Fireside Steakhouse & Lounge in Iowa

"Best salad bar ever! Such good atmosphere and real good food."

"Always an amazing place to eat. The drive through the Loess hills will make the long drive worth heading to Anthon. Most meals come with the salad bar which I did not take a photo of but has many choices on it. The prime rib was easily one of the best that we have ever eaten! The alfredo sauce was so creamy and the garlic bread went well with it. Our favorite part of coming here is the ice cream at the end of our meal! Not many places serve ice cream with the meals anymore, so this brings back memories! Take the trip to Anthon and have a wonderful meal!"

"Decent small town steakhouse with a nice salad and soup bar. Found it on our roadtrip heading home and decided it would be a great option for a Sunday night dinner. Very clean and nice establishment. Food was good, not over the top great, but no complaints. Service was extremely fast paced. I’d go back if I was in the area."

"Best steaks around awsome service. Huge salad bar! If you go ask for Joyce."

"If you’re tired of standing out in the cold for hours waiting for a table at the chain restaurants just for a smackle of honey flavored butter, then unchain yourself and take the short drive southeast of Sioux City to Anthon and it’s Fireside Steakhouse & Lounge. Stepping in to a modern dining room, we had the option of eating in the lounge - an old school “at home” feeling of wood paneling, charming fireplace and stocked bar serving thirsty locals - like the kind of Iowa locals that look like they know their beef. Tender steaks, famous prime rib, steamy baked potatoes and creamy Alfredo are all on the menu and most meals include their stocked salad and soup bar. The soup? A true manly man soup - it had steak in it! We took the drive out after a suggestion to dine here, the suggestion being “you must go!”. Everything was filling, flavorful and fabulous! Service was attentive and we got a potato with real butter to go. Put on some tunes, take the drive and try this local classic (they’ve seriously been open for decades) for a carnivores dream in Anthon “my kind of town”."

"We decided to change our anniversary tradition and stop at Fireside instead. Wow! The food was amazing and we definitely over ordered. So delicious and the cheesecake for our anniversary was so very appreciated. Thank you for a great evening."

"What a fantastic steakhouse environment! Fantastic meal tonight with Prime rib - I ordered a 30oz prime rib and my wife got a 12oz. I enjoy mine rare, while she gets hers medium rare. Something I appreciate is that Fireside knows their steak! Fantastic cut, minimal fat waste, and cooked to perfection for both of our plates. Our waitress, Kelsey, was always checking in on us making sure we were doing good, keeping drinks full, and updated on meal's progress. Our 1 yr old son was flirting with all the waitresses, who continually smiled and interacted with him. We love the small town atmosphere with a big city taste. Well worth the drive from Sioux City or anywhere if you want steak done right!"

"Small town steakhouse, but a good one to find. Large place with a signature vegetable beef soup on the salad bar that uses pieces of their prime rib for the beef in it. They are known for prime rib, but I found (most people I talk to agree) that it’s not as good as it was years ago. The meat is good, and cooked right, but it’s missing the flavorful outer rub that it used to have and what you are used to when getting prime rib somewhere. Salad bar has a good selection, and items are fresh. Most menu choices have been quite good. Was not a big fan of the Alfredo. You can see in my picture, it’s a lot of noodles while you search for the sauce. Over all, this is a place to try. Make a good place when out on a nice day on the motorcycle to stop for a meal."
