the area and had been in this place a few years ago. It is nice and clean inside and there is a large variety of cold and hot sandwiches you can order and like they were years ago I got helped right away even though it was crowded and my sandwiches were full and delicious as were there soups and salads. I will definitely be going back to try there BBQ Ribs, they looked delicious read more

After loving this place for 10+ years, they apparently changed who they get their meat from. I get better ribs from Chinese take out, at half the price & I don't need to leave my house. I'm truly disappointed. So sad. read more

The Service: Staffs behind counter & register are very friendly. However, this is the first time a restaurant owner told me STOP taking pictures of their food? The Food: BBQ ribs - meat is tender but sauce tastes too much ketchup, way too sweet. Spicy wings - the spicy sauce is good but chicken didn't look fresh Macaroni & Cheese - macaroni is overcooked. Look cheesy but didn't taste much cheese flavor Creamy spinach - taste okay The Parking: Private lot (Free) read more

Glad to see there's so many one star reviews. I came in today and the owner Lee came over while I was making coffee as if she wanted to check up on what I'm doing. The two women behind the deli came out from the side to stare at me. When I went to the deli to get bagels the short woman with silver hair was very nasty(She told me they only get 5 bagels a day and have me a attitude for no reason). So I left, and that's what when I realized why the place is so empty. Nasty employees will bring no business. read more

This place is repulsive. Had the chicken and ribs meal tonight. Ribs were disgusting, chicken was dry, the creamed spinach had a terrible aftertaste. The fries were not terrible, so I guess one star for them? Will never return. read more

This refers to the Huntington Station location which has reopened. I ordered hot wings. They were without a doubt the worst hot wings I've ever had. Super hot, no taste except extreme salt and heat. inedible!! Went right in the trash. How do you f**k up wings that badly? well, they did! The drinks from the cooler were barely cold. They were not just put in. I found they were all the same. I won't be returning to this location. Enter at your own risk. read more

Eh. It's not great. I've had good and bad experiences here. I've purchased packaged food that was way past the sell date (you kind of just assume that it will not be spoiled, until you taste it and then, yuck). I've gotten sandwiches that were far from impressive. Overall, it's hit or miss. I've never had anything great but it's local and reasonably priced. Dropping it a star. I just really don't like this place. The sandwich makers aren't terribly friendly, their selection is hit or miss at best. Not a fan. read more

Definitely a great sandwich shop. If you want quick cheap food togo, this place has great affordable food. Their hot food plates are also pretty good. I got their chicken parm and two sides; I got rice and pasta on the side. It only came out to 9$ and it filled me up pretty good. Tasted good as well. Check this place out! It's not really a dine in place but my friends and I sit in the back and eat all the time. read more

Really bad place! Food is very poor quality! Menu follows the same tired formula. Some of the employees are very nasty. I hope the owner fucks herself! read more

Mothers Day, what to eat? Thought I wanted Zorns, my love suggested Fireside and what a home run this was. Ribs, Chicken, stuffing, spinach and sweet potatoes!! Amazing, delicious and my new place for this type of food!!! Run, don't walk there and you'll be glad you did! read more

First of all the mac n cheese is straight stouffers frozen Mac. The sandwiches are bland and gross.

I'm disappointed, went there last week for 2 sandwiches and some salads. I ordered my sandwiches and while I was standing there watching the counter person made both sandwiches with pre sliced cold cuts pulled from the fridge. If that is what I expected I would have gone to Subway, I go to a deli to get fresh. This was at 4pm read more

Rotisserie chicken was the size of a Cornish game hen and very, very dry. The coleslaw was literally mayo and cabbage. Potato and macaroni salad just meh. So disappointing considering how much it cost (24.00) read more

It's a steam table deli, with both cold cut and hot food counters. The food is mediocre, though nicely priced. Today, I had the chicken parm hero, which was a special for $4.99 and it was HUGE, keeping me fed for two meals. My friend had some panini with too much honey mustard in it, which ruined the taste. I've had family style roast chicken take out from here before and while the chicken was okay, the sides weren't very tasty, mostly bland. They have a good assortment of prepared foods, which looked good. The cashiers looked about 15 years old and were clumsy, like not asking whether or not we wanted a plastic bag (didn't need it since we were staying to eat) and not actually handing me my food after bagging and ringing it up. There is a small sitting area at the very back of the store, which was good for us. We went between meals and I expect it is more hectic during the meal times. I saw too late that they had a juice/smoothie bar through a separate door. I might try it next time I go. read more

The sandwiches are very good! They need an attitude adjustment. The people behind the counter are very rude! Every time I go there, the people making the sandwiches are nasty. And on top of it, you can't call and order ahead. read more

I was visiting Long Island and went to eat here twice. Once I found it randomly because I was very hungry and it was convenient to pull in with my elderly mother. She seemed to like all the choices, but we both got salads, which they prepare in a bowl and give back to you after you provide your choices. The salad was very good! I then found out my uncle had been sent to get potato salad by my aunt and this was precisely where he was going to get it, because they have Pennsylvania Dutch potato salad. The next day I went back with both parents, who got their hot lunch, which consisted of a meat, starch and vegetable all for 6.99. I again got the salad and my parents had to get some of the special potato salad,and my Mom raved about the cole slaw. My only complaint is that they do have a small sitting area, but here are no restrooms, so they send you to the Burger King next door. read more

I loved it immensely! The honey wrap and Reuben sandwich are my absolute favorites! I like how theres more when you walk in that are outside of the menu and are healthy to read more

I think the food is good and the staff are pretty friendly. One of the guys who always makes me my sandwiches knows my name and always says hi with a smile. They always accommodate special requests no problem. The boss lady behind the counter needs to change her ways. There was a time where I came to grab dinner to-go just as they were closing (more like 15 min before). She was rushing me and telling me I need to go. Is that how you treat your customers??? There was another time when I came for a quick bite with a friend. At the counter I told her its to stay (theres a small sit down area in the back). Anyway, she just handed me back my sandwich. No tray, no napkins, nothing like k bye. I love the place but shape up boss lady. read more

Been coming here for 20 years. Picked up our to go order just before close last night. They made the wrong sandwich (ham as opposed to roastbeef) so I had a lovely cheese sandwich for dinner. They acknowledged they remembered us, but wouldn't give us another sandwich because (we ate some of it). Idiots. The hero costs me $7. Which means it costs them less than half. Now they'll lose out on thousands of my dollars over the next 20 years. Oh yea. They told me to ask for rose as she's the only one who can "authorize" one sandwich. What a place. read more

This place is one of my go-to places- solid food, affordable- and they are so generous! They just donated food for my agency during this pandemic. So amazing! read more

Can't believe I'm writing this normally I don't write reviews. This is a place that i've been going to since I was eight I grew up with them. And I still love sandwiches from there. I used to love the people. Now all you get is the same people but they are extremely rude. It's like they have no clue what's going on inside of their store. I'm a reasonable person I went and asked if they were still doing bacon egg and cheeses. It was 12 o'clock so I expected a no one person told me yes so I went up to order after 10 minutes to be told We aren't doing eggs right now and then when I mentioned that another employee told me they were still doing them . Instead of just making me the sandwich, they had to go and try to yell at the other employee. Not the way you run a business. Really disappointed on how low they've gone. Good food can't make up for poor service read more

Large deli with a big food offering but the staff really ruin it. They are pretty rude and just seem disinterested. They want to rush you in and out and come off a bit arrogant. Other than that, I ordered a chicken Caesar salad which didn't even come with cheese or croutons (the standard ingredients for a Caesar salad.) The attitudes kind of left me turned off so I don't think I'll return. read more

My first time here, after living in Hicksville for 4 years. I ordered three "sandwiches". They did not ask me what type of bread I wanted, I was told that sandwich automatically means a hero roll, after they had made them already. I ordered an American, an Italian, and Roast beef gravy melt "sandwich". There were only two other customers in there at 4:30pm on a Monday. I went to the checkout counter and advised the cashier of what I ordered. She advised she could not ring me up until she seen the price on the wrapping of the sandwiches. When I picked up my own sandwiches and brought them to her, she rang them up, and I asked if the wrapping said the same price as the big sign, and why she didn't just ring me up earlier, and she said sometimes people change their orders and are liars. So, I asked, instead of asking me if I made any changes you just assumed I was a liar? She said yes. I asked for a business card, and phone number to the manager, and she refused. Not one person smiled in this establishment. The sandwiches are cheap, but are small with very little meat. I feel like I paid for bread, mayo, and lettuce, and a big chunk, large slices of cheese. I called immediately after to speak to a manager. He said it is common practice for cashier to wait for prices on sandwich wrapping before check out. And that the cashier was wrong for refusing to give me manger information. He did apologize for the lack of customer service I encountered and told me to call back after 6 to speak to owner. I'm sure the owner will see this, and the take away should be better customer service. If you want to make little heroes and call them sandwiches for a cheap price, that's your decisions, but customer service will sell your soda, candy, and hot food easier than your "sandwiches" will. I was also not given or offered a receipt. read more
