I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill! The food, drinks, service and atmosphere were excellent! I ordered the salmon and shrimp with corn and asparagus. I would order it again in a heartbeat! DELISH! I also had an adult bevie and that too was DELISH! Everyone at the table loved their meals and drinks. So much so, we couldn't stop talking about it. Special shout out to our server Malina! She took excellent care of our table. The service wasn't rushed and she was attentive. I would suggest making a reservation if you decide to give it a try. We came on a late Saturday afternoon and a few big parties were there and the tables were limited. They have indoor and outdoor seating available and of course space in the bar area. I did think the restroom needed a little more attention throughout the day. Other than that, everything was great! I will absolutely be back in the near future! read more

We had reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. I forgot our server's name, but she was pleasant and attentive. The restaurant was comfortable and nicely decorated. Very enjoyable atmosphere. The food was good, especially the dessert. I usually don't have room for it, but I'm glad I did. The only thing I didn't eat were the mashed potatoes. They were just ok. I would return to try other menu items. read more

Food is very overpriced for basic dishes. The espresso martini didn't look or taste good either. The only good thing was the service....Overall they won't be getting any more of my money. read more

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'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

Wifey and I met friends here for dinner and this was a great experience! We started out with cocktails which were superbly prepared. Once the friends arrived, we were promptly seated and our server Malaina made everything perfect for the group, she was very attentive with excellent suggestions and made sure we had beverages during the entire dining experience. The location and parking were perfect, and the food was very good. I got the prime rib, and it was one of the best I have had in years! Wifey got the wood grilled salmon and ship which she loved! Highly recommend this establishment and we will definitely be back! 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

We had an amazing experience! Since it was our first time visiting, my boyfriend and I were so delighted with how everything turned out. We were seated with Phil, and he absolutely made our visit unforgettable! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and he made the experience so much fun by asking us trivia questions and interacting with us throughout our meal. He made us feel welcomed and genuinely added something special to our first visit. The food was delicious as well, but Phil truly took our experience to the next level. He made our visit 1,000 times better, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We're so glad our first time was such a memorable one, and we'll definitely be back! read more

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

Horrible experience! Walked in with a reservation and hardly got acknowledged! Went to bar for a cocktail before dinner and the bartender took over 15 minutes to ask what we'd like to drink .... Then never came back to confirm our drinks We walked out ! read more

Typically, my experience would have been between a four and a five. Very disappointed today. Working the schedule with I assume the scheduler or the boss, as I sat waiting to order some food. I ordered the lunch special and the tortilla soup had previously been frozen and I let her know. It was very thick and was choppy, mushy, consistent with being previously frozen. Disappointing to say the least. She did apologize but nothing was taken off of my bill. If you're not going to deliver fresh, I'm not coming back. My opinion has really changed from today's experience. What a shame. 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

Update...I have had a couple of "not good" visits since my initial 5 star rating. I have pulled up for curbside and watched employees walking past my order that I can see on the shelf. Then they come out and ask my name. Okay.. you have my name and vehicle info and I used the OMW & I'M HERE text. I smoke and give them my name. Recently I was emailed a discount code. It didn't apply at checkout. The restaurant said there wasn't anything they could do. Contact corporate. An offer of a soda, fries or something would've been a better fix. Customer service people! read more

EXCELLENT FOOD! SEVERAL of us commented it was the BEST chicken or BEST burger or best... That's really all that's important. The reason it's not five star? We walked in to an almost empty restaurant with our son's family = 8 people total including kids. Maybe that's slightly more than a family, but not a village either. The manager asked if we had reservations, which we said we did not. She said with a serious expression, that it was "not required, but highly recommended" and that she would go "see what they could do" (intently scanning the empty room). We assumed there was an impending crowd of reservations that would soon descend, but the restaurant was just slightly less empty by the time we left. When we were seated by the greeter, our waiter came and instantly scolded that we were not happy enough. He said, "Hello" and within 2 seconds, not time to even respond, he pretended like he was walking off and coming back to get a better greeting from us. He kept this similar banter up for awhile. We are all appreciative of friendly, but it was interruptive on this time with family. He was an attentive server though. FOOD = A+ and very reasonable pricing. read more

The excellent customer service and attention I received from the Manager Brent was outstanding. He stepped in and diffused a situation with his knowledge and skills. His quick intervention turned my dining experience in a positive, which would have possibly been a negative experience. His assistance was greatly appreciated and I will definitly be returning. read more

1/2 Firebirds Happy Hour -- Boondock Saints Edition And shepherds we shall be... for thee, my Lord, for thee. And apparently tonight the shepherds were headed directly to Firebirds Happy Hour, because there was an $8 margarita waiting at the end of the righteous path. First, we need to talk about Alyssa behind the bar. service. Attentive, personable, knew what she was doing and kept the operation moving. If the MacManus brothers had Alyssa pouring drinks instead of Rocco helping with logistics, that movie would've been about 45 minutes shorter. The $8 happy-hour margarita? On effing point. At eight bucks, that's not happy hour. That's divine intervention. Next up: the Old Fashioned. Muddled. I saw it coming. I knew what world I'd entered. It arrived exactly as expected. No complaint before this tribunal. Case dismissed. Then came the truffle steak fries. Not my favorite style of fry. Too much potato real estate for me. But Alyssa armed me with two ramekins of ketchup, and suddenly we had ourselves a tactical dipping operation. Dip. Bite. Truffle. Dip. Bite. Truffle. And once that truffle started popping through? "There was a FIREFIGHT!" The beef sliders were exactly what sliders sometimes need to be: beef, cheese, pickle. No microgreens. No artisanal onion marmalade harvested under a full moon. No chef explaining the spiritual journey of the cow. Meat. Cheese. Pickle. Respect. The Judgment Food & Happy Hour: 3.5/5 Alyssa: 5/5 $8 Margarita: Absolutely coming back. Firebirds didn't blow me away tonight, but nothing committed a mortal sin either. Solid happy hour, fair prices, good drinks, and excellent service behind the bar. And when the bartender is considerably better than the steak fries, you give credit where credit is due. Alyssa, consider yourself canonized. 1/2 In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Fork around and find out. 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

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

Food was really good and the service was great! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

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

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

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

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!

Nothing special. Felt like it was like a chain restaurant. Got the steak and teh salmon citrus special. Bread didn't come out until the entree did.

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

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
