The two buildings that now house the Wildfire Restaurant were originally constructed circa 1920 on the site where the City Hotel stood in the late 1890s. Their history is as varied as the history of American business itself. Over the past 80-plus years, these walls have housed a clothing store, a Piggly Wiggly Grocery, Peasley’s Meat Market, Lawhon & Anderson Air Conditioning and Electrical, a Sears and Roebuck Catalog Store and then business offices. More recently, it was a ladies apparel and gift shop until the current owner, Bill Cox, opened the Wildfire Restaurant with his sister. Subsequently, they also opened the Lockett Banquet Facility in the nearby M. B. Lockett Building that was constructed circa 1890. Both locations offer private dining room accommodations for groups, while the Wildfire is a regular walk-in restaurant.

​Hi! My name is Martin Byhower, and I split my time between enjoying and exploring the natural environment while doing what I can, both professionally and personally, to preserve and protect all things wild. I'm a native Californian, where I taught science, restored habitats, worked as an advocate for wildlife, and guided small and large birding groups for decades before my passion for nature brought me to the incredibly rich and diverse central Texas bioregion. When not out birding and "botanizing", I spend as much time as possible sharing my passions with YOU, helping you create a wildlife friendly garden, helping you find the remarkable avian fauna in this region, or giving presentations to your group, club, or organization. When not doing the preceding, I enjoy chilling with my lovely wife and our dog and cat and exploring the rich music, dining, museums, parks, and entertainment in Austin and Georgetown TX.
