Steel Drum Grill to open on Overton Road

Big Sky Bread Company owners Jeff and Patti Pierce are scheduled to open a new casual restaurant, Steel Drum Grill, on Overton Road this week.

“We love cooking seafood and crab cakes we have enjoyed from traveling different places,” Jeff Pierce said, “and we have wanted to open a restaurant for forever.”

The menu of salads, sandwiches, pizzas and entrees includes American favorites like an Angus Burger as well as dishes with coastal flair such as Smoked Tuna Dip, Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos, and Shrimp and Grits. The Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich and Steel Drum Pimento Cheese Sandwich are served on Big Sky bread.

“We want to keep it really simple and prepare our dishes really well,” Pierce said.

Pierce said the menu features different specials in addition to its regular items.

The owners have outfitted the space with TVs and want it to be a laid back place to hang out.

Steel Drum Grill is located at 3150 Overton Road across from Publix and can be reached at 637-1911. Restaurant hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
