Firebirds Wood Fired Grill brings wood-fired steaks, seafood and handcrafted cocktails to the West 135th Street corridor in south Overland Park. Part of a polished-casual chain founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2000, it draws Johnson County couples, business diners and celebration parties who want a steakhouse-style meal without downtown Kansas City prices.
The dining room channels a Rocky Mountain lodge with stacked stone, warm wood, leather booths and an open kitchen where the grill flares in full view. Hand-cut filets, ribeyes and New York strips anchor the menu. Wood-grilled salmon, crab-topped dishes and seasonal fish round out the seafood side. Regulars start with the lobster spinach queso and finish with the towering chocolate cake. The bar is known for its Double Black Diamond martini, made with pineapple-infused vodka, and it also pours a broad wine list and zero-proof mocktails (Firebirds).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Friday and Saturday evenings fill quickly, especially around holidays, graduations and Valentine’s Day. Book ahead through OpenTable or the restaurant’s website, and mention any celebration when you reserve. For a quieter visit, go for a weekday lunch or an early dinner before 6 p.m. The bar’s happy hour is a lower-cost way to sample cocktails and appetizers. Parking is free in the surrounding lot. Nearby shopping centers along 135th Street, including Prairiefire to the east, make it easy to pair dinner with an evening out. Confirm current hours on the locations page before you go.
