The Bottom Line
Lunch entrees range from about $8 to $12, and dinner from about $13 to $24. A soft drink is small, and costs two bucks--but they refill often. Appetizers start at around $6, and desserts are in the $5 to $6 range.

Guide Review - Firebirds Wood Fired Grill
We've been to Firebirds for lunch twice now, and they'll certainly be seeing us again. We've tried the French Dip ($10), the Meatloaf ($10), the Smokehouse Burger ($9), the Steak Sandwich ($10) and the Artichoke Pizza ($9). We enjoyed them all! Everything at Firebirds tastes fresh and the slaw is great. Portions are plentiful. At first, I was a bit put off by a $9 burger. With a Coke, tax and tip, that makes it a bit pricey for a lunch stop during a work day if you aren't on an expense account. But then I went somewhere that charged $7.50 for a little dry burger on a semi-stale bun, with cole slaw out of the can, and my appreciation for Firebirds was only enhanced!
So far, we've tried two appetizers: crab cakes ($9) and onion rings ($6). You can certainly get my one one appetizer and share at Firebirds Rocky Mountain Grill. I'm picky about my crab cakes, and these were great. I enjoy the bed of tortilla slaw that they are served on almost as much as the crab cakes themselves. The onion rings are light and crispy. We shouldn't eat fried foods, but these are too good.
The Apple Crisp ($5.50) has been our only dessert venture at Firebirds. What a treat! Hot apple slices with a fresh puff pastry and vanilla ice cream. Again, two can share.
We're looking forward to our next visit.
