Linebacker Grille Closes After Only 3 Months in Business

After opening only three short months ago,  has closed down.

Celebrating its grand opening back in April, the family-friendly restaurant at 1126 E. Ogden Ave. sits vacant today—signs stripped down and all. Even the restaurant's website is listed as "under construction."

A number of restaurants have come and gone at the same location, including a Show Me's, .

The Linebacker Grille provided a more upscale experience compared to a traditional sports bar and employed about 50 staff members, .

An extensive update to the building's interior was done before it opened. Beckner said he removed much of the wood interior and added a fireplace to the restaurant's dining room. 

Menu prices ranged from about $6.95 for a classic flatbread up to $21.95 for a ribeye chimichurri. Items included appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, entrees and flatbreads. A variety of craft beers, including beer from local brewery Two Brothers Brewing Co., as well as a wine list were also made available to diners.
