I really try to give restaurants extra consideration in these COVID times since it is difficult to find help, In the case of Firebirds, I've previously eaten at locations in other states and always had an excellent experience. I've tried Firebirds in Lee's Summit 3 times now and it's gotten progressively worse each time in their relatively short existence at the Streets of West Pryor. Hopefully they will get their act together before all their customers give up on them. My visits have included both bar and dining room. Every time alcoholic drinks are served VERY SLOWLY -- even at the bar. Water glasses go unfilled. Food is mediocre (I've had cold cilantro chicken, a rare hamburger and now raw prime rib.) I've had to ask repeatedly for condiments when getting the hamburger. I've been served the wrong dish as well, leading to an overcharge on the bill that the server said could not be fixed. After summoning the manager it was resolved quickly. Perhaps a change in management is needed or at least better training for staff? I wish them luck, but I will not be back at this location to give them a 4th opportunity.

We visited Lee's Summit's newest restaurant, Firebird's Wood Fired Grill, recently and went during their happy hour. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and had a lively atmosphere. Tables were socially distanced allowing customers to feel comfortable when removing masks. Servers were all wearing masks. Our server, Shannon, was very nice and very patient with us on our first visit. She explained the menu, described drinks and menu items, and pointed out the layout of the restaurant. Our happy hour drinks were good; not great. Typical well drinks. My husband ordered a Manhattan and the serving was slightly over half of the glass. We had two of their happy hour appetizers. The Fired Up Shrimp and the Grilled Tenderloin Medallions. Both were very good. They also offer you bread. It was served warm and with butter but I didn't think it was worth the calories. Very little taste. Their happy hour begins at 4 pm. Several of our other favorite happy hour spots in Lee's Summit begin at 3 or 3:30 pm.

I wanted this place to be terrific. It is a very lovely high end restaurant and I will certainly go back and give it a try again. My first lunch there consisted of a Lobster Cueso Dip, a chicken sandwich, and a Cesar Salad. The dip was quite delicious. The Cesar salad was generous in size, fresh and crisp, but the dressing was truly lacking in flavor. My problem was the chicken sandwich. “SMOKEHOUSE CHICKEN,”. (Java BBQ sauce, applewood-smoked bacon, shredded cheddar, red onion, brioche bun). Clearly, it would have been delicious if it wasn’t cooked to death to the point it had a strong burnt flavor! Yuck If we were not out with friends I would have sent it back! I should have!

I’ve been raving about this restaurant. While the prices are higher than similar restaurants in the area, the food was delicious and the service was amazing. Today’s food was still delicious but the service quality tanked or today was a really off day. My server wasn’t bad if I’d been at a Denny’s or similar place but for $45 meal before tax- burgers and fries for each of us, no alcohol, an appetizer and only one soft drink, it was lax and lazy. Several large tables nearby cleared out shortly after we arrived and the tables were still not cleaned by the time I left. In fact, the server used one of the tables as a bus station to hold dirty plates from another table. Before when we’ve been there, other servers recognized us and were cordial. Today, each server minded his own tables and nothing more. My tea was not kept filled like usually happens. No smiles, no friendliness among the wait staff. I didn’t recognize the so-called manager so I may have this wrong but I think she’s either new or inexperienced. They usually hover and seem to be everywhere in the restaurant. I saw the bartender bring over a drink, leaving the bar untended. Their manager walked out of the office once, past one of the dirty tables and spoke to a server. She walked to another room (past four more dirty tables) and then went back to the office. Never saw her again. If the initial start-up staff has moved on to their next restaurant and we are left with this kind of uncaring, mediocre service, it won’t stay a favorite for long.

The food tasted great, so that is why I gave it 2 stars. I made a 8:30 pm appt and arrived around 8:05 pm. I was told right away I wouldn't get seated until 8:30. I said okay. I decided to wait inside. About 5 minutes later I was told we have a table for you but don't think this will happen every time, we just happen to have an available table. I felt as if they could have told me that 5 minutes ago when I walked in, if they had even looked. After ordering everyone received their food except for me. My waiter said something happened to my food and it had to be recooked and the manager would be over. I was fine, I just started eating off my daughter's plate. Finally my food got to table about 10 minutes after everyone else's. I took a small bite, the chicken was raw, so I sent food back intact, even with raw bite on plate. The manager finally came over. The first this she said was, "I cut the chicken open and it was not raw." I told her it was raw even though it looked cooked. There was no mention of a sorry your food came out late. By this time everyone was done eating and I had eaten off of several people's plate so I didn't want my plate anymore. I decided to give headquarters a call later. Someone at headquarters said they would send me a gift certificate, but more important that the general manager should be giving me a call. Overall very poor customer service at every level in this organization. I will not be back, the food was not that good.

We have had carryout from Firebirds three times and dined in once. Every time we were very pleased with the steaks (filet mignon) we ordered. They were tender and perfectly prepared. You have your choice of side and we have typically had a baked potato, which is also prepared perfectly. Our opinion is that the steaks were much better than cheaper places like Longhorn, and as good as more expensive places like Sullivan's. The service was excellent on both our dine in and carryout visits. We will definitely make this a place we regularly visit.

The reviews posted on here are not at all representative of our experience at this restaurant and we've eaten here numerous times. The food is really good and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. It's usually very busy, especially on the weekend or holidays, so it's best to make a reservation on Open Table. Their salmon is my favorite out of any restaurant's and the steamed vegetables are SO good! My husband loves their filet. Typically we have had excellent service, although there have been a couple of occasions where our server wasn't the best we've ever had. I don't understand why people who have an issue with their food don't say something and give them a chance to correct it. I guess they just want to be miserable and complain. We think this restaurant has been a great addition to Lee's Summit.

We ate at Firebirds in Lees Summit Mo earlier this evening (12-5-22) & had the mahi-mahi, corn & brocccoli. Actually for the 2nd time this week, we also had this last Friday for lunch & loved it, just an outstanding dish. Have tried quite a bit of the menu & everything's great. Highly recommend this restaurant & the servers are always great too.

Food, service and ambiance were all great. Hubby had the strip and I had the salmon. It was cooked perfectly and simply delicious. I highly recommend the brulee cheesecake if you have room for dessert. Kris, our server was outstanding. We will be back.

We both had wonderful salads and Caesar was a great waiter, bringing food promptly. We would definitely recommend the Lees Summit location and be sure to ask for Caesar. You will have a great experience.

This was supposed to be a second chance. The first time we went there was for my birthday in April, and the food was underwhelming and very overpriced. But since our daughter wanted a cheeseburger for dinner for her birthday last night, we thought we would give it another shot...that would prove to be a huge mistake. I called to order for curbside pickup. I went through the order with the girl on the line, told her we would like to get 2 adult hamburger meals and 2 kids hamburger meals. She asked me how I wanted the hamburgers cooked and I said medium...she then advised me that they usually cook the kids' burgers to well done, as they are fairly thin and small. So I said OK, then I may need to change my mind on one of them, as that may not be a big enough burger for my older daughter. So I asked if we could change that kids meal to an adult hamburger meal and she obliged. We then walked through the order again and things sounded fine. I went to pick up the order...when she brought it out and went back in, I thought that I'd better check the order to make sure it was right. I look in the bag and a kids hamburger meal and 2 adult hamburger meals are in there...we are missing one adult meal. So I call to tell her this. The girl comes back out and says we should have everything...I get out the bag and she looks in it saying, one of them has 2 burgers in it, then there's the kids meal, then there's the other adult meal...which makes no sense. I said no, there are only 3 total meals in here, I am missing one. So she said OK, I will tell them you need another adult meal, it could take another 10 minutes...I said that was fine. 10 minutes later she comes back out with the other meal and says I owe them $15. I was taken aback, as they had screwed up our order...I had verified the order with her twice on the phone, and then when the order was brought out it was wrong. So I had already wasted 20 minutes there, on my daughter's birthday, and it was getting late. She argued with me 2 more times about me owing another $15 so I said I needed to talk to a manager, as I was not going to pay for that meal when they screwed up my order. She goes inside...it takes another 10 minutes. I look at the door and I see her and the manager talking, which took another 5 minutes. Then the manager comes out the door...I get this weird vibe as I see her STALK over to my car, the meal in hand. She stops and stands at my car door, shooting me an angry look. I open the door and she quips, "What seems to be the problem here?" I was taken aback...I've never had a manager, at what is supposed to be a nice restaurant, speak to me this way. So I walked through what had happened...saying that I didn't feel like I should have to pay for that meal when they had screwed up our order and made me wait there another 20 minutes while our other food got cold and they tried to figure it out. Then she just went OFF on me. She said "Your behavior toward my carryout girl is unaccetable...she was in there crying...you are extremely rude!!" I tried to protest but then she shoots me another nasty look, thrusts the bag at me and yells "JUST TAKE THE BURGER!!" I could not believe how I had just been treated. Firebirds, with this kind of service, good luck surviving. Your food is not that great either, and is very overpriced. There are definitely several other places my family would have liked to go to get burgers last night, but I thought I would give you another chance. I was dead wrong to do that. Your restaurant needs to make a change to staff, and fast, or you are going to tank like the Titanic.

I wrote a review in Feb … was extremely happy with everything… we decided to try the dinner menu… twice now the prime rib on one occasion and the steak on another were brought out more on the cold side than the warm… I order my meat medium rare… the prime rib was perfect … except it was cold… when the manager asked us how our meal was I told her it was served barely warm… her response was…” you should have had it warmed up”and walked away…when you warm up prime rib it is cooked more… I asked for a to go box and fed it to my dogs…today the steak was rare … excellent flavor but barely warm… It took the thyme butter a long time to soften… it didn’t melt…husband’s steak was warmer… not hot… onion ring shareable was ok… my granddaughter had a cheeseburger… ordered medium… it was medium rare… fries were hot… although I remembered them being more hand cut…than processed…specialty drink was awesome… for over $100 for a party of 3 it just didn’t sit well…
