The Fireside Restaurant

Absolutely amazing southern cuisine with a twist. All of the items we had here were well balanced and delicious twists on classic Louisiana food. I had the shrimp with goat cheese grits. It has spinach and tomatoes in it which add good flavor. The goat cheese is not overpowering and made the dish really interesting. I sampled the bourbon salmon and jambalaya. The salmon was fantastic, hardly fishy, and tasted very fresh. The best part was the risotto pancake type thing. It was a perfect balance of creamy and seared risotto. The jambalaya was a little strong, a little too salty, but was still good and a tad spicy. It was loaded with sausage and chicken. Service was really excellent. Our waiter was attentive and helped us pick menu items. Overall fantastic experience, would definitely want to go again.

The food’s flavor is good, but all the things is too too too salty, even including the fries and the soup. We told the server that our soup is a little bit salty, but the jumblaya that comes after is even much more salty….. If it isn’t too salty, I would recommend this restaurant as the best we had in door county. The service and environment is very good though.

We had an AMAZING experience at Fireside this evening! Not only was the food excellent the service was extremely friendly, felt like we were hanging out in the dinging room of a friends house. We couldn’t have picked a better restaurant to enjoy while in Door County. This place is a must go!

Delicious food and fantastic service! Will definitely be back! I came here for my 50th birthday, prior to a Peninsula Players Theatre show with my sisters and daughter. It did not disappoint. I had the butternut squash ravioli, and the chocolate peanut butter whiskey cake. Both were excellent. The ravioli was in a brown butter sauce that enhanced the squash wonderfully. The decadent desserts served here are hand made and not to be missed! My daughter had the chicken nuggets and fries off of the kids menu. She loved the nuggets. They looked and tasted to be house made and not out of a box. My sisters had the shrimp and grits, and the French onion meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Beautiful presentation and lots of food, for all of us! They had beignets, a strawberry cake, and a gluten free berry ice cream dessert. All fantastic! Not a single complaint. Our server was also very helpful and had a smile the entire time. She actually seemed happy to be there and to be serving us. I was impressed. Try it! You won't be disappointed. Sorry, I don't have pictures of everything. Trust me, it was fantastic!

This restaurant was such an amazing find. The food was presented beautifully and delicious. The bread with the olive oil dipping sauce was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant. Zack, was our waiter and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Please go to Fireside for not just a meal but for the dinner experience, you will not be disappointed.

The food was outstanding! Donna had their strip steak special, I had the camel over house grits. Never had camel before. Loved it. Jerry's old-fashioned was very tasty. Zach our server was very informative and genial. We will definately be back!

Came up to Door County for some hiking with friends and stumbled upon this gem. We were looking for a restaurant that would allow our dogs to sit outside with us on the patio while we dined and they accommodated amazingly! Even brought out a water bowl for our corgis to hydrate while we ate. Our meals were incredible, I cannot say enough good words about the food and the service. Highly recommend to anyone!

I’m an observer and I pay attention to detail. I noticed that each server not only paid attention to their own table but helped out other tables as they walked by. Not one somber employee which told me they really enjoyed what they did and who they worked for. Then I watched who I assumed was the head chef come out serving food and was impressed. I haven’t seen this happen in years. I’m from the south and used to see this often, but again it’s been years. He too smiled and greeted others. Once we ordered and my grands colored (their coloring sheet was a dog) our server told them the owner which was the chef (the man I assumed) that was good dog and he loved kiddos. He just happen to be walking by and heard the convo. Introduced himself and talked to the kids about his fur baby. Great man and people all around. Then the food comes and not one word one spoken at the table. The food portions were overwhelmingly shocking. I travel for food. So I was shocked to see the portions for this type of establishment. You will not be disappointed. And the flavor, taste and combinations were nothing short of spectacular. I plan to return here every chance I get when I travel up north. Sorry about the food pictures we needed to try. I ordered the Borboun Salmon, friend had the jambalaya ,daughter had the chicken and waffles and grandson also had the kids chicken and waffles. Thank you amazing service!!

Fireside 3.0 has not missed a beat, food still of the best quality, friendly service and atmosphere and somehow they has managed maintain a reasonable price structure. Still the proud of Egg Harbor

Some of the best jambalaya we've had. Great little place in Egg Harbor with a warm old fashion vibe. Friendly staff, clean venue and plenty of parking. Hopefully they open back up next season, we would love to go back!

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!

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..

Very good meal. Got the salmon and it didn't disappoint. The risotto was spot on. I followed it up with the capt crunch cheesecake. The cheesecake wasn't as good as I hoped. Next time I should stick with the salmon and key lime for dessert.

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.

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.

Just 2 words: excellent food. Cajun food and all we had was outstanding. Fish of the day was cooked perfectly and came with nicely roasted asparagus. I highly recommend the shrimps and grits and the ribs. Both dishes had were flavorful and really well prepared. Good place to have a real meal prepared by a real cook and a good staff to help you enjoy the experience.

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. The prices were reasonable. We each had a flavored mule - delicious and the least expensive we had all weekend. We got there early on a Sunday, around 5:15 and were seated right away. It was packed by 6pm.

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.

My husband and I came on a Sunday evening .. We were Sat right away! our waiter was very friendly and gave us the specials .. Great service and Our Food was Amazing! My husband had the Chicken and Waffles, I had the Salmon with rice risotto, hands down best I've ever had ! Thank you ! We will be back 10 stars if I could

My wife and I are spending a week in Door County and this was our first night out. The Fireside was a great choice. After starting with the amazing Andoulie Hush Puppies, we knew we were in the right place to eat. This appetizer had an incredible chipotle aoli sauce. There was a lot of heft to them and they were really tasty. We shared two entries, splitting a special of swordfish with quinoa and their signature Jambalaya. Both were outstanding. The portion of the swordfish seemed a bit small, but it was cooked to perfection. Also, the quinoa had a kind of pico degallo-like mixture that really worked. Although the server didn't recommend it, we felt compelled to order the jambalaya because the general Cajun theme seemed to indicate this would be a natural option. Although the lack of a recommendation made me a bit nervous, it was also fantastic. The seasoning had great kick and the shrimp, sausage and other meats blended into a savory winner of a dish. However, I do want to be clear about this, our server was great. Attentive without being obtrusive and very friendly. The management were asking how things were and also seemed attentive, friendly, and appreciative of our business. I'm posting other reviews this week of hits and misses in our adventures in Door County. But. I can say without a doubt The Fireside is a big hit.

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.

We ordered the shrimp and grits, jambalaya and beignets. The shrimp and goat grits was just okay.. the grits was my favorite however i think the shrimp needs major improvements. More flavor and more of the veggies there was like 2 corn kernels and very little spinach etc.. i would have liked a saucy shrimp over grits i think that would be a great take on this dish. Now the jambalaya was way too smoky.. too heavy on the paprika i would suggest going easy that but again just an ok dish not worth the hype. Honestly the highlight of the dinner was the orange soaked beignets they were 2 huge pillowy dough filled beignets that we enjoyed thoroughly. Wish there was an option for just the regular ones though. I don't think I'd come back if the same meals were on the menu.

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.

Glad this restaurant has moved to Egg Harbor. This is a great addition to the dining options in the area. We stopped in for dinner on a Monday night and got a table quickly, but there was a line by the time we left 45 minutes later! We ordered glasses of wine from their decent wine list. The dinner selections were varied with Cajun inspired options, and a variety of other selections. We got a basket of tasty, fresh bread with local olive oil and balsamic. For entrees, I decided on the salmon, that came with a Sriracha sauce that was a nice kick, but not at all overpowering. The salmon was expertly cooked, and it came with tasty asparagus and mashed potatoes. My wife got Butternut squash ravioli. It was fantastic. Great, fresh taste with a blast of fresh flavors. Our server was great, the food came out very fast, and there were great selections in all parts of the menu. This will be on our list of places to return to on every visit to the area.

Outstanding food and service! Seriously one of the best. Hush puppies and Pork belly confits were wildly amazing!!! If you're on the fence, don't worry you will not regret it!! And don't skip dessert.

3.5 + stars. We had the hush puppies and empanada. Both were outstanding. Very flavorful. Tons of food. We could have added a salad and been done with dinner. I had the jumbalaya. I like it spicer but it is perfect for Wisconsin. Tasty. Filling. I also tried a side of the grits. Good but a touch bland. Oh. It was a goat cheese grits. To stuffed to eat desert. I'd go again.

Fireside is amazing. This weekend on our visit we came twice and had the Maytag Bleu Steak Tower, a special which was Camel and then special NY strip and salmon. All were incredible. The Maytag is a must. The hush puppies appetizer is fabulous. For dessert there is a captain crunch deep fried cheese cake which I don't even know what to say. It's absolutely delicious. The staff is so incredibly friendly. Drinks as well are great. Thank you Fireside for 2 superb meals!

Food was excellent, service was great, and the menu was well diversified. We highly recommend this place.

Since we visited during COVID, they were only seating outside. We had a nice table with an umbrella and very good service, I was disappointed in the cheese curd appetizer - small and nothing special. The wedge salad was also disappointing. However, the butternut squash ravioli, the chicken feta florentine and pork belly entrees were all really good. My husband ordered the camel tenderloin and said it was okay but now he can say that he ate camel!

I hate to be a naysayer given all the exceptional reviews ... and maybe because it's the off-season, the regular chefs are off ... who knows? But this place was a disappointment. First, we waited for a table in the lounge area. A glass of wine and an old-fashioned took about 20 minutes. In fact, by the time the drinks were ready, so was the table. We were told later the bartender didn't usually work Saturdays. Hmm .. Our table was nice and our server was friendly. I liked that she graciously thanked us for coming out (I assume she was alluding to Covid). It felt heartfelt. But the service plummeted from there. We ordered the lobster and andouille hush puppies, which were too big and nearly burnt. I couldn't taste any lobster, just a mouthful of cornbread that had a nice hint of spice. Four of these giant blobs of deep fried decadence was WAY too much for an appetizer, so instead of ordering what we originally planned, we opted to go lighter. My bf ordered the Caesar salad with shrimp and I opted for the wedge with shrimp. While we waited, we finished our drinks and water and sat for about 20 minutes with empty glasses (and empty appetizer plates). They may have been short-staffed because a woman wearing what looked like a bright pink housedress (remember those!?) started waiting tables and asking (loudly) other staffers if they needed help. It all just seemed terribly unprofessional for what was supposed to be one of Door County's "finer" spots on a Saturday night. When the food arrived, I was disappointed. I'd expected a sizable chunk of iceberg lettuce, which, to my mind, is the traditional "wedge" salad. In fact, I was served a small chunk of lettuce, two cherry tomatoes, bacon bits and a splash of bleu cheese dressing with four undercooked and cold shrimp. My bf's salad, however, was decent with a generous portion of well-cooked, well-seasoned salmon. I rarely complain at restaurants, especially these days, but the server asked and I answered that my salad was disappointing. She offered to bring me something else, which wasn't necessary, but she ended up covering our drinks (about $16). I tipped 20% because that's what I do, but I can't recommend it and I won't be back.

We came here after a recommendation from someone. Staff is very friendly. We had shrimp and grits, and the pork belly. All the food was delicious. Enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. Will definitely come back again.

This place only takes reservations for a party of 5 or more. Expect to have a long wait during peak hours for dinner. The pub area is open on a gust come first serve basis and serves the exact same menu. It is more louder in the pub area. If you want a more refined atmosphere wait for your table. The chicken pot pie had a nice buttery crust. Tons of chicken pieces and season just right with a nice mix of carrots and peas. Just wish that there was crust all around instead of a layer on top. The butcher block steak had a nice presentation. Steak was tender and flavorful. Overall had a nice dinner. The hostess and servers were super friendly.

If in Door County this restaurant should not be missed. First of all it's uber cool between the pub, the bar, the SPOT shop next door, the bagel shop on the other side and of course FIRESIDE restaurant. Like, who even needs another excuse to go? You don't! Just. Do. It! Everything on the menu is a Yes Please May I have one! But who can eat one of everything? No one. So go multiple times and bask in the deliciousness of Fireside. I personally am a Wedge Salad girl. Is it a downfall? Possibly. I should get an entree but if there is a wedge I have to order it. If there is a Salmon option I have to add it. However, I did partake in the entrees ordered at my table and Yowza! My mouth said YUM! Lobster Mac with visible lobster chunks. As it should be. Moist. Creamy. And savory. I would have liked to see a larger portion considering it is Mac and Cheese which is a super cheap fish to make outside of the lobster. It's not enough food for a grown man, in my opinion, but works for the ladies. So order an appetizer if you order this dish. Shrimp and Grits! Nice and heavy and perfectly seasoned. Again. A bit skimpy on the portion size for a grown man but it works for the ladies. Truly a New Orleans delight! The focaccia bread chunks and oil/balsamic dipping sauce was absolutely scrumptious! We got a second basket to enjoy. So yea. Go here!

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.

Great staff, great food! We are upset we didn't come here more! The fried chicken sandwich was fantastic! Calamari was also very yummy! The chicken was far from dry, best fried chicken I have had in a long time. if you are okay with waiting for 15-30 minutes, give this place a try!

We had a great experience on an evening in late December. Although busy, the chef/owner offered to make a special dish of jambalaya to adjust for a food allergy. The jambalaya was great, and the ribs were among the best I've had. We learned later that the place is a favorite among the local year-round residents.

Three bordering on four - I'd like to try again with in person dining. We ordered take out from Fireside for dinner our first night in Egg Harbor. It was ready promptly and the order filled correctly and completely. Everyone agreed that their meals were very good. The breading on my southern fried chicken sandwich was very tasty, but not fully cooked through in spots that left it hard to tell what was breading and what was maybe a fattier piece of chicken as it was dark meat. The tomato bisque could have used a bit of salt. Otherwise, we enjoyed the burgers and the jambalaya and would get both again. The portions are huge - which does somewhat support the price of each entree. It closes in on $20 for a sandwich and fries.

For a weekend trip to door county, we came to Fireside twice and loved pretty much everything we ordered. Some highlights- camel tenderloin, first time eating camel meat and it was phenomenal! The bbq ribs are seasoned with cherry glaze- I normally don't like BBQ sauce but this one bring that dish to another level. My husband tried the pork belly and loved that as well. The hosts were kind and accommodating. We highly recommend to any door county travelers!

Wow this was an unexpected and fabulous meal. We had 2 adults and 3 kids in our party. The staff was exceptional in attending to us and the kids. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. The kids had pasta and chicken. We had chicken with waffles and pork chops for dinner. Yummy! If I'm ever back in Door County we will return.

This was by and far the best meal we had in all of door county and we could not be more excited to rave about it and return! We left Sturgeon Bay because we couldn't find a halfway decent place to eat, so stumbling upon this place and having it absolutely blow us away was one of the highlights of our trip. Everyone at the restaurant was extremely friendly and while it might not seem like a kid friendly place, they do have a kids menu offering and we're accommodating to our toddler. Our entrées included the shrimp and goat cheese grits as well as the butternut squash ravioli. Both of them absolutely melted in our mouth and we instantly became wide-eyed in awe of the fantastic flavor. Both dishes were selected because they did not contain dairy, which is great for my allergy, and we were so impressed. We are already looking forward to returning to door County next year just so that we can come to fireside and be in foodie heaven. Compliments to the chefs!

I had higher expectations. We wanted a nice dinner with our family but this didn't quite meet the expectations. The food was ok but for the price, we've had better in door county for sure. My husband really enjoyed the camel. Besides the mediocre food and service, they are not family friendly and it was pretty obvious to us. It was really the only restaurant we felt a little unwelcome with our small children. For that, we would likely find elsewhere in the future.

Excellent meal! Very nice place in Egg Harbor. I had the jambalaya, my Wife had the half rack of ribs. My old fashioned was prepared to perfection. I also tried the tomato bisque soup as a starter; very tasty! The owner greeted us at our table and was very friendly, as was our server. I highly recommend the Fireside Restaurant.

We arrived at 6:15 for a table of 6. (My Father celebrating his 81st birthday). We started to walk in and an older woman (assume she was the owner) came out of nowhere. She stated they were "winding down their kitchen". (At 6:15 on a Saturday night). She indicated there would be no more indoor seating available and the outdoor would be at least one hour (though the young hostess had just indicated 20 minutes) and said sorry and looked away, obviously indicating she was not interested in our patronage. We had 3 children so it appeared she was not interested in us seated at a table within her establishment. Families with kids, beware. They are NOT family friendly. No problem though, as we went to Casey's and were treated very respectfully and the meal was great! When we walked back to our car at 8:15 (After Casey's and Grumpy's), it seemed everyone was still eating outside and it was not "winding down". We have stayed in Egg Harbor several times. We know we will NEVER again attempt to be a customer at this restaurant. There are far better non judgmental options in Door County.

5 stars is not high enough. Burger was amazing service from Nick even better. Please do yourself a favor and have a Hurricane cocktail and Sam's Burger.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We got there in Friday around 5:30pm with zero wait time. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive to our needs. My husband had the special mac and cheese and I had the jambalaya both were EXCELLENT! We finished the night with the chocolate beignets, super yummy! This was a perfect anniversary dinner.

We've visited Fireside back when they were in Ellison Bay, and we enjoyed our meal then, but this second visit was really very very good. We ordered out for curbside pick-up. We ordered at 5 p.m., and our dinner was delivered to our car at 5:30--exactly when they said it would be ready. Everything was well packaged and was definitely warm when we got it home; although, "home" for this week is Sister Bay, both dishes needed a quick "nuke" to be pipping hot--but that's not the restaurant's fault at all (we got stuck behind a van that never went above 20 miles). My husband order Chicken Feta Florentine which came with two sizable boneless chicken breasts and pearled couscous flecked with tomatoes and onions. He kindly offered me his second bite, which was a good thing, as he then commenced to polish off his plate. The chicken was very moist and flavorful, as was the couscous. If he had any complaint, it was that it disappeared far too quickly. I ordered the Monterey Shrimp and Goat Cheese Grits. I grew up in Kentucky and spent time in Mississippi and North Carolina. I know from grits. These are way fancier than the shrimp and grits I had in those places--and far more interesting and tasty. That is to say, there were a lot of shrimp in the dish (I didn't count--I was an English major). They were big, plump, and incredibly tender--which is an amazing feat when you think we're more than a few miles away from any ocean. They sat on a bed of creamy grits, with red and yellow cherry tomatoes and caramelized onions. My god they were slap-your-mama good. I could have easily had leftovers, but I ate all of those shrimp and my husband polished off the grits. Because of COVID, we were not comfortable having dinner at the restaurant, though, it seemed that the service was outside. Additionally, all the servers, the host, etc. were masked and the tables were spread apart--so if one is looking to have dinner there and does not have health concerns, the restaurant is doing its part. Had we had dinner there, we definitely would have had dessert and more than likely wine as well. The flourless chocolate cake still seems like the one that got away, so I guess we'll need to go back--again and again.

We decided to visit the Fireside Restaurant "Door County's Cajun Supper Club," after reading the glowing reviews here on Yelp. And Yelpers, you got it right! The restaurant is adjacent to a hotel. It's big, roomy and beautiful with high ceilings and - of course - a raging fireplace. We were greeted enthusiastically and were made to feel right at home. Our server, Melissa, was cheerful, helpful, and friendly. The food was really, really good. Lori ordered the Bourbon Sriracha Salmon, which she loved. I ordered the Way Beyond "Meatloaf," a vegetarian option. Both orders came with asparagus and was served atop roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Totally Cajun comfort food, totally filling, and totally excellent! Thanks for the recommendations, Yelp! We'll be returning to the Fireside before too long, I think!

OMG this restaurant is amazing from start to finish! Very clean, excellent menu, excellent service and a fabulous dining experience all around. Seriously - - - get the pork belly! Your mouth will thank me big time.

This was one of the best meals we had during our weekend stay in Door County. We all sampled each other's meals and everything was a hard hit!! Everything was so full of flavor and each had a unique spin on it. The steaks were tender and the pork belly was to die for. We also really enjoyed the fried cheesecake as a dessert. We celebrated some birthdays and were curious if there would have been a free dessert option, so it was a bummer to pay $18 for two birthday desserts, as the meals are not cheap. The food was stellar, though, and we will definitely be returning on our next trip.

Service and food were wonderful! Reasonable menu for a variety of price points. Good drink and beer list too. Regulations for COVID were great. Tables were well spaced and servers wore masks. The owner even came up at the end of our meal to ensure it was a good experience. Must visit while in town!

This restaurant was simply fantastic. We had Salmon and steak dishes. Both were excellent. Some of the best food we have ever had. This restaurant is an absolute must!!!!

Food was good, server was good, but food took over an hour. I ordered shrimp and grits...not a real complicated dish.

Food was delicious, our waiter, Mike, was good.....BUT we waited well over one hour for our food....and it wasn't that complicated at all. So, be prepared.... Won't go back......

Food was so amazing I forgot to take photos! The pork belly was possibly one of the best meals we've had in a long time. It literally melts in your mouth! Tuna appetizer was also delicious! And the half ribs were good. Not quite as amazing at the pork belly, but good.

Great meals! There were four of us and we ordered the chicken sandwich (no cherry aioli), the ribs, tenderloin and chicken and waffles. All were fantastic! There was a bit of a wait, but duh it's door county in the summer and COVID19. Our waitress was Nadia- could not be better! Funny helpful and fast!

Currently, only outdoor seating is available but the outdoor area is very nice! Our waitress was very attentive and the service was fast. The food was very good and reasonably priced! I thoroughly enjoyed both the cheese curds and the sesame ginger kale salad.

My husband and I had dinner there last night, I had the salmon and it was very good, my husband had the so called prime rib; which was very tough, a third of it was tough meat another third was gristle and fat that a steak knife could not cut, maybe a third was tender enough to enjoy. Waitress came by and asked how we liked our meal. I said fine my husband mentioned the problem with the prime rib-not sure if it was prime rib because of the toughness,he felt it was a steak not prime rib, she suggested he should try the other end- which he had already tried and it also was tough and gristle, so In order to get to the center 2/3 had to be cut away. After the initial encounter we never saw the waitress again until it was time to pay!

This place is a complete gem. The menu is fantastic with creative combinations such as Lobster and Andouille Sausage hush puppies. I've never seen someone do that before and man did it work. The mac and cheese was a perfect combination of spicy and cheesy and the bourbon salmon was perfectly cooked. If you come for dinner on a weekend without a reservation you will likely have to wait 30 minutes or so for a table or you can eat in the bar. We ate in the bar area at a table by the fireplace which worked perfectly.
