We switched our reservation from Mastros and are so glad we ended up at Firebirds! Tracey was phenomenal and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The Pineapple Paradise drink was amazing, the deviled eggs were a great appetizer, and the wedge salad was fantastic with delicious dressing. The Surf & Turf with filet, lobster, and mashed potatoes was excellent, and the Parmesan-crusted chicken with carrots was equally delicious. The crème brûlée cheesecake with strawberries and blueberries was the perfect ending. Excellent food, outstanding service, and a wonderful experience. Thank you, Tracey! read more

Finished with an appointment nearby and needed a bite to eat. This was not our first choice but it worked. Saw seats at the bar and headed over. Bartender got us water and menus pretty quickly despite being busy. Ordered drinks and he got those mixed right away. Place was busy but quiet. Nice atmosphere for an easy dinner out. The chicken sandwich and tots were good. Order a side of the hot honey sauce for dipping- you will be pleased. My wife liked the salad but that is what she always orders. Nice place. read more

Wow...this place has gone downhill. A friend said so as well when I was telling her about my experience. First off..Brunch. Not Dinner. People in our group ordered the Ribs, Salmon and a burger...those were all fine. The Breakfast Sandwich..egg, bacon and cheese biscuit..or a BLT..anything with Bacon..avoid...unless you like it undercooked and limp. The manager, lied right to my face when she brought me new well done (as I originally asked for) bacon. She said..it looks like less bacon because it's cooked more well done!! What a stupid thing to say!! Do you think I'm an idiot and can't count??!!! She took away about 8 pieces of limp bacon and brought me 2.5 crispy pieces!!! Then..by the time all that happened..my obviously microwaved biscuit had turned to stone..couldn't eat it at all. My server said that her manager told her to charge me full price! I refused to pay $18 for something I couldn't eat. Eventually, after some arguing..we got it taken off the bill. No apologies, no other concessions...nothing! My daughter had the exact same issue with her BLT. She was charged and paid for nothing. After that experience..they lost 2 customers and more to follow I'm sure. Do they care? Not bloody likely. They will be going under soon unless they make changes quickly. read more

We visited Firebirds on Sunday, March 29th, to celebrate my wife's birthday, and what started as a simple dessert stop turned into a really memorable experience. My wife specifically requested coming here for one thing--their Big Daddy Chocolate Cake (her absolute favorite). We made a reservation and were seated right on time, which was a great start. Shortly after, we were greeted by our server, Nighajah, and she immediately set the tone for the night. She was incredibly friendly, super outgoing, and just had this upbeat energy that made you feel welcome right away. We explained that we had already eaten dinner elsewhere and were just there for dessert to celebrate. Nighajah let us know they offer a complimentary crème brûlée cheesecake for birthdays, which was a nice surprise, but we told her we had our hearts set on the chocolate cake (which comes with vanilla ice cream). When dessert arrived, she went above and beyond--bringing not only the Big Daddy Chocolate Cake but the cheesecake as well. Such an awesome and unexpected gesture! Then came the biggest surprise of the night... when the bill came, they told us everything was on the house. We were honestly shocked. Since we hadn't ordered anything else, it didn't feel right accepting both desserts for free, so I insisted on paying for the chocolate cake--but the gesture itself meant a lot. Nighajah truly made the entire experience special with her positive attitude and great service. Firebirds is lucky to have her--she's the kind of person who makes you want to come back. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more

We had a 5pm reservation here for Christmas Eve, arrived about 15 minutes early, and were seated by 5:07pm. Upon entering the restaurant, no host was there to greet us and their entrance doesn't really have a waiting area so everyone was standing around awkwardly or taking up seats by the bar. Despite that, the staff were nice when they did arrive finally. We were seated in a booth in the back by the kitchen and it was decorated nicely but nothing too special. The lighting is awfully bright and directly overhead, but otherwise it was pleasant. Our waitress greeted us and promptly took our drink orders. The whole evening she was very sweet and attentive. She brought every item out so quickly! We ordered the holiday margarita (refreshing and delicious!), the old fashioned and the Go Figure (both were great), a burning bushel (amazing), and a perfect margarita...somehow they made the perfect margarita wrong and it tasted as if they put butter in it - yuck! We replaced it with the strawberry cucumber margarita and it was also very good and refreshing. For appetizers we enjoyed their complimentary bread (literally melt in your mouth!) and the wood grilled chimichurri shrimp. It was insanely good! The shrimp came out warm and the whipped goat cheese wasn't overpowering and complimented the dish nicely and the charred corn salsa was perfect. For dinner most of us enjoyed the three course menu which was so much food for a great price! The caesar salad, mixed green salad with raspberry vinaigrette, and blue cheese salad were all very good. For dinner we had perfectly cooked filet mignon. I upgraded mine to the blue cheese filet and did not regret it! Perfectly cooked and seasoned mushrooms topped my filet with blue cheese and the BLT compound butter was phenomenal! The mashed potatoes...so good! Unfortunately, for the others in my party that had the broccoli, they said it was undercooked and the cider slaw was not too great. One person in my party ordered the tomahawk pork chop and it was so juicy and flavorful, and the side of carrots was seasoned perfectly. Finally, for dessert, we enjoyed the seasonal bread pudding, the crème brûlée cheesecake, and the big daddy chocolate cake. Everything we tried was very tasty, although I think my bread pudding was missing the chopped nuts that would have been perfect. Overall, great experience here, despite a couple of hiccups. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Came to dinner just missing the happy hour. Got a great table by the fireplace. Had other guest stopping by to get warm. lol. Went with the 3 course meal which was a great choice for my tummy and wallet. Best part was the dessert! I went with the seasonal bread pudding which was rich but plenty of ice cream to help with that. Continuing the seasonal mood, I enjoyed a great seasonal cocktail based on the recommendation of our server who was also the bartender. She can make a great drink! Overall great meal and experience. Next time I hope to catch Happy Hour! read more

Our waiter's name was Dan and he was the nicest person and so thoughtful. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and had tried the drink I wanted earlier in the week and spoke very highly of it, The Ginger Lowdown (highly recommend). We were celebrating our wedding anniversary so he brought us complimentary crème brûlée cheesecakes, delicious. We came in during cocktail hour but chose to sit in the dining room. Very calm vibe in the dining room and the cocktail area. Loved it. For dinner we had the Bleu Cheese Filet Mignon and the Dry Aged Ribeye. I had the Steakhouse Bleu Cheese Salad and my husband had the Loaded Baked Potato. Both sides were tremendous. There are several of the Locations in Ohio, TRY ONE!!! read more

First, I must say that I have always felt like Firebirds does a great job with presentation. And this experience did nothing to change my mind. However, I will say the prices feel like they've gone up and my wife ordered a Caesar salad with a tenderloin on it, and the meat was hard to eat. It had so much seasoning on the meat that it was like eating a piece of salt. I had the meatloaf which was very good and the deviled egg appetizer was excellent. It's also a very lively place for an a nicer restaurant. It has good energy and the weight staff is really top-notch. read more

Firebirds Wood Fired is quickly becoming one of "go to" places for special occasions. This particular trip was to celebrate our anniversary. I always make a reservation even though I'm not sure it's necessary, but we are always welcomed and seated promptly. The service at Firebirds is always excellent and we've enjoyed a variety of entrees. And, we've never been disappointed with any of our selections. I strongly recommend Firebirds if you're looking for a fine dining experience. read more

Decided to go here for our anniversary. They really didn't do anything for our anniversary even though they asked on the reservations what we were celebrating. Nobody really said anything so I'm not sure if they even do anything to be honest. My wife ordered the tenderloin salad and I ordered the three course special with barbecue ribs tortilla soup and a crème brûlée cheesecake. My wife's salads tenderloin was undercooked and was rare and surprisingly had gristle on it, which is odd for a tenderloin? It's almost like they tried to shred the tenderloin. We mentioned it and they took it off our bill, but it was a bummer because I think she was looking forward to it. My meal was great and everything tasted great on my side. read more

In town for a band competition in nearby Hilliard and we wanted to eat over by Cabela's and IKEA. Chose this place. Not a bad spot. It's fancy in here. I will say though that it seems it can't decide if it wants to be a sandwich place or a higher end steak and wine place. So it's all smashed into one. Service and ambience were good this Saturday afternoon. Food was quite good. I will say though and why it only gets 4 stars is that the club sandwich I had was nearly $20 and it didn't need to be. I'd eat here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice if there were other options close by. read more

I used to love having dinner at Firebirds. I loved their prime rib, which now they only serve on the weekends. I went on a Wednesday and since they don't serve prime rib anymore during the week, I got the rib eye. It wasn't good at all. I like my steaks med rare, which it was in most parts but the outside was charred to a burnt crisp. All I tasted was burnt meat. I felt like I was eating at a cheap steak house except for the price. Their quality has gone way down. It's disappointing. read more

Went to happy hour tonight. We enjoyed the beef sliders, fired up shrimp, Chicken chili nachos and crispy cauliflower. Everything was very good. The sliders were juicy and tender. The shrimp was spicy but very tasty, just a bit of heat. I had a white sangria that was very refreshing. The nachos were great, chunks of grilled chicken, goat cheese, green chili cheese sauce and charred corn. I wish the bottom nachos had more topping as it was mostly on the top layer. The cauliflower was very good, crispy with sweet and sour sauce. We were extremely full and didn't have room for Big Daddys Chocolate Cake which we had hoped to end of meal with. It is the best cake you will ever eat. Make sure you try it next time you go to Firebirds! Our server was very nice and our food came out fast and hot! The atmosphere was casual but nice and elevated. read more

Never been here before but enjoyable. This place is a nice upscaleish steak house. I say upscalish because upon entry we were sat a high table right next to the bar. Typical bar food seating and that is I suppose a "negative". The actual table is what I am referring too. It was modern design shaped but this table is not very great when you seat 4 people, plates and drinks. Our serve was competent but we didn't get the attention one should get when spending money, this place was good but a little pricey. Seemed he was left alone to serve that zone and he seemed to be everywhere but not enough around us checking to make sure we didn't go "dry". first world problems. Again, the food was good. We had a NY Strip steak, corn tortilla soup and a kind of pineapple drink that was non-alcoholic. read more

I found Firebirds online and it truly caught my attention. All I can say is I would probably give it three stars. The food was average, the chips that came out were stale, and the entrées themselves were average. I came in from town and thought I would try a new place and was disappointed. I would recommend BJ's across the street instead. read more

We went to Firehouse for lunch during our grandson's ice hockey goalie camp at The Chiller. I had the Smoked Chix Sandwich and tot.

She was very good. read more

This place has the best bread and salad. Very clean and great customer service. Parking is a little tight but overall Firebirds is great.

I have never been disappointed when I have to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at Polaris. I was celebrating my birthday month along with my friends' Wedding Anniversary too. I enjoyed the Onion Rings with Ranch Dressing before the meal. The husband had BBQ Ribs with Broccoli and the wife had Steak Frities, they gave her fries instead of the mashed potatoes but the servers gave her the mashed potatoes anyway. I had mixed greens salad with Honey Mustard dressing before I had the 16 oz. Cajun Ribeye with Mushrooms & Onions with yummy Southwest Au Gratin Potatoes. If there is a birthday or anniversary, they give complimentary Cheesecake Bites. I had mine for my birthday and the couple shared their own Cheesecake Bites. It was a excellent time at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at Polaris. Thank you. read more

It's been a while since I visited Firebirds, but they're still a winner in my book. I love their wedge salad and of course the bread! I got the salmon dinner this time with grilled veggies and a loaded baked potato, yum. My salmon was perfectly cooked and juicy and I paired it with a glass of wine. read more

Food was great as well as the service and ambiance. My wife and I went there for our 56th Anniversary. Upon arriving we were wished a Happy Anniversary.

Let's talk about the prime steaks selection that they have. I remember coming to Firebirds when they first opened and it was a Yelp elite event years ago. The service is top-tier and the manager always comes out to greet everyone not just asking about how our food was but to say hello and group everyone that was in your party. My favorite dish happens to be their filet mignon made to order which I like my steaks, medium rare top tier chef work when it comes to the food! I also love their wine list selection as well. read more

We decided to go to Firebirds to celebrate a friend's belated birthday. I hadn't been to Firebirds in well over a year, but quickly remembered why I like this place. The ambiance is very warm, dim lighting, peaceful, relaxing, and welcoming. Well loved the fireplace as well. We chose to go a Sunday, and boy was it busy. No one cooks Sunday dinner anymore . Our waiter was very nice, patient, and knowledgeable, which we appreciated because we asked a lot of questions before finally placing an order. I ordered the three course option, which was a good deal for all that you receive. An appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. I chose the Caesar Salad for my Appetizer, Cilantro Chicken with a baked potato and broccoli for my entree, and I ended up taking my dessert home, which was a chocolate brownie Sundae. It was delicious! My friend ordered the Honey Garlic Chicken which consisted of Grilled chicken, honey garlic glaze , cherry tomatoes, balsamic, basil, and seasonal vegetables. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and I look forward to returning to Firebirds very soon. read more

I really enjoyed visiting this restaurant. I was in town on business, debating where to get a steak dinner, and chose this location as I have been to a Firebirds in Cranberry, PA with fond memories. I sat at the bar, so, I can't speak for the regular wait staff. The service I received was beyond excellent as they had two bartenders handling everything for the duration of my visit. I started with a double diamond martini as they fuse pineapple and vodka in house. It was spectacular. I then ordered a 16 oz Cajun Ribeye (medium), side loaded baked potato, add Caesar Salad. Food was really good and the steak was fantastic at its price point. Ultimately, I really enjoyed my visit here. Is it inexpensive, no, but is it a much better product at their price point than competitors - absolutely. I really like Firebirds a lot. The ribeye here was just as good as what you would get at an upper end restaurant, for far less. Thanks to the staff here - I had a great time! read more

Yesterday evening I visited Firebirds with a group of seven friends. We were dead set on checking out the happy hour menu so we arrived a little before 5 in hopes of getting a seat in either the bar area or on the patio where they have happy hour. Unfortunately, they don't take reservations for happy hour seating. When we arrived the patio and bar were packed. However the dining area was essentially empty. After 15 minutes of looking at the packed tables sadly 2 tables in the bar area opened up. The tables are kind of "s" shaped and bolted down. One of the tables was a high top and the other a short almost kids table. The "kids table" had 4 square footstool type chairs. It was an odd setup but it worked out. The reason I gave Firebirds 4 stars was the food and drinks. I ordered a double black diamond (whatever that means) martini off the happy hour menu. It was extremely tasty. For food we ordered everything off the appetizer menu to share. Which was prime rib sliders, fried shrimp, steak tacos, crispy cauliflower, Parmesan fries, beef sliders, chicken nachos and crab and corn fritters. I thought all the food except for the prime rib sliders was great. The prime rib was kind of bland. Most of my group, including myself, thought the crab and corn fritters was the very best offering. Finally the service could have been a little better. He was nice but he pretty much disappeared after we got our food. I would have liked a water refill and had a difficult time finding him for the check. Firebird still worth it for the food and drinks! read more

First off the service was very slow. Took 45 min for our food to arrive. We were there for at least two hours maybe longer. My 4 month old granddaughter was getting fussy and my 88 year old mother was getting tired. My other daughter who is 5 months pregnant did not like her shrimp strawberry salad she said that the shrimp were cold. My husband's steak wasn't done how he wanted it and was tough. My salmon salad was just ok. Honestly this place has gone downhill and is too much of a chain restaurant - the quality just was not there. read more

The good-service was prompt, courteous and friendly. Our server Mitch was fine. The surroundings were clean. The bad- I ordered the sea bass and shrimp. It was ok, small portions flavor was ok. Sides were fair. Experience was similar to a family restaurant on an interstate. Prices are wayyy too high for quality. Kitchen full of cooks, no chef. My advice, avoid. Bad value. read more

So disappointed today. I've eaten here dozens of times, always been excellent service, food and ambiance. Today, we stopped in for a quick lunch, had only 30 minutes. Told the waitress upfront, and ordered from the perfect pair, which is advertised to be quick. Buyer beware...it took 30 minutes for soup and a sandwich. We had to change to take out and run out of there. Not how we wanted to spend our time or our money. Cold food that we had to eat separately because "express lunch" took 30 minutes to prepare. Either step it up and guarantee quick service, or don't advertise it. Pick a lane. read more

My wife and I went for our 10 year anniversary and were amazed at the food and atmosphere. I think our server was also the bar manager and even though it was busy he had control over the whole area and managed to give us an incredible experience. I'm generally a steak eater and their steaks looked impressive but we both ended up having the salmon on risotto and were so impressed with both the taste and presentation. Of course we started with their renowned deviled eggs as an appetizer and were not disappointed. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Been almost a year since my earlier review. We really enjoyed our lunch this time around. Management responded to my first review and feedback with a coupon - thank you very much, as it was a pleasure all the way around this time! Service was on point from the initial greeting, through the service, and the parting thank you. Atmosphere here is really nice, well placed lighting, and subtly decorated. Lobster and Spinach Queso - 5: great flavor and generously sprinkled with lobster bits Steak Sandwich - 4.5: nice piece of ribeye, 4 oz, cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned on a lightly toasted brioche bun with arugula and a slightly acidic dressing Salmon - 5: My wife loved it, I didn't try because i hate salmon. Slaw - 5: We both had the slaw and thought it was great. Field Green salad - 5: I shouldn't have ordered this, but it was delicious with a cilantro lime dressing that was very light and very tasty. We loved every dish! Thank you for encouraging us to try it again, we will be back! read more

The service was great. Really loved this. But, the food was not worth the price. The food we got was sub-par but nothing to write home about. Also, the women's bathroom was particularly smelly and dirty which I always find unpleasant in a facility that serves food. We most likely would not go back. read more

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill offered a solid dining experience overall. I ordered the New York strip steak. The flavor was good, though the cut was a bit dry, and it was paired with potatoes. Across our group, we noticed the steaks seemed slightly overcooked. That said, the service truly stood out. Staff were exceptional, attentive, professional, and ensured smooth service throughout the meal. read more

We used to love this place and I am so sad that the last two times we have been it has been subpar at best. Bread was not fresh, scalloped potato's tasted like they were from a box, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were awful. This used to be my favorite app but it was hard, they used ground beef tha was grisly and hard, the sauce was an Asian sauce which made no sense. The steak was cooked perfectly but the sauce and seasoning was so over powering that you couldn't taste the steak. The iced tea was the best part of the meal. Service was slow and had keep asking for a refill that took way too long. My husband and I split the steak meal and app and it was 82.00 before tip. Totally not worth it and we will not return. read more
