Wood fire steakhouse coming to Austin Landing

A North Carolina-based wood fire steakhouse chain restaurant will be the newest addition to the Austin Landing development, the company announced Wednesday.

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is slated to open in a 6,800 square-foot facility in the fall. Construction is expected to begin in March.

"I absolutely think this will be a home run for the region," developer RG Properties President Randy Gunlock said in announcing the addition. "Firebirds is exactly the kind of restaurant this area is looking for, and I cannot wait to see it flourish in this market."

Firebirds is known for its hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, chicken and rib entrees seared over hickory, oak or pecan wood. They currently have 29 locations across the U.S. including one in Niles, Ohio.

Vice President of Marketing for the chain, Stephen Loftis, said the Cincinnati-Dayton corridor has been on the company's radar for a while and the Austin Landing location seemed like a perfect fit.

Loftis said the new location is expected to create 85 to 100 new jobs. The restaurant will seat about 230 and feature an outdoor patio with a fireplace.
