Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

Outstanding food, great service and fast. We were traveling on 90 looking for more than fast food. Bread is great that you dip in butter. We had a sirloin and a rib eye… Both were great but I liked the rib eye more as it was done perfectly medium moo! Take the time to stop and enjoy this great place to eat. Best ice water in all of western PA. Our server Allie was awesome and had a great sense of humor.

Firebirds was ok tonight but the lemonade was too sour and had to be sent back. The steak was over cooked and was sent back as well. The caesar salad dressing was bitter and plain out not that good. The wait was forever and by the time my redone steak was back to me my dinning companion had finished their meal. Thank god the manager walked by and took the over done steak back. When we got the check the waitress took over ten minutes to come take it to be be paid.
Disappointed

I’ve been to a few Firebirds and I’m happy to see the Erie location is doing well and still kept nicely. Great happy hour deals and got my PA Yuengling fix (for only $ 2!!!). Friendly staff and a great meal with mum and my aunt. The pecan crusted trout with mango salsa is my favourite! Mum and my aunt enjoyed their meals as well.

I cannot thank Firebirds Erie anymore than I can do so on Unilocal.We brought ten people here after my Mother’s funeral in lieu of a wake because very few members of our family live here anymore. Making arrangements with Allie a few days previously, she was professional and handled everything perfectly. All the servers were extremely helpful, even with some very tired and ornery family members. The food was extremely good for a table of ten. We were all very impressed and the staff is to be highly commended. We love our Firebirds in Chattanooga, but We will all never forget that Firebirds made a very difficult day much more pleasant. Thank you ALL!

My first experience here was in November. I came in with some friends for happy hour and ordered the Siesta Sangria (amazing) as well as all of the appetizers. My favorites were the shrimp tacos, pretzel with bier cheese, and jalapeño cheese dip. Delicious, prompt service, great ambience. I’m a fan.
— 1 star because when we tried to come back last night, the hostess was hostile when I inquired about seating by the bar. Seemingly annoyed as she informed me of the «first come first serve» policy and that they were obviously busy [gesturing to the crowd], I no longer felt welcome. Customer service is huge in my book, as it sets the tone for the rest of the dining experience.

This compares to a good high end steak house in most major cities. For Erie, it’s very good.
It has an attractive bar with a lot of energy. The dining room offers both tables and booths option for seating.
After getting our seats, we were promptly greeted by our server, followed by warm bread shortly after. We ordered filets which were cooked perfectly and tender and juicy.
If in Erie and looking for steaks, this is your place.

Great date spot if you are looking to make a solid impression. Wouldn’t go here for a lunch gathering though. Would recommend calling ahead and checking seating times though. Always decent service nothing to exciting but the décor and atmosphere make up for that.

Nice date night at Firebirds for dinner. Alison took great care of us. Had Colorado chicken salad. He had creole strip steak. Yum. Call ahead to get on the check in for a table. It is just like showing up and putting your name in!

Our dinner was an impressively wonderful experience. I was a little skeptical at first since it’s a restaurant in a mall; turned out my worries were unnecessary.
The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the firewood smell before I smelled any food. The olfactory sensory was such a small detail, but it really surprised me and made me more excited about the meal.
Service was superb, from our reservation phone call to our server, everyone is highly professional yet still relaxed and pleasant.
The food was so amazing, it really exceeded our expectation. We ordered surf and turf for our entrée. The steak was beautifully cooked; pink and juicy without bleeding — absolutely perfect! The meat tasted so clean that you know they source very high quality meat. The lobster was sweet and also cooked perfectly. The grilled lime just set it over the top.
We will definitely return — even though we live almost 2 hours away. Worth the drive and every penny.

A bit pricey but that was expected. But man was it worth it! Great food, great service. We may not become regulars due to the cost but we’ll definitely be back.

Great food. Would def visit again. Inserting took a while but ovoid was great, especially the onion rings.

Simply Outstanding!!! Had the Prime Rib. Cooked to perfection! The service was impeccable. Had the same experience at their Richmond, Va location. This is a must if you are looking for a great meal and service!!!
Great job!

Spectacular ambiance and great food. I don’t say this often but the service was too good… Borderline neurotic.
I had the filet kabobs and a salad. Both were exceptional and executed perfectly. To drink, I had a rail bender… It was also fantastic and ice cold.
This was my first time there but certainly not my last, I will be back every chance I get.

Had a great meal, and the server and staff were all very nice!
We really enjoyed our food, and the bread they give you at the table is deeeelish. My ONE complaint would be that there weren’t any sort of firegrilled flatbreads or pizzas on the menu. I feel that it would go so well with the wood-​grill theme to have a little flatbread appetizer as an option.
Food rundown:
I got the Firebirds BLT Salad with added grilled chicken… the chicken was SOOOOO flavorful and juicy. I’ve never had such delicious chicken when its an add-​on to a salad! I was very pleasantly surprised. Definitely a welcome change from the usual dry, bland grilled chicken most places will top a salad with.
He got the Cilantro Grilled Chicken, and was also very pleased by the tender, juicy, and full of flavor chicken.

Excellent service, food, prices, and atmosphere. This is a top notch steakhouse in terms of quality of food and service but without the price tag. Everything is moderately priced and delicious. I consider myself somewhat of a steak connoisseur and this is up with the best of them. You will find some classic sides, but also a twist on salads, non-​steak entrees, and apps. The dessert menu is worth a shot with the brownie being one of my husband’s favorites. They also have a great cocktail and wine menu.
Another plus is their care for dietary restrictions. I have a ton of food allergies and they take of every one. The food is made to order and the ingredients are pure. I would give 6 stars for this if I could! Definitely stop by!

Nice place. Moody and comfy. Menu has options for just about everyone. The bar is decently stocked. I had the fish tacos which were stupendous.
I have been numerous times and can’t really say I’ve had a bad meal. Marginal maybe, but never bad.

Went in August 2014 best food hands down I have had in a long time. Steak was amazing and cooked perfect. Service was great and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Hoping we visit Erie again and soon!

The Good: Service from Allison at the bar was excellent. She was friendly, fast, attentive, and made a great martini. The salmon was great too.
The Bad: nothing
The Rest: exceeded my expectations. I expected a four star experience and they were five star. Good meal; great service; good cocktail; glad I stopped by!

First of all, the service has been great every time we have gone. Everyone on the service team does a really great job. I believe our server’s name this time was Mike.
Although the food is good, I just don’t think it’s up to all the hype. Don’t go in expecting Smokeybones… they cook over a wood fired grill but aren’t a smokehouse.
Ordered the Ranch Rings (which are onion rings battered in a yummy, crunchy ranchy seasoned batter, served with ranch dressing) and they were sooo tasty. I had the NY Strip and it was done perfectly, but I found my baked potato to be a little dry and boring. Be sure to order extra butter or something. I also had the mixed greens salad which was also really good, but if you don’t want the vinegarette it comes with, be sure to ask for a different dressing (although I quite enjoyed what it came with) and also it comes loaded with toasted pecans, so if you have an allergy, be aware.
I found the menu selections a little limited; my husband is allergic to nuts and seafood and is not a fan of steak, so that narrowed his choices (maybe he’s just too picky). But if you are a beef lover like me, you are fine! Lots of choices on that front.

Another Unilocal find!
7oz filet was surprisingly really good. Looked nothing like the picture but was cooked perfectly!!! I melted in my mouth and who doesn’t love a baked potato with a crispy salt outside! The bread was not good. It came out hot and fresh but was not flavorful. I think it had too much cornmeal on it? Kids sundae is cute and just the right size!
Plenty if parking as this in the mall lot. They have outside seating and open kitchen. Would defiantly stop in if I’m ever in the area again.
