Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

A go to restaurant for me! GF menu, and knowledge servers. The kitchen staff will work with other dietary needs as well. Website has a very good allergen tool as well. Not a dedicated gf kitchen but have eaten here without problem many times.

We are here for lunch. Server was very nice and knowledgeable. Ordered a salad. Very filling and the drinks were good too.

Gluten-free menu available upon request. Shared kitchen space but a nice size menu with multiple entrees and salads as well as kids options. Soups are only gluten-free on Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays which was kind of disappointing but I really appreciate the large menu selection and the good attitude of the staff to accommodate.

Has GF menu. Be sure to ask server. http://west-des-moines.firebirdsrestaurants.com/menus/gluten-free/

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable about gluten free issues, including cross contamination. Both times the manager or chef took care of me. I got the burger w/o a bun and with veggie medley. Delicious and I didn’t get sick!

Delicious food and great experience twice. GF options are clearly marked and servers are helpful in navigating dairy and soy free options as well. Manager delivered my food both times and recited my allergies to confirm it was prepared properly.

The first time I went it was really great. The second time I went they brought me out my chicken on a sandwich I had to send it back so they made me more but brought it out with fries which are also not gluten free.

Not only were we seated 1 hour past our reservation time, our food then took 45 minutes...they glutened me. Barely made it back to hotel. I had a baked potato and salad that was marked gf on menu.

Celiac friendly?

Absolutely perfect experience. Aaron, the manager, was extremely helpful and informative on what was available and what could be changed. He took time and care for my needs and was very very nice in a world that feels very cold. Very great experience and can’t wait to go back!

first time eating here. They had a decent amount of gluten free dishes on the Menu. I ordered the ribeye steak and double stuffed bake potato and did not get sick. The steak was dry and tough. Expected more from a $32 ribeye but at least I didn’t get ill

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free menu and staff. Have never had a problem. I’m Celiac.

Went for happy hour and was able to be accommodated because of my allergy. Speak to a manager and they will take care of you.

I am Celiac. Very attentive waitstaff, nice GF menu, impressive in that care was given to point out what I could eat if altered from an item on menu. Specially I inquired about having tuna on my salad. It was beautifully prepared delicious and I did not get sick. Owners well aware of food allergies. I will return!

Celiac friendly?

Always a great meal, and never been sick.

Staff was very helpful and cognizant of my nit allergy and celiac. I ordered items listed as gluten free friendly on the menu without issue and it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Steak, mashed potatoes, spinach salad.

Celiac friendly?

Stopped today after some shopping thanks to my “Find Me Gluten Free” app. Service was excellent with a very friendly staff. Food was delicious and served in a most reasonable amount of time. This is a 5 star for sure and will stop again when we are back in the area.

Food was delicious!! Items that were either GF or could be made GF were marked on the menu. Our server was knowledgeable and, for the couple questions she couldn't answer, made sure to ask the manager. After placing my order, she notified the manager who confirmed my order with the kitchen staff and came out to confirm with me that my meal would be prepared in a separate area and or with cleaned/sanitized utensils and pots/pans. +24hours later and I feel fine! Will definitely be returning.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten sensitive options indicated by symbol on regular menu. My entree was brought to the table by the Manager. I enjoyed the chicken pineapple skewers and vegetables. Best of all, I had no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waitress was new and asked a lot of good questions. The manager and staff ensured all kitchen staff was aware and my meal was absolutely amazing! They have many options and they looked at all ingredients on salad dressing and BBQ sauce. We will be back!

I must say that I felt like this place took my food sensitivities more seriously than any other place that I have been. Was trying to avoid gluten, dairy and some other things as well and they made sure that I was able to get steak and veggies that were safe. Now I will say that I was given take out and even though I requested specifically a gluten-free meal, there was bread in the bag oh, so I guess I need to take a star off for that. Dine in and you'll be safer. This will be an expensive splurge meal though, but DELICIOUS.

Their menu is very clearly labeled with many gluten free options and the staff were very knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waitperson was knowledgeable about gf options. Clearly marked menu. Great steaks. Plenty of gf options

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We eat here all of the time and we are extremely sensitive!!! They have amazing salads, steaks, ribs, etc!

Not a very large gluten free menu but it’s ok for some variety

Extensive options already noted on the menu. The manager brought my food and made a point to give the “gluten allergy” plate out first. Little gestures like that go a long way!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The pineapple chicken was amazing and safe!

Celiac friendly?

No

The food I ate tasted good and they appeared very accommodating. They told me which items I could not eat from the appetizers my companions ordered. I ate some of the deviled eggs which they said were handled for allergy and then had a spinach salad with no dressing. I added grilled salmon and used vinegar and oil as my dressing. They said all the right things and I thought I would be ok, but about 1 hour after my meal I was sick. Thankfully, it only lasted a couple of hours. I would hesitate to try this location again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a good meal of grilled chicken shish kabob and garlic mashed potatoes. Very tasty.

Celiac friendly?

No

Kitchen staff had trouble with simple requests like how I requested my steak cooked and what I ordered on my baked potato (got both wrong). Server was very casual about my gf requests. Not at all confident in their handling of my meal. Got sick, symptoms started ~hour after meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

May 22, 2019. Ate here for lunch. Excellent GF menu choices and kitchen/servers were well trained. Interestingly, our server also had Celiac's disease. She was a great resource for what was safe to eat. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food and service! The menu is clearly marked for gluten free selections. The server was knowledgeable about celiac needs. The food was DELICIOUS. We will stop there anytime we are in the area.

Waitstaff was really attentive, gluten free was clearly marked on their menu, and the food was delicious (I didn't know a baked potato could taste any better than any other baked potato but theirs was somehow greater than any other I've had. It was magic?).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was great. They handled everything just fine. I'd much rather have gone there for dinner though as their lunch-like options were limited and I didn't have time for a big meal.

Staff was knowledgeable. Menu items are marked gluten free and a nice selection. The manager brought out my food. I’ve never had issues. One of my favorite places to eat. I just wish they had gluten free bread and a good dessert option. I now stop at sublime cupcakes which is close by and grab a cupcake to bring in with me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went here for dinner with my team. I was so thrilled to find gluten free items in their menu. The waitress was very understanding. I had no issues at all! I will be back!

Separate menu with a lot of options. Had a blt salad with shrimp. Served by the manager who confirmed it was prepared gf. Server was not as knowledgeable... asked if I’d like bread after ordering gf and then stopped coming by.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have an extensive GF menu and the food was very good. Our waiter was knowledgeable about GF prep and told me that the kitchen staff change gloves when prepping a GF meal. It’s been 24 hours and I haven’t had any cross contamination symptoms, so I guess I love this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable and took great care to ensure GF. Have been there several times and it’s always a good experience

Celiac friendly?

I ordered from the GF menu. I was sick after I left.

Most staff very knowledgeable, as is management. They have careful protocol for preparation and the cook/chef brings g.f. dishes out separately. Excellent food with excellent customer service.
