| - I can't believe I have not given one of my favorite restaurants a review!
Firebirds provides a great balance of quality, options, class, and price. It's not a high end steakhouse, but provides a more relaxed approach to a similar meal. Their prices are also closer to that of an Outback, though they cost more, the food can't even be compared to the standard chains. The service at Firebirds will be great - they have the place overstaffed with very friendly and competent servers that will stop by just frequently enough to ensure you have what you need.
For an appetizer, get the lobster queso. It has chunks of claw meat in it, definitely worth grabbing to go with the warm bread that comes out.
Their steaks are good, the wood provides a nice flavor and they get the temperature good, you won't go wrong here. Their fish has always been tasty, flaky and well prepared. I have not had a piece that had a fishy taste to it yet.
Sides are standard - baked potatoes, tasty salads, fries, etc. One thing unique is Fried Spinach - it's definitely worth a try as it's crisp and melts in your mouth, but not very filling, so I'd order it as a la carte for the table to sample.
One of my favorite things to do is to stop by for lunch and get a burger. For the price you'd pay at Hickory Tavern/Chilis/etc. you get a large juicy burger that barely fits in your mouth with a side, AND you get good service!
Wish they had slightly better beer prices, though they do have half priced bottles of wines one day a week - how about half priced pints?
