Firehouse Grill

Small clean pleasant dining room filled with firefighter memorabilia obviously. May or may not be an old firehouse. Country music. Friendly table service. Fries were the common frozen variety and not seasoned well. Burger was a nice hand-formed patty but cooked too long on a grill that was not hot enough so a bit dry and lacking flavorful char. Bun appeared grilled but was dry and cold. Vegetables were fresh and crisp. Would be reasonably priced ($7 for 1/2 lb. burger with fries) had the preparation been better. Unfortunately, another average burger joint that did not live up to the reviews. Restrooms are shared with other building tenants and are kind of disgusting.

Stopped in for lunch before hitting the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails. Had the roast beef panini with sweet potato fries which was delicious. They also have a unique cinnamon dipping sauce for the fries. Service was excellent, although the only issue I would point out is that certain items on the menu are not available all the time. I guess this is due to not having a large enough kitchen to serve the full menu all day long.

The employees were nice, but the service seemed a little more slow than the food was worth. My fiancee got the catfish plate and I got the large shrimp cocktail. They didn't taste awful, but they didn't seem to be worth the money spent on them. He got a little bit of okra and a scoop of mashed potatoes as a side for like 3 pieces of fried catfish and my shrimp cocktail was shrimp on a cocktail cup with ice and sauce on the side. Every shrimp cocktail I've ever seen had the sauce in the cup. I'm not sure how much his fish was, but the shrimp wasn't worth $12. It just didn't seem like much effort was put into our food.

We stopped in Saturday, Jan 5th, 2019. We met with a very special person. I do not want to share the reasons but his story is simply an incredible life journey through survival. Everyone's food was fine except mine and it should have never made it to our table. I ordered the Burger/Fries.... I could see the top bun was burnt with a 2.5" circle on top and my wife noticed it. Upon holding the burger to my mouth I could smell the Burntness, Then noticed that the entire bottom bun was extremely burnt. I tore off what I could and did not want to ruin our visit with our special friend. I did tell the waitress, and she should have taken the plate without hesitation after seeing it. I ate what I could and then when getting close to finishing, 2 staff went to the frt of the building to smoke and a huge plume of cigarette smoke floated in the door. When we received the bill I was surprised to see the burger on the bill. I paid and then after opening a gift we left and one of the cooks was out smoking and we had to walk thru this to our car. She threw the still burning cigarette onto the road. On the drive home, the burnt smell remained on my fingers. Thought I should bring this to your attention and may I suggest staff may consider watching some restaurant resurrection TV shows. Or Gas Monkeys "Garage Rehab" show because of all the same principles apply. Your Business has all the right winning qualities if the staff can pull it together. Do not be fooled by the multiple good reviews.

We chose to eat dinner at this restaurant because we like to give our business to locally owned places. The food was pretty good overall. Sweet potatoes fries were great! Unfortunately, our service was not great. We stood at door for a WHILE waiting to be seated. We ordered our food & then I'm pretty sure we were just forgotten about until we asked about our order (about 45 min). We saw two tables seated, order & get their food before us. Our food would have been much better if it had been fresh hot instead of sitting under a heat lamp.

Awesome grilled shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes, onion rings are totally homemade, great chicken fried steak and the gravy is great too! Very nice and attentive wait staff as well. The only reason they're getting one less star than 5 is because the green bean casserole was cold. I definitely will be going back!!
