Cool mountain air. A crackling wood fire. The sizzle of the grill. And the spark of great conversation. Those aren't just the ingredients for a great meal. They're the soul of Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant dedicated to the world's oldest method of cooking - and the most satisfying. Inspired by the bold flavors and tradition of live fire cooking in the West, the first Firebirds called itself a "Rocky Mountain Grill." But not so long afterward, the restaurant changed its name to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. Because at its core, what makes Firebirds' scratch cooking so delicious - and inspires everything from the menu to its hospitality and décor - isn't a place. It's the fire itself. Firebirds has come a long way since the early days. Not only is the menu broader, the ambiance more polished and the value greater than ever, today Firebirds Wood Fired Grill serves guests across the country. But some things never change - like Firebirds' commitment to quality and freshness and its passion for introducing guests to the primal pleasure of meats, seafood and vegetables grilled over a blazing wood fire. From Firebirds' locally sourced hardwoods to its unique cooking techniques, everything Firebirds does honors the power of the flame. Because wood fired grilling brings people together. And its bold flavors set Firebirds apart.

    We had a party of seven adults, and the service was outstanding - friendly, attentive, patient, perfect timing. The halibut special was popular with our group and even the meatloaf was outstanding, as were desserts! Noise level seems better in the past, it wasn't a problem to hear our conversations from one end of the table to the other. Great night.

    We always love the food at Choplins. It is very gourmet and the service was excellent too. I love the fact that they help prepare food for the homeless and during Covid they helped prepare food for school kids that were missing their lunch at school.

    Using Open Table, we always get escorted directly to our table without a wait which is priceless!! Our dinner last night at Firebirds in Huntersville, NC, was delicious and the steaks were perfectly prepared! The young man who was acting as host at the front entrance was great. He worked so hard the entire time we were there. We were a bit shocked at how much the prices have increased, even since we last dined there in August. It may mean we go less often but it was worth it to have a delicious meal!!

    The Port City is one of my new faves! I just love the Orange Julius and Lobster dumplings though only four at $5 each is bit much since I would love them as a meal!!!! The Chili Crusted Seared Tuna is amazing!!! Hope to make it a monthly stop.
