Fireside Deli & Family Restaurant Reviews
Food was fantastic! I went to brunch so I could order breakfast and a normal menu too. So many yummy menus. It was difficult to choose one. The waitress was so kind. I arrived around 12pm so some people were wanting it because it was Sunday I think. Now it is getting cold so please wear warm clothes. They have a tent but it was a little cold.
Food very good. Had the chicken Souvlaki and it was awesome. Coffee good. Others had the ribs and tilapia. My parents have been going here for years. Tried it for the second time in many years. Really enjoyed the comfort food and ambience!
Hands down, the best restaurant in the city. The food is consistently delicious, well-prepared, and made with fresh ingredients. The menu offers great variety without being overwhelming, and every dish we tried had amazing flavor and presentation. Prices are more than fair for the quality you get, excellent value, especially considering the generous portions and top-tier service. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and everything was handled with care and professionalism. It's rare to find a place that balances quality, price, and experience so perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone visiting or living in the city. P.S. There’s a lovely server with two little side buns in her hair, incredibly kind, helpful, and full of charm.
We had a wonderful experience at Fireside Deli & Family Restaurant! Nicole was a fabulous server, very attentive but not in your bubble. Great prices and even better food! I got the Liver and onions, he got the Hot Hamburger... We already know what to order next time! Excellent (not so) little spot!
Atlantic Benedict was amazing Try their Irish Coffee too. Overall great food and amazing staff. Lots of love from Windsor ON. We are definitely coming back when in the area.
Im a huge fan of their smoke meat sandwiches. My wife loves their soulvaki plate. And their pies are on another level. We moved here recently, but I think we found our home diner to go to as loyal customers. PS. Their mashed potatoes are insanely good!
We’ve been coming here for years to celebrate bdays! Yesterday we ordered chicken souvlaki plate 18.99 it’s one of my favourites! Two chicken skewers, rice, fries and Greek salad. You can change the meat to beef, pork or have one of each if you prefer. I prefer chicken because it’s so juicy and tasty! When you eat this plate one is too full to enjoy dessert however they have plenty of options to choose from. Well worth the visit Fireside is super busy this place is constantly busy because they truly are on top of everything!
The food was excellent & our server (Esther) went above and beyond to make sure our group was well taken care of. We were impressed that with such a large menu, everything was so carefully made and beautifully presented. The sauces on the meals were well made (English cream, hollandaise), and the portions were generous. I've never seen so much salmon on a restaurant eggs Benedict! Even the single serve syrups were tasty. They are one of the few breakfast places to serve a proper fruit cup with good variety. The banana bread French toast was a unique treat. I'm usually a waffle person, but this menu item is too good to pass on. The French vanilla cappuccino was perfect. The experience was good from start to finish. We had constant attention & and check-ins, and a small mixup was fixed on the house very immediately. Everyone was complimenting the wonderful menu and service. The decor is a little dated, but the full seats are an indication that people still return for the quality of the actual food and experience. They aren't super pricey compared to a lot of places, so they've definitely hit a balance. We intend on returning in the future. Edit: we returned to try out the dinner menu and were just as pleased. The ribs were fall-off the bone and moist with a perfect char. The home made burgers were juicy and well topped on fresh buns. The fries were clearly prepared in very clean oil. They had a ton of fan favourites to choose from, and though the dinner menu isn't as trendy as some places, they nail all the classic dishes. Dessert was an absolute delight - we had a wonderful nutty fudge brownie that was perfectly warmed to contrast the vanilla ice cream. Final comment is that this wonderful experience was had near closing... And it didn't matter. They were just as cheerful with us as every guest they served all day. We weren't rushed and were made to feel absolutely welcome. They may not have the late night happy hours, but I'd much rather get myself there for dinner service and enjoy the experience this place has to offer. They remember how to serve for the smiles and what real food should be. Other establishments should take a lesson or two from them on how to make the perfect guest experience.
