Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

Stopped in for lunch. Had a great experience just sitting at the bar.

Just a lil pricey nothing crazy but I've gotten similar stuff just as good for cheaper downtown still great though.

Firebirds is one of our favorite go-to places for a consistently great steak.

Have eaten at this Firebirds before and it was satisfactory...tonight the steak salad was inedible because of the very overcooked meat, after having ordered medium rare. Instead of making things right, I was credited $10 off the bill for an inedible meal that was around $25. I doubt I will return. The restaurant was not busy, so things have obviously deteriorated from when I had dined there before.

Solid American fare in a nice atmosphere with some creative twists on standard dishes. Great service, too. Definitely worth checking out…
Only missing a star because the lighting at night can be harsh at certain tables and you shouldn’t have to ask not to be set down at an interrogation table lol
Update: still amazing food but lately have been sitting at the bar which is a great option when they’re very busy and there is a wait for a table. The bar menu is really good and a great value.
Have not been at night since my original post so I cannot speak to if they have adjusted the lighting or not. The bar staff is top-notch. Love this place!

Our food was great. My wife had a grilled chicken salad and I had the half rack of barbecue ribs. Look forward to going there again on another future date night.

I usually love Firebirds but I ordered a 7 oz filet and it was awful. It looked like a scrape piece left over. It was very fatty and tiny. I was only able to get a couple of good bites. It's was not a true filet and a good cut of meat. My son ordered a 9 oz filet and his look great. Big difference between his steak and mine. I was very disappointed and will think twice about going back. My son's girlfriend's steak was over cooked. No one came around to ask how our steaks were. Too much money for disappointing food.

I made reservations for a business dinner with a client in Knoxville. I want to say I couldn't be more impressed with the management, to the wait staff, to the food! The mgr. called me ahead of time to understand the occasion & confirm the reservations. He met me @ the door w/ a firm handshake & nice smile, welcoming myself & my business customer. He proceeded to check us on 2-3 times throughout the evening. The waitress was knowledgeable, polite & aware of conversations at the table - to not interrupt. She was spot on & I couldn't have asked for better service. Everyone - all 10 of us ordered something different & everyone was talking about how good their food was, along w/ the few drinks from the bar. I'll be back again!

Service was good, but the food does not come close to its price. We had a $25 salad with grilled chicken and a $36 - 7 oz filet m/r . The steak was slightly overcooked and the cut itself lacked the quality one would expect for the price. Very disappointing for an advertised “steak” house. Dirty bird martini lacking the blue cheese olives as advertised in the menu. The lobster and spinach queso appetizer was the highlight of the meal.

We celebrated our 40th anniversary, the service was excellent our waiter did a fantastic job, our food was cooked the way we like it and was very flavorful. The restaurant owner stopped by our table to ask how everything was and he gabbled with us to get to know us and made us feel welcome. The staff made an anniversary card and everyone signed their name and they gave us a dessert to go. We will definitely make a return trip when we are in the area again.

The service was amazing and the food was delicious from appetizers to dessert! The manager was extremely kind and personable. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants good food in Knoxville!

This restaurant has become our family's go-to spot for celebrations! We especially love the three-course meals. Our server was great, our dinners were just right, and we had a great time!

Our server was great! Haley W. Such a great host. Mark the manager delivered our food since we had an allergy. He was so nice. Thanks so much. Dr. Chris and Emily

The waitress was a bit slow and they were out of the wine we wanted to order, but overall it was a great meal and experience!

This was our first time here. The staff was awesome. The atmosphere welcoming and the meal was perfect. We'll definitely be back
