Shelby Firehouse Tavern

Used to love the warm bread garlic spread. It's not half as good lately. The server was pleasant but not good. I'm sad to post a review that's not great, but this is the 2nd time we've had subpar food service here in the last year.I hope they can turn it around soon.

My husband and I tried this place about a year ago and had the absolute BEST ribs of our lives: they literally fell off the bone as you lift them out of the carryout box. Not only did they have those ribs but it came with breadsticks (with the most AMAZING dipping sauce), two side salads and fries. So so so good! The problem is...the last few months this place has been a hit or miss. Sometimes they don't have carryout available, sometimes they forget items and there's never a rhyme or reason. Maybe if we hadent had such high expectations then the disappointment of looking forward to getting ribs after the kids go to bed...only to find out they dont have carryout that night, wouldn't hurt so bad.

Went last night and will not come back. Not the cleanest, acoustics are terrible and food mediocre. We ordered fish chips and the breading was so thick and filled with grease so pulled off breading to get to the fish. Asked for mustard for my fries and got tiny mustard packs like I was at a deli or a fast food place. My date asked for ketchup and it comes in a little plastic cup. Really who serves ketchup and mustard that way at a restaurant that you have to pay $15.99 for your dinner. I remember when it was a halfway decent place but it is terrible. Our waiter was great so cudos to him.

Went here for 10 years until owners switched. Went back last week for dinner and was so disappointed at how things were changed to cut costs. Their Caesar salads is now iceberg instead of romaine. Food is served in red baskets instead of plates. Ambiance is terrible. Lighting too bright. Not a nice nightlife feel. The server we had made it seem like she was having the worst day of her life. I get it, I work in service. I don't always have perfect days. But that's when ya smile and make the most of your evening and actually pretend to care about your customers. Won't be back soon food is average ambiance is just ok. Reminds me of a family diner now.

Unless you live in Macomb County Michigan you won't get this-this place should be in South Warren. This is not a compliment. Passed it by many times and today was the day-Bad Idea. As I am wont to do, I sat at the bar. The bartender was slightly surly, cute as a button so the surliness may come from old perv's hitting on her but surly just the same. As fixated on the shrimp Cajun pasta which was basically very cheesy Mac and Cheese with three pieces of shrimp, some sausage and jalapeños. It did come with a side of cold soup. Also very poor tap, mostly weak American selections. All in all, this is one and done for me.
