Fire Escape American Grille

"Our first time and it exceeded our expectations. The layers of flavor in everything we ordered was so refreshing! Having Tania and Jose engaged with everyone was heartwarming and welcoming. From the cleanliness to quality of food, we are thrilled to have you in our community. Highly recommend!"

"Great food, cocktails, service, and atmosphere. The best place to dine in and around Colonial Beach. Steaks, chicken, and shrimp were cooked perfectly, everything was well seasoned, and staff was very attentive."

"Went for mothers bday and just meh. Our waitress also the bartender was busy w drinks and taking other tables we sat for along time w out service. Other tables that showed up after us(5) received their food before us(3). I will say my bacon blue burger was very good but I was surprised when it came w no lettuce tomato onion pickles NOTHING just bread and a burger? Also the old bay fries are overly seasoned I thought I was maybe just me but we heard the other table talking about them also. My mother had the shrimp risotto she said it was good but way to salty. My drink was perfect had the rivah. I think the idea of a more upscale restaurant in this area works better in theory than reality! With Olga’s gone we really don’t have a good breakfast spot or a place that serves good down home food. I think the business would triple if it was a little less fu-fu."

"New spot where Olga's lived for quite some time. Heard a reservation was smart for a Friday night and am glad we made one. Very small place and they book all the tables (and the bar) instead of leaving a few for walk-in seating. Lots of staff walking around. Menu was great! 3 of the 4 pastas are spicy if it's your thing. Drinks going out were gorgeous. Food was tasty but not very hot. Definitely try (with a reservation) to at least grab an appetitzer and drinks."

"My friend and I had never been to Col. Beach before, so we didn’t know where to eat. Man, were we happy to have found Fire Escape. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, the crab corn chowder was delicious, and my beverage was amazing. I highly recommend this little gem! We didn’t have reservations, but in peak season, I would definitely make them."
