Reviews of FireSide Classic Grill (Painter)

Robert Redmond

Delicious dinner. Shrimp, rice and veggies, so good!

Lionel Crockett

Great service and the food is always good here!!!

Sandra Predinchuk

Very nice cozy place. Good food and friendly staff. My only thought is the deep fryer needs new grease. Seems to have a flavor.

Meghan Campbell

Awesome service and awesome food.

Frederick Platt

2nd time here up visiting my parents. Great meals, plenty too choice from. Sorry no pictures.

Lorne McIndoe

Always like eating there always good food.. Just didnt like the new menu!! It was very confusing with all the adds.

Joannie Yurchuk

Clean and nicely decorated. Jerk chicken tacos were excellent!

Stephanie Maione

This place was very cozy inside, we had fireplace seat. The waitress was great the entire visit. Food was served hot and quickly. Prices were on point for the quality of food. I think the greek salad needs improved to more of an authentic one but other then that no issues with the meals.

Terri Bresolin

Wednesday all burgers are $9 each DELICIOUS

Andrew “HayBoy” Hay

My first time here and really enjoy it. Menu is great, food is amazing!! Athomosphere is very welcoming. If you're in Elliot Lake and are looking for a break, this would be a great spot!!

Ewa Przymus

The food served to our large party was mostly good and met most of our expectations. The unsmiling waitress came across as uncaring and aburpt. The concensis at the table was that next gathering would be elsewhere.

Erika Kadar

Awesome service a little expensive but worth it.

Marc Gyges

I've stayed in Elliot Lake maybe 100 days last year and 30 the year before. Fireside is a good restaurant, good staff and decent food. They also have some good beer on tap other than your standard wash water domestic stuff. Beef ribs are excellent.

Anne Dahmer

Once again superb service. Our server was Kathy (again) we just absolutely adore her. She was on the ball. She deserves a huge raise ;) ;) for real hands down best service ever. The food was amazing. Good size portions for a decent price.

Anto Vrdoljak

I come here often but tonight doesn't even deserve the one star. We made a reservation to celebrate my daughters birthday. We were seated right away and completely ignored by our server. No drinks, nothing. We watched as several other tables arrived after us and got their drinks and ordered their meals. After twenty plus minutes another server finally spoke to our server (Dave) don't know how the rest of the evening will go as I'm still sitting here.

Donna Wade

Love this place. Live entertainment on Thursdays is always fun. Great wings.

Mike and Lee-Anne Properties

Dave our waiter made our stay very enjoyable! Keep this one! Elliot Lake fine service and great food! Thank you

Karen Robinson

On Dec. 23/18 thirteen members of my family had an early X-mas dinner at Fireside and what a treat it was. Not only was the seating arrangement in a private area, the food was to die for---not one complaint from any of us about the food--the service was excellent and I consider this place a first class establishment.

E Jervelund

A place I once thought was strictly for meat eaters gave me a welcome surprise: I was served a vegetarian mushroom raviolis, with a fantastic pesto sauce. :D By the end of the dish, the only thing i wanted, was more. Thursday's wing night has the place hoppin with live music from local artists.???? Maybe we will soon see some vegan wing options added to the menu. ???? Decent food options for the whole family. Great community vibes! Thank you for your inclusivity, easy access and Great service! Best place to eat in Elliot Lake!

“FIRE SIDE CLASSIC GRILL” Well, we went there just befor the day of lockdown stay home orders in Ontario. The restaurant was as it was a GOOD FRIDAY. This was our first time and being vegetarian we didn’t know exactly what to order. But we were helped by the person who was assisting us and she gave us some good options. The drinks we ordered were super awesome, I liked mine as I ordered Malibu it was coconut based a bit sweet but too good. Nachos were awesome and so as the the veggie burger but the sautéed veggies were really too bad it was too sweet and we did not eat it at all. Hope to visit again ????

Chris Zagar

Very nice restaurant, misserable server. But good food. Update: we went back after 3 months, and we had a much better experience, the server that we had was very busy, so we did see other servers take orders from people who arrived after us, however we found that to be acceptable, because once our server was free, she was very quick and able to get our drink orders and food, and it came in under 9 minutes (not that I was timing it lol) but we actually really like the environment at this restaurant, we just happened to go on a very busy night, with a huge table in our section... I highly recomend eating here, great selection, nice sports bar vibe, very cozy, and excellent food, we liked everything that we ordered, and were really picky eaters... thank you FireSide.

Symon Sez

Good place to eating and having a nice Cold on tap beer

mark smith

Decent food, but very pricey. Nice, sophisticated but cozy atmosphere. Not too loud inside the restaurant. Usually good service.

Deborah Marry

Friendly staff, great food and calming atmosphere. This was our first time at this restaurant and we will definitely be back!

Keith Kisser

Love it great food and service

Sean Burns

Great food awesome service. Will definitely visit again

Brenda Jones/Atkinson

As my friend said...never order a Chinese food plate in a steak house. Varied menu. Always busy..even on week nights,

Canadian_Halo _

Food is always great. I travel to Elliot Lake about 2 times a month and eat here about 8-10 times a year. They always have great specials and they seem to change the menu up every 6-8 months.

Kim

Lovevit there and nice to see folks out to support business. Plus their online shop... So good

Cathy Oprisan

We waited over an hour 1/2 for our fish dinner..

Northern Boy

Just had takeout with delivery, was amazing, delicious best takeout I can remember. Halibut was amazing mushroom caps and cheese sticks perfect. Great delivery as well ????????

L H

The restaurant was nice and clean looking, the waitress was not very knowledgeable on her products ie. Daily specials, The menus were on photocopied paper and reused ( handled) by everyone. ,the hand sanitizer was also empty ,did not like how we had to walk past the people walking in on our way out to crowded, food was hot ,not all that special, should have went back to George's restaurant!!!

Jordan C

Best fried chicken in town

Kaella-Marie Earle

thom arnold

Delicious food, friendly staff, rather on the pricey side

Cecil Code

Really nice atmosphere no matter what time you go there!

Adam David

The best ever stake, shrimps and toffee

Sarah Voigt

Great neighborhood spot. Stopped in here this week and had a great meal and quick service. Seems like a good local spot.

Eric Goodyear

Over priced, over rated, & small portions! What an utter disappointment. It would have cost me less to drive to SUDBURY, and go to RED LOBSTER! At least I would have got TASTY, FRESH DISHES at a cheaper price! Fireside should be embarrassed by their RIDICULOUS prices!

June Emerson

Service was amazing as usual . Food was great. Great atmosphere.

Tammy Mathieu (Mamma T)

Over cooked burger and I feel like chef Mike cooked My frys because they looked and tasted like they came out of the microwave. The patty had so much pepper on it, it burnt my mouth off.

A 2 Z

Great service, excellent food. Liz was a great waitress.

Alishia Townsend

Yummy food and great prices

Steve Taylor

My first time there. Good food and service. I was in Elliott Lake for the weekend.

Excellent customer service and food. Tasty and filling. Love this place. Great food. Great service.I will return.

Dan Gagnon

Great food and service, but like most restaurants they are getting a little pricey.

Janet Robinson

Tomato bisque soup is amazing! Perfect for a day like today.

Nick Kempel

First time there. The staff was great. They made sure we received everything we ordered was served in an amazingly short time. Well done great staff. We will be back food was excellent.

Jeanne Lemaire

Joey Joejoe

Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about gluten free options. A bit expensive and the atmosphere was loud. Food was good and service was quick.

Amanda Pearson

Our favorite place for a quiet, scrumptious meal

S Kopp

Great breakfast! I love the atmosphere at this restaurant so warm and welcoming. Easily one of the best restaraunts in Elliot Lake.

B Tizzle

Service was amazing their menu and everything off it is delicious if you're in the area it's a must stop!!

Gagnon G

We stopped here last night for dinner and were very pleased. Our server John was great! What a sense of humour and very attentive to our needs. Food was great, great atmosphere too, and fair prices! (you have to try the warm pecan pie!). Will definitely go again when in Elliot Lake! Thanks John for you great service!

Bruce Ewald

Great food. Happy staff. What you would expect from a 20$ per plate restaurant. Parking is very limited. Portions are equivalent to 11 year olds eating habits. A “once in a blue moon” restaurant.

Robin Fralick

Great food, great service. 100 percent satisfied!!

Adam Orsini

We went there for my husbands birthday on wing night, he had the naked wings with sauce on the side and he said they were very good, I got the crunchy breaded ones and I could not eat them they were way too salty. I think cutting back on the salt these would have been great because the flavor was there.

Sheila Meade

Great service from friendly staff. Limited draught selection, in definite need of good competition. The menu selections need some work. Looking forward to post-pandemic improvements...All the best! It's always nice when owners respond, so thanks for that. When I said the menu needs work I wasn't suggesting the paper was a bad idea. Its what's on the menu I guess that wasn't very appealing to me. You do have a lot of draughts but not much in the premium category (Heineken, Stella, Guinness) ...anyway, if you're happy, then all is good man. Here's to better days ahead!

David Wade

The only real restaurant in town but that doesn't matter to them. Staff are friendly, food is good, portion size is great and the prices are fair. Decent draft selection. I went several times.

Corey Beeson

Food was tasty, service fast.

Sheila Wallick

Had several meals at Fireside Grill while visiting Elliot Lake. I have a nut allergy and the staff were extra attentive to my order, much appreciated. The staff is pleasant, the food is great and the atmosphere is friendly and entertaining. It's the best restaurant in town.

Miker One

Our group enjoyed supper at this establishment this evening. The server was excellent, and the food was exactly what we ordered. It was delivered on time it had a good crowd and we enjoyed what the Manitoulin brewery had to offer. Thank you to the kitchen staff and all those who helped us enjoy our visit.

Colin Mathis

We stopped here on a bike trip around northern Ontario. Our waitress was friendly and put up with our bad jokes and had a few good ones of her own. She knew the area and gave us a few places to see. The food was great ...try the meatloaf burger. Hi Tammy!

Leeandra Cavanaugh

Ordered an "Andrews Breakfast" and wow it was so delicious!!!! Service was also great.

Sabrina England

Great place to have dinner .. food was very good no complaints. Price was a tad high but to be expected.

Amey Thompson

Would give zero stars if I could. Because of the zero respect for paying customers, zero experience by most employees, and zero chance I will spend one more dollar there. Is this dive still owned by Andrew? If so, good luck selling. If you are the new owner, you might want to get out quick!

James Gloster

Great food and service, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere

nanook8143

Allison, She is just the best possible. Go say hi. Good times ahead

S B

Well what can I say. The food is mostly frozen and the microwaves are used more than the grill. The kitchen manager uses other people’s ideas, uses them as their own and gives no credit to the real cooks. The owner records audio of his staff with the video and uses that against them. (Illegal without staff knowledge) I will be reporting them to BBB and also with the labour board. This is a warning to anyone who wants to work here. This is a fair warning. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Carolyn Seguin

Great food and service. Best in town by a long shot.

Mark

Cozy environment especially in the Winter - we all tend to fight over trying to get the table by the fireplace! Good selection on the menu to cater to most tastes including vegetarians. Service is great and friendly. The washrooms are clean and there is also a Disabled Washroom with a proper raised toilet. Great place to go.

Robert Honsberger

My family and I orderd from fireside for dinner tonight. First time we got delivery from them and I actually stopped eating to type this because um so impressed!!!!! The mushroom caps and dip have to be the best I have ever had. We got a variety of stuff and everything was perfect and delicious. It came hot and packaged very well. Thanks for a great dinner fireside!????

Alan Needs

Great service , great food, best restaurant hands down in Elliot Lake

G. P

Good food. Friendly service. Can't ask for much more!

jim Coughlin

Would love to go here and enjoy a nice meal but tired of getting the same rude disrespectful waitress ..

Uwe

Loved visiting Fireside! By far the best spot to eat in Elliot Lake. Great atmosphere, great food.. But the service is what blew me away. John was our server and made us feel right at home. Very fun personality, had us laughing the whole time we were here. 11/10 would return. Highly recommend!!

Sandra Kelterborn

Ate here twice, the beef stir fry was great. Smaller portion thou. Desert poutine was really good. Their Greek salad is trash, worst I have ever had. My daughter ordered the chicken souvlaki the first time and loved it. Tried thr sweet and sour chicken and hated it. Server wouldn't remove it from the bill after we told her she didnt what to eat it but she took 5 bucks off.

Sophia Gagnon

John treated us well and we had a wonderful time. Food and atmosphere are fantastic.

Jusith Foucault

Came here for an early dinner on Tuesday. Place wasn't busy but the service seemed slightly rushed and terse. The food was good and I liked the environment. Maybe a little on the pricier side for the serving but was still worth it. Desserts were very reasonably priced. Interior looked clean and modern. I would definitely go back and give something else on the menu a shot.

Dave Curtis

Great service great food

Mathew P

Excellent customer service and food. Tasty and filling. I will return. Aww ribs.

Tammy Guindon

Always been clean good stuff And taste food

Joe Bradley

The service was excellent and we enjoyed our dinner. Great sweet potato fries and shrimp. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Coffee is the best I have had in a long time. It was a wonderful time with friends. Our server was great. Fun, very competent and you couldn't ask for better. Great evening.

DJN

would give a million stars if I could ! Best food in town hands down :)

Keith Askme

We moved to Elliot Lake 16 months ago and have dined often at the Fireside. I really enjoy being served by the two male servers and the older female server. They are not only efficient but lots of fun! The food is delicious every time and I get a lunch to go from my dinner plate. The live entertainment on Thursday evenings is a nice touch and something nice to look forward to. When my family comes up from the GTA, they always want to have at least one meal there!

Jon logan

Service was outstanding and so was the meal.

Jeff Xx

Excellent food, friendly service.

Candis Reid

Love this place, only second time I’ve eaten here but food is amazing and staff so friendly!

Matthew B

Very friendly staff. Genuine small town feeling. Very clean, OK decor... Good value for the price. Most of the menu items home made. Fries outstanding. As an aside, they have both gendered and unisex restrooms.

Pierrette Cote

Every time we go here we try something new and have NEVER been disappointed. Very friendly and helpful staff and waiters and waitresses.

Retirement House Rentals

Food was not done two what was asked

Sara

Food was very good, proper portions. Good selection as well

GM G

The service was great, our waitress was Laurie, lovely person. I had Nacho with beef, not much beef and cheese on it, disappointing but lots. It's the first bad nachos I have had there.

john lorenz

The worse fish and chips special I have ever seen. Mushy, small portion and the fries dry and over salted. I could not eat it. I hope I do not get sick from the small amount I tried. Zero stars for this place. Do not go there

Tim Derasp

Excellent Fish Tacos. Nice ambiance.

M Man

I was surprised by the awful service we received from our waitress. Apparently she’s friends with the owner so maybe she gets away with that type of behaviour. The poor quality of my meal was also surprising. It was much better in the past. I come home to visit and usually eat here every time, but the quality is sliding. I think I’ll forget about this place. (Rating& review from 2021)

Dine in

Donna Shead

The Tuesday rib special included two bites of warm coleslaw . The small two bite container sat beside the slightly warm fries . I gave the driver a $ 5.86 tip . Never again . Thank you for the response , I'll keep in mind that in future cold items will be separate from hot .
