The staff were very friendly. Sadly, the food was not good. Everything was very salty. Even my SO who salts everything thought it was too much salt. I had the salmon which had a strange topping. Something like a tapenade. The flavors were not a match. A couple people had mashed potatoes that were like glue. I would not recommend this place.

Came in and ordered 3 meals for take out, inside is empty, few tables outside but an hour to get food. Keep hearing them say they are understaffed but if you can't handle the on line orders, serve the people standing in the restaurant. Servers finally started telling folks would be an hour or more and refunding, but come on. I hope the food will not be messed up and cold when I get home.Update, after being told it would be another 20 minutes, 30 minutes later they still had not even started the order. No manager around, asked for refund which they would only do on the food portion, not the tip. Had to argue to get that back in cash.Never coming here again.

Good was great. Service went fast. Great flavor to try a few different things. Great choices of beer on tap also fun to try the draft soda! The mayo sauce is yummy.

@bushfirekitchen thank you for one of the best burgers I’ve had recently! The addition of an egg made an already excellent burger particularly noteworthy. To anyone trying this creation know that you won’t need to order a side because the burger will fully capture your attention (making the customary side order an obsolete concept). Y’all better be serious about your pepperjack cheese as this version is on the spicy side. And that’s…Henry’s Take. @henrystake

Grass fed beef, roasted veggies and potatoes, yummy very very tasty!!

Food was pretty good, the portions were plentiful. There were 3 of us. Two diners were brought promptly the third didn't come. We had to ask, even then it took a while. Unfortunately it had been sitting on the counter the whole time waiting for pick up and was cold.

Bushfire never disappoints! Their happy hour is affordable and fully of yummy items off their menu. Truffle fries are fantastic and portions are to be shared.

Came here for a quick dinner on a Monday evening conveniently located to the Vons market. My colleague and I ordered a salmon and beef brisket bowl and a couple of glasses of wine. Both bowls were brought to our outdoor table within minutes / very fresh and tasty. No complaints. Didn’t see a lot of recent favorable reviews so thought I would leave one.

If you want hair in your food eat here. I'll be filing a complaint with the health department as well. This establishment stated they couldn't give us a refund for our meal because it was "out of their control" that their was what could have been dog hair or human hair. The GM likes your money but could care less about taking care of the customers and making a wrong right.

If you order online, just double check… especially if you paid extra for items, not sure how when they seal the back and sign it but, got my order wrong despite the receipt on the bag actually reflecting what I ordered. It’s a bummer how these things happen sometimes.
