  My partner and I went years ago when it first opened and it was mediocre then...we have not been back and decided to give it a try reading the reviews. Firstly I would like to address our waitress. She was sweet and tended to our every need. The atmosphere was fine, lighting was a little dim for me but that's my own taste. Their non-alcoholic drinks should really include not just diet sodas but more zero sugar options as well there were only 2 drinks to choose from that didn't have sugar. (Just something to think about) The food was mediocre at best. My partner and I got 2 different things to share first is the mean bean burger ( black bean burger) with sweet potatoe fries. While the top fries were piping hot and fresh the fries under the fresh ones were burnt and cold. Like they were trying to hide them just to get rid of what they had left to minimize food waste or something...like someone wouldn't notice. My black bean burger was fine. They definitely do not make their own patties... The star of that meal was the cilantro lime sauce that was on the burger so good! Second was the 2 meat dinner with brisket, pulled pork potato salad, mashed potatoes and red beans and rice. The brisket was okay lacked some flavor how ever was nice and tender. The pulled pork on the other hand was definitely sub par at best the quality absolutely did not match the price tag (on any of it).The red beans and rice really really lacked flavor honestly I would have through it came from a zatarain's box but there was no salt either. Mashed potatoes were not bad but whatever bacon concoction was on top was burnt and bitter. The potato salad was fine and reminded me of someone's Grammy tried to spice hers up from the Facebook or something. All in all unfortunately the food was absolutely lacking flavor and just as mediocre as the first time we went.

  Mac and cheese and drinks are so good here. One time I had severely overcooked pulled pork and the staff were so quick to remedy the situation and were so apologetic and nice about it.

  I ordered to go, so can't comment on physical experience, but this grill needs to be cleaned. My ribeye was a little raw on the inside(no complaint there) and burned so strongly on the outside it was very bitter. I like a good char but this thing tasted like it was cooked at 1000° and had little seasoning other than grill. The potatoes and apple sauce were amazing. I would honestly go back and try something else

  I had such a great dining experience at Food & Fire!!! We found this place in a Google search while in the area. I went there specifically for the vegan/vegetarian options. I had the beyond sausage with peppers and onions. I have celiac so I asked for mine with a gluten free bun. Everything was delicious. This will definitely be our go-to when we're back in the Binghamton area.
