A visit from the mayor and an outpouring of community support wasn't enough to keep the barbecue restaurant open, according to the owners, who said they'll keep cooking at popups.
The father-and-son-operated barbecue restaurant will close its doors at the end of the year after facing an arduous process getting its smoker approved, among other struggles.
Father and son barbecue team David and Dennis Robicheau’s Shady Grove Foods will take the place of Restauration, which closed in April after the owner violated a number of COVID-19 health rules.
