My wife and I, our son and his girl friend all went to try Fire Rock at about 6:00 on Friday night. We knew that it would be rush hour and expected the 20 minute wait time. They have a nice system where you give them your phone number and they text you when your table is ready.
When we got seated, we were immediately greeted by Rick, our server and was served our drinks right away. We were ready to order and ordered right away. It was a busy Friday night and the noise level was off the chart. There was no fresh bread and had to wait about 15 minutes for it to come out of the oven. It was warm. soft and had a great flavor, About 15 minutes later the food came out and looked great! Sorry to say, the good review ends here.
The fish (and chips); fish had a good flavor but was a little rubbery.
The pasta bowl; my son refused to review this for yelp and I think it was because it was a little bland.
My wife had the dry rubbed ribs and baked potato. The ribs were dry and slightly tough. They had a nice smokey flavor, and the half rack proportion was generous. The potato was only cooked thoroughly on one side. and was hard and inedible on the other.
I had the chicken and biscuit w/ mashed potatoes. the flavor was kick ass and the potatoes were very tasty. The "biscuit" was a piece of toast(?) and certainly not a biscuit. That was disappointing.
One last thing, you would think that a a place that charges as much as $49 for an entree would have filtered tap water. The chlorine taste was unmistakable.
Unfortunately, it didn't end there. Our waiter was forced to wait on so many tables, it took 15 minutes to get our check. I felt bad for Rick and still left him my normal 20% tip. I will try this place again in a few months and see if it improves once they lose enough business to handle the rest.
