“Customer Satisfaction is Our Satisfaction”
BROTHERS NICK AND ZORAN MILEVSKI
bring more than 25 years of experience to the
well-established Firehouse Family Restaurant
in Garfield. The Milevski brothers bought the
restaurant in 2010 after running a successful
family deli business here in town.
Nick, well respected in the city and a former
board of education member, is currently
running for city council.
The Firehouse is known for their original thin
crust pizza. The restaurant boasts a menu that
is pub-style with Italian American flare. The
working force behind the menu comes from
years of experience with Chef Rob Barilli, who
has worked at the Firehouse since 1991, and
Chef Bob Dockray who joined the family
in 2010.
The Firehouse can accommodate parties of
up to 70 people in their upstairs quarters, or a
more intimate gathering of 20 people in a
smaller room in the front of the restaurant. The
restaurant is the perfect place for a casual
date or a family night out.
“This is the place you come to eat,” Zoran
Milevski says. “You get a great meal for a great
price.” Customers come to try the pizza and
end up loving all the other things they make,
like the $12 open sliced steak that cannot be
matched in quality or price. The fresh FH
mussels in the red sauce, hot sandwiches like
the Godfather or the Volunteer, and a great
chicken parmesan with linguini to name a few.
The menu also includes delicious wings,
steaks, burgers and other chicken entrées, as
well as a full-service bar with 12 beers on tap.
The Firehouse is rich in history and is one
of the oldest buildings in Garfield. The vintage
firehouse was built in 1908 and was converted
to a pub serving the community since the
1950s. The Milevskis pay homage to its history
by honoring all branches of service with
patches and fire department memorabilia
as décor.
“You’re going to walk out happy more ways
than one,” Zoran says. “Nick and I were raised
with hard, honest work ethics which makes for
a successful business. By paying careful
attention to the quality and freshness of the
food we serve, the customers can taste
the difference. We are a blue collar restaurant
that pays homage to the working man and
family man alike. We pride ourselves on the
fact that people from all walks of life come
through our doors, but everyone leaves with
the same feeling of having a satisfying meal.”
