Reviews for Firehouse American Eatery & Lounge in San Diego, CA

Wonderful vibe and delicious food. We had the avocado BLT, sliders with fries, and a cocktail. More pricey than I'd normally pay... for what we got. Really good food but nothing unique. One cocktail was 14$ - that was a joke as it had little flavor. Worst (2star reasoning) part was that they hosted a vendor fair that night. Cool, the bottom floor is only lounge space and workedperfect for the vendor fair. Part that sucked? They let vendors overflow to the 2nd floor/rooftop where the kitchen is. Theywere loud, distracting, posted up in the only booths available for eating, and had a spotlight - for real - on a table facing usall eating. I had to move myself to face the other way despite the pain to eat that way. So bright it was forcing a migraine onto me. It was unfortunate and disruptive. Made the "cool" vibe seem annoying. 2/5.

The location was really nice, I loved the atmosphere of the place. However, at least when we went on a Monday night, the service... was mediocre. The drinks we ordered took forever, one of our appetizers came after our entrees, and the menu did not have a lotof dinner options. They claim that the fries were "duck fat fries" but to me they honestly just tasted like normal dry frenchfries. Not sure I would come here again. Read more

The food was good but the service was slow. Still never got refill of our drinks. The Bacon fat Mac and cheese was really good.... The burger and chicken sandwich were good. Read more

Firehouse has the best happy hour! I went with my family and we shared the happy hour appetizers. We loved everything we... ordered! The mac'n is amazing, the salt and pepper shrimp are delish, the calamari is crispy, and the brussel sprouts are todie for! Portions are perfect for sharing. We had great service both times we went and left happy customers with full bellies! Read more

Well after attending the padres game we decided to head down to mission beach as the family and I were here on vacation. We... chose this place based on the menu and they had a kids menu from google. We quickly realized after being seated that thisestablishment isn’t for families especially younger children. There was a party that was extremely loud at a table next to us.The smell of weed engulfed our table on a few occasions. The waitresses are kind some dressed a little more reveling thanothers. We asked for water and waited for 10 min for us to have to ask again and our waitress Sydney said she was sorry. Thefood wasn’t bad at all we ordered the buffalo chicken wraps and the kids had sliders. The buffalo wrap is a bit spicy whichall comes down to the person I thought it was good but others thought it was a bit too spicy. Also we had to pay 5% surchargefor inflation and 20% gratuity for our party of 6. This place is definitely not for younger kids. Read more

Wonderful location Beautiful restaurant with incredible ambiance Live music on a Wednesday evening- say what?— acoustic guitar... player was quite good and we enjoyed the wide range of music he played. The food is presented beautifully and everything wasreally good. My friend prefers calamari that has lighter coating/frying but the rest of the people eating the calamari LOVEDit. I had the guacamole and chips and a bite of others and I loved the guacamole. A friend had some mini burgers I will likelytry next time and she obviously enjoyed.. This was a smooth, easy and super fun experience and followed by some time starringat that beautiful beach that is right out their door..— you just can’t go wrong here. Read more

Really enjoyed our time at the rooftop bar. Poke stack was great, and the drinks will definitely keep me coming back. Chicken... was dry, but I did ask for it un-tossed... so it was likely my fault. Read more

This place was perfect. I got the turkey sandwich, and it was delicious. The vibes are so lovely. We sat at the rooftop bar. The... only thing is the waitress didn’t check in as much. We had to flag her down every time. Over a nice place. Read more
