Firestone Grill

02/16/2008 Posted by BBALLACH

O.K. the food is typical bar-grill food. The place is always packed, which isn't to big of a deal it is SLO. But the service in the bar has to be one of the worst I've experienced. It wasn't just a one time deal either. The past four or five times I have been there it is consistently bad. Everything from being promptly greeted, reordering drinks and getting you bill are always a pain and there rude on top of that. So if you want a burger, beer and to watch the game this is the place, but don't expect good service.

Pros: food, tv's, beer

Cons: service and employees attitude

Great place to hang out, enjoy some tasty food, order some thirst-quenching beverages, watch some sports, whether by yourself, with a significant other, with friends, or family.

Recently, I went to dine at Firestone Grill to call it aweful is being nice! The restaurant is crowded, people are packed in like sardines. After ordering my meal, I tried to wait for my item to come up. While I was standing waiting for my lukewarm burger and fries. I noticed a young woman pouring to Cosmopolitans for two relatively attractive women from Cal Poly. When the woman went to serve the women their drinks, she stuck her thumbs directly into their drinks...right in front of the women. To say I was disgusted would be an understatement. I tried to resist gagging and wretching, but never picked up my order. Their only saving grace is that they are building more seating outside.

Pros: It's expanding the seating outside.

Cons: Crowded, liquored up, load and lazy staff!

I visit my best friend who goes to Cal Poly several times a year and this is allllways the first stop (second stop= balis frozen yogurt). The ABC burger is honestly one of the best burgers I have ever had...and I know my burgers! The tri tip sandwich is wonderful too as well is the tri tip salad. Their fries have really good seasoning and they give you tonnnns. It is always packed and hard to get a table but I'd say it is worth the wait, definitly!

Pros: great food

Cons: long wait

I am a frequent customer of Firestone Grill, and recently went there to order takeout. I had ordered two ABC burgers, a salad, an order of fries, and another of onion rings. As usual, the food was excellent, but I soon found out my order of onion rings consisted of only 4 rings (strategically placed on top) and the rest of the bag was fries! I felt ripped off, because it seemed the onion rings were placed on top to make it seem like a full order of them. It isn't someting major, but it is a question of honesty nonetheless. I will never return there again, even though the food is great. If you order takeout there, be sure to mention this review and check your order--it might prevent a similar occurance.

Pros: Food is great.

Cons: I felt ripped-off.

I dont live locally. But I come to visit a special someone here in SLO. She introduced me to this place and it was instant love. Now, I come to eat at firestone grill for the food and atmosphere, especially the PIG SANDWICH. Thats really the only reason I come to SLO. But dont tell my girlfriend that. ;) <p> PROS: Hate to be general, but EVERYTHING! Espeically the pig sandwich!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM <p> CONS: I have to drive all the way here to get some!.

THis place it so much fun on sport nights. A great place to hang out, have some drinks, get some BBQ food and watch a game on their flat screen TV's. They have a full bar and short wine list, and a pretty simple menu or burgers and fries. I reccommend the Steak Cobb Salad and a basket of fries. This place is loud and is usually full of younger college folk!! But a great place to get the night started if you are going out on the town in SLO!!

Pros: Good BBQ and drinks andyou can be loud and rowdy

Cons: It gets loud and rowdy, so if you are looking for something quiet get it to go and go home

the trip-tip salad is plentiful and priced wonderfully. The small portion will feed two. The only bad thing is there are always a lot of people there, so the wait can be a while.

Cons: seating space,

Best burger joint in SLO, hands down. The fries are delicious! The spices they use are amazing. The ABC burger is a must have. Actually, everything on the menu (including veggetarian selections) is delicious. It's a buy upfront, seat yourself, listen for your number joint. The service is fast and the tables are always cleaned. It's so popular that sometimes you do have to fight others for a table (on fri/sat nights), but it's by far worth it.

Pros: great food, clean restaurant, bar

Cons: seat yourself

The tri-tip sandwich is great. We take visitors there all the time. The salads are also very good. There is good patio seating, sports bar seating and resturant seating away from the bar.

Pros: tri-tip steak sand., salads
