We stopped in for lunch and to try the chili, and for a Thursday we were pleasantly surprised by…read morehow busy they were. The Texas chili had a good level of heat, but it was a bit gritty, as if it may have been slightly over-seasoned. My sour cream chicken enchiladas were decent, though not outstanding--the chicken was cubed rather than shredded, which affected the texture for me. My guy ordered the taco salad with spicy beef and really enjoyed it, though it definitely brought the heat--he was sweating by the end. Even so, he said he'd order it again. What really elevated the experience was our waiter, Cameron. He was friendly, attentive, and offered great suggestions. He kept our drinks full without us ever having to ask, refilling our tea at least five times. His service alone took the experience from a 3-star to a 4-star visit.

The parking is difficult, especially on a Sunday, and the people walking on the sidewalks act as though it's their first time on an actual city sidewalk. The band was quite good. The food? Moderate. I would probably give it a B. We did not try the chili, and it is a chili parlor, so shame on us. That said, the sampler platter was nice. It is worth a return trip for another good band. The service was very attentive without interrupting the music - it was a great balance.

The outdoor patio where they had a live band would have been a good place to sit, but that 100° heat is a little much for this Minnesota blood. Started off with a smoked old fashioned and that hit the spot. Dinner was a pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was a bit on the disappointing side as the meat seemed a bit on the older side, and very little BBQ sauce. Our waiter was AMAZING, but he was soooooo busy with large groups I didn't trouble him for a side of BBQ. However, the bread pudding totally made up for the sandwich. That was a delicious way to end the experience. I'm sure we'll be back next time I'm at DFW.

The restaurant is open and expansive but note it can get loud. My wife and I decided on the 3 course $40 dinner - great deal!. We both started with the wedge (full stripes candied bacon and onion rings!!) salad - this didnt look like any appetizer size! Our main was the salmon with grilled shrimp and our dessert was the cheesecake! Few places offer a 3 course meal of this quality and that combined with the top notch service from Midori promises we will return to Firebirds in Grapevine again

As always, after our movie my daughter and I decided it was time for lunch. We had noticed…read moreFirebirds every time we were in the area, so we finally decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about. (Well... maybe luck had a little something to do with it. ) As soon as we walked through the doors, we were warmly greeted by Ms. Jenna, our hostess. She welcomed us with a beautiful smile, was very polite and kind, and escorted us to a booth in Ms. Destinee's section. While we were there, we also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Corin, the General Manager. He was full of energy, very welcoming, and genuinely seemed excited to have us there. It didn't take long to notice that his positive attitude had rubbed off on his staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and worked together as a team. That speaks volumes about his leadership. Luckily for us, we had just missed the lunch rush, so we were seated immediately without any wait. The restaurant itself was very clean, well organized, and had a warm, inviting atmosphere. They also offer an outdoor dining area that was just as clean and well maintained as the inside. Ms. Destinee, our server, was wonderful. She was polite, welcoming, explained the menu, and gave us plenty of time to look everything over while bringing us glasses of water. To start, we ordered the Ranch Rings (onion rings) from the shareable menu for $13.75. They arrived hot, crispy, evenly battered, and perfectly seasoned. My only complaint was the cilantro, which just isn't my favorite. For our entrées, we all ordered from the "Perfect Pair" menu. My daughter chose the BLT sandwich with the Killer Mac & Cheese for $14.95. She absolutely loved it! The bread was nicely toasted, the sandwich was well seasoned, and the mac and cheese definitely lived up to its name. We also ordered the Salmon Club Sandwich with a Caesar salad for $14.95. The salmon was delicious, and the Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful. I went with the Crispy Chicken Sandwich paired with a cup of their Tortilla Chicken Soup for $14.95. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned just right. As for the soup... it was so good I honestly wished I had ordered another cup! Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience from beginning to end. Great food, excellent service, and an amazing atmosphere. Mr. Corin is doing an exceptional job, and his staff is a true reflection of his leadership. Without a doubt, I'll be coming back again. I hope to see y'all there!

They also have a full bar as swell as beer. We ordered burgers and fries. These are not just average burgers. They are cooked well and served hot with a heaping portion of fries. It was such an outstanding burger. My entire group loved their choices. There are specially crafted burgers, where they have precise toppings. But you can also craft your own. The first time we went, I just got the Bacon Cheeseburger. It was yummy, and everything was on point. The next time I went for lunch with a friend. They have $9.99 burgers for lunch on Wednesdays. What a deal. This time I got the Wake n' Bacon Burger. Sweet and Savory Coffee Seasoning, , smoked Gouda, Bacon Jam, fresh jalapeños, Texas Pete fried Onion Straws and BBQ sauce. I didn't want the sweet BBQ. Sauce, I switched it to Mayo and Mustard that worked better m for me. This was so very good. Again a mountain of fries. I ate the entire burger which I normally do not. Definite great spot for casual dining and the added pleasure of a live band on specific dates and times.

She also made sure that I understood the okra was fried whole. I wish I would've asked what kind of batter, it was tempura style and very thick. It was crisp but the okra itself was impossible for me to bite into or cut with a regular knife, so I was unable to eat it! I wish I would've gotten the brussels sprouts; my friend shared hers with me and they were incredible and a huge portion!! My friend and I came in about 4:30 PM and there was lots of available seating and parking. The giant Bohemian Bull and the other decorations on the walls are a nice touch.

While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting

Gross! Like dude shut up! I don't want to see it. Talk about it or know about it. Overall good recommend. Probably a little more expensive for a burger and pork chops and portions are on the smaller side.

The restaurant is warm and inviting, with a main dinning room of all wood table/chairs - but around the corner of the bar is a more relaxed and boutique style eating area. Truly it was lovely! And the bartender waited on us and she was attentive and informative. We both ordered the southern fried chicken and mmmmmmm - yes it was perfection! The gravy is homemade (no gravy mix here) and the loaded baked potato was spot on too. Before our dinner we ordered the salad and it's done family style. And the bread - another stand out! I honestly could have feasted in the bread and been happy. Excellent restaurant with charming warm appeal!

After leaving the community center in Grapevine, TX, I had a craving for some Mexican food. I had…read moreheard several people talking about Mi Dia From Scratch, so I decided it was finally time to see what all the buzz was about. I arrived during the lunch rush, and both the parking lot and the restaurant were packed. Even though they were extremely busy, we were immediately greeted by a courteous and polite young man who quickly escorted us to a booth. We were seated in Ms. Maria's section, and she was a wonderful server. She greeted us with a warm smile, brought us menus along with the lunch menu, chips and salsa, and promptly served our water. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and was friendly, attentive, and very courteous throughout our meal. The chips and salsa were very good. My only suggestion would be to offer a salsa without cilantro for those who prefer it. We ordered the Create Your Own Combo Plate, which included a chicken flauta, a crispy taco, rice, and refried beans topped with cheese for $15.50. The taco was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, while the chicken flauta was covered in a flavorful red chile sauce that had just the right amount of heat. The rice and refried beans were seasoned perfectly and complemented the meal well. We also ordered the chimichanga, smothered in cheese sauce and served with rice and refried beans, for $16.00. It was well seasoned, delicious, and satisfying. The flavors weren't overpowering--they were balanced and enjoyable, making it a dish I would gladly order again. This was my first visit to Mi Dia From Scratch, and I came away very impressed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant also offers a nice outdoor seating area. Between the excellent service and flavorful food, I will definitely be back. I hope you'll give it a try too!

The portions are also huge Our server was wonderful from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and checked on us often without being overbearing. The service was honestly the best part of the experience. We started with the Sichuan calamari, and this was easily the highlight of the meal. It was perfectly crispy, the glaze had just the right amount of sweetness and heat, and the seasoning gave it a nice kick without overpowering the calamari. It was one of the best calamari dishes I've had and definitely raised my expectations for everything that followed. Next was the tenderloin bruschetta, and unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. The flavors didn't come together, and it was much saltier than it needed to be. It felt like there were too many things happening on the plate without much balance. I wouldn't order it again. For the entrées, the Chilean Sea Bass was very good. The fish was flaky and cooked well, the risotto was creamy, and the sauce brought everything together without being too heavy. It was one of the stronger dishes we ordered. The lobster stuffed ravioli was another solid choice. The filling was generous, there was plenty of lobster on top, and the vodka sauce complemented everything nicely without taking over. It was rich but still well balanced. We also tried the New Zealand rack of lamb. This one had mixed reviews at our table. It wasn't as tender as I was hoping, but I didn't dislike it and again I didn't love it! The blackened exterior and the wine reduction gave it good flavor, but it just wasn't particularly memorable. My favorite entrée ended up being the tomahawk pork chop. The pork itself was juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well. I wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple bourbon glaze since I didn't think it added much to the dish, but the quality of the meat made up for it. We also had the strawberry spinach salad, which was fresh and a nice lighter option alongside all the richer dishes. Then there was also a side dish with green beans and almond and again no complains there. Overall, I left feeling a little conflicted. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, and the portions were very generous. The food itself was a mix of really good dishes and others that completely missed the mark. After such an incredible start with the calamari, I expected the rest of the meal to be on the same level, but it just never got there. I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd rush back to.
