For a long time, I have received the birthday email awarding $$ off a lunch or dinner. My partner and I did lunch and the pulled pork paninis were superb in taste and had a tangy sweet taste. Also, we note the restaurant interior has been freshened with new furniture and other decor improvements. Thanks Owner Ryan German for a continuing value dining experience.

I ordered the shrimp and mahi with lemongrass sauce. In addition to the sauteed shrimp and mahi, the entree included shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, snap peas, edamame and bell peppers with a coconut lemongrass sauce served over rice. It was excellent!My wife had the jerk chicken pasta. Asparagus, mushrooms and sliced chicken were cooked in a Parmesan cream sauce served over bow tie pasta. It was very good.We recommend this place as a nice relaxing stop on your next trip to or from the Delaware beaches.

On the good side, the service was prompt and food was quite good. I particularly liked my roast beef. My wife, an oenophile, didnât have high expectations, but she ordered a second glass of their house red, something she rarely does in this sort of establishment.While I recognize it is a sports bar (even though there are only six TVs), the noise level was very high, coming not from fans but from patrons whose favorite means of communications seemed to be a yell.

Food & drinks were excellent as usual but the service was lacking. We had 2 servers for our group of 11 celebrating our friends nuptials and my husband had to ask 3 times for a cold glass for his beer. Not the typical service we normally have.Nancy,Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience at Firebirds. I was so glad to hear you all still enjoy our food and beverages but I was very disappointed to hear that your server was not attentive. Your feedback is invaluable to us so I will be sharing your experience with our management team.Thank you.
