Ah, a night without the kids! And what do we do? We hit up another fish fry!
The Fireside is a local joint that we have heard much about. A church we are familiar with has a Beer and Bible night there once a month, local politicians like having rally/meetings there, and from what I had heard, they make some really good meatloaf (I happen to think my meatloaf is really good and have had a ton of people compliment it, so I am rather scared to try another. What if it really is better than mine? What if it is worse and now I have to eat this monstrosity that I paid too much for? What if... Sorry, I'm a bit off track).
My wonderful hubby and I decided to give the Fireside a whirl. What have we got to lose?
Once we got to the bar/restaurant, we only had to wait for a little while before we were seated. Our server asked if we would like the fish or see a menu and took our drink order. As it is a lounge/restaurant/bar, there is full bar service with many drink options.
After we ordered the food, we took in the atmosphere. I would say that it leans more toward a bar with full food service, rather than a restaurant with drinks. It kind of has the "Cheers" vibe going, people are calling to others from across the room, the everyone knows someone kind of place.
When our food arrived, it was battered and fried fish, cole slaw, and french fries. The fish was nice and crispy, decent. The cole slaw was served in a little cup, but the french fries were plentiful.
The Fireside serves its fish fry year round, it just advertises the fish fry during Lent as another place for people to go.
Honestly, the food was fine, but really nothing special at all. At least at the churches you get a dessert after you eat your fish. I wouldn't mind going back to the Fireside, but I think I will try the meatloaf the next time.
