Restaurants near Quality Inn Thornburg

Firebirds is our favorite restaurant in Fredericksburg. It is consistently excellent in all areas: food, service, value. Husband had Ribeye & his usual BLT salad. Steak cooked exactly as requested, medium rare. Salad was bacon & tomatoes in every bite. I had the Strawberry Shrimp salad which was delicious as usual. Loaded with strawberries, jumbo grilled shrimp, feta & pecans! Perfect amount of balsamic vinaigrette. We both had the seasonal special dessert, Bananas Foster Bread Pudding. We should have shared, although, we were able to stuff all the pudding, bananas, pecans, ice cream & caramel down. We were Seated immediately, even though we were 15 minutes earlier than our reservation. We were served by Kiley, whom we requested when reserving. She is the perfect server. Very personable and very attentive. She knows exactly when to appear. Unfortunately, our favorite server, Kiley is transferring to Maryland in February. However, I’m sure we will be served, almost as well, by one of the many other servers. Yes, we will be back next month to our favorite Firebirds in Fredericksburg.

The overall experience was quite excellent, but my mother had an issue with the spice level of her food. I can understand that the broccolini was a bit too spicy, but I thought the steak was perfect, and she thought it was too hot. There’s no accounting for taste, I suppose.

Always the best! Tomahawk dinner for two. Can't go wrong!

If you want authentic Italian food in downtown Fredericksburg this is the place to go. Every month there is a different region that is highlighted for the specials and there are other specials every night as well. I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant...the food, the cocktails, appetizers, ambience...service you name it, it's fantastic. I do recommend getting a reservation if you can because they tend to get busy on the weekends. That's what happens when you're popular :-)

Nice ambiance with a wide selection of items. Server was friendly and efficient.
