| - Loaded with son, daughter-in-law, wife and two grandchildren we are frequent diners at Firebirds. Given the children we come early, prior to 6pm and have no problem getting seated immediately. We leave after dinner moving through the crowd in front waiting for a table.
Service is great. Kid menu is better than average and they will get the children's meals ready quickly. Helps keep them quiet and happy.
Portions are wonderful. Food is well prepared and excellent.
On one occasion I ordered the prime rib which came over cooked. I can handle medium rare to medium, but not more or less. This truly beautiful piece of meat came in rare enough to quiver. I hated to ask them to cook it more, as I knew that it would come back too done. So it was, but I ate it and appreciated that they did re-cook it. When the bill came, they comp-ted my meal. I talked to the manager telling him that I wanted to pay for it as it was excellent and that I did not want to see a good piece of meat thrown out. He insisted that the meal was on the house. Unnecessary as far as I am concerned, but that is the culture and policy of Firebird.
Their BLT salad is worth being a meal, and sometimes my son and I do just that. The portion is generous and if you order it with your main course you will not finish your main. Suggest you split the BLT salad with someone. But baby, it is really a yumilicious treat.
Baked potatoes come with lots of toppings. But be aware that the spuds are rolled in heavy salt while baking and though I love the skins I just can't take the salt, even if I wipe it off. But the potatoes are great.
We have not had a bad meal and have really worked through the menu so can confidently tell you to order what you want as you will not be disappointed.
