Reviews of The Firebox Restaurant & Pizzeria Belvidere IL

I was very excited to try this place as I have heard good things. Went in for dinner tonight and ordered food & drinks. We were served both our appetizers and our pizza before even getting our drinks. Crab Rangoons were so burnt they were black. Mac & Cheese bites were great. I asked the bar where the drinks were on three different occasions, received attitude and was asked to go sit back down. Our drinks finally came after about 40 minutes and they weren’t even what we ordered! I asked to speak to a manager and the lady who spoke with me was very apologetic and gave me a refund on the drinks. Pizza was good & service sucked, but I did appreciate the sincerity from the manager who had very clearly just started her shift. I Will not be back.

I don't write reviews, but this place will go out of business. Bad service -even seated at the bar, okay food -spring roll and peanut sauce were awful, and low standard bar offerings. You don't use mixes for things like a Moscow Mule when you describe it by the actual ingredients. So disappointed. I really like dining in Belvidere, but won't go back. I'm in HR. I know competent employees are hard to find, so the owners better step in themselves. Been there, done that. Good luck.

One of the nicer places available in Boone County for dining. Excellent indoor/outdoor patio area. The best atmosphere of any restaurant in the area, so it is a great place for meetings and business lunches.

The pizza and fried brussel sprouts tasted good and looked good, and it all came out pretty fast. The servers were kind, helpful. The flow of service seemed unpracticed, so we ended up participating in the service more than I expected we would. The prices were high in my opinion for the food (comes out to about $2 for a lightly-topped piece of pizza the size of my hand), but the experience was comfortable.

Very tasty bar.food in a clean well lit bar. Beef sandwiches, combos, Mac n cheese bites, fresh salad all great. Pleasant and attentive staff. A very good lunch stop.
