Fire By The Monon

We chose to eat and early dinner here and Google Maps struggled to direct us to the restaurant. After driving in circles we arrived and secured a front row parking space. Inside we were greeted and quickly seated, but the service was a little slower than expected for the number of other guests there. We ordered a couple of holiday cocktails, which were delicious and strong. Our dinner arrived fairly quickly, but the flavor missed the mark a bit. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with sautéed mushroom, and the chicken was a little tough with a Smokey flavor that seemed to overpower the sandwich. My wife had the fish and chips and the batter was pretty thick and not as flakey nor flavorful as it could be. The fries were okay, not very crisp but the star of the plates was the aioli to dip them in. Maybe the cook was having an off night… but we wished we had tried one of the other entrees. We would definitely return for the cocktails.

This place truly lived up to the hype. I myself am not a big fan of cod. They're fish and chips definitely changed my mind. The meal was outstanding you could taste the attention to detail they put in preparing the ingredients. My compliments to the waitstaff , hostess and cook. Thank you for a delicious meal. One of the staff members Jacob had him for me that they occasionally sell swordfish which is one of my favorites. Not only did Jacob do an outstanding job but he actually took the time to have a conversation and see how we can make my experience in the future better. I highly recommend this place.

I've been here a couple times and have always been impressed by the service and food. I like the relatively wide selection of ciders that are very reasonably priced, and their salads that are loaded with toppings. The attached food is the cobb salad with chicken added and the chicken special which came with mozzarella, pesto, and balsamic. The food came out quickly and our server was quick to make sure the food was to our liking. The serving sizes are very generous, especially for the price.

Great food and a great staff. The pulled pork is definitely the star of this restaurant. Hubby had the Tug of war and I had the fish and chips, which were fine but not as amazing as the pulled pork. I would pass on the onion rings since for us the batter ratio was too heavy. We will definitely be back!

A wonderful spot with incredible food and superb service. Our waiter was the best! We called ahead to see if our large party of 8 could be accommodated and the host was hilarious. He asked us (jokingly) to sprint and arrive sweaty in order to get the table. 🤣🤣🤣 We had four kids in our party and they were thrilled with the crayons and kids’ menu! The portions were huge!! The kids’ menu had fun drinks for the kids and our two little ones split the delicious Mac and cheese. Everything was so so good! It was only $100 for the 8 of us and we brought home a full meal to have later. Definitely a go again. Highly recommend! The area is so cute too. A lot of little shops to walk around and see.

The food we ordered was excellent. The attached photos show a smoky bear burger and the Cuban burger. First of all, the portions are huge so arrive hungry! The value is incredible for what they charge. Additionally, this might be the only place in the last 2-3 years that has known how to cook a burger properly. The beef patty they use is thicker and cooked to order (they were able to cook them medium and medium rare as requested). The fries were hot and fresh and the service was as quick as could be expected for made to order food. We will be excited to return in the future.

Mary was a good server, very sweet. They were really busy on a Sunday and Mary seemed to have lots of tables and was doing her best :) the food options aren’t extensive and we had a hard time finding something we wanted. I didn’t love the fish tacos (dry tortilla, liquidy sauce, and tasteless cabbage). The Mac and cheese also wasn’t amazing, maybe 7/10. Worth a try, the fries are great at least and the service was great!
