FireSide Classic Grill - Elliot Lake

Decided to eat hear as my relatives had never tried it. What a pleasant surprise. Seated and served by John who I'm guessing was the owner/manager??? Super friendly and very funny. He kept us well entertained with his quips and witty remarks. 2 of us had the fish and chip special of the day (1/2 price) and it was very good. Large piece of haddock and loads of fries with cole slaw. Excellent inexpensive meal. Other meals were a classic burger and a beef dip wrap. Excellent portions and good prices. Would definitely return next time in town.

I was there with my family we had nachos and chicken wings and poutine it was delicious and our services was great not a lobg wait

It was a real pleasure to find the Fireside open on Canada Day and really nice to see the restaurant so full this early. I just wish that our citizens responded consistently to the owners' attempts to provide good service and choice over a wide time range. Sadly the Fireside has had to cut the weekday breakfast start time from 9.00am to 11.00am - unfortunately bad timing as the summer months are when visitors are seeking somewhere good to eat - and for breakfast there is no real competition!

We stopped in last year on our way through and again this year. It's a nice spot, there are not many choices in Elliot Lake and they have done a nice job with this restaurant. Clean and bright and nice decorWe met a lady on the way in and said we would sit at a bar table, she said sure and we sat. Another lady was pouring drinks and serving the table 2 feet away from us. We watched her for a few minutes , she went back to their table and got them another round and went away. We saw here come back, pour a couple drinks then go back in the dining room. We watched that a couple times , sat for 13 minutes, finally asked this lady when she came back to our neighbours 'can we get a drink' she said 'oh the other waitress hasnt come to see you yet?' . Then the other lady came out and apologized, sorry I was busy. Were about 4 tables in the entire place taken , the Bar lady knew we were sitting with no service while she walked past us several times over the 13 minutes. Food was good but a bit pricey for portions, I get it, it's way up and everything seems to be a bit more up here , food was fresh and well presented and server was good after initial start. Its becoming a regular thing where service just isnt what it used to be, when you are out on a special trip or date night it would be nice to always get that great service, have servers that are engaged and happy to be working, nonetheless for the other reasons I still rate this spot as Very Good

The food is great, all though I am not a fan of the decor and seats the service was great. I would recommend the fish and chips excellent
