Client Spotlight - Bonnet Lane Family Restaurant and Roberts Block Restaurant

In this edition of the Century Business Advisors Client Spotlight, we feature Mike and Joy Grafenstine of Bonnet Lane Family Restaurant and Roberts Block Restaurant. The Grafenstines wield an experienced whisk, with 23 years of restaurant experience. 

Bonnet Lane Family Restaurant opened its doors in 1998, and Roberts Block Restaurant followed in 2016. Bonnet Lane serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and features a vast American-fare menu selection perfect for any family meal. 

Roberts Block has been voted “Best place for steak, wine and entertainment.” This location caters to the cocktail and dinner set and offers customized menus to parties interested in holding private events for 25 to 150 guests. 

We hope you’ll enjoy this introduction to the Grafenstines, and we invite you to have a meal at one of their locations soon to get to know them better.

What is your most popular menu item?

At Bonnet Lane, our stuffed French toast is the favored breakfast item, and the traditional turkey dinner is the preferred dinner item of our customers.

The root beer wings, homemade flatbreads and our signature baby back ribs are the crowd favorites at Roberts Block. 

What are your company goals heading into next year?

We plan to hire additional outgoing and dedicated staff to help us better serve our loyal customers and maintain close relationships with our current staff, who have been so faithful to us during the trying times of the pandemic.

Why did you choose to work with the Century Business Advisors team, and what do you feel is their biggest strength? 

Communication. We talk to the Century Business Advisors team on a weekly basis. They always get back to us punctually and go the extra mile for us. They were especially helpful during the strain of the COVID shutdown by handling all the government loan and forgiveness applications for both of our restaurants. The staff truly cares for us and the success of our business, and they’ve become friends we sincerely appreciate. We highly recommend Century Business Advisors to others in the restaurant industry.
