Cool mountain air. A crackling wood fire. The sizzle of the grill. And the spark of great conversation. Those aren't just the ingredients for a great meal. They're the soul of Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant dedicated to the world's oldest method of cooking - and the most satisfying. Inspired by the bold flavors and tradition of live fire cooking in the West, the first Firebirds called itself a "Rocky Mountain Grill." But not so long afterward, the restaurant changed its name to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. Because at its core, what makes Firebirds' scratch cooking so delicious - and inspires everything from the menu to its hospitality and décor - isn't a place. It's the fire itself. Firebirds has come a long way since the early days. Not only is the menu broader, the ambiance more polished and the value greater than ever, today Firebirds Wood Fired Grill serves guests across the country. But some things never change - like Firebirds' commitment to quality and freshness and its passion for introducing guests to the primal pleasure of meats, seafood and vegetables grilled over a blazing wood fire. From Firebirds' locally sourced hardwoods to its unique cooking techniques, everything Firebirds does honors the power of the flame. Because wood fired grilling brings people together. And its bold flavors set Firebirds apart.

    I really enjoyed the service and the food. The fried catfish, mac and cheese were really good. My homegirl got the black eye peas and she said that were really good as well. Drinks are high however that's expected for the area it is in. Dennis my server was really knowledgeable about the menu and what to try.

    Wow. This was the best dinner I’ve had out in a LONG time and that’s saying a lot because we go out to nice restaurants weekly. First off, we had THE best waiter named Gill! Ask for him!! He was super friendly, provided amazing service and was so knowledgeable about pretty much everything. He was such a delight! Now for the food and drinks…oh my. Drinks were delicious (manhattan, smoked old fashioned and their special whisky sour)! My favorite was the smoked old fashioned! Ceasar salad was super fresh and their dressing was excellent. For sides we had the brussel sprouts and Prime potatoes. The brussel sprouts were UNREAL. Crispy but soft in the middle with a sweet glaze…addicting!! The potatoes had melted cheese, bacon and sour cream. They would pair well with any dish! Very nice alternative to mashed potatoes or fries. The star of the show was the steak. Good lord. I got the 14oz ribeye. I almost cried multiple times. It was cooked to perfection (rare) and the FAT! The fat was SO melt in your mouth…it was nuts. Like caviar that burst with buttery deliciousness. I know I sound dramatic but it’s the truth. My husband got the filet and said it was amazing but he kept stealing mine as well. We ended the night with chocolate cake and espresso. It always means a lot to me when restaurants serves good espresso! Please please do yourself a favor and give them a try!!
