Christine’s Firehouse: A Culinary Gem in North Kansas City

Great food. Live bands. Great menu choices. Good variety of all things. Love it. Bring friends and enjoy.

Place was clean, busy and quick to serve! One of the best Tenderloins I've had, breaded to perfection and the pork was cooked perfectly. Be ready to have leftovers!

The Tenderloin was fantablous!!! It was ready with in about 7-10 minutes alot quicker than we expected. It was HUGE!!!! It had good seasoning and you could tell it was not a frozen. I cannot speak highly enough about the food. The service on the other hand sucked we felt like the bartenders must have been hungover because they never smiled or never knew it was our 1st time there. It was not very busy so we should have gotten a better experience. There were 2 people working the tables and the bar together. I would have given 5 stars if the service would have been more personal. You don't wait to smile at a guest when you are ready to take the tip.

The pork tenderloin was amazing! My husband got the Reuben and was equally impressed.

After a hike we were craving a tenderloin sandwich. Ordered for take out one Pork Tenderloin Sandwich to split and it was so good! Easily fed 2 of us with leftovers for just $16, tasty, crispy curly fries on the side were also good. Definitely worth the stop.

For a long time I've heard about this locally famous restaurant. I have friends who eat here all the time. This place is about as local as you can get. It's the place where, truly, everyone knows your name. The food is standard bar fare. Fried mushrooms, onion rings, fried pickles, potato skins and such for appetizers. Nothing unusual or unique for appetizers. We had the breaded mushrooms and they were very good. Main dishes include hamburgers, taco salad, wings, nachos and so much more. They have plenty of salad choices, as well. Their main draw is the pork tenderloin. It's HUGE. Seriously. It's gigantic. It's so big the menu says it comes with a to-go container. LOL. It's easily the size of a large dinner plate. The food is good despite it being bar fare. I had a beer battered po boy and it was very good. The beer battered fries were equally tasty. You certainly won't go hungry at this restaurant. The service was great. We had a very nice and professional server. He was polite and attentive. He added to our dining experience, for sure. All the other servers seemed equally as efficient and good at their craft. This restaurant was easy to access and it did not take us long to get a table. You could tell there were quite a few regulars who seemed right at home. So many restaurants are losing that local feel. We aren't regulars but we were right at home, as well. Everyone made us feel welcome There's nothing fancy about anything anything in this restaurant. The theme is firefighters. They have some interesting firefighting decor displayed about the restaurant. It was interesting to look at all the knickknacks. They have quite an eclectic collection. The artifacts alone are worth a star.

Fun little dive bar in NKC with awesome tenderloins! I stopped in last weekend to try a tenderloin to go and wasn't disappointed. The establishment is pretty small and it was packed because they had a live band. The band was fun so we ended up staying to have a few drinks and an app. They don't have drink menus and they don't have specials but most drinks are between $3-4. We tried the fried mushrooms and they came out super fast. They were delicious and I'd get them again. We also got the tenderloin and added an extra bun. The sandwiches are huge! They were well made with a nice crunchy coating but still juicy and not dried out. I opted for the beer battered fries for a side. They were also good. The service was awesome considering how busy they were and how loud it was. I was surprised that the waitress could even hear the order.

I read about this place and their very large tenderloin sandwiches. So, I am thinking how they get it so big. Is the meat pounded very thin. They show a picture of the meat on a bin, is this a very small bun. We gave it a try. What a great sandwich. To my skepticism: the meat is the perfect thickness. The bun is a regular size bun. The tenderloin is huge. Have included a fork in the picture so you can get a feel for how big this is. Two of us ate got one sandwich and even in that we took home half of the tenderloin. Love how on the menu they offer to get another bun with toppings, which we did (slight additional charge). It also comes with a side. We got French fries. They were very good and a huge serving, more than we could finish. Just about everyone we saw was getting a container to take home their leftovers. And the pricing, very reasonable or almost cheap. All around a great place to go. Can't wait to go back. They have a lot of other things on their menu that we want to try. Very casual atmosphere with cordial servers
