About Us

There's a reason Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at North Hills has earned 4.4 stars across more than 3,000 Raleigh reviews: the kitchen doesn't cut corners. Every steak, every fillet, every chop passes over a live wood-fired grill, picking up smoke and char that a gas flame simply cannot replicate. The result lands on your table with a crust that crackles and an interior that stays exactly the temperature you asked for.

The dining room on Lassiter at North Hills Ave strikes a balance that's harder to pull off than it looks: warm enough for a birthday celebration that spills past the expected headcount, polished enough for a client dinner that needs to impress. Guests regularly note that the hostess team knows the menu cold and steers newcomers toward the right dish rather than the most expensive one.

From a weekday lunch starting at 11 AM to a Friday night that runs until 11, Firebirds fits the Raleigh schedule rather than forcing you to rearrange it. Weekend brunch doors open at 10 AM on Saturday and Sunday, which means the wood-fired kitchen is warming up before most of the city has finished its coffee.

What We Offer

The menu reads like a confident edit rather than an exhaustive list. Aged ribeyes anchor the steak section, dry-aged for depth and finished over hardwood for that signature bark. The seafood side moves just as seriously, with fresh catches prepared simply enough to let the quality speak. The burger, stacked and served with steak fries, has its own loyal following among regulars who know exactly what they're ordering before they sit down.

Beyond the main plates, Firebirds handles private dining and large-party events with the kind of flexibility that earns repeat business. Management has a documented track record of stretching to accommodate groups that grow beyond their original reservation, coordinating on the fly so the celebration stays on track. Happy hour, seasonal cocktails, and a curated wine list round out the experience for guests who want to settle in rather than rush out.

"Awesome experience. Nice ambiance. Seated immediately. Our hostess was very sweet and knowledgeable of the menu and gave us great suggestions on things to try. I had the burger and steak fries, plus the mushrooms and onions from the brunch menu. My daughter had the steak pasta, and my mom had the meatloaf with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Each meal was delicious. We will definitely patronize this location again."

"I’ve been to this Firebirds several times before, and usually the food and experience are great. Unfortunately, this visit was a bit disappointing. I ordered the aged ribeye, and it just wasn’t what I expected. The steak came out warm at best — the butter on top wasn’t melted, and my baked potato was cold inside with the cheese not even melted. When I sent it back, the reheating seemed to make the steak worse, which was really disappointing. On a positive note, the drinks were amazing, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect as always. I’ve even celebrated a birthday here before, so I know Firebirds can do better. Hopefully next time the food matches the great service and vibe they’re known for."

"We went to a 17 year old birthday gathering. To his surprise he went well over the number of expected guests. He spoke with management and they met more accommodations to the best of their ability. They were very professional and served 👏🏾 with a spirit of excellence. It was my first visit, and I was so amazed. The FIREBIRD ROASTED CHICKEN is award winning to me. It looked great, but the taste was better....huge in flavor. It was so tender, juicy, and fresh. It will be hard for me to try anything else, but I will (in the future). It was GREAT!!! The mashed potatoes were creamy with a great garlic flavor. Broccoli was perfectly cooked. Others at our table, had the honey glazed chicken, 3 entree salmon and shrimp, and appetizer wings and baked potato as entree. The cesar salads were fresh and plentiful. The only disappointed was the wings, but it was because our preference is not fried foods. Our waitress expressed it would be smoked but then a quick splash fry. So it was tried but not preferred. The texture was too hard and dry for his palate. Nevertheless, he was offered the option of ordering something different, but he decided not to. The item was taken off if the menu. Thank you for understanding. Our waitress was Carla. O so courteous. A sweet and gentle spoken waitress. Patience truly is one of her virtues, and she knows that menu. YES! She was helpful in my meal choice. She hit it on target. We had an austic child with us. He was active but she never responded as though nothing was going on. We highly commend her service. That really made our evening grand. Hats off to all the waitresses and management for touching the heart of a young man whose desire was to unite friends and family for his special occasion. You did very well. My husband and I will return and share the greatness with others. K. Thompson"

"I wanted to go to Firebirds because I hadn't been in a while. The food was delicious but it wasn't as hot as I would have liked. I ordered the Mint Condition which is a Spirit-Free drink but very tart. I also ordered the Salmon with mixed vegetables and a loaded baked potato. The potato wasn't as hot, but the salmon and vegetables were very good. We also got the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and they were delicious 😋. My daughter ordered the same except she had shrimp. Her drink was the smoked pineapple water. My grandson had grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and fruit."

"We came in after a snowy storm for a birthday dinner and had such a lovely experience. Our server was incredibly sweet and patient (sadly didn’t get her name). The food was great, and I had requested a birthday desert with a candle then I was genuinely surprised when they brought out a birthday dessert with a candle—on the house! Didn’t think they would go above and beyond with my request and they did just that! Such a thoughtful gesture. This was my second time here and would definitely recommend."

Frequently Asked Questions

The restaurant is open Monday through Thursday 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Friday 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Saturday 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and Sunday 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The kitchen is open all seven days.

Yes. The team is experienced with group dining and private events. Guests have noted that management works proactively to accommodate parties that grow beyond the original reservation, so it's worth calling ahead to discuss your specific needs.

What makes the grill 'wood fired' and why does it matter?

Firebirds uses a live hardwood fire rather than gas burners. The real wood imparts smoke, char, and a depth of flavor that a standard grill cannot produce. It also creates the high-heat sear that locks in juices and forms the crust that steak enthusiasts look for.

What are the signature dishes to try on a first visit?

Regulars and staff both point toward the aged ribeye and the house burger with steak fries as standouts. The hostess team is well-versed in the menu and happy to make specific suggestions based on your preferences.

Is Firebirds a good choice for a special occasion dinner?

Absolutely. The ambiance is polished but relaxed, making it suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, client dinners, and milestone celebrations. The private dining options and attentive service make it a go-to for Raleigh events.

The restaurant is at 4350 Lassiter at North Hills Ave, Suite 118, Raleigh, NC 27609, inside the North Hills mixed-use district. Parking is available in the surrounding North Hills complex.
