Fireside Restaurant

Gummy rice, extra crispy cabbage, and flies. I went a few months back and the food was just like my last sentence. I thought maybe it was just a down day for them, but no. They now serve their food like this daily. I went today with my cousins from out of town (their 1st time) and the food was gross. They didnt like it either. It didn't used to taste like this. Fireside used to be my main place for good Caribbean cuisine. I won't be going back.

After searching forever I finally decided to try this place out with all the mixed reviews. The oxtails were good , the rice and peas were just okay. Wouldn’t order that again. The cabbage was nasty, definitely won’t get that again. The servers were not friendly at all. But the cashier was nice and pleasant. | I would go back for sure , just next time double white rice. I went for the oxtails and they did not disappoint. Oh yeah the price was very fair.

New to the area. I've been trying every Caribbean spot in the area. I've been here twice before during the week but it's always crowded. Went here on a Sat around 1pm. I was in line for 25 minutes BEFORE I COULD ORDER. Only 2 other customers in front of me. They have buffet style food set out but the move EXTREMELY SLOW. No urgency for the customers. By the time I ordered the line had grown to about 12 people in line. THEY NEED EXTRA HELP or the employees need to move with a sense of urgency when they see the spot getting packed. Some of my pet peeves....buffet food not covered, saw 2 flies land on the white rice....but not many flies in the restaurant,....employees not wearing gloves, employees having extensive conversations over open food..... There are other options in the area that I'm more comfortable with. The flavor of the food was OK. Update 11/08/2022: This is not it. Taking another star away. Rice stale. Salmon tough as steak.
