While visiting Port Credit with my bridesmaids for shopping for the day we decided to stop in at Fired Up for lunch. I had no time to look up a place to eat and Fired Up was right across the street from where we were at, so there we went!
It looks pretty small when you walk in, but opens up a bit towards the back of the restaurant. The decor is interesting, with white animal heads on the wall and semi-fancy decor. I knew it was an Italian-ish type owner (I asked and yes one of the owners is Italian!)
I noticed quite a few negative reviews once I started looking around but I was optimistic! We ordered mac and cheese balls, a chicken salad, and a burger (all around the table). Honestly, every single meal was cooked perfectly, hot, and huge! All the food tasted so good and flavourful. Not a single complaint! The food also came out in good time.
Our waiter was super friendly and funny - he treated us really well and accommodated all our weird needs.requests. We also got a cheesecake for dessert and it was to-die-for! So full of flavour!
I really don't know why this place has so many bad reviews. We had a great experience and all the food we tried was great! I will definitely be returning next time I am in the area. The manager also came over to check on our table and chat with us a bit about the restaurant. I hope others have better experiences now-a-days!
