CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With crisp autumn days a few weeks away, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill has unveiled its new seasonally inspired Fall Features menu, highlighting some of the best flavors of autumn. These include Grilled Short Ribs, Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Spinach Salad, Wicked Burger and more. Firebirds is compiling a fall menu full of guest favorites from past seasonal menus. Additionally, Firebirds is offering a twist on an old favorite, Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Spice Butter Cake, available for a limited time.

"We constantly hear from our guests that they would love to try some of our seasonal dishes again, so our fall menu is full of items that our guests have adored in the past," said Firebirds Executive Chef Steve Sturm. "It is no wonder either, as these are menu items full of fresh, bold ingredients that pair well with the cooling temperatures."

Available Sept. 12 – Oct. 23, the Fall Features menu includes:

Lunch
