Business has returned to a Wichita Falls restaurant that sat vacant for years.
The Firefly Bar & Grill opened at 2927 Southwest Parkway in March. It bills itself as a “Texas-style” bar and grill.
The menu runs from burgers to steaks, souvlaki, gyro and flatbreads, according to the restaurant’s website.
Salads run $12-$15, entrees $16-$29, burgers $13-$17 and pasta dishes $15-$23.
The restaurant’s hours are Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
The principal owner is Yadollah Kamami of Wichita Falls, who also operates the Jolly Truck Stop in Clay County.
The building began as a K-Bob’s Steakhouse in 1979. Most locations of that small but popular Texas chain, including the Wichita Falls location, have gone out of business.
By 1990 the address had turned from food to entertainment, first as the Texasville nightclub and then as Shenanigan’s.
The building was repossessed by the Small Business Administration in 1992, but by 1997 it was sold and became Dyer’s Bar-B-Que. In 2005 it became a Jalapeno Tree Mexican food restaurant, part of a Texas chain.
The Wichita Falls location closed in 2017 although the chain still operates numerous other locations in Texas.
