| - Stopped in here on a Friday night - about 5:30pm. Rockin' on the River was just starting to roll, so I wanted to relax with a cold beer and a light meal. I'll say that this is my favorite Firehouse Grille (I've been to East Market, Tallmadge and Springfield) maybe because of the environment and decor, but it seemed like the customers AND the staff were having an equally good time - and that good attitude is hard to resist. They were actually having a 70's Disco theme night - the staff was dressed appropriately, and they had Donna Summer, Village People, BeeGees and lots of other funky stuff cranking on the tunebox.
Service was very efficient, the staff was friendly and the prices - as expected - were very reasonable. I had a fried shrimp basket which was very good, and a gal that sat at the bar next to me got the $1 burger special - which was so good, she ordered another. They were not crappy little burgers, either, but big, full-size jucyburgers.
I enjoyed a couple of Stellas; they have a nice selection of beers on tap and in the botle as well. As I said, the crowd was fun - a nice mix of people, age-wise, anywhere from late 20's to 50 or so. Nice energy...very comfortable crowd (this is Cuyahoga Falls, after all) so people seemed upbeat as they prepared to go out and catch the band on the Riverfront.
Overall, a pleasant surprise - and I'm sure I'll be back again when I'm up this way.
