One of my favorite late-night spots in Chicago. Serves great food till 3am. Their cajun meatloaf sandwich is an awesome value. The drinks aren't crazy expensive either.

The bloody mary bar on Saturday and Sunday is my favorite! Sometimes the service can be slow, but all the employees are really nice, music is great, and it always has a fun atmosphere. I've tried a lot of menu items and enjoyed them all. more

Wow! For the 18 years I have been working here we have always been known for our healthy homestyle cooking. We used healthy fry oil [Canola] way before it became PC. As for salt we only use it sparingly in our homemade bread and Country Mashed Potatoes NO other recipes. This person has a bone to pick with us but...

I was born & raised in Chicago but now live outside of Seattle, WA. I was regular patron of the FireSide for the past 20 years and can say you will not be disappointed with a visit there. The FireSide is in a neighborhood setting in the Andersonville area approximately 4 blocks west of Clark Street and 5 blocks north... more
