L & M Firehouse

Portion sizes are good but that’s about it. Service is terrible. Waited 15 minutes for someone to take our order and there were only 2 other people in the place. The water was so bad i wouldn’t let my kids drink it. The kids liked their French toast. My hash browns had no seasoning and my biscuits and gravy were barely warm.

I like this place. Really only bar in town but I still dig it. A lot of people have said things about the staff or owner I personally haven’t notice anything wrong or offensive. Wish they would play other football games tho when it’s football season again. I need my chargers firehouse buy the ticket and you’ll see me every game day promise :)

Service was good and so was the food. We didn’t have the bad service other people have had so I guess we got lucky? We had burgers (I think).

I will no longer be going here due to firing of most of the good staff, being I solely went there for the staff. Now that most of the good staff is gone, there is no point in going there.

Great place to dance! I dance my ass off when I am there! Some changes in staff but most bars seem to have a high turn ratio. I mean it is a bar. The menu has so many options and it can be a bit much, but the selection to pick from is great!

I used to go here frequently (Wednesday’s and most Saturday’s) and will not drop another penny into the place. The owner treats her staff horribly, has poor business sense, lost her gambling license (no more pull tabs), and has no regard for her customers! Her weekly entertainment is less than mediocre, and if it weren’t for the great staff (who are no longer there) there is no reason to go. Unless you’re a hard up drunk, you should have no problem driving to the next nearby bar, where the business isn’t owned by a baboon! No doubt this place will sink, it’s been for sale for too long, time for a new owner! I’m usually all for small, local business owners, but not in this instance!

This place has gone downhill fast in the last year! Spend your hard earned money at an establishment at a business that wants your patronage, not at one where the manager sits at the bar drunk berating customers.

As a previous reviewer posted, this used to… and I repeat… USED to be my go to bar… or CHEERS as she called it. But I will never set foot in that place, nor spend a single penny there until the current owner is out of there. If you want a tutorial on how to Not run a bar, and instead run it into the ground… then by all means, come check this place out. The only reason we all liked going there, and kept going back for many many years, was because of the STAFF. They were amazing. Always had a great time there, and the staff made it their priority to make sure everyone was having a great time, and getting served quickly. Today, some of that most awesome staff that works there, were fired. No reason given. Basically an, I don’t need you anymore, and a hangup of the phone. Who wants to be a patron of a small town establishment, who treats their employees like this. Not I. Nor does anyone else I know that used to go there and call this «their bar» It hasn’t even been a full day, and I know of 2 events that were scheduled to be here next weekend. And they have already been moved to a new venue. We will follow our staff to whatever bar or restaurant they end up at.
The sharks are circling this place… it’s going down fast… watch out for the undertow…

The food is always good and the waitress is always super friendly. The tater tots are my favorite, total bar food. I agree with other Reviews the place could be a little cleaner but over all it’s a great place to grab a bite.

I went in on a Wednesday around lunch time. I was with a volksmarch group. We must have had around 25 people in our group. There was only one waitress working. I was a little concerned, but I have to say she did a fabulous job. We just got done walking a 10K in Orting so she brought out plastic glasses and several pitchers of water to start. She took everyone’s order quickly and the food started to come out shortly after. She did a really nice job of keeping everything straight. She did this all and kept her sense of humor too.
I was impressed with the food I ordered and I thought the food everyone else ordered looked good too. The salads were huge. The onion rings looked very impressive. I’d like to go back to try a few of the other things on the menu.

This review is based on ONE experience! It’s dirty and the staff is unfriendly. The vodka cran was the one saving grace. Atmosphere is uncomfortable and rushed which offsets the entire community’s low key lifestyle.
The food though… Delicious and well priced. I wish they’d train their staff to be accommodating and polite.
Maybe I’m asking too much because it is after all a bar.

Wasn’t impressed.
We wanted to try something new & my Husband and I and our kids went in & we didn’t feel welcome at all, we felt off like we didn’t belong. The waitress was nice but their soda machine was broken and said all I have is lemonade well I felt at that point she should of not charged for my drink since they didn’t have the machine working but that wasn’t the case. I feel if you’re not a local there you just don’t fit in. The food was cooked in old oil as well as wasn’t good.

Service was horrible. Albeit we had a relatively large group, but we had to wait 20 minutes to order, the waitress forgot our drink orders and had to come back and ask. Then, we waited for another 45 minutes for our food to come out.
The food was okay – typical pub fare with a lot of fried food. I didn’t order a drink, but a person from our party said her rum and coke was pretty strong, so I guess that’s a highlight.
I would never come here again because we waited a total of about an hour for our food.

Well we went there with some friends cause we’re from out of town. I will say the wait staff was friendly and the food was good. But after last night I was shocked ! It was closing time and some girl at the bar started yelling get the f out? Well I come to find out from the locals it was the apprentice new bar manager sitting at the bar yelling this out loud. She was pretty wasted ! I can say that if you treat customers like this or act this way it’s not cool. Having a business in a small town where you rely on locals for business and also support there don’t act this way. She then came outside to get in the face of a customer put it over the edge. She starts screaming outside at another ladies and then her own security had to pull her away and try to get her to leave? She may need to take a class on people skills !!!

Very popular bar for bikers. Busy even at 3 on a Sunday afternoon. Just one waitress but she was friendly and prompt. Makes for a nice stop on a motorcycle trip. Food is good, but I wouldn’t recommend bringing the kids. If you are a biker like me, you’ll love this place. If you’re a prude expecting instant service and people to kiss your a$$, pass it by.

Very solid. Karaōke is funny, they don’t play mariners games because they are too cheap, and the draft beers are a little too domestic, but overall, the food is good. The atmosphere is very genuine.

Very very disappointed with the friday special. First waitress threw a menu at us and asked us «what do you want to drink?» Second waitress tall blonde was very pleasant and made the dining experience a little better. had Fish and Chips for 7.99. Clam chowder was good except is was only luke warm and not hot. All 4 of us ordered the same except for two had fish with chips which were limp and overdone. I had fish with Jojos which were so dark and burnt I couldn’t eat them. My husband had tater tots with his. They were ok … All of the fish pieces were in edible because of thembeing overdone. Or cooked in old oil. :(.

When we first got here the place was packed but everyone had a good time. Drinks are good and our server Wendy was awesome. She was very attentive and we never waited long for a drink. Our food took awhile to get but was well worth the wait. The portions were good. You won’t leave here hungry! We had the taco salad which was huge and the taco meat was very flavorful. We also had the patty melt, which was amazing! Lots of onions and cheese. We will most definitely be back.

This was truly an interesting adventure. Price of beer for a pitcher was outstanding. Ordered a pitcher of Manny’s and we believe ended up with Mac & Jack. Tap lines crossed?
Gizzards were chewy but flavorful. Chicken fried stake was easy to cut with a fork and good flavor.
Chicken breasts were undercooked. Took them home and finished cooking them. The canned vegetables were overcooked and mushy :-(.
Service was very good and waitress was attentive to our requests, thanks!
Probably a great bar to shoot pool and dance on the weekend but we won’t be coming back.

We stumbled by this place today at lunch while doing business in Orting. Looks nice from the outside, with a large parking lot. Inside is pretty nice too, considering this is a full bar (beer, wine & hard drinks). VERY nice waitress — she made recommendations, and they were spot on.
We both had the chowder to start — about the best restaurant chowder we’ve had — the waitress told us they make it up fresh from scratch every morning, and boy does it taste like it.
Anne had the Jenny burger and I had the bacon cheeseburger. Fabulous! Thick and juicy — with lots of goodies on them — fresh onions, tomatoes and lettuce. The flavor of the meat was excellent. I had the «homemade fries» which were excellent as well. Anne had the tots.
Just bear in mind it’s a full bar — HUGE food menu and all, but it’s a bar. So I imagine at night it can get rather loud and rambunctious — so if that’s not your thing, I’d consider this a great lunch stop only. Bathrooms weren’t very nice… the men’s room was pretty dirty and Anne said one of the toilets in the women’s was no longer attached to the floor!
But all in all, a great place to grab a very good lunch while in town.
