about
FITZ’S CLASSIC GRILL BBQ SMOKEHOUSE is a family owned and operated restaurant. We were first established back in 1994 as a catering company known as FITZ’S CATERING As a new company we start off small and out of our home. After a few years of operating out our home we came to realize that space was becoming an issue. With this in mind we went on to find a great spot on Bentley Ave that had a commercial kitchen, lot more space and at front of the house café. We were not just a catering company now; we also became a café named FITZ’S CAFÉ. After many years at this location we felt our business was developing into a successful reputable one. With the continued growth of our business Bentley Ave was becoming too small, know where to expand, we needed to relocate. In 2011 we moved to Bellcorners into the Best Western Hotel and took over an already existing operation. Bellscorners offered us the opportunity to experience running a full restaurant as well as a catering company on a larger scale. With this change we felt it necessary to change our name to fit where our business was taken us. This is when we became “FITZ’S CLASSIC GRILL”. This move allowed us to develop a full course Steak, Seafood and Pasta menu something we could not have done in the past. FITZ’S CLASSIC GRILL offered up all three meals seven days a week. Being attached to a Hotel our cliental varied each and every single day. They would be hotel guest, people off the street and guests from the banquet rooms. We were able to meet many great and interesting guests and had a stead follow of regular customers as well. Our kitchen did not stop at just serving the supportive front of the house guest we also had 6 banquet rooms that we were responsible for. Each day we prepared and served for breakfast meetings, luncheons and dinner meetings, receptions & special events that were booked by the hotel. Each booking could carry anywhere from 20 to 150 people. Our business did not just stop at what was required from us in Bellscorners, we still provide numerous off site catering as well as participated in various festivals throughout the city. As business owner we are always trying to find new ways to help us move forward this is when in 2014 after having some fun with a newly purchased Smoker we decide to make a change to our menu. We went from Steak & Seafood to becoming a BBQ Smokehouse over night. We still offered steak and seafood on our menu but the featured items where now Smoke Ribs, Smoked Brisket, Pull Pork, BBQ Chicken etc. We remained FITZ’S CLASSIC GRILL but with a slight adjustment we added BBQ Smokehouse to our name becoming “FITZ’S CLASSIC GRILL BBQ SMOKEHOUSE”. The change to our name and menu was greeted with great response by our customer. We have remained with our Smokehouse BBQ menu but now where operated out of a different location. We left the Best Western Hotel back in the summer of 2016 only to continue moving in a positive direction. Our new address at 250 Greenbank Rd has given our business an added bonus and the direction we were looking for. We are now a part of a great community providing the continual excellent service to our new neighbors as well to our continued long time supportive customers who have followed us. FITZ’S CLASSIC GRILL BBQ SMOKEHOUSE, we pride ourselves on the quality of food and service we provide it has never change since our early days on Bentley Ave. We will continue to provide for our customers a feel at home atmosphere along with amplifying everyone’s taste bud from the freshly grilled home fries right down to the perfectly smoked ribs. We look forward to serving our customers. Hope to visit with you soon.
