The former Fire Oak Grill restaurant in Weatherford will get a $3.2 million remodeling by the same company that designed the $5 million Cattlemen’s Steak House and club in Fort Worth, according to a state application filed March 6.
Fort Worth-based TV producer Taylor Sheridan and his business partners are not named on the application. A spokesperson for Sheridan’s SGS Holdings Group did not return a late message.
But Grapevine-based Duncan Design Group, the design firm behind the remodeling of Cattleman’s and the private Cattleman’s Club, is listed as the design firm for the project.
The 1884-85-vintage retail building is at 114 Austin Ave. on the Parker County courthouse square.

Duncan also has designed more than 25 restaurants for other companies such as Cristina’s, Mi Cocina, Muchacho and Social House. But only Cattleman’s, a 20,710-square-foot steakhouse and club, is at the scale of the Fire Oak project, listed as 12,731 square feet.
The application for Fire Oak indicates construction is estimated to be finished by May 31, 2027.
The owner of the Fire Oak building is listed as a Fort Worth-based family trust that bought it July 2, 2025.

In a farewell letter, then-owners Candice and Grant Lambdins wrote that the new owner “will continue to pour LOVE into this space.”
The reference was taken as a hint that the buyer was nationally known Fort Worth chef Tim Love, but the Lambdins declined to say.
Sheridan, owner of Bosque Ranch in Parker County, is the creator of “Yellowstone,” “Landman”: and the new Fort Worth-filmed series “The Madison,” which premieres March 14 on Paramount+.
