Overview

Fireside Steakhouse & Lounge, nestled in the heart of Anthon, Iowa, offers a true taste of Midwestern steakhouse tradition with a contemporary touch. Located at 121 E Main St, this spot blends a welcoming small-town atmosphere with the quality and service you'd expect from a seasoned establishment specializing in prime cuts and classic sides.

The menu centers around expertly cooked prime rib, a dish that’s earned local acclaim for its tender texture and rich flavor.

We decided to change our anniversary tradition and stop at Fireside instead. Wow! The food was amazing and we definitely over ordered. So delicious and the cheesecake for our anniversary was so very appreciated. Thank you for a great evening.

Small town steakhouse, but a good one to find. Large place with a signature vegetable beef soup on the salad bar that uses pieces of their prime rib for the beef in it. They are known for prime rib, but I found (most people I talk to agree) that it’s not as good as it was years ago. The meat is good, and cooked right, but it’s missing the flavorful outer rub that it used to have and what you are used to when getting prime rib somewhere. Salad bar has a good selection, and items are fresh. Most menu choices have been quite good. Was not a big fan of the Alfredo. You can see in my picture, it’s a lot of noodles while you search for the sauce. Over all, this is a place to try. Make a good place when out on a nice day on the motorcycle to stop for a meal.

What a fantastic steakhouse environment! Fantastic meal tonight with Prime rib - I ordered a 30oz prime rib and my wife got a 12oz. I enjoy mine rare, while she gets hers medium rare. Something I appreciate is that Fireside knows their steak! Fantastic cut, minimal fat waste, and cooked to perfection for both of our plates. Our waitress, Kelsey, was always checking in on us making sure we were doing good, keeping drinks full, and updated on meal's progress. Our 1 yr old son was flirting with all the waitresses, who continually smiled and interacted with him. We love the small town atmosphere with a big city taste. Well worth the drive from Sioux City or anywhere if you want steak done right!

We went to celebrate our son’s birthday. What a great experience! The server was friendly and knowledgeable, the salad bar offered everything one could want and the prime rib was delicious. Definitely a must try if in the area.

If you’re tired of standing out in the cold for hours waiting for a table at the chain restaurants just for a smackle of honey flavored butter, then unchain yourself and take the short drive southeast of Sioux City to Anthon and it’s Fireside Steakhouse & Lounge. Stepping in to a modern dining room, we had the option of eating in the lounge - an old school “at home” feeling of wood paneling, charming fireplace and stocked bar serving thirsty locals - like the kind of Iowa locals that look like they know their beef. Tender steaks, famous prime rib, steamy baked potatoes and creamy Alfredo are all on the menu and most meals include their stocked salad and soup bar. The soup? A true manly man soup - it had steak in it! We took the drive out after a suggestion to dine here, the suggestion being “you must go!”. Everything was filling, flavorful and fabulous! Service was attentive and we got a potato with real butter to go. Put on some tunes, take the drive and try this local classic (they’ve seriously been open for decades) for a carnivores dream in Anthon “my kind of town”.

Decent small town steakhouse with a nice salad and soup bar. Found it on our roadtrip heading home and decided it would be a great option for a Sunday night dinner. Very clean and nice establishment. Food was good, not over the top great, but no complaints. Service was extremely fast paced. I’d go back if I was in the area.
