Fireside Chophouse Bar & Grill

The old grey mare....We heard that this had been a top notch steakhouse and decided to try it out. The service was good. The food was only passable. This is NOT a steakhouse, in the proper sense. Fair for large groups but wholly unsatisfying for a steakhouse experience. Way too thin cuts of meat, very limited choices, no wine list to speak of, and no accoutrements (sauces, veggie sides, add-ons). Think Ponderosa and you will not be disappointed.

Food and service equally trash! My family and I went to Chilli's up the street. Ambiance was dull! Wish I could rate ZERO stars.

Food was really good. Service was great. Francine was so sweet and kind. We weren't expecting much when we arrived honestly but we were pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. My youngest who is very picky loved the kids pasta. We got the crab cake for appetizer and it was very good and I'm very picky about my crab cakes. Definitely recommend stopping by when in Williamsburg, Va!

The food was not good, I can't speak for the whole menu, but I can speak on the grilled salmon, broccoli and carrots, and baked potato. Salmon was alright, veg was edible, and baked potato was lukewarm and in aluminum foil! WTH? Worst way to cook baked potatoes. I will not be coming here again, however it was quiet and cheap. The prices are not bad at all. Shrimp cocktail was delicious. Cheap and cheerful.

Came here to grab some dinner after a 10 hour roadtrip, we definitely weren't dressed to the nines, and they immediately stuffed us in a corner far in the back which was a little odd but okay, whatever, nice waiter, attentive, got the orders right, friendly etc but the food, oh my god the food. My husband said it was the worst burger he's ever had, and I spent the night hugging the toilet bowl after trying their flounder (which was supposed to be stuffed but was just a fried piece of fish). So yeah, don't recommend. I'd give zero stars if I could and if it wasn't for the waiter.

Please god do not waste your money here. Overpriced, flavorless, and very bad quality. Steak is microwaved, potatoes are from powder, and did I mention it's over priced? Just go to Aberdeen please.

Sure, the reviews for the Fireside Chophouse aren't great, and I admit they caused me some concern. Overall, I don't believe the low rating is justified. I enjoyed my Seafood platter - the broiled scallops were the star, so soft and tasty, the crabcake was my least favorite but ok. The service was fast and friendly, Jamar was polite and made us laugh several times. And the cocktails were strong and really good. The spinach artichoke dip was good but could benefit from something better than ordinary corn chips. I would recommend you avoid the mashed potatoes though -, while not bad, they're definitely powdered. The baked potato has to be better choice. The hot dinner rolls were crunchy on the outside and soft inside, very good. The prices are more than reasonable, especially compared to some other places in town! I'm not sorry we finally tried the Chophouse.

Staff was friendly. But people go to restaurants to eat GOOD food. And I'm sorry, but my meal was subpar. At best. Onion soup was cold and flavorless. I had a salad and "steak" and the "steak" had to be leftover "meat material " from last week. It was bad. Hate to say it but it was bad. My salad - nothing fresh about it - nothing. Sorry - can't offer anything positive from the food perspective.The waiter - again - was nice.There are sooooo many more good restaurants within walking distance of this place. Advise you seek them out.

Party of 8 had no problem getting reservation. Ambiance was nice with white table cloths ! Five in our party ordered steaks- all were under cooked, for example a steak ordered medium came back med-rare, nearly rare. Seafood (salmon& scallops) also undercooked. Metal flatware (knife-fork-spoon)was delivered wrapped in cloth table napkins. More than 2 of 24 were dirty with washer soap and not sanitary to use. Serving staff was friendly and courteous. No one in our party would likely return or recommend to friends.

the waiter walked off with our IDs, my husbands steak looked microwaved and was grey, we and the one other couple were looking at eachother like "where are we right now" the whole time. the ambiance was older but would have to be the best part. I don't enjoy leaving a bad review but please don't waste time or money here.
