Firebird Tavern - Troy

Love this place! Great indoor and outdoor seating. Fun staff. So many awesome events including karaoke and weekend brunch. Excellent food and drinks. My #1 place to hang out!

Walked in during lunchtime on a weekday to an almost empty sitting. The ambiance and the vibe is pretty cool. Our bartender/server was really attentive . She customized most of our drinks per our requests and the drinks turned out awesome.The only thing that didn't work for me was the food. The appetizers options were very few . We ordered the baked cheese dip and the wings which were both okay-ish, wings being sweeter than we expected.I found the garlic chicken pizza also to be a bit salty for my taste.

My husband and I stopped in after we got out of work early and made it in time for happy hour/dinner. It was definitely as nice as the pictures. It was a nice upscale vibe but still casual. I start with the poutine fries, a nice shoestring French fry, the gravy had good flavor but it was more shredded cheese than cheese curds also the could've been a little hotter. My husband ordered a cup of the tomato basil soup. It creamy and had excellent flavor and tasted like it was made from scratch. It did take awhile for the pizza to come out so it would've been nice if our waitress had just mentioned it. Just something that would've been a nice touch. The pizza was very good though, a nice pillowy crust and very cheesy. It could've used a little extra artichoke and maybe a little red pepper flakes for a touch of spice. We really enjoyed everything and will be back to try more things because there is as a lot of great options on the menu.

Came here on Thursday, 5 days before Christmas with 10 neighbors for a get together. Service was surprisingly attentive and good, considering our waiter with long hair, not sure if his name, took very good care of us.The artichoke dip was very good, the pretzel was as expected and the poutine fries were very good as well. Had the corned beef sandwich with fries for dinner, it was more like a Reuben, good but I would have expected more meat for the price.The ambience was great. Nicely new updated interior, decorated for Christmas. They play a loud modern almost club music which is cool.They have trivia night which we talked about going back.Not sure how soon I'll be back with so many choices in the area, but would be good for a date night.

Visited on a snowy Saturday evening, really enjoyed the cozy setting, games were on tv, fun atmosphere. They have a separate area called the lodge with a fireplace and couches , very fun vibe. Great smash burgers and giant pretzel appetizer. Service was good, we were checked on regularly to make sure we had what we needed.

Great vegetarian options. My favorite is the vegetarian pizza, lovely olives and artichokes! Nice selection of beers and whiskeys. Plenty of seating, including an outdoor area that is heated.

Arrived at 5:30 with a party of four. They had a rather large party that was consuming a lot of the restaurant. We were told it was going to be a 30-45 minute wait which we were willing to wait. We ended up getting seated much sooner as they shuffled some reserved tables around. Cocktails Vesper - this was gross. Tasted like drinking perfumeCollins - This was good but not a strong pour. Barbie or Ken was wasn't chilled enough. As we added ice to it to chill it. AppsPoutine was ordered and it came out cold. We had to send it back. The refire came out visibly hot. Cheese app came out hot to start, the cheese was steaming. The bread was not evenly toasted nor was it evenly sliced. MainsDiner Burger - burger was on the small size. Five Guys is a better burger than this. Love the cut of the fries but they were not that plentiful and they had zero salt. Buffalo Chicken Wrap - this was more of a shredded chicken which was unique. Chicken pot pie - this was more of a chicken a La king. As it was a chicken stew into a puff pastry. Pizza - garlic chicken. This was ordered as they were out of the artichoke pizza. This was the best looking meal of the table. Was really hoping to like this place but it underperformed.

Love the chill atmosphere, love music and good vibes of this place. Little different than their Detroit location but great for friends or family. The garlic white pizza is so good love coming here for trivia as well!

Surprised to see that when we walked in around 7pm on a Saturday that there was plenty of seating available. We were told there was a brand new cocktail menu so our group tried a few things. Unfortunately I don't think any of us particularly enjoyed them. I had the amaretto sour which was too sweet. The Paloma is pre mixed and had a metallic taste to it. Moving onto the food, we found everything to be good but very salty. For appetizers we had the poutine and baked cheese. We enjoyed both but nothing to write home about. I tried the fish tacos with a side of Mexican corn. It was pretty good but I've definitely had better. Nothing really stood out but the menu does have a nice variety and it was nice to get seated quickly on a Saturday.

Positive experience overall. Friday night, was seated right away. Server came over relatively quick and was friendly throughout. I liked seeing how the staff seemed to help each other out and not just stick to their own job. We had pretzel app, Firebird sandwich, and Mac and cheese. Pretzel was decent but cheese wasn't so great, and I think others in area have better pretzels. The Firebird sandwich was really good - well seasoned, crispy bun, etc. the Mac and cheese was good, nothing to get on excited over. I would go back.Only reason for the 4 stars was a few small things: 1) was disappointed they didn't have more vegetarian entrees as I could see some easy changes to their food to offer vegetarian version, 2) slightly disappointed with pretzel, 3) waitress was prompt at start but then disappeared mid-meal (though others stepped in to help).
