Fireside Foundry — Restaurant in Richfield

The entire rating is dedicated to food, which overall could use some improvement. My friend and I came to have a good time and overall we managed to do so, especially with the courtesy that our server was able to demonstrate. I will mainly elaborate on the food below.

For the Asian fries, having boneless short rib on top of the fries was a good idea as it offered the option to have succulent meat on top of the fries. However, the thai sauce became too potent as I started finishing the fries on the top, and started dominating the taste, to the point that it became too sweet eventually. I think reducing the amount of sauce, or spreading the sauce around more, would help all the fries obtain that sweetness the sauce provides, and not make one part of the dish too much while another part not enough.

I have had the Philly as well, along with onion rings as the side. The onion rings had way too much dough outside the onions, and one bite felt like I was mainly tasting fried dough. The best part about the sandwich was the bread, as it had an adequate amount of crunch along with a toasted taste. The roast beef was overall pretty good as well. The onion pieces were a bit too small, while the green pepper pieces were undercooked so they were a bit hard. The proolone cheese was all on top and unfortunately did not mesh with everything else in the sandwich, to the point that I actually was able to remove the cheese by itself away from the sandwich. I would love to see the cheese mixed within everything else to become an integral part of the sandwich instead.

For the ice cream sandwich, the idea is great, as the cookies along with the ice cream offered two kinds of sweets. Letting it last for a bit longer before eating made it better because as the cookies softened, one pierce with the fork allowed my friend and me to eat both the cookie and the ice cream in one bite.

I must also mention that the place can get very noisy in the evening. My friend and I went on a Friday evening at around 7:30pm and it was very loud. This is just neutral information and something for people who intend to go there consider what vibe they are...

My boyfriend and I went here on a Friday night when it wasn't busy at all. He had had the pizza long ago, but this was my first time. It was during their 9-close happy hour where snacks were $2 off. My boyfriend ordered the fish and chips and I ordered two snacks for us to share. The bruschetta and the chips and queso de salsa. Our food took 30 minutes (remember it wasn't busy) and when we got it everything was cold. Also we weren't checked on during that 30 minutes so my soda glass sat empty for 15 minutes. The fries, cold, the fish, greasy and cold because it had been sitting there. The chips, which were supposed to be fried, were not even warm. The "queso" tasted like nacho cheese you can get at a gas station with salsa in it. And the bruschetta...ugh! It came on French bread and was cold and soggy. I said something to our waiter and he acted surprised and offered a free dessert, which I declined because we didn't want to try anything else. By the looks of the other reviews our experience may have been a one off. But for the price, once is all it takes for us not to go back. I gave it Two stars because we live in Richfield and support local businesses, otherwise I would have...

I have eaten here 4x and loved it until yesterday, I was showing this place off to a friend and the worker was very rude to us the moment we walked in. In informed us that there will be a wait but we didn’t mind because we weren’t in no rush. The inside was kind of full so we decided we wanted to eat outside since it was a nice day. The worker says, “you guys can eat outside but the tables are metal so that would make it cold” again we didn’t mind it was finally a nice day in Minnesota. The worker then says, “I’m busy inside so I wouldn’t be able to get to you guys fast” again this is fine because we are in no rush. We get outside and the workers says, “the tables are dirty you guys would have to wait at least 10 minutes before I clean them I’m busy inside”. Again we don’t mind! We sit outside for a least 5 minutes and tried to put the shade up and the worker rushes outside to our table to inform us that he his not ready for the outside patio to be opened. We were shocked because he just allowed us to sit outside. He then says, “this area is closed if you see anyone trying to sit out here tell them we are closed”. The guy was...
