Fireside Bar & Grille - Bar & grill in Ambler - 1211 S Bethlehem Pike, USA

First time here, the thing that impressed me the most was the service. The staff was friendly, responsive, and always around when you needed them. The bar/tavern atmosphere was what you expected for a Philly bar. But go birds is what your say while in town. The food, was meh. Had boneless wings, which were chicken nuggets and were full of gristle and not very good. The bone in wings were better. The nachos were good. I had the salad. It was good, but it needed croutons. The pizza was probably the best food that we had. I am not saying the food is terrible, it was good, but it was not great.

Have been to Fire side a few times. Bartenders are personable and efficient. Food is just OK. This time we had Buffalo Wings (hot/spicy) and “Lump” Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. Buffalo Wings were cooked well and Buffalo sauce was not too hot but to was a little too sweet. Mushrooms were a nice size but there was Not any evidence of lump crab meat. Last but not least, if you like country music, this could be your kind of place because that is all they play.

Wasn’t planning to come to this place.. we were in the area and thinking about pizza so when we were searching this came up so we had late lunch at fireside especially brick oven pizza. Have few tables in the front for outdoor sitting not sure about in the backside. Walk right in and didn’t know we can sit ourself without wait server to seated us like any other restaurants. Ordered sweet potato fries, chicken quesadilla and small margherita brick oven pizza. Great server, food and atmosphere we might’ve come back next time for more brick oven pizza.

If I could leave no stars I would. Firstly the lady who answered the phone had an attitude. We ordered 2 chicken quesadilla platters. My partner told me his tasted like nothing but onions. I bit into mine and taste nothing but cheese. Began opening the quesadillas and boom… the other was filled with nothing but onion. I was better off going to Wawa. I am beyond upset. I have to work 16 hours today and this was my only meal to rely on. Now I will be hungry until 7am.

Have been here before and it is always a little bit loud for my liking. Multiple TV's everywhere and a HUGE bar. The place gets really full and hype for football games, which is fun, but not a place for a relaxing dinner. The main selling point for Fireside is their bar, so the food is good, but it is a little bit noticeable that the restaurant doesn't have their main focus on it. Plus a $3 up-charge for fries from a bag of chips? Seems a bit much to me. Service has always been semi-professional when I have dinner here in the past. I went to a party of 12 people here in the past year and they were very accommodating with the sitting arrangements and splitting the check. But that was only with one server. Another time, we could never really find our waitress. She never really checked in with us for almost our whole meal and it was hard to find her when we wanted to pay. I guess it depends on who you get. Would definitely recommend as a party place for a drink and to see the game. Would somewhat recommend for a dinner with friends. I would not bring children here unless it was during the day and like a Tuesday or something. More homemade recipes and reviews on my ig: @TastyBitesbySophia

Great food. Great portions. The place is always got a good crowd..... so you know it's a good place to go. Great for games on TV. Many tvs in the bar area and in restaurant area. Family environment.

Awesome local bar. The boneless wings were some of the best I ever had-it’s all about the sauce! The food was hot and delicious and much higher quality than most bar food type places.

Good food at reasonable prices, burgers, wraps, sandwiches and dinner menu available. Place was quite busy for a Monday. Large bar area with several TV's, great place to watch sports.
