Grover T’s BBQ, Milton’s Southern-inspired barbecue restaurant, has closed its doors permanently after over a decade of service.
While the family-centered restaurant first opened its doors in 2013, it was purchased by local Brandon Saucier less than a year ago to try to “revive” the restaurant.
“Eight months ago, Grover T’s was purchased by a local family with a dream and a mission; to revive the restaurant and restore a tiny piece of culture for the community. We put on Bike Night, Trivia, Trunk or Treat, Bingo, Santa Meet & Greet, Brunch, and even more. Many of you met the entire family, as long days required our kids to call it home too sometimes,” the Grover T’s BBQ Facebook statement read. “Unfortunately, in this industry, heart alone isn’t what keeps the doors open.”
In a Facebook post made by the restaurant in September, there were big plans ahead for the restaurant’s growth.
“There’s many reasons why a restaurant changes ownership, but at the center of this particular turnover, is just another local family with passion for the industry, and drive for success. Grover Ts BBQ was purchased by Brandon Saucier, who has grand plans for the revitalization of the business,” the statement read. “After purchasing Saucy’s, he committed to the community by improving service, atmosphere and outreach. Grover Ts BBQ is now headed for the same path, and has a lot in store for the road ahead.”
