The best tri tip sandwiches and fries can only be found at Firestone Grill in SLO! A great place for families, Cal Poly students, business colleagues and sports fans. The bar area has multiple large flat screens on the walls with everything from basketball, baseball, football and golf being shown. There is a fantastic outdoor area where you can leisurely... more

Stopped by nearly by mistake. The line was 30-40 people ahead of us. We decided to wait - good choice. My wife had the the BBQ Tri-Tip and raved about it. She loves Tri-Tip and reported it was the best she's had. I had the BBQ pulled pork - it was excellent. The meat was lean and cooked just right.... more

Having worked and lived in the area my whole life, I frequent this restaurant. They have very good food no matter what you are craving. The wait is usually minimal considering the amount of patrons waiting for food. I do not mind the noisy atmosphere as mentioned before, it is a sports bar. The only complaint is that the food... more

Because of the rave reviews I went for the tri tip. WOW!!! It was so tasty I couldn't stop eating it. I would've been fine eating half and taking the other half home. Next time I'll TRY to show some restraint and do that. Make sure you get a side of bar-b-q sauce. It is over the top!!! Can't wait... more

I guess the management/ownership has found a way to keep the lines of waiting people from wrapping around the block. Although the food is generally very good (the tri-tip is EXCELLENT), the employees get away with behavior that would get them fired in most other "service industry" establishments. I have read the other reviews, and most of them recount behaviors... more

After 6 years of visiting our frat son through college, I must say we will truly miss our regular trips to Fireside!! The tri-tip, salads and onion rings are amazing!! The place is always busy, which says everything! I can speak for our entire family...even G&G :) The sports bar is fun even for little brother who watches bull riding... more

Great food, but the management and staff make this place, undesirable to eat. I have been going for years, and yes, it is always busy... but everyone knows that, and you just deal with the hustle and bustle. I was asked to give up my table, for others. My friend and I still had drinks and food to consume. I... more

I ordered a well done tri tip. It was not, so I asked server to cook more. Server blew up, took bun in uncovered hand than looked through each slice of tri tip while another server took other half of sandwich in uncovered hand and looked through each slice, than pulled out a slice and angrily waved it at me... more

I have been to Firestone many times and never had a problem. I always sit outside to enjoy the fresh air. I either order a steak salad, or burger. I've never had any problem with the food or help. Let's face it, if you've been there before, you know their ALWAYS busy, which means they have little time to stop... more
