Firebirds is a
chain restaurant with local and cozy charm. The amazing customer service that
you get right away gives its charm and the big fireplace makes it cozy. The
first item that I started with was the Mango Mojito (Mt. Gay Eclipse Rum, fresh
mango, lime, mint and splash of soda). This concoction was simply delish and
well garnished with visual appeal. The bartender did not skimp out on the
liquor which I highly appreciated. Overall it was worth my $6
Next was the
Shrimp Tacos ($7). You can choose to have them grilled or crispy. I chose to
have mine grilled. With these tacos they are bit spicy. If spicy isn’t your
forte you can ask to have the spicy sauce put to the side. Firebirds version of
Shrimp Tacos are garnished with avocado and pineapple salsa which cools down
the spicy sauce. It’s absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Just one bite
would make you want to dance.
I also devoured
their Crispy Hand Spun Chicken Tenders ($7). Nothing really too fancy with this
dish. The tenders are tossed in a buffalo sauce paired with blue cheese dip.
The flavor was good to be expected.
Next, is the
Smoked Salmon Dip ($5). The dip is paired with seasoned toast. You can really
taste the smoke from the salmon. The dip overall was good first and second
bites. After the third bite I was kind of over it. The dip did smell a bit
fishy and gave that annoying aftertaste.
Overall, Firebirds
was amazing. The customer service alone was top notch and I appreciated that
the fact the General Manager came to our table to ask how our experience
was. I do see myself coming back
Firebirds more often! Firebirds Wood Fire Grill gets 5 Smiles.
