2 /5 David Paul Chavez: I stopped at Firehouse Cafe for Sunday breakfast after seeing all the high ratings and hearing great things from a local friend. The place was busy, which I took as a good sign, but my experience didn’t match the reputation.
When I walked in, there was a line but no clear direction on where to check in. After asking two diners, I finally found the host. He seated me quickly but didn’t smile—seemed more rushed than rude.
Service was inconsistent. One waitress who stopped by early on was friendly, but my actual server wasn’t warm and took orders from two tables who arrived after me before taking mine. When my food came, parts of the order were wrong. My toast was missing, and there was no apology—just a quick fix. The omelet still wasn’t made correctly, and by the time the toast arrived it wasn’t worth finishing. I ate about a third. The pancake was decent, but it didn’t make up for the rest.
I don’t usually leave 2-star reviews, but nothing was done to address the issues or offer any hospitality. I’m sure this is a solid spot for locals, but travelers might want to look elsewhere for a more reliable breakfast experience.
