Description
Summit Grill positions as a polished-casual neighborhood American house: hand-cut steaks, seafood, salads, burgers, house-made desserts; brunch and daily happy hour across the trio of rooms.1 Sister Summit Hospitality concepts in the wider group include Third Street Social, Pearl Tavern, and (historically) Boru Asian Eatery (Waldo — closed 2026 per Star).
Ownership and history
Lock and Molloy converted a former Lee’s Summit steakhouse into Summit Grill in 2012, then expanded to Waldo (2014) and Gladstone (2018).12 Original Summit Grill has undergone renovation cycles (group press). Lock’s April 2025 death was announced by the restaurant group as co-owner/founder.3
