Spacious portions, good prices. Small, would make reservations, especially on weekends. Most people go with dog bags. Hosts and staff are very friendly. Often you take friends there. Had people from New Mexico, 14 people went there and everyone loved it.

The Fireline specializes in the above. Who could blame them? Repeat customers are desired. And the Fireline shells out the high quality mis ingredients. I have no objection to having a menu presented that is a heart attack on a plate, stroke city, or the pathway to diabetes. Just not my choice. But, when I encounter a menu with no Good For Me entrees I am in a quandary. I thought I could get away with a large salad and the addition of cold/steamed shrimp. This was early September and what I got was a plate heaped with the tasteless tough core of iceberg lettuce pale pale green], hard chunks of winter tomatoes, shreds of mozzarella cheese and 7 overcooked thus very chewy] flavorless shrimp $6 for 7 shrimp taken from the shrimp cocktail cooler]. My companion ordered nachos, was happy with the six or so of those eaten. There was a table with four near us, no one else in the dining room at that time. The owner wandered in, apparently scoped out what their tab would be and brought in samples of fried mozzarella and later a plate of samples from the dessert menu. The tab at our table was clearly not worth a single sample. NOTE to owner: don 't do that. Do not make folks at one table feel special and the folks at the other table feel like peasants. You learn this stuff in kindergarden. Be nice, be polite. Learn how to do a great salad. Treat your shrimp better as you cannot count on the shrimp being doused in cocktail sauce thereby disguising the lack of flavor and the overcooking. Oh, and get some healthy items on the menu. Salad especially touch pale iceberg is boring.

Best food around here. Wonderful owner and wait staff. It was especially nice around St. Patty's Day. Best to have reservations if you're bringing a crowd. read more Best food around here.
