How the Community Reacted
When the news came out, customers and workers were filled with emotion. One former worker said,
“I’ve worked at a lot of restaurants, but this one is the best.” “Rest in peace, Fireside. I love you.”
Another person talked about how they met their spouse while working at Fireside, which shows how deep human connections can be made there.
One customer remembered that Fireside was one of the few places that was still open after Hurricane Sandy, giving them warmth and comfort during a tough time.
More Than Just a Restaurant
More than just a place to eat, Fireside Grill & Bar was a hub for the neighborhood. Fireside was a friendly place for everyone, whether they were watching a game, marking a birthday, or just having a meal with friends and family. People in Marlboro loved it because it was dedicated to serving good food and friendly service.
What’s Next?
When Fireside shuts down, the space won’t be empty for long. The restaurant gave a hint that a new idea would be coming in its place by saying:
- “This chapter is coming to an end, but the space will soon be home to a new idea that we’re sure will become a beloved community spot.”
Information about the new business has not yet been made public.
