The smoked wings with Bbq was delicious. The wings were done perfectly, just the right amount of rub/ sauce. The Mac n cheese is alright, kids would love that. I like the old school baked style.

First time here, Service was speedy and friendly. I ordered a cheeseburger medium well had a light char. My food came out pretty fast. The fries are actually really good. I really enjoyed them. Ambiance is super chill perfect for October 1st.

Second time ordering the veggie quesadillas. Full of fresh veg, seved w sour cream and good salsa and guacamole on the side. While busy on a lovely Wed night on the patio, service was good. Recommend.

I enjoy this lovely venue in Evanston. Firehouse Grill is in an old Firehouse and the space really is quaint and pretty. I always enjoy dining indoors, and on their lovely outdoor patio space. They have an attentive staff, and menu with a variety of interesting options. We recently stopped in for a late lunch. My husband and I enjoyed their basic Bloody Mary, which was spicey and perfectly made. We also ordered a veggie quesadilla, and it was perfect to share. If there is anything I need to do different, it's to try dining for dinner. We mainly dine for drinks or afternoon snacks, and the venue is perfect for that.

Boosting up my rating from my last review, although one thing remains the same: I've still never been here for a regular sit-down meal. I came here a few weeks ago for an end of the academic year happy hour event for one of the programs I teach in. This seems to strictly be an event space for me, which is a-okay. It's a great venue for events. It was a relatively small event in terms of number of people, but we had the entire second floor reserved, which was awesome. The service was great and prompt, and the food all looked great. They had an array of vegetarian offerings in our buffet (including caprese skewers, which looked amazing), and the vegan option was mixed roasted vegetables (primarily broccoli and cauliflower). I stuck with the vegan option as I'm trying to avoid dairy if I have the option to avoid dairy, and the veggies were roasted to perfection (although they were a little over salted -- definitely made me thirsty, but they did taste yummy!). They had several meat options as well, which looked and smelled good, but obviously I did not partake. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and went back for seconds. We also had an open bar, and they had several non-alcoholic options including 2 NA beers and 4 different mocktails (all of which use various sodas, juices, etc....i don't think they have any with NA spirits at this time). I love that they have that as an option, though, for people who prefer not to drink. I had the pomegranate mule and it was A+++.

My dear friend and her husband treated me to firehouse grill to celebrate my return home from the hospital. I've drove by many times and I am so glad I finally have the opportunity to try their food. I decided to have the breakfast sandwich, which consisted of bacon, fried egg, smoked pork, white cheddar on a ciabatta roll and served with breakfast potatoes. It sounded a lot of food. It was a lot of food and it was absolutely delicious! Apparently, the establishment was formerly a fire station. There are resemblance of it at least. Our waitress was super nice and checked on us a few times during our meal to make sure we are satisfied. The crowds were friendly and everyone seem to be enjoying their meals. There are parking available along Chicago Avenue and near by streets. Parking is free on Sundays.

I've lived less than 2 miles from here for five years and I never got around to trying it until this week! I was exhausted from work and really wanted a veggie burger, so I ordered delivery from here. I got a veggie burger and bacon cheeseburger and they came hot and everything tasted great and fresh. It comes with a side, I got fries and tater tots and enjoyed both. I would probably get the tater tots again next time. It was a little pricey but the food was good quality so I can't really complain!

My husband and I are frequent Firehouse Grill patrons due to convenience. They offer decent bar food and in the warmer months they open up the patio. Typical favorites of ours are their burgers, tater tots and cheese curds. My husband also likes their grilled cheese sandwiches. Pricing is typical for the area. Although they don't have a parking lot, parking is relatively easy to find on the streets. My husband recently went on a solo trip during a nice day and ordered fish tacos with tots to eat on the patio. Although prepared not how he usually prefers fish tacos, they were served blackened versus fried, he liked how the strip of fish served was solid and intact. It didn't fall apart or had a flakey texture. He did say there was a lack of season. He did save one taco for me to try out when he got home and afterwards I shared the same sentiment. It tasted flat. Despite the possible one off, He did want to give shot out to his server that day (CiCi) who was awesome and managed to remake a fresh batch of to go fish tacos and tots when he forgot to take them with him after leaving the restaurant and the busboys took his to-go away. Firehouse Grill is a good spot to visit for casual bar food with great service in Southeast Evanston.
