Seating was terrible with huge pillar in-between seats E19 -20. Not worth the price to sit by myself on date night.

First time visit: delicious food, beverages, and great service! Titanic is awesome (I'm writing this during intermission)!!! The theater is "in the round," so seating gives a great view for all. Scene changes are amazing.
Update: We went to see Oklahoma! as a group from RVC CLR. Excellent outing, very organized, friendly and professional. Out server was Conner, and he was great! The musical was EXCELLENT, the voices, costumes and acting were beautifully done. It's a MUST SEE!

So, this was our second recent visit. We enjoyed ourselves and plan a another visit soon! Honestly were not happy with some of the food for the first time. Main entree (Beef short rib) lacked seasoning and flavor. Corn salad dish was also bland. Really yummy first course and dessert (carrot cake) though. Was not asked if I wanted to go box which I wanted, but was too slow to ask for. Coffee was not offered with dessert and when asked for came quite late. As we have been there several times and have always been very happy with everything, we feel like we just hit a bad night.

My wife's birthday gift. We are both mid 60's and our most recent date out due my wife is patiently waiting for Hand surgery. First time here and we are very eager to return. Just don't sit me behind another huge guy cause struggled to watch the show.

Outstanding musicians! Higher Road was just incredible.
The atmosphere and the shoppes are truly endearing.
To say that the buffet was sparse would be an understatement. The servers were not that friendly.
Lunch was rushed.

Well worth the hour and 10 minute drive that we had to get to the Fireside. It just amazed us that they could serve so many people and keep the food quality and service so high. It was fun going through their gift shop. The play, Oklahoma, was absolutely amazing.

We have season tickets to Sunday brunch and the current show. Show is always good and we have great seats. The brunch is pretty much the same every time we go. They have changed their Eggs Benedict as the bun is twice as thick then in the past, and the eggs were almost completely cooked versus an over easy or over medium egg. It would be great if the shook up their menu by adding new non-breakfast food. We had corned beef - nice change but super tough.

Its more of a 6 star review💜 I've gone a dozen times, never been disappointed. Its really fairly priced for what you get. Food is always super delicious! Saw the little mermaid today. One of my favorite childhood movies! The performance did not disappoint! The costuming was phenomenal!! King titan was awesome! Eric was so cute, Ariel was so pretty- they claimed the characters so perfectly! The actress who played Ursla, i was nervous about at first! She's a really beautiful girl, how can she play that role??!! We'll she absolutely nailed it! I was sad when it was over. I cant wait to go again. My absolute favorite date with my sweet love!

We had a very nice family dinner followed by a theater performance. The gift shops are very entertaining to browse while we waited to be seated for dinner. We enjoyed the buffet and there was plenty of variety to choose from. The food was fresh and hot. Wait staff were very friendly and professional. Our kids (ages 11 and 14) and ourselves had a wonderful dining and theatre experience. Highly recommend!

I am very impressed with The Fireside Theater. As an Autism family, one gets nervous about first time visits. The Ticket Booth, Restaurant, Store Employees, and Ushers are all top notch, exceptional, professional, lovely, sweet, and easy to work with. We went for Thursday Matinee and had a ball. The Little Mermaid cast was outstanding as well. It was well worth it. We will be back! Thank you to every single employee for your generosity, accommodations, and amazing customer service. God Bless.

All 4 courses of our meal were very good. Chicken Cordon Bleu was just so-so but the breaded shrimp was excellent and so was the pork. We weren't able to save room for the dessert, peanut butter pie, so they wrapped it up for us to take it to go.
$98 for a very nice dining experience and a theater performance afterwards is a pretty good deal.

If you want a fun, off Broadway experience in the Midwest, this is the place to go! For less than $100 a person, you get a delicious buffet (when we went), fantastic show and just overall great experience. The gift shops are super nice and have lots of great decor and gifts. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.

First time here and overall with a group of five and had a great time! I kind of wish we chose the buffet though because our meals were not great. The shrimp was very rubbery. The pizza must have been just a frozen one from the store. The grilled cheese was burnt. Chicken tenders also seemed like they were from a frozen bag heated up, and not done all the way. Very disappointed in the food for the price..... The Little Mermaid show was wonderful! Great talent!

You have absolutely no reason to not go to the Fireside. The food is wonderful first-rate I would say, the drinks are not only delicious but won't break the bank, compared to other establishments they are very fairly priced and did I say they're delicious. The restaurant the bar is gorgeous in the many cute shops if you so desire. I've been there a handful of times over the years and I'm never disappointed. And the plays are always first rate.

Very well organized, properly staffed, outstanding food. They know how to time everything for a relaxing dinner before the show and manage moving people in and out with ease and efficiency. There are plenty of restrooms throughout. Nice gift shops to wander through and a bar area to relax in before dinner.
The staff seem very happy to be there. They they are friendly and helpful. The entertainers are always very talented.
We go back often and always invite friends. It is always a wonderful time.
Before the show, they announced birthdays and anniversaries and honor our Veterans.
We've gone to a buffet brunch which was amazing. Food is constantly brought out fresh, so it is as good as having it made just for you.
We've gone for many years and never had a bad meal or a bad experience.
