Each dish was overcooked.
The edges of the potatoes skins were singed and hard. The whole potatoe skin was dry. No moisture anywhere.
The ribs were overcooked and dried out. The ribs on the ends were burned and hard as rocks. We had to throw them away. The center ribs were dry and tough.
Sad disappointment!!!Our expensive dinner was awful.
What has happened to your restaurant lately, in the last 6 or 7 months? It's fallen apart. It used to be a reliable place for ribs, not any longer.

I normally don't leave negative reviews but these ribs were so bad I just had to. Dry as a bone, pale, tougher than Mike Tyson. Very little bbq sauce which would be fine if there was some kind of rub or something. Idk, maybe they had a bad night. I will say the salad was very good and so we're the fries. With a name like Fireplace Inn you would think there would be some kind of char or flavor from a grill or flame. I will give them another chance before I cross them off the list

Used to love ordering from this place for years. Food quality was very poor this time. Overcooked to disintegration fried zucchini and cooked til dried out wings slathered in sauce. Inedible....
