This place was incredible. They were packed, a 45-minute wait for a table. The hostess said I could sit in the bar area if a table opened up and one did immediately. She and the other hostess cleaned the table off right away and sat us. I had the filet and a baked potato with bacon. Maybe the best steak of my life. My son had a massive meal for $39.99. A salad, a huge steak, broccoli, a baked potato, and creme brulee cheesecake for dessert. All delicious. My wife had the barbeque chicken, so juicy and delicious. The server was incredible. He was a fast and attentive. The small cornmeal loaf of bread is also hot and delicious. It's a little expensive but definitely worth the cost. read more

Wowza !! This is the most perfect place for a date night or to get fancy drinks with some friends. And I did exactly that! My girlfriends and I came here after Christmas shopping and we're already planning to come back. Logan was our waiter and not only was he so professional, but in the end, he bagged up our leftovers & wrote the date on them. Double black diamond martini 11/10: this one was recommended by Logan. IT IS THE DRINK. You can barely taste the alcohol. Really, it tastes like straight up pineapple juice. Baja steak pasta 7/10: You can substitute the shrimp for the steak which I found to be a good combo still! Loved the goat cheese and sauce in this dish. The protein to noodle ratio threw me off a bit. Lots of noodles. read more

I like that the the food is consistently good and the drinks are phenomenal. No misses, always a hit. I really enjoyed their Ribs recently and you can't go wrong with their burgers. Use to get the Salmon all the time and that is also a solid good dish! Hooked on one of their drinks right now "The Art of Fire!" Corazon Tequila, in house spice Mango Syrup, Lemon Juice and some Tajin on the rim...Fire me up Baby! read more

Here's how to turnaround a bad experience: This as written was going to be 3 star sub par review. It gets a 4 for how our experience ended. As excited & pleased as we were first time we came a couple weeks ago, today was not good. I'm not sure if it was that we were a bigger party (5 people instead of 2) or if our server was spread too thin, because we didn't see her much at all. Very long periods of time passed before she entered the room we were in, for us or anyone else. It took forever for me to get a beer. All other drinks took long but not as long (soda). My draft beer took 30 minutes. We were seated in the room all the way in the back. More for larger parties. It was really loud. Liked the other dining area better, but we are a party of 5. At this point, we have been seated over an hour now and still waiting for our meals. The waitress did apologize and say it wouldn't be much longer, but it was. Read my first review, i was excited to bring my family here. When our meals finally arrived, my ribs were cold. Like they had been sitting a long while. No warmth at all. Sent back to please have a hot meal. In the meantime, one of us who had a medium steak cut into it to find it was rare. Red and not cooked at all except around edges. So once the waitress came back 20 minutes later with my hot meal, we sent back the steak. At this point we have been here 2 hours and all still have not received our meals. Here's where it turns for the better. A manager came over to apologize. We were politely honest about how bad tonight was..service & food being cold/not cooked properly. When the waitress brought our check, they took the steak AND the ribs OFF the bill!!! That's how to turn a bad experience into a positive. The food here is really good. I think it was just a bad night because the entire experience was the opposite of first time we came here. read more

I'll start this review by saying if not for Kyle, I would have rated this place 2 stars. Although my opinion of the food is important; customer service will always be a deciding factor on if I recommend a place or if I choose to return. Thanks to the OVER THE TOP service Kyle provided me and my sister this evening, I will be sure to return and recommend this specific location to everyone I know. We called ahead to check if there was a wait time and was told no. Although the restaurant was beautiful + clean and we were seated immediately, it felt like forever before we were greeted and waited on. We sat for over 20 mins before my sister got frustrated and went to the host booth to address the issue. All of the tables around us were being serviced but for some reason no one stopped to greet us or even let us know someone would be with us shortly. Different waiters and waitresses walked by, looked us in the face, and said nothing. Finally Kyle saw us, walked over, and asked if we had been waiting long. Initially we were told another waitress was assigned to our table, but because he felt so bad about the wait, he decided to take us on and boy was I glad he did. The phrase "Above and Beyond" does not begin to put into words the care he provided. He made recommendations, he was empathetic, he was quick, and wouldn't leave our table until we gave a seal of approval for everything we ordered. Now, lets talk about the food....it was worth the wait. We had the deviled eggs for start. They were so good. Perfect mixture of sweet and salty. The candy coated bacon really gives the egg that sweetness needed to match the egg filling that had a tangy taste to it from the mustard used it in. We both opted to get the 3 course meal. Cannot say I've dined many places that offer pre fix menues where I was satisfied with all the options offered. Most places put the stuff no one really wants on the pre fixed menu but not Firebirds, as the options offered were great! I had the caesar salad, sirlion (comes with parm mashed potatoes and a veggie), and creme brulee cheesecake. Everything was amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly. Easy to cut through and seasoned to perfection. So perfect, I didn't even need steak sauce! The mashed potatoes were good as well. The star of the show was the cheesecake. It was amazing. I even got a chance to try my sisters bread pudding, which was amazing as well. To drink, I tried the double black diamond martini and the pineapple paradise. I usually order a lemon drop wherever I go but Kyle challenged me to try something different and recommended the black diamond martini. I'm glad he did because it was soooooo good. Its one of those drinks that taste kinda sweet but sneaks up on you after a few sips. Everything we ordered was literally amazing. Management even came over to check on us after Kyle told him what happened, which sealed the deal for us. We will definately be returning here soon. read more

I had one of the best steaks ever here. I asked for medium rare and it was on spot! Our waitress was super nice, the service was the best! The ambiance was so nice the lights dim but not too dim to give me a headache. This was one of the best restaurants ever! read more

Great place for a birthday dinner! The steaks were awesome. The sautéed mushrooms and onions were great toppers. It wasn't cheap, but we got what we paid for. read more

Great food, friendly service, Warm setting. Parking is a minor issue because it's always busy and set among other popular spots.

Made reservations on Monday through AI system. I asked for 6 people at noon for Thursday 5/21. I wanted the Red Room. I rec'd confirmation with no mention of Red Room. I called each day after that and ask to speak to a real person. I was transferred but it kept ringing, no one answered. The room was previously booked when we arrived. The hostess apologized - I wanted to know why no one called to advise my request could not be honored??? If Firebirds plans to use a computer based system at least make it work correctly. This is poor business practice. We got a round table in the back room . We felt rushed as the waitress would continually come by and remove plates. All we wanted was a quiet lunch with friends , not have arms reaching around us. Our fault as we should have let the waitress know that we were fine and please leave the dishes until we are finished. On a positive note, the food was very good. read more

Can't believe I forgot to take a picture, but I've been coming to Firebirds for almost a decade now. Honestly, it's probably over a decade lol... But they never disappoint. There's plenty of space in there for any party size. Plenty of food options. One of our favorites has always been the strawberry salad. I tried the Seabass entrée the other day and was pleasantly surprised. I hate the entire thing it was that good. Service is always great there. They have plenty of help, so you never have to wait too long for anything. I see they also host a lot of graduation parties or anything of that nature so if you're looking for somewhere to treat a party to dinner, this would be a great option. read more

Well once again my son demonstrated his ability to identify an amazing place for us to eat. He and his girlfriend told us we needed to try Firebirds. Our group headed out on a Friday night. We numbered 6 and had no reservations. Knowing it was risky, we arrived around 7. At first we were told it would be a30 minute wait but we were seated within 10 minutes. Our server, Ivan, was awesome. He was courteous, helpful and attentive without being obtrusive. The appetizer were wonderful. We had the lobster spinach queso and the cheesesteak egg rolls. Highly recommend both (no pictures- had hungry folks). Everyone tried different cocktails. The Moscow mules were not a hit with either drinker, but the others were very well received. I had the charred pineapple agua fresca. It was a fun presentation of my usual water. The meals were great. You'll see from the pictures the variety. I had the Baja shrimp pasta but substituted the chimichurri portobello mushrooms. It was outstanding. Portion sizes were very generous and the pace of food delivery was perfect for us. For dessert the cheesecake and carrot cake were shared by the table. Oh so good! Recommend you check it out read more

Landed late night and checked the place out as it was right across from the hotel I was staying. Food was bleh. Ordered the prime rib rare but they only had medium rare which I elected for. It was medium to well done when it came out. The server which I forgot her name was marvelous to say the least. The young lady apologized and asked right away if I wanted to swap out for a different entree. I swapped to a ribeye and came out the way I wanted. The ribeye felt more like a sirloin or something you get from Golden Corral but service was top tier. read more

Overall: the spot has a really cool vibe and good steaks. Get a reservation ahead of time or sit at the bar (no wait). One day we were in the area and craving steak so found this place through Yelp. when we pulled up, we noticed a group of people waiting outside and also in the space between the two front doors, and the vibe seemed really cool. However, there was an hour and a half wait to get seated at a table, but they said we could sit in the bar area, including the tables in the bar with full access to the menu so that's what we did! The service wasn't as fast as the main area I think but still pretty good. The complementary bread was on point and delicious with butter. We got the filet mignon with street corn and the filet mignon with au gratin potatoes. It was nice that the steaks came with a side. I got the mixed green salad. I have to say it was pretty weird. I don't recommend the salad, but the filet mignon was great: the bacon wrap around it added a lot of flavor. read more

The service was amazing, the waitress took her time and was extra careful with the food. The food was delicious my baby back ribs looked amazing and tasted even better. This place was an overall 9.2 I would definitely recommend to all future people noticing this comment! read more

We visited to celebrate a belated birthday and had a great time. We were initially seated in an area that was kinda chilly and they were gracious enough to reseat us in a section that was right in front of the kitchen. We had a great server (Abby) and had an opportunity to chat with Chef Jorge Garcia about the food and the flavors. He's very personable. We ordered appetizers and chose the prefix menu for dinner. The prefix is a great value and I appreciated it because I am a frequent restaurant week participant!! The Birthday girl was happy so it's a win/win!!! We have already scheduled to come back for happy hour and check out the bar and some other appetizers during that time!!! Thanks again for great birthday celebration. read more

Shoutout to Breana for providing outstanding service at Firebirds Springfield Franconia, 7027A Manchester Blvd on 7 January 2025! Breana greeted me with a smile, water and asked if I was ready to order. I needed a few minutes. She came back took my order. A few minutes later, she brought the bread and condiments that I asked for. And voila, the food was there! Now for the 5-star rating. As I was eating, someone called with an urgent message and needed me right away. I shared my apologies with Breana that I was departing. Without hesitation, she quickly boxed my food, got my bill and had me out in about 2 minutes. Her professionalism and caring for my moment of need stood out to me. Left a great tip and will definitely be back:) read more

What an awesome place to dine. My husband and I were greeted by the best waiter in the place. Ivan was his name. His professionalism, mannerism, and customer service was outstanding and genuine. It really made the dinner we had worth the price because of the service given to us. The food was tasteful and delicious. No waiting and the cleanliness outstanding ! read more

Ordered curbside takeout for dinner. Everything was perfectly packed and delivered to my car a few minutes prior to the time they said it would be ready. The only confusion was they also texted me to let me know that "if I'm already here" they would bring it out immediately (this was about 15 minutes before it was supposed to be ready which surprised me). I hurried over there, but still ended up having to wait until almost the time. The order said it was gonna be ready. They just need to get the texting and sync. It seems to me. I thought the prime rib was a thick slice and cooked, medium rare as requested, but it was tough in some spots and the flavor was barely OK. It was definitely too dry (absolutely no juice). I would not order it again. The baked potato was exceptional. The way they did the skin really made a difference. Their lemon cream layer cake ($10.95) was fantastic and I highly recommend it. Prices for entrées were very reasonable. I thought. Prices for desserts were a little high, but that was also the highlight of the dinner. read more

Ordered grilled shrimp and strawberry salad, shrimp were inedible, way too salty. Were replaced with "lightly seasoned" shrimp which were also inedible, probably brined in salt, not good. Also, pieces of wood skewers were left in the shrimp. Ordered burger "medium" it was delivered "well done", ordered kids chicken fingers, again, inedible, probably brined. Chef should be tasting these items and making adjustments. Would not return. read more

I rarely give a 5-star review, but my mom agrees that this one is well-deserved. I was looking for a restaurant to have a birthday brunch with my mother and stepfather, and after a pretty extensive search, I decided to give Firebirds a try. Upon arrival, we were seated quickly. They even accommodated our request for a different table, without a fuss. Our server, April, was super nice and attentive. About the food... For the appetizer, we ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls. They were scrumptious! I mean the cheese was cheesin' and the meat was well-seasoned. Pops also ordered a BLT salad; he just nodded in between bites when we asked him if he liked it. For the main course, we ordered the steak and eggs bowl; Durango burger; and salmon and grits. Every dish was delicious, with each component seasoned just right. And the creme brulee cheesecake was divine. Lastly, if you're a coffee fan, the Flannel Pajamas is a must. We will definitely be back. read more

The food was delicious, the service was good. Well worth the short wait to get a table.

Parmesan crusted chicken was very tasty. The portion was enough to have leftovers. The scalloped potatoes were okay. I wished they were cooked a little but longer and had more seasoning. I enjoyed my dining experience. read more

The BLT salad was wonderful, but my entree the plate was hot and the broccoli was just warm. I would still come again

This was my first visit to the restaurant, it was very busy and now I see why. The drinks as well as the food were delicious. I tried the firecracker shrimp appetizer which was so good that I can't wait to get it again, a large portion for sharing and very flavorful. For dinner I had the roasted garlic sirloin steak it had plenty of flavor and I enjoyed it. Parking can be rough because the lot seems to be busy all the time but it's worth the hassle. Perfect for a dinner date or even as a group. read more

I've been here a few times, but hadn't been in about 2 years. Went Saturday at 5pm and was just disappointed from the get go. People there to eat in basketball shorts and tank tops.. wife tried to order one of their cocktails but they didn't have the ingredients after waiting about 15 min to get it... tried to order a different one and they didn't have that one either.. she just gave up at that point. I got the chicken tortilla soup and it came out room temperature..I ordered a filet medium rare and it came out medium well if not well done.. so I had to send that one back... it's just not up to the same standards I've had before... besides the fact that my waiter would have rather been anywhere but there..lol.. we won't be back read more

Food is excellent; service is good and ambiance (although, noise level is loud) is very nice.

The greeting at the door wasn't very pleasant. However my bar keeper/server was better. I order a superfood salad with tuna... it's ok, not great. The atmosphere is on point. my server Shannon made my visit enjoyable the bill was reasonable for what I had not to over price however, the maître or the person at the door was trying to be too professional and came off as politely rude. read more

Well if I'm paying for dinner. I want what i want. Left. Drive to Firebirds. Got in. Ordered a prime rub problem solved. You dont want my hard earned money somone else does. Thank you Firebirds from today forward I will start with you. read more

Very disappointed and will not return...ever! The appetizer was lobster queso. It was MAYBE 1 cup of dip with a minimal number of tiny pieces of lobster served with a plate full of tortilla chips for $17.95. Absurd! The baja shrimp pasta was adequate at best. Nothing more than I might find in the freezer section of the grocery store in taste, quality and volume for $29.95. Also, extremely disappointing. My husband's 7 oz beef filet was acceptable at best for $39.95. The restaurant was so dimly lit that you could barely see what your meal looked like. The server was likely a college student who responded to our requests but did not check to see if we were pleased with our meals or if we needed anything during our meal. I will say that the Manager on duty was very attentive. She responded to our request to speak with her promptly and was very professional. We dined at Firebirds last month. I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant and will not return ever. A one star rating is generous. read more
