Local Expedition Wood Fired Grill

I had lunch here on yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about it. Lol. I ordered thr chicken pita wrap, fries, street corn and a pineapple soda through the kiosk. The food came out between 5-7 minutes after placing my order and it was hot and delicious. The standout was the street corn and pineapple cream soda. I’m already planning to visit again this month!

As a wood fired grill, you'd expect some great meats but really this place is all about the vegetable sides. Too many to list, and nothing I wouldn't go back to. Highlights though for me are the veggie curry, Brussels, and the Local corn. (Many dishes are vegan and gluten free as well) The wings are quite good too, add them onto an order to try them!

Always fast service, friendly staff, clean environment, and a variety of drinks to choose from. We go here once a week for a healthy and delicious dinner. Definitely a gem of Alpharetta restaurants.

Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options

Parking: Occasionally busy in the parking lot out front and turning around when it's full can be tricky, but plenty of parking out back too.

How does this happen? How does a 4.8 star reviewed restaurant taste so bad and bland. Non of the veggies were fresh and they were drowned in oils. The chicken breast was dry. The chicken wings were flavorful but not fresh. The service was nice.

Really wanted to like this place especially with all the great reviews and publicity. Unfortunately they use seed oils for all their dishes. Not ideal for a place who markets as healthy.

One of my absolute favorite spots in Atlanta for anytime: lunch, dinner, whenever! They have so many side options that you can never get bored. My personal favorite is the black sesame sweet potato. I usually get that with chicken. They have 4 sauce options, the cilantro jalapeno one is soooo good!! I also love that they have stubborn pineapple crème soda, it is so good, I usually don’t drink sugary drinks but this is my one spot I do! Everyone I’ve brought here loves it. It is plain, simple, clean food with lots of options and a great flavor! Would come here daily if I lived closer/could.

Food continues to be excellent, service is always great. Lunch hour can get really busy, but it is totally understandable why. Park behind or next door at Starbucks if the lot out front is full.

I had a fantastic lunch experience at Firebird Wood Grill today. The chicken was absolutely amazing—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional professionalism of the manager working the lunch shift. There was a small mishap with my order, but she handled it swiftly and graciously. Her attentiveness and willingness to make things right really impressed me, and she ensured that my meal ended on a positive note. I highly recommend Firebird Wood Grill for both the delicious food and top-notch service!

Love this place. Lots of fresh food, great variety and plenty of options regardless of dietary preferences.

They have lots of gluten-free options, which I loved! I make it a point to go eat here when I’m in the area.

Dietary restrictions: They have a variety of dishes, regardless of dietary restrictions. You should be able to find something. I have to eat gluten-free and they have lots of options for that.

Parking: It’s a small parking lot, but it is free.

Amazing experience. Very nice staff. Guy taking order helped us figure out what we wanted. Veggie options were amazing! Spicy potatoes, carrots, Brussel sprouts and street corn were all amazing! They have me looking to see if we have these in other states!

Been coming here almost since they opened. Entire family loves it.

Parking is kind of tight, but the service and food is consistently good.

I'm always confused as to if they prefer you to order at the line or do the Kiosk. I like they do both, but maybe that's just a generational divide thing?

Parking: It's a very small lot (24 spaces) shared by 4-5 businesses. Luckily, most are closed during dinner time. It is pretty cramped on space. Learn to back in, and have a small vehicle, and you'll be glad you did.
