The casual family restaurant expanding throughout Florida
Pensacola, Fla. – Times Grill, a family-oriented casual dining restaurant, prides itself on making sure guests always enjoy its specialty and made-to-order menu selection. The restaurant recently opened a location on Nine Mile Road, the first one in Pensacola. Times Grill is opening four locations throughout Florida in Jacksonville and Pensacola.
“We are excited to be opening a Times Grill in my hometown of Pensacola,” said Linver Leffel, partner and franchise owner of Times Grill. “We strive to make sure that no matter the hour or place, anytime is a good time at Times Grill.” A graduate of Pensacola’s Pace High School, Leffel has more than 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry. He is also a current franchise owner of Firehouse Subs and has previously worked at Quincy’s Family Steak House. “This has always been my life’s passion,” Leffel said. “I plan on opening more Times Grill locations throughout Pensacola.” Times Grill opened its first location in 1994 in Mandeville, Louisiana. The restaurant quickly became known for having more than 20 distinctive burgers. All burger patties are hand-made daily, char-grilled and cooked-to-order. Its specialty burger, the Times Burger™, is a half-pound patty that can be customized with seven different choices of cheeses including American, cheddar, Swiss, provolone, blue, feta or pepperjack. All of the restaurant’s char-gilled burgers are served with lettuce, tomato, pickle and a choice of french fries or the Times potato salad. Other notable burgers include the Cajun Sunset®, seasoned with Creole spices and topped with a pan-fried egg; the Goldburger™, basted in barbeque sauce and topped with melted pepperjack cheese and covered with onion slabs; All Jacked Up!™, a guest favorite topped with sweet grilled onions and spicy jack cheese; and the one-and-a-half pound Wall of Fame Burger, which offers guests a spot on the Times Grill Wall of Fame if they can finish it. Times Grill’s menu also includes appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, entrees, desserts, old-fashioned malts, shakes and floats, as well as a full bar for its guests. The menu in each Times Grill location represents the culture of its city. The Pensacola menu will feature a timeline with the city’s historic dates and landmarks. Not only do guests have fun at Times Grill—its employees are treated like stars. The “teammates” at Times Grill have personalized titles, such as service managers for waiters and waitresses and assistant production managers for dishwashers. Currently, there are four Times Grill locations throughout Louisiana in Mandeville, Slidell, and two in Baton Rouge. In May, the restaurant opened its first Florida location in Jacksonville. The Pensacola location marks the second Florida opening for the restaurant concept. Jacksonville will open two more locations in early 2008.
