Ordered filet and baked potato. Options were marked on the menu. Server was knowledgeable and said he would mark allergy in the computer. My food was brought separately from my friends who were with me. I don’t know if that was due to allergy or not. No sickness and sensitive celiac.
Menu items are marked with a GF icon that indicated the dish “may be ordered gluten free.” Only one of the two drink menus included the GF symbols. I ordered a blackberry margarita and asked our server to confirm with the bar that it was in fact gluten free. When he brought our drinks out he did not follow up at all. Being that I was out with my bf’s family, didn’t want to make a scene, and knew the drink should be GF naturally, I decided to let it go.
For dinner I ordered the striped bass, served with a key lime butter sauce, over a rice pilaf and asparagus. This was marked with the GF symbol, and I reiterated to our server that I had celiac, and said “I see this is marked with the ‘may be’ GF symbol — can you just confirm that it will be?” His response was “oh yes they take gluten free very seriously, they will change their gloves.” Unclear whether it was the drink, food or both, but by the time we left the restaurant I was already feeling sick and continued to feel it through the night.
Personally would not feel safe eating here again, which is a shame as I know this is the family’s favorite restaurant to eat at.

We enjoyed delicious GF ribs and two slices of GF chocolate cake the other night and it was all delicious. The ribs did not have a carolina style sauce on them (as I prefer) but were good nevertheless. The cake was very rich and two slices is plenty for four people. I picked up my food from the bar in quality serving trays and no one got sick. Very happy and will go again.
The ribs and mashed potatoes are very good and GF. Not much else to pick from though.
I both work and eat at Firebirds. They will provide a gluten free menu, mark your order as "allergy" and take every precaution to avoid cross contamination. Drinks can be prepared with gluten free vodka and they have gluten free beer. End your meal with gluten free chocolate cake!! The food is amazing!!

Such a wonderful surprise that my server understood gluten and dairy allergies and provided the BEST service, offering substitutes, double checking and ensuring that my food was safe. Thank you so much!
Had a great experience! Quite a few options on the menu which is great. Our server was wonderful and the manager watched my order get made to make sure it was made correctly.
I enjoyed the food and service. I have gotten steak and baked potatoes here a few times and felt fine after.
Went for a double date night with friends and had a great time. The vodka lemonade martini was great and I had the three course dinner with the BLT salad, steak, and dessert. I upgraded to the 7oz filet for $10 which I thought was a good value. My husband ordered the prime rib and it was huge and perfectly cooked. I’m GF and I found the menu to be well signed with many options, and our server was knowledgeable. My only ask is a GF bread option to start.
This place has gluten free options listed on the menu. The server confirms with you when they bring the food out that the kitchen followed “allergy protocols”.
The GF options are somewhat limited, but I’ve gotten the salads and the ribs before and it all tastes good.
