Local East City Restaurant To Flip Its Last Burger Dec. 18

/

It was one of the toughest decisions to make for owners Carolyn and Steve Effer of Reggie’s Hot Grill but they are closing up shop on Dec. 18 announced Thursday.

The decision to close the East City restaurant was for the sake and well-being of the family.

“We realized over the pandemic that we need to make a lifestyle change for ourselves, for our health, for our family,” said Carolyn. “We love being here and we love the community who have supported us during the pandemic and even before that. We just had to make a hard decision and believe me, it was a hard decision.”

The family also operated the Red Wagon Family Food year-round food truck at 2621 Lakefield Road. Photo by David Tuan Bui.

After living a closer family life due to the pandemic, it was a lifestyle that they become accustomed to.

“The thought of going back full-time, that lifestyle is not appealing to us anymore,” said Steve. “We wanted a more family lifestyle at home.”

Cameron Green and Rej Maranda originally opened Reggie’s Hot Grill. East City Bakery purchased the business in 2013 then Peter Kayser of Kayser Financial Services took over in 2015. He rebranded it to Reggie’s Gourmet Burgers.

The couple purchased the business in 2016 running its first day on Dec. 16. They will continue to do catering, operate pop-up kitchens and “still feed the community.”

“It’s so hard knowing that you are somebody’s go-to regular Friday night meal and I really hope who does come in here can carry forward with that,” reflected Carolyn.
