As locally famous barbecue restaurant Bobby Q”™s Bodacious Barbecue & Grill wraps up an 11-year run in Westport this month, owner Bob LeRose has announced that he will be opening a new venture in Norwalk this summer.
According to a statement from LeRose the new 4,300-square-foot location on Merwin Street will accommodate 80-100 diners and include an outdoor dining area.
The new restaurant is tentatively planned to open sometime this summer, Â LeRose said, and will feature new twists on old favorites from the current Westport location as well as its award-winning barbecue.
“We”™re excited to launch this new venture in this vibrant, up-and-coming area of Norwalk and make friends in our new community,” said LeRose. “While we are still working on the name of the restaurant and our menu, expect to continue enjoying our ”˜pit to plate”™ promise of the freshest barbecue, cooked daily, including traditional big plates of barbecue meats and sides, as well as some fresh dishes and new concepts. This will be in addition to an innovative cocktail menu, expanded craft beer offerings and a great line-up of bands to continue our commitment to offering the best local, live music in Fairfield County.”
