The service was really great and the place is really spacious. There was a private room near the bar that would work well for a bookclub discussion if you're looking for engaging conversation and delicious bites. My friend ordered the ranch rings and the chicken chile nachos. I tasted both and they were really delicious. Would definitely purchase during another visit and recommend you try. I was kinda skeptical about the goat cheese on the nachos but they made it work. I ordered the steak tacos (3 tacos) and the southwest au gratin potatoes. The steak tacos were good (would order again) but the potatoes weren't worth raving about. I enjoyed the pickled red onions and the slaw on the tacos. The steak was cooked medium but I like my steak that way so if that's not your jam - definitely clarify that to your server. Didn't get to try any of the cocktails but looking forward to returning to check out some of the selections offered!

My first visit to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill in Lee's Summit -- and overall a solid experience with…read morea few service hiccups worth noting. We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday and were told there would be about a 10-minute wait, so we opted to grab seats at the bar and have dinner there instead. As the evening went on, we learned there are some trade-offs to dining at the bar. As the restaurant filled up, the bar area became increasingly busy and service naturally slowed. Small but noticeable details -- like water refills -- started getting overlooked. I was also surprised our server never checked in with my wife about her Chicken Pasta, especially since she barely touched it. We started with the Caesar Salad, which was excellent. The portion size was enormous -- easily large enough for two people to share -- with crisp romaine, generous dressing, and plenty of shaved Parmesan. I'm a longtime prime rib fan, so seeing it featured immediately caught my attention. The 13-ounce cut arrived perfectly medium rare, exactly as ordered. The meat was exceptionally tender and flavorful, complemented nicely by a rich au jus and a creamy horseradish ("horsey") sauce that added just the right kick. My wife ordered the Chicken Pasta, which arrived as a very generous portion that could easily serve two. The dish featured grilled chicken over pasta in a spicy Asiago cream sauce. Unfortunately, the heat level was stronger than expected and ended up overpowering the dish for her, leaving most of it uneaten. One highlight of the evening was the Double Black Diamond Martini -- an infusion of fresh pineapple with New Amsterdam Pineapple Vodka. At $7.95 during Happy Hour (normally $13.95), it felt like one of the best values on the menu and was refreshing without being overly sweet. The restaurant was packed throughout our visit and clearly has a loyal following. After six years in this location, Firebirds seems to have built a strong customer base. With a bit more attentiveness to bar diners during peak hours, the experience could easily move from good to great.

两个饥肠辘辘的人，刚在堪萨斯看完世界杯比赛，钻到了Blue Spring找吃的，没想到选了一家当地有名的餐厅。…read moreCalamari挺不错的，完整的鱿鱼圈加上比较薄的粉料，特别适合被暴雨吹打之后用脂肪和蛋白质安抚情绪。 Hamburger做得挺好，在special hour时段，性价比就显得特别高了，并且配上了烤蔬菜，营养很均衡了。 Country Fried Steak第一次尝试，我的同伴不是很能接受，我后来研究了一下发现这是一个美国特色的餐食，嗯...如果我不是吃饱了的话，是可以帮他share一小半的。配的side里的洋葱圈看着也很棒，不是连锁店那种小小的近似鱿鱼圈的样子。 Caesar Salad很好，dressing我没用太多，但是cheese配上蔬菜已经足够好了。 总结一下，如果时间允许，我可能会把hamburger替换成更有当地特色的餐食，比较我们进店的时候已经12小时没怎么吃东西了，事实证明，花50多刀在球场吃个两人份的bowl，远不如忍耐一下来一顿堪萨斯当地优质美食，还能额外喝一杯啤酒，太棒了！ Two starving travelers had just finished watching a World Cup match in Kansas City and headed over to Blue Springs in search of food. By pure chance, we ended up choosing a well-known local restaurant. The calamari was very good -- proper, full-sized squid rings with a relatively light coating. After being battered by a downpour, it was exactly the kind of thing you want to calm yourself down with: fat and protein. The hamburger was also very well made. During happy hour, the value for money was especially good, and it came with grilled vegetables, which made the whole meal feel surprisingly well balanced. It was my first time trying Country Fried Steak. My companion was not really a fan, but after looking it up later, I realized that it is a distinctly American comfort food. Well... had I not already been full, I probably could have helped him out with half of it. The onion rings that came as a side also looked excellent -- big, substantial rings, not those tiny chain-restaurant ones that almost look like calamari. The Caesar Salad was very good too. I did not use much of the dressing, but honestly, the cheese and vegetables were already enough for me. To sum it up, if time allowed, I would probably replace the hamburger with something more distinctly local next time. To be fair, we had barely eaten anything for about 12 hours before walking in, so we were not exactly in the mood to take risks. And as it turned out, spending more than $50 on a two-person bowl at the stadium was nowhere near as satisfying as holding out a little longer for a genuinely good local meal in the Kansas City area -- with a beer on top of that. Absolutely worth it.

I honestly try to shy away from "hotel restaurants" but this..was a diff feel. I made a reservation 15 mins prior. And it was honored. On a Friday. I'm beating myself over the head for not remembering our server's name. He was attentive & good! We didn't need to ask for a refill, once! He knew when we needed it / when we were done with our food. Onto the food. The pesto primavera w/ grilled chicken - my oh my was is full of flavor. Bland? I don't think so. Chicken dry? No sir! The 12oz Rib Eye (med rare) - done correctly and so good w/ the brown sugar Dijon. Slightly sweet but paired so well with the rib eye. Let's talk about costs. Costs of drinks - espresso martini $10, worth it..? Yup! Food costs - for steaks, yes. They will always be somewhat on the pricey side. However, the pesto primavera, alone, is $21, with grilled chicken is $29. Is it worth it? No. I think it should be $21 for grilled chicken primavera, in itself. Regardless - we enjoyed our time & didn't feel rushed

I most recently went on a weekend and it wasn't packed for once which was good. My mom got the steak salad which I tried and that was yummy. I tried the Baja tuna tostadas which had a decent flavor but they were so coated in overly salty sauce or seasoning that I couldn't really enjoy them. There was so much going on I feel like it was to distract you from the $16 that the dish was definitely not worth. Our waitress was very nice and all the other times I have been there they have been nice and helpful as well. The ambiance is good and there is lots of seating so you don't feel cramped up against other people which is good because the restaurant can get very busy on the weekends.

I could describe every experience with this restaurant but I'll leave you with the previous few. And I know what you're thinking, if the food was so bad, why do you keep going back? Well, hope and optimism. Rooting for Roots! We want the local place to succeed, but we've come to the conclusion that what they really need in order to improve, is honest feedback. But part of me hopes that it changes nothing. And here's why... my wife and I love this place. But in a weird way... allow me to explain, imagine the place as a Saturday Night Live sketch where the staff, the menu and ambiance are unapologetically pretentious, but the food doesn't deliver on any level. It's pure entertainment. We have dinner and an inside joke. First of all, for the price, you naturally expect elevated dishes and excellent service. We both had a cocktail, a glass of wine with dinner, an appetizer, entrees, salad and desert. Around $250 with tip. Pricey, but reasonable if the place delivers. On one visit we had the duck, which was served undercooked and when we mentioned it to the waiter, she scoffed, "that's the way it's supposed to be served." So feeling duly chastised for our ignorance, we shut up and ate the duck. I don't know the organism involved, but my wife and I were up all night vying for access to the bathroom. Enough said. Things were dicey, but no trips to the hospital. Six months or so had passed and finally, last night we rolled the dice and tried Roots again. My wife said her dinner was fine. She had stuffed salmon, adequate, but not great. For me, It was between the steak and the pork belly. Now I had the steak before once and it was... well it was definitely a steak. I'm not going to say much about it except for this... if you like the taste of a good glass of water, order the steak. So having experienced the steak already, I ordered the pork belly, which is an extremely tasty and forgiving cut of meat in my experience. But somehow at Roots, they figured out how to prepare it poorly. Yikes! It was dry as a bone, but only in the places where it wasn't tough as shoe leather. It had to have sounded like a rock when it hit the plate. The naturally rich flavor was cooked completely out of it, and any surviving seasonings were successfully burned away during the cremation process. I was starving so I made a valiant effort at finishing it, but it took several glasses of water and an inordinate amount of chewing. My wife laughed at me the whole time. I offered her a bite but she demurred, quipping that it had been a long week and she simply didn't have the energy. It was served with a "slaw" that consisted primarily of a plain sliced onion and slices of flavorless apple devoid of seasoning or dressing. I honestly don't know how this dish made it out of the kitchen, let alone a chef's imagination. It has become a quest for my wife and me. Like the holy grail of dining experiences, only a few minutes from our home. Ever the optimists, we will just keep trying Roots again every six months or so and hope for better on each trip... or not. If you're looking for a unique dining experience, please try Roots. We want them to succeed so we can keep coming back and having these comically terrible experiences. If pretentious irony is your spirit animal, please try roots. And Roots, please keep trying. We will keep spending $250 bucks for "dinner" and a show. PS, to add to your experience, ask for a booth when you arrive for your reservation, they will look you up and down and politely say "no" as they walk you past 4 empty booths. No explanation...

Roots Seasonal Cuisine is one of my favorite spots in Lee's Summit, and my latest happy hour visit…read morereminded me exactly why. I stopped in with my girlfriend Lisa, who loves this place so much they basically have a little corner reserved for her. She likes to work from there because the Wi-Fi is good, the vibe is comfortable, and the food is consistently amazing. We sat at the bar, had a couple glasses of wine, and Austin took great care of us. Lisa had the steak special, which was the ribeye, and I had the salmon. Both were really, really great. The salmon was cooked beautifully and the whole meal was exactly why I keep coming back. One small callout: there was a $3 difference between what the salmon was listed for on the menu and what I was charged. I let Austin know so they could catch it for future guests. It did not change my overall experience, but I appreciated being able to mention it. Brandon, one of the co-owners, is amazing. He came out and spoke with us, and that personal touch is part of what makes Roots feel special. You can tell they care about the food, the service, and the people who come in. Their happy hour is amazing, and their seasonal menu changes are superb. I love coming in and trying different things. The salmon tacos are delicious, the birria fries are a must, and I always look forward to seeing what new crostini they are featuring since those change every few months. Roots is consistent without being boring. Great food, great service, great drinks, and a menu that keeps giving you a reason to come back. Can't wait to come back. See y'all next week.
