Top Tags:

Austin's Woodfire Grille is located directly across from Heinen's in the heart of Brecksville. At Austin's, we've been cooking the old fashioned way since 1994. We start with the freshest ingredients we can find, delivered to our kitchen each day of the week. We make everything on our menu from scratch, every day. We grill over hardwood, not gas, the way that it was a long time ago. It may not be the fastest or least expensive way to do business, but for us, it is the only way. We want each meal you enjoy with us to be a memorable and delicious one; so we work hard preparing each dish to order, smoking ribs and brisket, filleting fresh fish, hand cutting steaks, preparing homemade soups daily and baking our fresh breads and desserts. It’s a difference you can taste and one we hope you will keep coming back for. At Austin's, everything we do, we do because our customers deserve it. We will always insist on a level of service and quality that helps us deserve you.

We have always had great food at Austins, but i was disappointed with the 3 bacon Brussel sprouts which were not very tasty and definitely the bacon was jarred and not fresh. The 3 potato wedges were so salty, I could not taste the Parmesan cheese or potatoes. The petite filet was excellent, as was the New Zealand wine I ordered. Key lime pie was delicious and big enough for the two of us to split.

Regular patron, love the wedge salad and french onion soup. Usually go during the week, so had not previously tried the prime rib. This visit was on a Friday, tried it and was outstanding, lived up to its billing. Would definitely get it again.

Unfortunately, everything seems to be deteriorating here - the food, the value, and definitely service. I don’t know if they are understaffed or if they have lost their attention to detail and their clientele. The fish specials were overcooked, the steaks undercooked, and the appetizers were paltry. We would have ordered another round of drinks if our server ever checked in on us. I am bummed. I liked having a nice steakhouse so close to home in Brecksville.

We had a great dinner last night. We ordered the Grouper special and the Baked Stuffed Shrimp. Kevin, our waiter recommended both of these and they were excellent. Then for dessert we had the Key Lime Pie. This was also very good. The restaurant was busy (Saturday night) but the way it is designed, the noise level was minimal. If you want a quiet dinner with excellent food, give this a try!

As always the server Michelle was fantastic. The food in general is good. My son had the orange roughy which was very good. My only complaint are the rice and broccoli that came as sides. The rice tasted like boxed rice a roni and the broccoli wasn’t seasoned at all. This isn’t the only restaurant that forgets that the sides should taste as good as the main protein. A little butter and salt go a long way.

Out of 4 steaks 1 was edible the cook couldn't figure out med rare by temperature or cooking time. Wait staff was even trying to get it before but line cook was like no needs more time based on temperature which caused it to be well done leather.

My wife and I were looking for a short notice anniversary dinner. Austin’s had the room so we went and it was amazing. The service was outstanding. The drinks were phenomenal. I am always a bit leery to eat steak at a restaurant. However this was not the case at Austin’s and the food was amazing. Cooked just how we ordered and fantastic. I can’t wait to go back.

Our absolute favorite restaurant and our absolute favorite servers. Cobb salad, chicken corn soup, Alfredo, steak tips, brisket, crème brûlée, all to die for. The honey barrel is also my go to cocktail (espresso martinis are amazing too!) As a local mom whose raising a big family of foodies I’d hate to think about how much of my salary goes to this place, but I don’t regret a dime! Our whole family always says we’ve never had a single bad bite of food here, and that’s coming from a picky family of 7 with multiple different tastes.

My husband and I love Austin’s Woodfire Grill in Brecksville Ohio. The service is wonderful and the food is even better. I had the petite filet with baked potato and coleslaw. My husband had the brisket with baked potato and coleslaw. Both meals were delicious. Kevin our server is always excellent. We would totally recommend Austin’s!

Excellent food and service at a nice, unrushed pace to allow us to enjoy our drinks, our main courses and dessert at our leisure. Everyone enjoyed their meals. A bit on the higher priced side but not unexpected for the ambiance. Recommended!

Beautiful little restaurant tucked away in the back corner of a shopping center. Ordered an Ahi Tuna Salad that was delicious and reasonably priced. The service was terrific in that the waitress checked on us, but not too often as my friend and I were having a conversation over lunch. I will be back.

More causal than I anticipated. And I was glad we were away from the midst of the restaurant because I noticed the noise level right away and we were doing a friend catch up so there was a lot of conversation at our table . That being said, we were comfortable, service was excellent and the food was as well.
