    I’ve been here countless times and Firebirds has always been a favorite but this is the first time I left underwhelmed. Ordered the pineapple paradise drink and it was mostly pulp from pineapple and cucumber/mint, didn’t taste tequila at all. Both my friend and I got the grilled tenderloin salad which I’ve had many times before. Usually excellent and filling, this time each of our salads had only had 3 skinny strips of steak, maybe 2 ounces at most, at least half the portion in the past, yet the price is higher. Hard to justify spending $29 for a salad with a few bites of steak thrown on top. Feels like the quality is going down which is a bummer.

    Did the 10 ounce prime rib special with salad and side choices. It was good value for the $39.85 each. We were on a tight timeline and the server did an outstanding job meeting our needs.

    Salad are much too big for one person to consume Dressing should either be on the side or on top Two out of the four of us ordered the same salad and definitely could have shared Maybe make it smaller and lower the price Salmon platter was excellent!

    Our server, Kyle, was terrific. Tie in our party had food allergies and he and the manager made sure all the checks were in place to ensure we had a safe experience. If you have Celiac Disease or a peanut allergy, this is definitely a great place to go!

FAQs

Midweek (Tuesday–Thursday) is often the best choice for a quieter, more relaxed experience. If you want a lively scene, Friday and Saturday nights deliver the busiest energy. Make a reservation for popular weekend evenings and holidays.

Yes, guests report easy access (no steps in some areas), booths, private rooms and staff who accommodate families. The restaurant has hosted birthdays and larger family gatherings, and servers often help with requests like storing desserts or arranging a private room. If you need specific accessibility features or family seating, call ahead so staff can prepare.

Overall it’s popular for date nights and celebrations when you want an elevated yet approachable steakhouse feel.

Smart casual. Guests typically dress nicely for date nights and celebrations, but the overall vibe is relaxed and approachable, polished casual attire is appropriate.

Portions are generally generous, guests frequently mention large salads, hearty entrees and leftovers to take home. The three‑course special is described as good value, and many diners say steaks and sides are filling. If you want to share, appetizers plus an entrée or the three‑course deal are common options.

Yes, Firebirds Wilmington is a popular choice for date night thanks to wood‑fired steaks, seafood, craft cocktails and a warm, casual‑elegant vibe. Many guests praise the attentive service and special touches for anniversaries and birthdays.
