Fireside Dining 2256 Lodge Road, Ardmore, OK 73401

"This was our first time in. The atmosphere and the service were nice. However, there were a few issues that make me inclined not to return for a second visit. The water had a strong metallic/chemical taste that made it almost undrinkable. The bread basket that came to the table had these hard pieces of bread absolutely sopping with oil which was not particularly appetizing. My main issue with our experience is that I was charged nearly $30 for four slightly overcooked pieces of shrimp. My husband joked that it must be a steak house, not a shrimp house. The sauce the four pieces of shrimp came in had a good flavor, but dipping the bread at the table into the sauce would not be a good idea as it would be dipping sopped oily bread into even more oil. My husband's prime rib was a positive experience for him. We did not order appetizers, drinks, or dessert and it was almost $100 for the two of us. This seems high for me leaving slightly hungry."

"We had a girl's weekend and dined here Friday night! Wonderful food and terrific service. We had a wonderful evening and hope to go back some time! Desserts were amazing too!"

"Our visit was on a Saturday, we arrived just before opening. The dogs (2) needed some coaching to get out of the driveway. As expected we were seated immediately. My wife had the Moscato and I had a Shiner bock. Both were as anticipated. The bread served, as previously noted, seemed fried and overly seasoned with garlic. My wife ordered the Teriyaki chicken and I had the filet. We had a Fireside salad with the meals and we each had loaded baked potatoes. We liked the salad, served family style, although wished there had been onions in it My steak instead of being seared was charred/burnt and crusty while being perfect on the inside, not my preference. My wife was satisfied with her chicken and rice. Sadly, we were too full to order dessert (as usual). The service was very good and pulls the overall rating up."

"Neat little rustic place. Don’t seem to take reservations but if your a regular you may have a standing one. Hmm. Able to get a drink at the bar while you wait. Friendly staff. Good food. Crab cake was good for being inland. Salad was a salad. Prime rib was good not great. Baked potato was ok. Filet was great. A little loud and not an intimate setting as hoped. 4 stars for Ardmore, 3 for any where else."

"Kind of a weak start but a strong finish. Just passing through and decided to grab a bite, found it online & took the exit. Nice looking place, rustic style outside, dim/dated inside. Ordered stuffed mushrooms appetizer and it was burnt til black outside, completely raw/uncooked inside. Went ahead and waited for the entreès and they were both great. Top sirloin and pork chops both came out exactly as ordered, the sides were good, the salads were fresh and crisp. The waitress was friendly and attentive without being annoying at all. A little more expensive than your chain restaurants but worth it. Hopefully those mushrooms were just a fluke."
