I've been here a few times now, and my boyfriend's mom and her friends go almost every week for wings! The wings are awesome here, and cheap. They have a really nice menu with some cool different options than a typical pub would have. The service has always been friendly. Whenever I'm around Oakville I try to come here!
Great service & fun atmosphere. Their fajitas are yummy, and the fish n chips too! Best part is they care about their customers' satisfaction and will take good care of you!
Good service but the food is terrible and very generic. Use to love this place 10 years ago during high school and not a thing has changed. Its very dated and out of touch with modern day bars. If your looking for a place to bring the kids for a burger or chicken fingers you'll enjoy this place but if your looking for a night out with friends you will have to look for another bar.
Always great food, atmosphere and service. It's a family favourite and a must when we are in the area or passing through.
Take your kids here on Monday! They eat for FREE if they wear a fireman's hat purchased from the restaurant. They can eat for free on subsequent visits as long as they wear the hat.
For adults, I recommend the chicken wings. The chicken is batter fried and coated with a sticky, sweet, deep red sauce. Remarkably, the wings remain crispy and crunchy even though they are bathed in the sauce. A...

Nice people but terrible food.
The nephew ordered ravioli which should have been simple- no sauce. Came covered in Alfredo sauce. Sent it back. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it arrived with a piece of paper with pen ink on it inside.
I'm aware this probably isn't a typical experience for most people who dine here, but it was for us.
2 out of the 5 of us received our food once the others had...

Frozen, greasy burgers. It would take so little to make 'real' burgers. Instead, we were served a huge, not thoroughly cooked patty dripping with grease. It was kinda sad, really.
When I was 20, I'd think it was great. Now, not so much. There's lots of places around that serve great burgers. This place isn't one of them.
Have been here a few times. Tried the burgers, appetizer platter, and wings. Great food every time. Good service as well. Overall a nice casual and family friendly place :)
This was not the family's first visit to The Firehall. On previous visits - the last one about 3 years ago - we had great service, a big variety of wings, and an efficient and friendly waitress.
The Firehall boasts a lovely, large patio - the weather was great, so thought it would be nice to be outside. We ended...

Went to the firewall as spouse loves the "wings" spent $52 and received moldy carrots. Disgusting! Photo attached. Buyer beware.
I thought servers actually served.. Sadly I'm mistaken.. Had to ask for a menu.. Had to wave my arm in the air for attention.. Seriously hire more wait staff on wing night.. Suck it up and give better service.
Took 50 min between the app and the main (wings) to come out. Waitress didn't come to our table once to check us. But she did come back to ask us about our order because she kept forgetting what we ordered....terrible, terrible service and food. Wings were soggy and there was a hair in the salad- manager came to take... more
Rating is a Three Minus
Good Service, Sunny patio, good place to meet with friends
Ok menu, standard pub menu, wings are average, decent watering station
basic roadhouse
best asset is close to good walking paths
Must have wings... Saturday night at 9pm drove over to Burlington to try it out based on Yelp reviews. Seated promptly and servers were friendly. Ordered wings and ribs. Food was good and portions were generous. Definitely worth trip back!
Service is generally poor to horrible....I keep going back because I love the Southwest Salad (which I could easily make at home) and my son LOVES the wings! Ok so I love the wings too. The tablecloths need to be replaced, they have a constant, grimy, gross,sticky feeling to them.
So if you can get over the sticky tables and...

I truly wanted this to be a special occasion for my son's birthday and hadn't frequented the Firehall in such a long time but on the insistence of some acquaintances who were raving about it decided to give it another shot. Who wouldn't like a free meal worth 13.95 (must show I.D) on their birthday? We were happily greeted by... more
The service is by far the worst part about this restaurant... Even if the food was good, which it is not, the service already left an indelible impact on my overall view. Rude waitresses and horrible desserts. My waitress had dark brown hair and did not introduce herself... The manager should spend some time training their employees to fit what... more
first off I get referred to go to this joint and was told to see the manager....anyways buy one get one free wing night I go in sit down at the bar told the manager I was interested in the special and wanted the 25 pack doubled to 50 and ordered a drink for while I was waiting...after about 15-20... more
Great pub style food with good service. I enjoy going stopping in at the bar as well as grabbing a bite at the restaurant. Two thumbs up!
If ur not sick from the food the first time, u will just be grossed out by the completely unhygienic surroundings. So gross! The food is edible but will give u diarrhea. Filthy filthy filthy dirty. C@!%!y service. Typical bar menu. All the firehouse paraphnelia is cute but the points go down into the minuses after that. Go for beer,... more
We recently moved into the Bronte area and decided to try it out as we have two small children. What a great spot! Our server was great asked if we had been at the restaurant before and had lots of great recommendations for dinner we took them and ordered wings and curry and if you have never had either you... more
When I mived to Bronte I frequented the Firehall and Plank ! Staff and food always best!
Barred due to meeting someone there who started fight while I was in washroom!
Tries this place for the first time and really wanted to like it as we are moving to the area soon but the food was just bad. I had the surf and turf burrito and it should have been called the salt and rice burrito. It was disgusting. So much salt it hurt. A few pieces of gristly beef and... more
We dropped in with friends for a dinner because our regular place was closed. Despite a busy night, we were seated quickly. With drinks in hand, we surveyed the menu and started with calamari as well as the chicken dumpling appetizers. Wow - both dishes were actually very good. A pleasant surprise. For the main course we had the "Aboo's... more
The wings were okay, not as good as House of Wings. Do NOT order the pizza - one child in our group ordered it, and it was really bad. We had it taken off our final bill. We did enjoy being seated outdoors on the patio, however, THE absolutely worst thing: they allow SMOKING on the outdoor patio! Which is... more
Good place, I recommend the Long Island ice tea and the bruschetta bombs! There could be a vegetarian burger and a vegetarian soup on the menu to make it a five star bar/restaurant!
Boy this is a busy place. I took a seat at the bar and bypassed a long wait. Tuesday's special was 2 for 1 wings, which were huge. As a craft beer snob from Michigan, I must take a star away for the lack of a decent craft IPA. In fairness, the Firehall is a victim of the truly sad scene in Ontario. That said, the Molson Canadian did go down easy.
It's a decent place to go in Bronte. Lots of TV's if you are looking for sports. We always enjoyed it for pub type food.
First off I have to agree with the comment below, surprisingly the curry here is amazing! Not something you'd expect. Secondly this place just has a homey feel, for me the service has always been great, even if things take a little while longer I can still see the staff happily interacting with other customers. Overall one of my favourite... more
For a random bar in the middle of Oakville the curry dish they serve is fantastic. Also, the buffalo butter wrap and wings are great.
The service absolutely ruined my entire experience. This quality of food can be found elsewhere with better service. Places where they don't treat customers as if they are lucky to be spending their hard earned money there. I've had worse food and better service and come away happier than this horrible experience at The Firehall. I can only suggest: spend... more
Not a fan of roadhouse food, but he wings here are clearly the best in Oakville. Firehall has a large patio and bar area. Lots of space and a decent menu for a casual restaurant.
This is a ordinary restaurant to look at, but boy is the food good.
I was there with a friend and had the best perogies for lunch.
Caramelized onions, tons cheese!!!! Yummy!
My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich which was equally good.
Our waitress Kelsey was on the ball and gave us real service, prompt, efficient.
So nice to...

Last night at The Firehall:
As I took a seat at the table I noticed that the waitress was already handing everyone their bill. Luisa (who had arrived about 15 minutes prior to my appearance) was still eating her wings and drinking her beer. My friend Joe at this point kindly asked the waitress for another Heineken and was debating...
more
Great place in Oakville. I like the food, and the mood. Every time I've been here it has been really busy.
The decor is hard to classify, I'd probably call it 'casual'. It's not the most wonderful ever, but I don't hate it. It has many little sections to it.
The food is actually pretty good. While they don't have too many flavors, the ones that they have are quite good. On top of this the...

Decent bar but I've got to say, this is possibly the least vegetarian friendly eatery in the country (possibly the planet)! Throw a veggie burger or veggie pizza in there guys! Lots of groups that go to places like yours have at least one vegetarian (or freak as I'm guessing you'd call them) in the party...make at least a token effort...sheesh.
Bland, boring food. Ordered take out from the menu and it wound up being a different dish. Wont eat there again
Good fish and chips and wings. Wide choice of beer. A big plus in the summer is their outside patio with ample seating with separate locations for smokers and non smokers. We enjoy and continue to go.
If you like wings and cold beer on draft this place is for you. The best wings in town. Not the cleanest of restaurants but it is good old country bar food at it's best and I would not go anywhere else to eat wings and drink beer. I would suggest passing on the desserts. I had the peanut butter... more
Although the menu is pretty much your basic roadhouse style fare, you can always count on fresh and tasty food with generous portions. It is a great place to meet for wings and beer or other good menu items!
Firehall is a well decorated neighbourhood pub. Service was OK but a little slow and food was normal for a pub but a little pricey at $11.99 for fish and chips with one piece of fish. Ravioli was also a little pricey at $14.99 for lunch. Beer selection actually quite boring for a pub. Ok to patronize if one is... more
This is a place that wears many hats...the bar area is a fun, 'happening place' during the evenings and weekends (FOR young and old - I personally drop 10 years off my age as soon as I enter)...the restaurant area serves delicious food [not just pub grub]...at most reasonable prices and their specials are are 'highly affordable'...Biggest and Best Chickens... more
This has become our regular Friday night place for dinner. Great wings - try the Buffalo chicken salad- fabulous. Friendly staff and the manager is always around greeting the guests. Can be a bit of a wait getting a table or a stool at the bar on Friday nights because it is so popular. Worth the wait though.
Husband and myself went for a late afternoon lunch on the patio. We shared a pulled pork poutine which was good and the perogies which were pretty tasty, the waitress however was terrible, never checked on us to see how our food was and to see if we needed more to drink! We finished and went inside to get our... more
The Firehall is a great casual dinning spot for wings and has a wonderful patio for the summer. My husband and I have been here a number of times and always walk away happy.
Went for a lunch with a colleague on a Friday - chose the fish and chips and got to guess a coin flip for a free fish lunch - and I got lucky. The food was okay, not the best fish and chips in the world, but hey, the price was right!
With great wings comes long waits. Especially on half price wing night. Even more so in the summer.
Let's say first that you cant expect to just walk in on half price wing night. Expect at least a 30 minute wait, could be closer to an hour on tuesdays in the summer. The service is never really amazing and will...
more
When the owner is onsite, everything seems better, but last couple visits were disappointing. Wings and burgers can be quite good. Service can be good or disinterested. Still nice place for lunch outside in summer.
Great food, great atmosphere and all around a good time!
Went there Friday night for "Flip For Your Fish" where you can get your fish and chips dinner for free if you win a coin toss. I've been here a couple of times now and always enjoy it. The wings are phenomenal... the best I've had in Oakville by far. The place is busy but doesn't have that overcrowded feeling. They had a large number of...

I used to love this restaurant until my last 2 visits.
The 2nd last visit, there was a creepy-crawly on the table (I think it was a silverfish), but I didn't say anything.
The last visit - there was a little black bug in my caesar salad. I almost mistook it for a pepper corn, but there weren't any other...

Cool road house decorated like a Firehall in Bronte. Food portions were quite generous and food is roadhouse style and quite tasty. The mudslide was fantastic looking and yummy! Usual pub fare of fish and chips, wings, chicken fingers. Waitresses are very pleasant and prompt. A great family restaurant with reasonable prices and consistently good food. They have a bar... more
the large patio, perfect for getting together with friends. The sampler platter which offered everything from wings to deep fried pickels
This is a great place to go to after work with co-workers for a much needed drink. Service is awesome, good appetizers and fun environment.
Food was only "ok" and a bit overpriced. Would not recommend or return. They asked my kids they wanted extra dipping sauce for their wings, which showed up on the bill and expensive drinks even if they were refillable. I was at the resaurant with 16 kids plaus parents from a hockey team at 3:00 in the afternoo. We all... more
The wings are great. The party size pizza is huge and taste great.
If your a fan of the chicken wings this is a must. They serve up a tasty wing that is larger than most you will get in restaurants usually. The service is always excellent and the decor is fun, with plenty of flat screens to catch the game of the night.
Free meals for kids on Mondays when they buy a firehat...works for us...so does the fun easy food, good wine and beer, fun and great service and place to be inside or out! New Years with the family here we come!
SO much birthday fun for my son! We have been to the Firehall many times, but the last time was for my sons 9th birthday - his request! The kids love the kids meals, lots of choices! I LOVE the ribs and wings - can't beat them! My husband loves the burgers! SO many delicious menu choices and a FUN... more
We went in a small group: - two families with 3 kids on Thanksgiving Monday. Place was less than busy for lunch and that made our 40 minute wait for food completely unexplainable. The waitress was incredibly rude and indifferent. After 30 minutes of waiting, with all the kids crying for their food, we asked how much longer it would... more
All I keep hearing was the wings are huge! The Wings are huge! The Wings are Huge! I'll admit that the wings are bigger compared to most popular wing places but they weren't the biggest that I've seen!
One of my girls recommended this place to me, mind you I was pretty sceptical b/c she's recommended places to eat before and they were just okay. I'll still give her the chance plus I love...

Wow!!! Just had dinner at the Firehall tonight. Service was awesome!!! The service at the Firehall used to be hit-or-miss, but it has been great the past few months. I saw a gentlemen (I assume a manager) walking around making sure every party was having a great experience.
The Firehall is quickly climbing my list of favorite restaurants in the Oakville area. The Firehall is located in Bronte.
It's a decent bar, with a fairly big patio that is nice in the summer. Nothing too special about this place, and the few times I have been here there weren't too many other patrons.
It serves typical bar food and drinks. The theme makes it a bit different. But I wouldn't come too far out of my way to dine here.
I recommend this place for groups of friends, for drinks, food, and maybe watching...
more
Wings - Fantastic!!!! Especially tuesdays when its 2 for 1 and the place is packed with lineups out the door.
Service - Terrible, and everyone who goes there knows it but we still go for the wings and other food.
No doubt you will do a double take when you glance at the staff wearing fire fighters clothing. Not the actual 911 call mocks, but merely a more subdued blue uniform. We really felt at home and settled in quickly. Our server was charming the first time we went....was many years ago and yet we still remember it so clearly.... more
Wow! I can't believe I have the pleasure of being the first to review! Seriously?? The BF aka bottomless-pit-of-a-stomach and I debated one day while sitting at Duffs on College, "Who had the best wings?" Me and my narrow mind insisted that THIS (Duffs) was the place to enjoy big, saucy and delicious wings. He lives in Burlington and he insisted that no, it's the Firehall in Oakville sporting... more
Make sure you keep track of what you ordered and count your change.
Major attitude, minimal service!
Not to mention the danger of not being able to get to work the next day!
Great place to go ! great patio , great food ,great service time after time,awesome wings that rank in the top 5 of the best i have had .
Firehall Cool Bar Hot Grill The offers these services: restaurant.
