We have gone in several times for kitchen items we needed but this time we went in for the bourbon cocktails class. Bruce and Morgan did a fantastic job and we had so much fun! We got to make three cocktails as well as snack on a charcuterie board and meet really fun new people. We will definitely be taking another class. We highly recommend it!
I really enjoyed the Sourdough Bread 101 class! I learned a lot, and Laura made everything easy to follow. She was so kind, helpful, and welcoming, and she created such a comfortable atmosphere. I would definitely recommend taking a class at Pans on Fire!
Thank you for the kind feedback! It was pleasure having you the class!
Chef Laura was amazing! My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class, learned a lot, ate wonderful food, and most of all, had FUN!!
Thank you Kelly for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear your daughter enjoyed her cooking class and we hope to see you both again soon!
My daughter, age 7, had such an amazing time participating in cooking classes at this location! We drove from out of town (about an hour) to attend this for the week and it was worth it. She was excited to go back every day, and the staff were so friendly and kind to her. As a shopper, I also enjoyed looking around the store to see the cooking tools that were available and was happy to see that there was a lot of selection that you may not see in smaller stores. All in all, I would highly recommend this place for cooking classes, parties, events, or just shopping for some kitchen gadgets.
Thank you, Sonali, for the great review! We're so happy to hear your daughter enjoyed our kids cooking camp, and the kind words you have for our store are greatly appreciated. Hope to see you again soon!
Perfect first experience with a cooking class and it won’t be my last! The instructor Bruce was fantastic, great menu and tons of fun! Try this for date night, girls night out, or solo!
Thank you, Ashley, for the great review! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed our cooking class and look forward to cooking with you again soon!
Really enjoyed our class at Pans on Fire. Great instructor and delicious recipes. Would highly recommend this place.
Thank you, Karen, for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed a class at Pans on Fire and hope to cook with you again soon!
It was very fun and very tasty. If anything, not having the measurements of the ingredients diminishes the learning experience.
Thanks so much for the 5-star review, Pedro — we’re glad you had fun and enjoyed the flavors! Great feedback about measurements; we’re adding ingredients and exact quantities to all our setup trays so the recipes are easier to follow. We hope that makes the experience even better next time!
Our team from Fidelity National Title has done several events at Pans on Fire, and every single one has been great. The experience is always consistent, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The event coordinator is easy to work with and flexible with requests. Chefs Bruce and Laura and their instructors are knowledgeable, fun, and approachable. Bruce, in particular, is very funny and makes everyone feel at ease. The team is very focused on kitchen safety—which honestly makes the whole experience more comfortable, especially for people who don’t cook often. We’ve tried the pan‑seared steak, Spanish paella, and most recently the Birria tacos, which were a huge hit. Everything was organized into small groups, so everyone got involved and worked together. It really felt like a team activity, not just a class. A bonus is that one of the POF team members makes sure to take all the photos and send a link to us after, which keeps things sanitary and also reduces the number of distractions our group experiences by looking at phones. Great food, great people, and a really fun way to spend time together as a group. Everyone left full and happy and kept talking about it afterward. Highly recommend Pans on Fire for team events or group outings. Bruce and Laura—we’ll definitely be back.
Thank you, Ross, for the thoughtful review! We always have a great time cooking with your team, and I look forward to see you again soon!
Dear Chef Bruce and Laura, what a night, A kitchen filled with laughter, shining bright— Our team arrived, unsure at first, But left with full hearts and hunger nursed. The clatter of pans, the stories you shared, The way Bruce guided us, genuinely cared— With every lesson, every spice, You turned simple dishes into something nice. We mixed, we tasted, we learned as friends, And made memories we hope never end. Thank you for recipes, photos, and cheer, Reminders of moments we’ll hold so dear. We look forward to gathering once more, To cook, to laugh, and to explore. Thank you again for a night so divine— A feast for the spirit, and for the mind. Bruce, thanks again for a great team building event!
