Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

Enjoyed a Sunday lunch here. Walked in seated immediately for 2. The service was excellent, we had ordered an appetizer, to which our server noticed we didn’t care for, took it away and took care of the charge. He brought us the menu again to see if we wanted something else. Kyle really paid attention to detail and gets our vote as an exceptional server. The food was great along with the atmosphere. We plan on making this place somewhere we will visit a lot.

Shame on me! I’ve been to this restaurant a few times and I forgot to review it. I have to give a shout out to our server Victoria she, was a doll! First of all the ambience is really nice and cozy and pretty. Get your ass early there because you will have a wait or you won’t even get in. The bar gets packed and the drinks are flowing and they are delicious and make sure you get the double diamond martini that comes from the giant pineapple that sits on the bar. Ok, they bring out some bread and butter on your table and it’s homemade and it’s delicious and soft and crusty but way too small for my fat ass bread appetite. You have to order the prime rib. This prime rib is succulent, meaty, a little fatty in the right spots and it comes with an au jus and horseradish cream that is to die for! You get a choice of garlic mash or a baked potato or roasted vegetables, but choose the garlic mash. I just started a low-​carb a hydrate diet so I had to spinach salad with the bacon and the little tiny bits of tomato in it and I think it’s some type of a balsamic vinaigrette. I I added on some salmon to mine and it was scrumptious. The piece of salmon is a little bit on the small side that they give you however the salad is so big I didn’t even end up finishing the salad or most of the salmon, which by the way they ask you how you want it cooked. The salads are a big deal here my friend had the fired shrimp salad and hers was delicious and my other friend had the fire grilled chicken salad which was delicious as well. The apps are always good. Nobody can make a crabcake like BRAVO for some reason but theirs here aren’t bad at all. Overall it’s a great place to have a cozy dinner or romantic meal, the service is great, the servers are friendly and informative and the place is just so pretty.

This is my favorite steakhouse! I have been here a dozen times. NEVER have I been let down on quality or service.

My mom, sisters and I went to Firebirds for the first time yesterday night. Our waiter was very nice, and the food was also very good. No complaints. I recommend going here for a family dinner or a friends night out. Great service and food.

Amazing food and service… Everyone welcomes you and the atmosphere is great… Strongly recommend you eat here…

Very good! A must for all of our residents! Check this place out!

Hey fellow Unilocalers, I wanted to write a short review for Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at Stonecrest. My family and I decided to have a dinner out for the first day of the new year here and it was as expected a great time with great food. I say as expected because we’ve been here many times and only once have we had a issue which was quickly resolved. The food has always been cooked as ordered which is important because I like my steak rare or medium rare and my family enjoys the burgers, salads and seafood. On this evening even though they were busy, our waitress Veronica was excellent, timely and made sure everything was good.
Sometimes it good to make a reservation especially on the weekends otherwise the wait time could take approximately 15 to 30 minutes. The atmosphere and ambiance is very nice, the sound level is average for a steakhouse. The food and appetizers come in big portions so don’t fill up on appetizer and bread otherwise you’ll be taking a box to go which isn’t really a bad thing. The service has always been great and any issues that arise the management has taken care of it quickly and professionally.
The prices are slightly pricey but again the portion sizes are plentiful and you will not leave hungry. Finally, while I can’t put Firebirds up there with Mortons, Ruth’s Chris or Del Frisco’s Double Eagle, etc… Firebirds does well for itself and what they offer. Hope you enjoy your visit.

I’ve been here before but it’s been a year or two since I’ve eaten here. My mom and I decided to come in pre-​movie for dinner after work. The staff seemed very young and unsure. The hostesses, waitress, and the manager all seemed like this was their first time working in a restaurant. They weren’t bad by any means but I weirdly felt like I was eating surrounded by high schoolers.
Anyways I got my usual sesame crusted salmon with mashed potatoes and pecan green beans. My mom got the meatloaf with the same sides I got. We waited for awhile, probably a good 20 minutes, when one of the managers came over. She seemed very nervous and told me that our food was taking longer than usual because they burnt my salmon. They said they’d like to give us a free dessert as a result. When the food finally came out it was good, not great. I definitely don’t think the high prices reflect the quality.
Even though I felt like I was in a high school work study it’s still a decent place to get dinner on occasion. I give them three stars because when compared with other places in the same price point they fall a bit short.

Good food. Bad experience.
The good: The food was good. Well-​cooked and tasty steaks. Pleasant service and a decent wine list by the glass.
The strange: I got a cocktail that was flat. I told the server. I did NOT ask for a replacement or for it to be taken off my bill. I discretely told the server to let the bartender know in case there was an issue. A manager came over (interrupting a conversation) to inform me that I must be mistaken, because HE tried the tonic water, and it was just fine. Well, thanks for telling me that I was wrong!
I have tended bar, managed a bar and worked in the hospitality industry. As a paying diner, I LOVE being told that I am wrong! Thanks for letting me know that I must have IMAGINED my watery vodka & tonic! Next time I will know better.
BTW, the drink in question wasn’t removed from my check. I was with guests so I just shut up, paid up and will vote with my wallet next time.

Always amazing food. Usually the service is great although our last server was not spectacular by any means. Definitely recommend making a reservation.

I’ve been to Firebirds a few times in various locations. My Fiancé and I attempted to dine at this location. We waited for almost 1hr for a table — No, it was not busy. When my boss took everyone out for lunch, I was hesitant.
Overall the food was good. The Cocktails are great! I love their signature pineapple cocktail… My recent visit, I ordered a Caesar Salad w/​shrimp, choked on a few shells… should’ve looked before eating. Our servers took forever with our check. I could see my boss getting frustrated.
Will I come back, probably… Like I like the food. It’s good.

Dinner Sep 15,
What was Best in Class
— Our server Dara, she was outstanding! friendly, funny, cheery, great disposition — she made everyone at the table smile and her recommendations were spot on!
— Overall the entire staff was very friendly and happy!
What was Above Average
— The house side salad was very tasty and the pecans were awesome
— The Ranch Dressing with the Onion Rings & salad was very very good
— The Southwestern Au Gratin Potatoes were awesome!
What was Okay/​Average
— Spinach Crab Dip was so-​so. The tri-​color chips looked nice, but the taste was bland.
— Liked the fresh baked bread, but the butter was hard as a rock and was impossible to spread
— The Steaks were average, cooked as ordered, but I am just not a big fan of grilled steaks. The others with me really enjoyed there steaks though.
What I really Thinks Needs to Be improved — the noise level. My gosh, we had 5 at our table and couldn’t hear anyone but those at our sides. Our poor waitress had to walk next to each person to take our orders. Would seriously recommend they hang some tapestries or something from the ceiling and/​or add some decorations that will help absorb sound.

Great atmosphere. My husband and I decided to try this restaurant as part of our move date. My husband had the SLOW ROASTED PRIME RIB* which was Encrusted with fresh herbs and pepper, hand-​carved and served with homemade au jus and creamy horseradish sauce. There’s 2 choices — 12 oz. * 23.30 | 16 oz. * 26.30. He really enjoyed his meal. I chose the BABY BACK RIBS which had Java BBQ sauce, steak fries, cider slaw * 24.25.
The cocktails at this restaurants are really good too. They were not watered down and did not disappoint. We had the Firebirds Signature Martini — THE DOUBLE BLACK DIAMOND — had Fresh pineapple infused for 21 days with Svedka All Natural Citron, Vodka and garnished with a sweet pineapple slice. Delicious…
This is a sports bar type atmosphere so if noise bothers you then this is probably not a good fit for you.

We come to Firebirds a couple of times a year and they never disappoint. The food is always good, service is excellent and we just feel at home there.
Last night we invited friends to join us at the last minute. We updated our reservation via the website and we were shocked that we could still get 4 ppl in on a Friday night. We all sat at the bar while waiting in our table and received a text message shortly after. Love the use of technology guys!

Firebirds is a SOLID lunch/​dinner option in Ballantyne. They’re always able to provide great service, food is seemingly fresh and portions are plentiful. Our toddler is always excited to go as they provide 2-​packs of Oreos with every kids meal. I absolutely adore the Firebird spinach salad with Chicken! (YUM)! It’s not an inexpensive option but dependable for sure and it’s refreshing to go to a place where they truly take service seriously. I have NO complaints!

Bar seating
Little forgotten early on but not a big deal.
Great bread to munch on (free appetizer)
Prime rib (if your from around here and remember the real River Rat… almost as good!) cut it with a fork
Firebird’s Chicken Pasta yum the way they shave the chicken and the slight kick in the sauce.
Will come back and the South Park location!
GREAT food, great atmosphere!
OH…I’m always carrying a sweater because restaurants make the temp indoors like a fridge during summer, not the case here, fantastic! Comfortable! Ladies can dress for the season outdoors and not freeze like its winter indoors!

I’ve been to Firebirds before but during restaurant week in the past. I wanted to submit an honest review when it’s not the most hectic of times and I’m definitely glad I did. Of course like most popular restaurants there was a little wait. #WorthTheWait
They brought waters out for both of us while I started with a mixed drink called the Mango Mojito. Absolutely amazing. The alcohol was mixed so well that you couldn’t even tell it was in it. Thought about getting two, but I was driving.
For my appetizer I tried the smoked Chicken wings and they were delicious but then again it is somewhat difficult to find a place with bad chicken wings. There were about 8 of them, perfect appetizer size and I myself prefer almost everything spicy, the wings had enough kick in them to satisfy my heat cravings.
And for my main entrée I had the Pepper Crusted Sirloin, prepared medium well… absolutely amazing. They prepared my steak just the way I requested and the pepper seasoning made it an absolute delight to my taste buds. By far one of the BEST steaks I have ever eaten. A very highly recommended meal in my book.
The service was fast, and friendly. They had friendly smiles on their faces and answered our questions with knowledgeable responses and expertise. Overall I five this restaurant get a 5.0 out of 5.0. They will definitely be seeing me again.

I love this restaurant. The atmosphere is incredible, service is great and food is well price and excellent. I always get the aspen sirloin with sweet potato fries. It’s my favorite. Also, their kind of wedge salad is very good, not to mention the warm bread they bring to your table as soon as you sit down.
It kind be crowded. Make sure you make reservations or call ahead, if not your waiting time can be up to 2 hours. I always go to the one located in Stonecrest.
Their cocktails are out of this world as well.

Review for happy hour only:
This place was packed on a weeknight and I can see why. They have a good beer selection and their smoked chicken wings are about the best I’ve had anywhere. They’re smoked so they have the smoky taste you usually get at a BBQ place but they also have the buffalo wing flavor you want in wings.
I’m not always a huge fan of wings but really enjoyed these and would be back here for some wings and also check out a meal.

Firebirds is one of our go-​to restaurants for a «Mommy minus kids» night out with girlfriends!
The servers are always knowledgeable and courteous! If you ask for any suggestions or what new menu items are like, they’re always right on.
One of my favorite items to order is the Lobster Queso for starters! It’s yummy… nuff said. I also always get the BLT salad with my meals, it’s one of the best! Bread is always fresh and yummy!
I usually order the Prime Rib dinner and it’s always cooked to perfection! I have also tried their burgers and many of their sandwiches and they are always good too!
The most favorite thing I love about Firebirds now is that you could make reservations online! I always avoided Firebirds on weekend nights because I knew there would be at least a 90 minute wait (if not longer) before we were seated! Now that’s fixed and it’s always my first pick when asked «Where should we go?»!

Anlässlich eines Besuches des Enkelkindes in den USA waren wir mit 6 Personen dort essen. Ja, Firebirds ist eine kleine aber überschaubare Kette. Aber sie wird betriben von Eigentümern die was vom Fach verstehen. Das Interieur ist rustikal ohne aufdringlich zu sein, viel grobes Holz und offenes Feuer. Der Service gewohnt amerikanisch aufmerksam und schnell — ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Wie immer ist der Geräuschpegel etwas zu hoch aber das ist in den USA nun mal so. Die Hörgeräte Akustiker wollen schließlich auch leben :-) Das Essen: perfekt! Ich hatte als Vorspeise gegrillte Reisengarnelen und dann ein mit Bacon umwickeltes und dann gegrilltes Filet vom Rind. Davon hätte ich ein Kilo essen können, so köstlich war es. Dazu einen Chardonnay aus USA probiert, der war der Mode entsprechend Barrique ausgebaut, passte aber seltsamerweise gut zum Fleisch. Hier in Europa würde ihn wohl keiner mögen. Auch den anderen Mitessern hat es bestens geschmeckt! Wer nach Charlotte kommt ist hier bestens aufgehoben! Nicht preiswer — aber das ist Essen gehen in den USA schon lange nicht mehr.
