Cool place and really nice bar/wait staff, the chicken steak was good but they were out of sub rolls and the jackfruit bbq was not so hot, I’ve heard great things and still think I might try again. Really open seating, nice sports bar-type area and has some pinball which is sweet, also the mojito was very very good and strong, so props to bar. They also have trivia nights that seem intense but fun. Interesting place with 2 single locking bathrooms, the best kind of bathroom around!!

A welcoming place for all people with good bar food and drinks. I had the house burger which was very good. The cider was delicious. My spouse had the Philly cheese steak in a gluten free wrap which was also very good. Our daughter had the vegan grill cheese and loved it.

Very good selection of beer. Nice variety of food, not just your basic burger and fries place. Healthy options and vegan selections are ample.

I have Alpha Gal Syndrome. This wonderful staff and owner made me feel safe and accepted when I told them about my allergy to anything from a mammal. Without batting an eye, easily answered questions and accommodated safety needs so I could order food without fear.

Here’s my local guide honest review. Firefly is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. I love that they are green restaurant certified. I heard one time that even the food scraps go to feed pigs on a farm. Besides that the food is amazing and they have an extensive vegan menu. Brunch is also a favorite of mine. And you have to try the tachos at least once in your life! Here are a few pics from our gals lunch. Two are fully vegan entrees. The outdoor seating is great.

My whole family LOVES Firefly and it is absolutely our go-to place sometimes twice a week even for after school fun or weekend dinner. My kids love the popcorn chicken and their trademark tater tots but love the welcoming atmosphere and of course arcade games even more. We always feel so comfortable there – seating inside or outside, and we parents love the salads, sandwiches, and drink list! We loved it so much we recently had a family birthday party there and so easily organized a delicious colorful buffet for friends, reserved seating, and “open bar” while kids sat at their own table and joyfully played pinball. Melissa and Jennifer are so welcoming and accommodating for EVENT planning like this, and the staff so patient and helpful. Thank you Firefly for being here!

Absolutely loved this restaurant, with welcoming staff and a fun atmosphere, it is a definite recommendation! With bingo and fun arcade games, it was absolutely awesome! Plus, the food was really good. I got their Mahi Tuna salad with a Shirley Temple. It all tasted really lovely and was a recommendation from our waitress who was really sweet! Thank you Firefly for the wonderful experience!

Very friendly staff. Neat atmosphere and delicious food! They had a huge vegan menu and could make most things gluten free too. There was a long non-alcoholic menu too, which is a plus for someone who doesn’t drink alcohol but wants something fun to drink. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Awesome local find for gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and local food. The service was fantastic! They had a big patio, mostly covered, that is pet friendly. And even brought our dog water with ice in it.

Great little place with some great vintage games. We only stopped for some games and some snacks, but I had the chicken wonton nachos, and they were one of the best apps I’ve ever had! Get them now! I’d go back just for that app!
