Had a great overall experience at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill with a mix of solid food and a good atmosphere. I started with the steak wedge salad, which was really tasty--the bacon had a slightly sweet flavor that stood out and complemented the dish nicely. For my entrée, I went with the tomahawk pork chop and a loaded baked potato. The pork chop was cooked well and had great flavor overall, though it leaned just slightly on the salty side. Still very enjoyable, especially paired with the potato. Where things really took off was dessert. Our table ordered a few to share--the brownie, chocolate cake, and crème brûlée cheesecake. The brownie was easily my favorite: rich, soft, and topped with caramel sauce alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely the standout of the night. Service from Eli was good--friendly and helpful. I would have appreciated a bit more check-ins throughout the meal, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, a solid visit with great flavors and a few standout dishes. I'd definitely come back, especially for that brownie. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my recent experiences at Firebirds in Annapolis as a customer. During a visit about a over a month ago, I observed an interaction between a manager and an employee that felt uncomfortable to witness. From a customer perspective, the tone came across as harsh and seemed more appropriate for a private conversation rather than one happening in front of staff and guests. On a more recent visit, I became concerned after overhearing multiple staff members discussing cleanliness-related issues while I was dining. As a customer, hearing those types of conversations during a meal was unsettling and raised concerns for me about overall food safety and sanitation. I want to be clear that I am only sharing what I personally experienced and overheard during my visits. However, as someone with severe allergies, trust in food handling and cleanliness is extremely important to me, and these experiences made me uncomfortable. Because of this, I felt it was appropriate to bring these concerns to the attention of the appropriate authorities so they can be properly reviewed. I hope management takes the opportunity to evaluate both customer experience and internal practices moving forward, as both staff and guests deserve a safe and respectful environment. read more

I've been here on three occasions. Overall it's a really good addition to the area. A few healthy yet flavorful options goes a long way This particular visit was Mt first lunch experience. I knew I wanted a salad and fhen I was talked I to the tacos. It was a decent list for a mini happy hour menu. I don't eat steak often. Between sharing 3 sides (including salad) and the tacos , I was surprised how quickly I got full. No particular star dish for me, but everything I have ordered food wise (minus the street corn) I have enjoyed. They also had a shareable for $15 mix and match from fries or salad with a sandwich of sorts option that wss also pretty tempting. Clean environment and a good amount of parking in the lot. read more

I've been wanting to check this restaurant out for a while, so what better way to do it than celebrating with my girls at our annual Friendsmas party! From the moment we arrived, the greeters were incredibly sweet and even complimented us on our outfits, which set the tone right away. Once most of our party arrived, we were seated in the back at a long table that comfortably accommodated everyone. The restaurant wasn't too crowded at first, but as more people started to flow in, it didn't stop us from having a great time and enjoying ourselves. Now let's talk ambiance. The restaurant itself was nice and appeared clean, however there were no tablecloths on the tables. When we received new silverware, it was placed directly on the bare table with no napkin, which was a bit off-putting. Aside from that, the space was well-kept. As for the food, drinks, and service: the service initially seemed fine, but it became clear that our waitress was overwhelmed. A few orders were forgotten, some checks were mixed up, and the biggest issue was when my card was accidentally charged for my friend's food--even though I handed her my check along with my card. Thankfully, it was only a $0.50 difference. The drinks were just okay. Another waitress even mentioned that the only drink she really recommended was the one with pineapple. I only had one drink, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't anything special either. Now to the food--because this is where things turned around. We started with the chimichurri shrimp, which was a 10/10. My friends enjoyed the steak and eggs, the deviled (angel) eggs were delicious to me (4/5), and the dip was a solid 3.5/5. By the time our entrées arrived, we were so full from the appetizers that most of us took our food home after just one bite. I had the Baja pasta with shrimp, which was a 10/10. Another pasta I tried with goat cheese wasn't good at all, but thankfully my dish made up for it. Most of my friends ordered the Chilean bass and said it was very good, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. We also had the chance to meet the chef, who was very nice and even brought our food out, which was a great personal touch. Overall, despite a few service hiccups, I would definitely go back. The food alone makes it worth another visit. read more

Firebirds has a very nice atmosphere and good food. It's not stuffy and it's not too laid-back.

My mom and I just went to Firebirds yesterday for her birthday, and she had the best time! First of all, many know that this place is fairly new, and my goodnessss! The second you walk in, your eyes go straight to the bar as it is BEAUTIFUL. The way the bottles are arranged, the color section of the bar in totality, and just the stools surrounding it, it all completely makes sense. The staff is also great. Now the food, is also great. My mom and I ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls and my mom loved them - said she would return to order them alone, but for me - I didn't personally care for the thai chili sauce on the egg rolls. Why? Because if you actually go to Philly for a cheesesteak, they aren't going to have thai chili as a sauce topping lol. I don't think marking it as Philly specifically is correct. But were they good? Absolutely, not greasy or heavy either as I think that's the case for a lot of other restaurants/establishments. Their salads were good, dressing to lettuce ratio was good. And I'm not a crouton fan but I did enjoy them. My mom and I both shared their pick 2 option, 1 being the salad and the other being the chicken sandwich and the cheeseburger, all full of flavor. Firebird also has outside dining, so feel free to sit outside and watch the cars drive by on Riva! I think we'll be back here in the near future. Also forgot to mention earlier, their drinks too! Great. read more

This was the second time eating at the resturant. Had shrimp and grits the first time and a hamburger the second time. Definitely will come back again. Great food and friendly service. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We were promptly greeted and taken to a booth. The dining room atmosphere is casual and there are bar and outdoor seating areas too, along with a few TV screens. Sorry no pics. We started with cocktails and the bacon deviled eggs. They were delicious and pretty filling with half a slice of thick bacon on top of each one and for an extra kick a jalapeno slice. For our entrees we went with the Chilean Seabass and Baby Back Ribs - full rack so I'd have more for later. Both very tasty and left us fully satisfied. Oh and a nice touch from the bartender - a fresh chilled glass was brought over for the martini when it was halfway finished. No room for dessert on this visit. Maybe next time. read more

Wonderful Easter Sunday brunch at Firebirds. Since it was a holiday, they opened earlier than the posted 11:00 (our reservation was for 10:30, so not sure what of their opening time today. Greeters were very welcoming and quickly found our reservation and wished us away to our seat. We did find it a bit odd that they sat us next to another family while the entire restaurant was mostly empty when we arrived as their second customers of the morning - but by no means did this take away from our experience. Our server was attentive and he ensured our drinks were always half full or more which we appreciated. We stuck to the brunch menu and can't wait to return for dinner one evening. As for the food: The deviled eggs were creamy and reminded me of the flavors of my grandmother's deviled eggs - no frills or unnecessary add-in's to the mixture, just great deviled eggs with a tasty garnish. Next time we will skip the biscuits. The biscuits were the let down of our meal, and were absolutely nothing to "write home about" for their cost. They were somewhat dry, but were warm and there was so much triple berry dipping sauce for only two (2) biscuits. The steak and egg bowl was absolutely delicious. The chimichurri seasoned steak was cooked perfectly as well as the poached. The creaminess of the poached egg mixed with the horseradish created the perfect sauce to dredge your roasted potatoes and mushrooms through. The hot honey chicken biscuit was excellent! I subbed the house potatoes out for cheesy grits and was pleasantly surprised at how good and hot they were. The hot honey sauce perfectly balanced heat and sweet (unlike others in the area) so that you could enjoy the entire sandwich without the heat building in your mouth. Can't wait to return! read more

BLUF: Quality food including wood-fired chicken and steaks in a casual atmosphere. I was excited to see Firebirds open in Annapolis since I'd previously had a good experience at the chain in North Carolina. My husband and I made a reservation for a Sunday night and enjoyed a hearty meal of onion rings, salads, steaks, sides and beer. Everything was really tasty and the steak definitely satisfied my craving. The restaurant is located in a new mixed use shopping center and the interior is more casual than I would have expected for the price point. On the upside, parking was easy since it has its own parking lot. Our server was very friendly and attentive - definitely a seasoned pro. I'm looking forward to a return trip to Firebirds. read more

Went in today got seated by the host and about 15 minutes go by got no water and no waiter came to take our order. Wasn't that busy and I could have waited longer but a big party that just came in sat next to us and got their water and the drinks they ordered before us. Ended up walking out, it was probably the manager that was in the front that said have a good day and told him we didn't even eat. That was the only best part of the experience! read more

The server for my table is tied up with another customer and one of her fellow server stepped in to ensure that we were served quickly which to me says they have really good teamwork and that makes a big difference for the customers. In any case our order was placed quickly and the staff was very friendly and courteous. The bar was well stocked and you have your TVs playing sports so it's akin to most nice steakhouses you might go to. The food was absolutely phenomenal and I was so happy to finally get a really good quality steak. The slow roasted prime rib looked rare but it wasn't bleeding and was remarkably tender and flavorful. The accompanying sauces just punched up the flavor but I really only use them when eating cuts from the center where you get less of the rub. And trust me they could sell that rub as a seasoning at local grocery stores. Very good! The roasted carrots were tender and savory. My partner got the salmon and I had a taste which was good. I wouldn't trade it for that prime rib though, lol! The closest thing to a negative I would say is that the cider slaw could probably use some craisins or another sweet but acidic addition. Great place for a date night or a birthday celebration and I would definitely go again. read more

A well lighted sports bar atmosphere with good service, a good wine list, lots of free parking. The wait for 7 people was far beyond the reservation. The three course dinner is a pretty good deal the Salmon and Shrimp was just slightly over cooked. read more

That shit was good. Chilean sea bass, fries, and ancient grains meal - rated 9/10. Im young but it felt good to be around seasoned, mature people. Nice variety of sports on the televisions. Wait staff was impeccable. To go staff a bit behind, but only because it was so packed on a Sunday night. If the prices scare you, then you don't know what it's like to get your money's worth. They will definitely last in Annapolis with all the new residential construction. Firebirds just made a new regular. read more

The food, server, and ambiance were nice but far from perfect. What went wrong... There were three of us for dinner. We ordered an appetizer along with two sirloin steaks and salmon. The salads came out first, minus my soup. We ask the food runner about the appetizer as well as my soup. She said the appetizer comes out between the salads and entrees. Uh huh. No word about the soup. I received my soup after my dining companions finished their salads. Then the appetizer came out. Yay. The next food runner brought out one steak and the salmon. I ask what was the temperature of the steak since we'd ordered a medium well and a medium to medium rare steak. He has it was well done. It wasn't but my dining companion liked the look of it and ate the steak. About 5 minutes later, my steak came out next - over cooked for me. I told the server. She wasn't too distressed about the mixup. Also, no manager came by to check on us. Given this meal wasn't inexpensive, I wasn't impressed. Will I be back? Probably not. read more

My son and his best friend took us here for Mother's Day. It was a surprise trip! The atmosphere was calm but lively. The food was really good! I was so full though, that I had to save my entree for another day (it was just as tasty). Our server was kind. I would go again, but I would probably look for a closer location as this one was in Annapolis, MD -- pretty far from the Columbia area. read more

Absolutely loved our time at Firebirds! The entire staff were friendly and engaged. You know a restaurant is going to be when the staff enjoy working there. We started with the lobster queso spinach dip which was delicious and for our main courses we had the seasonal firebird chicken (amazing) and the salmon, which my wife raved about. The interior was a little louder than we like and it was a bit warm inside. Of course, it was super hot outside that day. The restaurant is good for groups or just for two. There is outside seating, though I will wait until the weather cools down before sitting there. Overall, a great experience. read more

Amazing. Britt is so amazing, attentive and sweet. She joked with us and had refills ready before we had our last sip. I loved the biscuits and gravy. The lemonade is to die for a FREE refills. I love how clean and elegant the restaurant is but the prices are so comparable! $50ish brunch date today and we ate the donut dippers before I could grab a photo. read more

I was told, "it's good, you have to check it out". So I did, and the service from entry to departure was great and that truly made the difference. The food...not impressive, now don't record they are known for steak and we didn't touch the steak, but we tried a lot of everything else and nothing made us say wow! And we were hungry and you know when you're hungry everything taste good...no great...this was not the case. On this one eve we stayed away from the drinks but I have a feeling that's a sweet spot for them so will go back and sit at the bar. For now I'm not going back until it's time for happy hour. Overall nice looking place, crowded, the outdoor patio is small but a good place to sit especially if it's a cool night. read more

Nice restaurant in a new development in Annapolis. The decor is modern; not a large restaurant but has a nice size bar and surrounding tables. A nice variety of food and drinks selections. The hostess and server were friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks and food we ordered were good and favorable. The only negative thing was they charged for individual ingredients for mixed drinks that are not on the menu. Nice date night and dinner with friends. Doesn't appear to have space to accommodate large parties. I would recommend this restaurant and would dine here again. read more

Firebirds is one of my favorite restaurants. So happy this one in Annapolis recently opened. The food doesn't disappoint and service is top tier. For dinner, I typically order from the three course menu. This first course is a soup or salad. I enjoy the chicken tortilla soup. The second course options are sirloin, salmon and shrimp or wood grilled chicken. The third course is the dessert course. I usually select the seasonal bread pudding. There are other tasty dessert options. The drinks are amazing. read more

My first time here because they just opened on April 16th. I like this casual dining spot. The food was descent. I hade the steak and egg bowl. My friend had shrimp and grits, the child's French toast. We both liked the bill which was so reasonable compared to the last place we went. The hostess said they recently received their liquor license. I plan to come back soon. I forgot to say that the service was very good . We noticed they were working hard! Keep up the good work! read more

Welcome to the Annapolis area Firebirds Wood Fired Grill! We had the opportunity to dine at Firebirds. This is the first time trying any of the locations and we were pleased it was so close.

We would go back again. read more

Great place for a family meal or quick birthday celebration. Easy reservations online, indoor and outdoor seating is available. Brunch goes until 2pm I believe and probably the most options I've ever seen for a kids meal...everyone left happy. I'd say I prefer the burger over the steak....steak is a hard thing to cook and everyone likes it prepared a different way. Ample seating and parking...come early because it's new and crowded. Service was quick and efficient....I would probably pass on the biscuits if I had another go at it. read more

Easy to get seated at the bar. The Happy Hour menu is very good. The service is good and friendly

I am not normally a reviewer, but in this case I must. 04/15 lunch, while the food was good the service was excruciatingly slow and sloppy. In fact another server came over to check on me. Thankyou Mitch read more

Friends took us to Firebirds today for a birthday lunch. Because it is Sunday, they were also serving brunch. We had an online reservation, but there were some open tables. It is an attractive bright space, with high ceilings and big windows. Our server was Ryan, who was very pleasant. He recommended the lobster-spinach queso from the shareable menu as an appetizer. It was yummy, and adequate for two couples to share. I ordered the Colorado chicen salad, which was quite good. My friend warned me ahead of time that the salads are huge. I brought half home for dinner. My husband ordered a breakfast plate off the brunch menu, and my friends had the steak and egg tacos. I liked the ability to order either brunch or lunch options. The combined menu offered lots of choices. read more

Me and my boys sat at the bar. The service was good and attentive. The perfect margarita lacked alcohol. The cherry old fashion lacked bourbon. Not even a black cherry. Just cherry juice. The prime rib slider was good. But downhill from there. Their cauliflower had too much sauce. Nachos lacked seasoning, The wings were overcooked and the steak and cheese barrel rolls were cold inside. Definitively underwhelming. read more

Love love loved Firebirds wood fired grill as a late Saturday night dinner with hubby and our tiny human. They are very family friendly and baby girl has a few teeth now so she enjoyed herself some steak. I did not expect to love their wings as much as I did but they were really good and flavorful, as was the lobster topped salmon with mashed potatoes that actually reheated really nicely the next day. While their cocktails were a little "meh," we loved the crème brûlée cheesecake and can't say enough great things about the amazing service we had from Imani. She was so sweet and attentive. This is a great new addition to Annapolis and we look forward to checking them out again soon for happy hour. read more

I've been dying to try this place for months!!! They have a few other locations in the DMV but none were close to where I live. Not sure exactly when they opened, but we went on a Friday night and it was packed! Apparently, I wasn't the only one excited about them coming to the area. It wasn't huge on the inside, but there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Since I haven't dined at their other locations, I can't say size wise if this is the norm for their business model or is this just a smaller location. Our server was wonderful. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We were told upfront that they were still waiting on their liquor license, but they had a few mocktails and of course fountain drinks. None of this was an issue for us and but we did appreciate them telling us upfront. We started off with the Wood Grilled Chimichurri Shrimp. So good and plentiful. The smoked flavor really came through and paired very nicely with the corn salsa and chimichurri. For our mains we got the Tomhawk Pork Chop. Chef's kiss! The chop came drizzled with hot honey and a little pico on top. Very nice. It came with charred carrots which were also very good. I got the southwest au gratin potatoes as my second side. Sadly, I wasn't a fan. It lacked flavor and just wasn't anything I enjoyed. Luckily, they have plenty of sides to choose from, so no biggie. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves and certainly anticipate a return trip soon. read more
