What a great place! They have really listened to their customers. They have grown into a great destination. Nice place to go for casual or special occasion. Recently decided to go there after our Son’s graduation from High school-plus the Penguins were playing game 6. They set us up with great outdoor table looking into bar TVs. Every entrée and appetizer were done well, excellent choices of local beers and wine – and topped it off by comping the Graduate’s dinner. Food, Staff, Owners and atmosphere all top notch!

Great place to eat in Irwin PA! The wedge salad is fantastic, portion sizes are nice and big. Come hungry because you will want to eat!

Stopped in just before happy hour, the place was empty, two tables and an empty bar. I ordered a Long Island ice tea and shrimp tacos. The Long Island was badly poured and excessively tart. The shrimp«tacos» were served on very lightly toasted pita bread. The shrimp were unseasoned. I sat at the bar as I was alone. There were three patrons at the bar when I left at 530. Surprisingly, the bartender brought my check without asking if I wanted anything else. I got the distinct impression that they just didn’t care. I said good bye when I left, three employees standing by the door stared blankly. An average rating is a kindness. Perhaps it was an off day. But if you don’t know the difference between a taco and pita bread…

Went on opening night. Service was not that good but food was. I guess it was opening night that made the service bad. Going to give another try though

This is my second home… Excellent, always rotating tap selection, amazing chef who sources locally yet has culinary experience throughout the country, owners who are always friendly and almost always on-site, a manager who coordinates ever-changing events including monthly wine and beer dinners, and an outdoor patio that is centered around — you guessed it — a firepit. The only reason that this place gets anything less than rave reviews is because many people are used to the standard, generic, Applebee’s or Chili’s crap food that is served the instant you order it. Good food takes time folks — if you can’t deal with that, go to a chain restaurant for your frozen, greasy, preservative– and sodium-filled meals. If you want a real culinary experience at reasonable prices, go to The Firepit… although I kind of hate to give away western Pennsylvania’s best-kept restaurant secret.

Went for lunch & food was ok. Wasn’t busy & didn’t have the greatest service. I got soft tacos and they were soggy by the time they were brought to the table. My fiancé got the crab cake sandwich & it was a hit… he loved it! Will go back in summer to check out the outdoor seating section.

Our family came to dinner here and the food was good. The Caesar salad was delicious and the kids loved the wings. The pretzel appetizer was yummy! We had good service and didn’t wait long for our food. Love having more restaurant choices in Irwin!

Great food and atmosphere but a lot lacking in the wait staff. Don’t get me wrong they are friendly but just SLOW but I still go back for the food.

I had the pleasure of dining for lunch at the Firepit and was glad I finally tried it! I had the kale salad and my husband had the fish sandwich, both of which were very good! I loved the atmosphere and our service was excellent. Price was moderate, I felt in line for that type of restaurant. So happy to see a restaurant in the Irwin area with menu selections that are current with how people like to eat nowadays!

We had a wonderful lunch today here. Service was great as well as the food! The flatbreads were good and so were the other appetizers we had. Burgers are very good as well as the brisket! We will be going back very soon!

The Irwin area is finally picking up the pace with all of the new restaurants opening up. I like seeing these new ventures and added excitement. My friend and I decided to meet here for a light dinner. When I arrived the place was fairly packed. The hostess asked if I wanted a high table or a low table. Apparently, the right answer was to opt for the high table because I was seated right away. The couple waiting ahead of me asked the hostess if she forgot about them and she replied that I chose a high table and they chose a low table and one was not available yet. The happy hour drink and food menu is featured between 5 – 7. We arrived a few minutes before 7 so we were able to take advantage of a drink special and we tried the grilled pretzels which was served with a great tasting mustard sauce. I must admit I didn’t study the menu that well because I quickly decided to try the beef brisket sandwich. I did notice they have burgers, wraps, salads and a few high end entrees etc. The brisket sandwich was ordinary but not in a bad way. I think I was expecting a little more flavor and the wow factor to kick in. My friend chose the chicken quesadilla’s from the happy hour menu and the portion size was enough for a meal. I like the atmosphere and design of this place. It was a bit noisy but I suppose noisy is the in thing these days. They have a great outdoor patio area complete with a lit fire pit and they have a stash of blankets on hand in case you feel a little chilled. I plan to make a return visit to try out the menu again. I hope this isn’t one of those places that cant find it’s niche and keeps making changes to get there.

The service was quick, the food was delicious! Best place in north huntingdon! Our bartender was on point the entire time. The owner was checking in on customers, which really tells alot about the place. I recommend!

There’s some good and bad about this place. I have been there twice. The bad: Parking is on the opposite side of the entrance. Being seated takes 5 minutes even when all the tables are empty. Food is mediocre. Portions are small. Prices lean to the high side. Menu is limited. The good: Nice décor. Extremely clean. Large staff. Great craft beer selection. Friendly waitresses. I will give them more time to work things out and try again in the future. When Doublewide Grill opened near the same time I didn’t think the area could support two similar restaurants. If you look at the number of customers at each place DWG is very busy and TFP is empty. I hope they work it out. Edit 12⁄29: The owners should have scheduled a road trip to Texas to see what brisket is supposed to taste like.

Love this place. Went to lunch with a friend and the vibe/atmosphere was great. The service was also very good. I got the Carolina brisket sandwich and it was full of flavor and cooked perfect. Looking forward to going there again.

Came here on Black Friday for dinner and beers. Was expecting a long wait but we were seated in the bar area right away. Our service was really good, as our server took it on herself to split the meals for my wife and I after we told her we were going to share. That was something I’d not experienced before without asking for it and it made a very good impression. We had the grilled pretzels for an appetizer and they were awesome as were the stone ground mustard and the chorizo sauce for dipping. We split a wedge salad, which was also very good and the Cuban sandwich. The fries were excellent and the sandwich was pretty good though it was not a traditional Cuban sandwich with the pulled pork and ham. They used sliced pork loin instead which made the sandwich a little dry but again, still tasty. All in all we liked this place very much for a date night spot and we will be back.

Came here after the restaurant I was planning on going to was booked. The inside was typical new restaurant that looks like they built super fast and didn’t use quality materials. We were served quite fast. Sat at a table not the bar. The food was alright. Had a burger and salad with steak. The portions were smaller than most restaurants like this. There were only 6 pieces of steak with the salad when you paid a considerable amount more to add. The ingredients were fresh which I liked. Overall, for the quality of the food and atmosphere, the price of food didn’t meet expectations. If they had better specials or happy hour deals would go back. But not paying full price

The restaurant décor and atmosphere were nice. A little dark but I like that. We sat at a high top table by the bar, got a little noisy but not terrible. I had the special which was fried chicken, smashed potatoes and cole slaw. Chicken was seasoned really well, potatoes were just average. Cole slaw tasted homemade, was very creamy. Portions were huge, I got 2 meals out of it. I would definitely go back to try something else. A little on the pricey side, I think my meal was around $ 20 but again, I got 2 meals out of it so it was worth it.

Brisket sandwich not bad but ask for extra napkins it was quite messy and if you like the taste of bbq ask for extra sauce on the side… burger a little over cooked… nice restaurant was very clean both in the bar as well as restaurant areas… no need to wear a sweater here though, the fire pit is a good name… if you are a middle aged woman wear short sleeves, it was a bit toasty.

The wait was about 30 mins on a Friday, not too bad. However the food was very disappointing. I got the salmon $ 21.50, it was quiet possibly the smallest piece of salmon I have ever seen. I get bigger ones from giant eagle for $ 8! I was finished with it before my husband finished half of his burger. {that NEVER happens} His burger had balsamic greens, mushrooms and fluffed goat cheese… That thing should have been packed with flavor, sadly it had none. There was an optional free bread and oil basket– it was«warm» read soggy pita and some kind of unleavened cracker type thing… The green oil was nondescript. It’s like the chef has no palate… Nothing has flavor. I don’t understand. I wanted to like it, it has a very inviting outside seating area, the dining room has a nice look. The waitstaff is very nice and were there when you needed them and not hovering. Maybe we will try again in a few months to see if they have gotten their stride.

I have tried a few of their offerings such as: Wood Grilled Pretzels which I don’t think belong any where near a grill but to each his own. Carolina Brisket sandwich which I have to be honest was so bad that not only did I send it back but I seriously wanted to offer the chef some advice on how to bring this dish up to par. It lacked a flavor profile and would have been beaten hands down by anything at your local summer fair. I traded it in for the Salmon BLT(which I got sans bacon since I don’t eat pork). It was perfectly cooked and not over done; definitely will order again. On another occasion I had the Turkey and Brie Burger and it is absolutely excellent! The turkey patty is well seasoned and I appreciated the way the Brie and apple onion jam pair well together. Lastly I have had the Sweet & Salty Cheesecake and I like it. It has a nice consistency and who doesn’t like a sweet n salty flavor? I have had a few of their drinks as well and they don’t hold anything back on the liquor so drink responsibly. The service is above average and I feel welcomed whenever I enter this place of business.

My wife and I stopped in there for lunch on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago. She ordered a salad and I ordered a steak. The steak ended up being very thin and over done. Very disappointing. Service was good. Atmosphere not so great; we couldn’t hear each other talk due to the sound being turned up very loud on a football game no one was paying attention to. Hard to say how this place will do; I don’t think it’s the right formula for the area. I won’t be back.

My husband and I really wanted to love the FirePit. We waited anxiously for it to open and then waited a month for them to work out the kinks before trying it. When we arrived we were told it would be a 10 min wait for a table(at 5pm on a Saturday, not bad!). We had a drink at the lovely bar and were seated in 10 min. We then waited for 15 min before anyone came to our table and only bc we approached a manager. We had the chips, guac and salsa appetizer– won’t get it again– guac was bland and salsa was not anything special. My husband had a burger that was dry and I had the shrimp tacos, which were ok. The highlight of our meals was the delicious fries and the extensive beer list. Overall, our dining experience was not great. We may go back for the bar atmosphere but considering the service was terrible and the food lackluster… It’ll be a while.

We’ve been to The Fire Pit three times now, and we are definitely a fan! The salads are very good — and a nice size for the money. The Southwest Chicken Dip is excellent as an appetizer. The Chicken Chili was very good, but a bit thin for my taste(I love thick chili). The Carolina Brisket nachos were OK, but not sure if we’d ever order it again. The Pit Burger, in my opinion, was one of the best better burgers I have EVER tasted — very flavorful and juicy. We are looking forward to exploring more of the menu. The service was very good and the wait staff very friendly. The only real ‘con’ is the wait times(for the food) can be longer than you would expect for a restaurant that size. But I think it’s due to the fact that it is a new restaurant — so hopefully that will be worked out in the future. Overall, a very good dining experience.

My fiancé and I were super excited to watch this place being built every time we went to target. When it finally opened, we could wait to see the inside because a name like«The Fire Pit» sounds awesome. The decorations were pretty basic, not a lot of fire pits like I was expecting. The bar is huge and has a garage door that can open to give it an open air bar feel. The menu is mostly made up of trendy BBQ dishes. Unfortunately, the dinner entrees are not available until after 4 so, we stuck with an entrée and shared a 3 chicken taco dish. The Brisket Nachos that our waitress recommended were amazing, huge, and very filling. After having an incredible 1st dish, we were a little disappointed with the lack of flavor in our chicken tacos. The prices are average and the food and service are above average. Therefore, we agreed that we would be back! Next time we will defineitly come after 4 to have more options on the menu and to take advantage of their Happy Hour from 5 – 7.

My husband and I visited The Fire Pit with another couple two weeks ago on a Saturday night. We arrived around 7pm and were told it would be an hour wait — although there were a lot of empty tables in the restaurant and bar area. We were seated in 30 minutes which was awesome. Ordered a few appetizers(chips and salsa and a beer pretzel w/cheese). The chips were ok and the salsa had a strange yellow color — I would not pick this item again. The drinks were great and the bar is very cool. I ordered tuna steak and my husband got a burger. Food was average and so was the presentation. I would try this place again, only because they are still NEW and probably need to work out the menu and seating issues.
