Operated by the longtime Columbus restaurant veteran and owner of the sandwich-focused McGinnis’ Grill food truck, Birdie Grill will serve as the first brick and mortar home for McGinnis’ food concepts.

Similar to its mobile counterpart, Birdie’s Grill with serve sandwiches—like their Braised Brisket Melt and Caprese Grilled Cheese  but will also lean into appetizers and other starters.

According to McGinnis, Birdie’s Grill is inspired by the idea of a golf clubhouse, but won’t be limited to traditional clubhouse offerings.
