After three years of business in Beaumont Texas, the Wood Fired Grill and the Backyard Dance Hall are closing on Saturday, July 21. “We’ve had a great run, and I’d like to thank our dedicated staff and patrons for supporting the Wood Fired Grill and Backyard Dance Hall, said principal owner Jerry Nelson. “Unfortunately, the entertainment and dining landscape has changed since we opened the Hill Country complex in 2015, and we've decided that it's in the best interest of the business to close at this time. We’ve produced a lot of great concerts at the Backyard and served a lot of great food at the Wood Fired Grill, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have done so.”
