Food was good, but be forewarned: Firebirds does NOT produce a gluten free LUNCH menu - they provide only a standard dinner menu. Not a big deal, you might think, except that if you compare the items from the GF menu, to a typical LUNCH menu there are HUGE discrepancies. For example: the GF menu offers "Baby Back Ribs Java BBQ Sauce, steak fries, cider slaw 24.25" now, this SAME item is on the standard NON gf LUNCH menu : "Baby Back Ribs Java BBQ Sauce, steak fries, cider slaw 13.25" No notation about different portion sizes, sec. SAME DESCRIPTION, word for word. The GF menu offers sirloins, too, but the NON gf menu offers multiple size options ( 7 oz, 9 oz, etc) and as expected, those are lower in price. After bringing it to the attention of the management at this location I as able to order the smaller lunch portion sirloin GF, for the same price as the lunch portion on the standard menu. I was glad, but how many diners have paid a significant amount MORE just because they have celiac and ordered off a standard GF menu at lunch time? (a side note: I am also a bit concerned that the steak fries are on the GF menu with the ribs, but are NOT on the list of sides available? Are the GF or not????) SO, dine here - I ended up with a nice meal and no evidence of being "glutened", but make sure if you are there for lunch, you compare and get the right price. Just be vigilant.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
