   I've been to the Firehouse numerous times. The waitress staff are always UNPLEASANT and are always rushing around but not doing anything. There is NO salt & pepper on any of the tables which makes no sense to me cause you have to ask for it and then by the time it comes, your food is cold. The crab cakes are the best I have ever had in my life....I have noticed that they have gotten smaller in size which is disappointing. They have the best sweet potato fries! Yummy! Creme Brule for dessert is always good WHEN they have it....the past 3 times they were out of it....:(
   The Hook & Ladder is also a good choice....ribs & lobster tail.
   They have really good earth baked bread but it comes not sliced and they don't give you a knife....makes no sense. I've had it come out not hot and it wasn't very good.
   They also charge extra for a salad which most restaurants come with a salad, so if you add it, your meal becomes a bit pricey!
   Not a place for kids...no kids menu. It's also very loud in there and the parking is VERY LIMITED.

   Great place!!: My husband and I loved our experience. The atmosphere was unlike any other restaurant in Harrisburg. Very unique. We were greeted by a very friendly host, which we later understood was the owner. We were seated promptly and everything took off from there. Our server was attentive and friendly. Our food arrived in a timely fashion and was excellent. I think they have the best ceaser salads around. My husband loved his Firehouse Pasta. My stuffed chicken was perfect. For dessert, the chocolate peanut butter cake and the crème Brule was a perfect ending to a perfect meal. Also the drinks were very tasty. My husband had the firehouse bloody mary, which he said was spicy, but just how he liked it. I had the black martini, which everyone should try. All in all, a great experience. We will definitely return.
