Summerville Grill’s History:
The Summerville Grill is located at 5370 Saint Paul Boulevard in Rochester, New York–just down the street from Lake Ontario and the Genesee River. It is surrounded by quaint summer cottages in an area of Irondequoit the locals call “White City.”
The building was built in the early 1900s and was originally a boarding house that offered a temporary home to laborers working in the ship yards at the Port of Rochester.
In the fifties, the building was purchased by Fred and Nancy Barbara and was called “Barbarians Cove.” The lower level was converted to a bar and remained in business until a fire destroyed the upper levels of the building in the late 80s.
After that, the building was purchased by Jerry Lamb and was remodeled into a single story structure and named the “Summerville Grill.”
Daniel Graden and his sister Barbara LeMay purchased the building and business from Jerry Lamb in August of 2001. Since their purchase of the Summerville Grill they have added an addition and upgraded the kitchen facilities. The restaurant has seating for 84 in the main dining room and additional seating in the bar area.
