Reviews for Coal Fire in Cockeysville, MD
First time here and I was super happy we picked this place. It's not a huge spot but when we got there it later so not too... crowded. We sat in the bar area and service was great. The bartender was very attentive to everyone in that area. The menudidn't overwhelm you with a lot of options which was good but it was still hard to decide. We got mozzarella sticks and onionrings and they were both super hot super fresh and just great. My husband got pizza with meatballs and that was really good. Igot bolognese pasta. I liked it just wish it had tad more seasoning. Overall an amazing experience. Will definitely be returning Read more
Yesterday - Wonderful meal with my friend, pizza, onion rings and the grilled Ceasar Salad! Yum Six months ago - Had better... service than today. It was not crowded but the staff was distracted. Food was delicious, especially the warm grilled ceasarsalad, one of my favorites. Had to wait for refills and the check. Not their best day. Went back today and they werewonderful. Sam was a fabulous server, could not have asked for more. My only suggestion would be for the mushrooms in thepizza to be larger and thicker. Once in oven they shrivel to little bits. Read more
The Bolognese sauce is delicious! Thank you! Just what I was in the mood for tonight. Update 6/25/22: the Greek salad is fairly... priced, generous, filling, and delicious! The salad dressing was really good. Love your food. Thank you! Read more
The signature sauce is jammy and just the right balance of sweet and spicy (coming from someone who enjoys spicy but can't... tolerate much of it). I had never had a jammy pizza sauce before, but it's so much better than the standard now watery sauce.I've ordered several times now, never had a bad pizza from here. Read more
I am giving them a 1 star rating due to service... service was horrible!! We ordered food and drinks. After the food came we... were never checked on to see if everything was ok and we had finished our drinks and noone came to refill our drinks. We hadto ask someone cleaning a table (later we found out it was a managet named Josh) finished all our food and waited for acheck. FOOD WAS GREAT AND GETS A 5 STAR! BUT ONLY FOOD! After paying our bill we asked for the manager which was Josh and aftertelling him that service was bad! He said they were understaffed. I told him, I understand but as a manager he shouldnt seatpeople if they dont have the ability to give quality customer service. He then says to me "I am only here 2 days a week did youwant the name and phone number to the general manager?" I said "Yes" gave me a card with her name and number. Now there was aserver named Manny there who was doing an awesome job. He waited on many many tables and was very attentitive to his tables andnoone he served went with empty cups! When I left, Manny not only had serviced inside tables, but outside as well! He couldteach his fellow co workers a thing or 2 on customer service and serving people! Read more
Our server was great and we were seated immediately. The pizza was fantastic! We also ordered the grilled Caesar. It was not my... favorite dish. Tasted like just a hot salad with limpy lettuce. We will return and order pizza again! Read more
Great place to stop for a snack with the family. The pizza was very good thin with a great flavor. Calamari was good with hot... pepper???? server was Forgetful I order for a bottle water she bring a glass of water and I ask for a grilled chicken saladand she never brings the salad lol I guess they were looking for the chicken. After all I would say I enjoy myself. Read more
We needed to go to a specific store and checked out several restaurants in the area. We chose Coal Fire, and we would recommend.... The food was served hot. It didn't take too long (not fast but not slow). The server was friendly and attentive. The fries andmozzarella sticks were good. The $9 fries seemed a little crazy at first, but it's a large basket for table sharing not singleserve and fresh made so not your usual $3 diner fries. And the mozzarella sticks definitely looked homemade not storebought. The pizza was not impressive, but maybe a different combo would be good or maybe the small. The place was busy so somepeople must enjoy it. The flavor was fine. The crust was just too thin to to hold up to the toppings and too crispy to even eaton the edges. The drink menu also looked reasonably priced, and the outdoor patio is very nice. Overall we won't be driving outof our way to eat here. But if you are shopping in the area and want pizza and wings and apps and such then I would recommend itfor sure. Read more
