Firewood Grill

Was here a couple days ago and it was dead. They need to make a soft opening and then reinvent. I'm writing this review because we have no other place in Livingston County that had fresh made, peanut oil fried blanched French fries. I will pay, and I know a lot of others who would too. Anyway, it was a good meal, I got the special, and we were with friends.

Went to the Under New Management Firewood Bar & Grill on Grand River in Howell, Mi. FANTASTIC!!! The food was out of this world! I have a food allergy and the Chef (Tom) came out of the kitchen and went over the whole menu with me! Who does that?! Chef Tom does. It was wonderful to have Calamari that was wonderfully tender and delicious! For dinner I had Chicken Picatta and husband had Stuffed Cabbage, both were out of this world! Give the new place a try! You won't be sorry.

A cute spot if you're in the area. Friendly service and helpful with questions we had on the menu. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer. The lasagna is a big portion and very good as well. My Cobb salad was delicious.

We really love this place. I think they opened last year and we were there the first time on a day I think they were getting ready to close for the evening. Back then they had great service and great food. This time we were hungry for a good salad but we had the "ho hums" where we know exactly how every salad in town tastes and we wanted something different. We sat outside. We had great service and the food was delicious! The lamb and vegetable soup was terrific. (Something different) And the Fireside salad was really tasty also, and fresh!We'll definitely be back!

Here is hoping it was just an off night. Been in before and it was quite good. Unfortunately I suggested this place for dinner with 4 of my friends. The service was really slow, but pleasant . 3 of the six meals were awful. I ordered the salmon which was over cooked and so was another. Each came with mashed potatoes which were warm at best, maybe yesterday's. All in all not a good choice. My bill for myself and wife with tip was $90. Hope they do better then this or they won't last

We have never had a bad meal there. It's always fresh and cooked properly. The wait staff is great too. I love the steak skewers there. The ambiance is very nice there too.

Not much good today. Manager was not helpful. Food ok. Help barely ok. Money spent better elsewhere. :(

I don't understand the negative reviews. I moved to Michigan 18 months ago from the San Francisco Bay Area, a foodie area with tons of good, great and fine dining. Everything I've had here has been great. I'd go as far as to say Firewood Grill is the best kept secret in Howell. A highly under-rated restaurant.We've got Brighton Bar & Grill to the East, Tavern 109 to the West and Firewood Grill smack-dab in the middle. I love it. Great food, service and with a great bartender. Shanna's the best!

Food and service were great, but unfortunately the cocktail prices were shockingly high - $9 for a captain and diet during happy hour...

Service? Bad,bad,and bad. Went for dinner last night (Thursday)about 6:00. Seated right away,waited and waited probably 15 minutes still no one greeted us. Finally asked a busgirl for a server. She went to the bar and finally someone came over, took drink orders,left .......10minutes later she's back to say they are out of the wine I ordered. I chose another and off she went. Brought me my wine and stated they had a wedding party that just placed their food orders so she couldn't take our orders for a while. Noticed other tables that came after us giving orders to other servers.....finished my wine and we left. Used to really like this place ,too bad. Don't know if we'll be back. Noticed changes to the menu also,a couple of my favorites are gone. Went to Corattis and had a great meal!
