Phil the Fire in its original home in Shaker Square was an absolutely perfect combination of delicious soul food and a great location. In its current iteration, it seems not much has changed. Yes, Orange Place is not quite as charming as Shaker Square is, but it's a much shorter drive for yours truly, so that always helps.
The food seems to be the same: delicious. The chicken and waffles are the height of sweet and savory harmony, while the macaroni and cheese tastes homemade and fresh. The double butter peach cobbler, which I remember as being one of my favorite desserts, seems to be a little less fresh than it used to be, while the ice cream on top was freezer burnt. Don't get me wrong, it was still good, just not as good as it used to be.
Overall, it appears Phil hasn't lost a step despite the new location and a years-long hiatus. Bravo.
