THE BLUEGRASS STORY
WE ARE A FAMILY-RUN RESTAURANT-WE LOOK LIKE FOR A REASON.  The roots of the Bluegrass Grill come from Mom & Dad's pre-kid days. We were members of a Christian service organization that ran soup kitchens for the homeless in large cities. We realized that we had some good cooks and bakers in our ranks, which sparked the birth of the Br. Juniper's restaurants. These restaurants funded long-term homeless shelters for families. It was the shelters' mission to provide people with a stable environment and a community for the amount of time required to get back on their feet. The most well-known of these shelters is Raphael House in San Fransico. Jonas, the Dad, is a retired Priest in the Orthodox Church. Joan Marie, The Mom, is a Registered Nurse, and a Board-Certified Nurse Coach. We started restaurants, wherever we stationed, in order to only take a half-salary from the Church, like St. Paul with his tent-making.  Bluegrass Grill is our fourth restaurant. The others have been Br. Juniper's College Inn in Memphis, Tennessee; Captain's in Kodiak, Alaska, and Bluegrass Grill in Charlottesville, Virginia. Our Children Paul, Greg, Nina, & Ben have been raised in the restaurant business. Our goal is to provide healthy food at reasonable prices where people feel at home. It is a blessing to our family, and we hope to the greater community. Thank you for supporting us.
