About Beechwood Inn's Hardwood Grille

Beechwood Inn's Hardwood Grille operates out of the west side location of Erie Brewing Company, running a scratch kitchen built around a genuinely distinctive burger program. Its fresh Black Angus patties are a custom blend of short rib, brisket, and top sirloin, ground and formed in-house, then cooked over an actual hardwood grille rather than a standard flat-top or gas grill. That combination of blend and cooking method is what the restaurant is known for locally, with a menu built around thousands of possible burger topping combinations for regulars who like to customize. The kitchen doesn't stop at burgers — a broader scratch-made menu rounds out the offering, and the Buffalo wings get called out by name in reviews as particularly well seasoned. The connection to Erie Brewing Company gives the Hardwood Grille a built-in beer program to pair with the food, making it as much a beer-and-burger destination as a standalone restaurant. Its tagline, "Where Friends Meet Friends," reflects the casual, neighborhood feel of the space despite the more ambitious cooking happening behind the counter. For Erie diners who take their burgers seriously, the hardwood-grilled short rib-brisket-sirloin blend has made this location a specific destination rather than a convenient stop.
