"The food was absolutely amazing!!! But the service was hands down the best I have ever had!!! We had a large party, 14 people, and our server was phenomenal! I am probably going to spell her name incorrectly, and I apologize for that, but I believe her name was Jocelyn. Wow, great job, and the biggest thanks possible!!!"

"I can’t praise this place enough! We regularly order catering for work, and unlike other businesses I've used, which often treated our orders as an inconvenience, Firehouse has been incredibly friendly and helpful right from our first order. The sandwiches are fantastic, and the cookies are a delightful addition. If you're looking for a reliable place to deliver sandwiches, Firehouse is definitely the best choice!"

"The staff is consistently friendly, and the restaurant is always clean. I joined the Sip Club, so I find myself there almost every day, both inside and in the drive-thru. As with any Panera location, the prices are a bit on the higher side. However, my orders are always satisfying and prepared correctly."

"Now, let's talk about the food. This was my first experience ordering steak at a restaurant, and I always prefer my meat well done. I chose the Longhorn steak, which they claim is their finest, and it was absolutely heavenly—juicy and so well prepared that I didn't even need steak sauce. The potatoes were incredibly creamy—some of the best I've ever had. The warm bread served before the meal was delightful; the butter melted perfectly as I spread it. My wife ordered the Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a baked potato and was equally impressed by the flavors. She also tried the loaded baked potato soup and declared it the best she’s ever tasted. Just when we thought we were ready to leave, Kevin came over and tempted us with dessert. My wife couldn't resist the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, which was fantastic. I also found myself craving something sweet and chose the Baker’s Dozen Donut Bites—they were so delicious, I didn’t even share! Trust me, don’t just take my word for it; go try it and let me know your thoughts. And be sure to ask for Kevin—he's a fantastic server, and you won't be disappointed! Apologies for not snapping any photos; I was too eager to dig in!"

"From the moment I walked into this restaurant, I had a feeling I was about to enjoy some gourmet cuisine, and thankfully, my instincts were spot on. My girlfriend and I were quickly served chips and salsa at our booth, which came in a basket along with a container of salsa and two small bowls. I found this to be both creative and practical, as sharing dips can sometimes be awkward. The chips and salsa were not only convenient, but also delicious! The salsa had a blend of flavors that I really enjoyed. We added some salt and pepper to the chips, enhancing the experience at the table. They were so tasty that they would be hard to top. Good luck to the next restaurant where I try chips and salsa! They even offered us a complimentary refill later, which was a nice touch. I ordered a Diet Pepsi and a large (27 oz) El Pueblo lime Margarita on the rocks. For my main dish, I chose the El Pueblo Fajitas, which came with steak, chicken, shrimp, sautéed onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. It was served with lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, rice, and beans, and I opted for corn tortillas. If you prefer flour tortillas, you might want to consider making them at home—just kidding! The Diet Pepsi was quite good and included free refills. However, I found the Margarita to be just average, and that was my only real disappointment. It could have used a stronger lime flavor; instead, it mainly tasted like tequila and water, with a lot of salt around the rim. The food arrived incredibly fast—within about three minutes! The fajitas were excellent! The portion size was generous, and the quality was top-notch. Everything was juicy, and both the rice and beans were delicious. Overall, the meal was nearly perfect. The service was also commendable; our waiter was friendly and attentive, checking in on us regularly. In conclusion, the food here is almost exceptional, although I wish the Margarita had been a bit better. As for the prices, I would say they are quite reasonable."
