Restaurants près de Carowinds Amusement Park

We went to Firebirds for my wife’s birthday on a Wednesday night. Restaurant was about 1/3 full when we arrived and we were seated immediately. Our server, Joseph, was quickly to our table with drink menu and his recommendations. We chose non-alcoholic beverages and Joseph quickly fetched the drinks and took our appetizer order, Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. Joseph brought the house bread and butter and allowed us time to chat and enjoy the bread. The appetizer came out and we gave our entree orders. Cilantro chicken for my wife and the Smoke Burger for me. The appetizer was larger than we expected and very tasty. The entrees were served and again very tasty. I am a French fry purist, I do not like them with any kind of coatings or gimmicks other than a light salting, hard to find these days. But, they were here at Firebirds, delicious and crispy. The burger was very good but not exceptional, but that could have been because I had already eaten the appetizer which nearly filled me up. The Cilantro Chicken got a very good rating from my wife who brought half of it home so she could eat the surprise Happy Birthday dessert that Joseph brought since he knew it was her birthday. Crème Brûlée cheesecake was excellent and presented tastefully. Overall, a great dinner and we will be very happy to return. Our server Joseph was exemplary, tending our drinks without being intrusive, friendly without being chummy, with just enough checking on our needs to make the meal very enjoyable. Noise level was fine in the rearward dining area but out at the bar area it seemed louder. When we left there was a wait for tables. Overall score 5 out of 5

My first time dining here, but it won’t be my last! The Lychee sangria was tasty, as was the guacamole with the fried pork belly, and the street corn. The service and food quality was very good.

We had a great time celebrating my daughter’s birthday! Chip and the food manager were great! We will definitely come back here.

Tried this place for the first time as part of the YOCO Taste Trail and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff was so nice, the food was delicious, and the portion sizes were perfect. There’s nothing worse than going to a restaurant and getting huge portions, so I really appreciated it. Would definitely come back again and recommend to others. BONUS: They are open on Mondays.

Friendly, professional service, great food. Took over an hour for our meal. But was delicious once served.
