Engine House

The Engine House in Mt. Clemens, Michigan is a one-of-a-kind firefighter-themed dining experience housed in a beautifully restored historic firehouse. Founded by two Detroit firefighters John Gusumano and Greg Sisoy, this restaurant authentically captures the firefighting heritage with genuine firehouse doors at the entrance and two fiery cauldrons dramatically hanging above the bar. Executive Chef Ryan McAllister leads the kitchen, serving an extensive menu featuring signature items like the half-pound Engine House Burger, fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs slathered in sweet and smoky homemade barbecue sauce, specialty pizzas loaded with fresh dough and premium toppings, Cajun Chicken or Shrimp Pasta with tri-color bell peppers, and perfectly seared Ahi Tuna. The venue boasts abundant entertainment options including a digital jukebox, large projection screen, and numerous plasma and flat-screen televisions perfect for catching any game. Wednesdays transform into special Firefighter Days when local firefighters socialize with patrons. The restaurant sits conveniently near the train tracks, where staff celebrates passing trains with complimentary jello shots. Open Monday through Thursday from 11am, Friday and Saturday with extended hours, and Sunday from noon to 11pm, The Engine House offers daily lunch and dinner specials posted on their Facebook page.
