    Tiny drive thru, after 43 mins waiting
    Keta T.

    Great seasoning.... Crabs are tiny so very little meat from them after you've paid for a pound of shells. The crabs are so young that they are still see thru. Shrimp was great. Fish is good. Late night ordering is a struggle. Be ready to wait at least 30-45 minutes at the drive thru. That lock the lobby for who knows when..... So all the Uber eats drivers are attacking the drive thru window while you're sitting there waiting to get your food. So now someone else's food is being passed basically through your car. I can pass on this place...... Ever again. Definitely not worth the cost. Side note: don't order the lobster tails 11 piece (2-4oz) $22.... They cut up one lobster tail into 5 pieces twice if you can imagine that nonesense.

    After reading the reviews I was super nervous about coming here but I figured why not. I am glad that I came! I got the combo #11 with crab legs and stone crab. The wait was about 20-25 min and it was well worth the wait. The food was good and hot when it was given to us. We took the food back to our spot and it was amazing! It was seasoned just right! All I needed was some potatoes or bread to sop up the garlic butter with!

    The food was good but the wait in the drive thru was ridiculously long. They should definitely work on that process to make the wait shorter. But overall I enjoyed the food and will go back. Maybe I'll try going inside inside of drive thru. I order their special 1/4 conch and shrimp with fries. Their food is well season and they have a special sauce that comes with the food that is great. The price isn't expensive but reasonable. I like how they have different types of specials you can choose from. They also have a variety of food to choose from.

    Fried catfish, 3 wing dinner

    My friend was raving about Captain Max so I wanted to try it for myself. Not bad, I tried the fried catfish and wing dinner; it comes with fries and a drink... fries and wings were a bit warm not hot as my catfish but in all was really good. I will go back to try more.

    Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yummmmmmmm. Love this place! It may nor look the best but the food is good. Don't be intimidated by the ruff outside exterior the worse looking places have the best food.

    Stay away from this place, first the restaurant or mediocre excuse for a restaurant is disgusting the tables needs to be clean because it's soo darn sticky. The floors needs to be sweep and moped there are flies everywhere who knows if it touch the food or not. The lady taking the order was rude she didn't try to steer her customers in the right directions just stood there and stared. Once the food was ordered it took forever to come out longer than it should have. When I got the Tilapia and shrimp, it did not have any seasoning it was cold, dry, and undercooked. This was not what I was expecting I was expecting boil seafood they did not even have eggs or potatoes. Never coming to this place again.

    Not good

    I have eaten here before with no problems but I just came from there I ordered their shrimp,conch & wings combo, with fruit punch.Got home and enjoying my drink & I open it up to find a twist wire at the bottom of my cup this is highly unacceptable. I was so grossed out

After about 5 minutes of me eating the terrible food, I approached the waitress at the front and ...told her that I didn't like it and if I could order something different and she replied no. EVEN WITH 'ADDED' SALT ...THIS TASTED ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!! Pollo al pepian didn't have ANY KIND OF ADOBO OR SPICES AT ALL, it was completely TASTELESS!!!! Most of the plate was full and not even touched and these people STILL made me pay for it. I couldn't BELIEVE this. Then she phoned the manager who STILL FORCED ME TO PAY FOR THE TRASHY FOOD. The waitress and I got into an argument and I told her, "who the hell is here right now, huh? ...YEAH NOBODY!!!" I told her that I will be disputing with my bank to get my money back. I barely touched the food and these people still charged me an arm and a leg for their DISGUSTING POLLO AL PEPIAN. I WILL NEVER EVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN!! NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PLACE IS A COMPLETE EMPTY 'GHOST' TOWN EVERY SINGLE TIME I COME HERE!!

Ordered 2 pina coladas and they had the total vibe except it tasted like a milk shake. Little to no alcohol. Not looking to get hammered but to atleast have a flavor of a splash of rum, it just wasn't there. Service was average to slow, but overall very friendly people. Would come back if in the area and if we're looking for home cooked, tasty Latin flavors.

The ambiance was really solid and the service was great. Our server was friendly and gave some good recommendations. For food, I ordered the birria quesadilla and the Voodoo Cajun pasta with chicken and shrimp. Both were really good, but the Voodoo Cajun pasta was definitely my favorite. It had a nice Cajun kick and the chicken and shrimp combo worked perfectly together. Super flavorful and honestly one of the better pasta dishes I've had at a place like this. The birria quesadilla was also really good crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. I also tried two beers that were recommended, including an IPA, and both were great choices. If you're into beer, they obviously have a huge selection so it's a good place to try something new. Overall, great food, great drinks, great service, and a really good atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

The girls working the floor were friendly and doing their best, but the problems here go way beyond them. This feels like a corporate issue, not a staff issue. The food was cooked in seed oils, which already kills the quality and flavor. You can taste the heaviness and the cheapness. For a place that markets itself as a craft‑beer spot with elevated bar food, that's unacceptable. Then the check came and that's where it got worse. Corporate is nickel and diming customers with extra charges, little add‑ons that don't go to the servers and don't improve the experience. It feels sneaky, and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth before you even walk out. The staff is paying the price for decisions they didn't make. They're trying to be nice, but the system they're working under is broken. Overall: Good people, terrible corporate practices, low quality cooking oils, and a bill padded with nonsense. Not worth it.

Their stylish bar is immediately on the left side with counter seating and tables. The dining area is straight ahead with check-in as you enter. The staff are friendly and welcoming here. Our server was Kevin, who was very attentive and at our table within a minute with helpful recommendations and brought us nice cold water right away, which was appreciated. We ordered their white Sangria, which was really good! They know how to make them! Very refreshing! My daughter ordered the Prime Rib with Parmesan mashed potatoes for her main meal. I ordered the RibEye steak with Parmesan mashed potatoes. Here is where Superior Service comes in! Kevin and John, the manager, came to the rescue immediately. It was not Kevin or John's fault whatsoever but the mashed potatoes were over-salted and inedible. Both my daughter's and mine. My ribeye was tough, not tender, and had a very strange bitter taste to it that I couldn't handle. Kevin was on it right away and asked what I would like to substitute with. I picked the Prime Rib because my daughter said hers was delicious. She switched to the Loaded Baked Potato and so did I. My Prime Rib was excellent. The problem was solved quickly and the replacements were delicious. Our Mother's Day dinner was a success after all. Then, on top of everything, John presented us with a VIP Mother's Day $10 gift card for our next visit. We topped it all off by ordering the Chocolate Brownie with caramel sauce and vanilla bean ice cream. It was outstanding!! The Brownie was chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. Firebird has a great menu with lots of delicious looking items on it. We will be back soon to try other things that caught our eyes. And ask for Kevin's area! Parking is on the street.

He disappeared for about 10 minutes before bringing our drinks, which were really just water and two sodas. He then disappeared for another 15 minutes before coming back to take our food order. Then it was about 35 minutes to get bread, my salad didn't show up for about 50 minutes. When the meals finally arrived, the food was decent, but not worth the wait. It felt like forever sitting at the table with my 3 hungry kids. Kevin did apologize for forgetting my salad, but made no mention about the insane wait for dinner. I actually ordered the 3 course option that came with a desert, but we left after eating because we had already been there for over 2 hours. On our way out, we overheard another table getting their dinner comped because of the wait. Buyer beware!!
