A True Western Tradition

The demand to serve livestock ranchers and buyers at the weekly auction started the Market Grill in true Western tradition. Bonnie Beacham flipped burgers on a cast iron grill over two hot plate burners while customers listened to the sounds of livestock lowing and the chatter of the auctioneer as atmosphere. The burgers were great and the atmosphere busy and friendly.

Great food and great service are what owners Larry and Bonnie Beacham are dedicated to provide for their customers. This dedication has helped bring them from those early beginnings to the thriving and popular restaurant called the Market Grill. With the help of Met and Lana Johnson, then owners of the Cedar Livestock Auction, Bonnie established a small restaurant where she could set up her grill permanently.

Where the
Market Grill story began

Although it was a struggle, Bonnie can remember the days when she served as the cook, waitress, cashier, dishwasher and hostess all at the same time — the business thrived. With the Johnson's help and support, soon the customers outnumbered the seats.

When it was time to add another room on, Bonnie traded her spatula to her husband Larry. Filling in wherever they need, all five of the Beacham children soon made the Market Grill a family affair.

In 2006, Bonnie and Larry retired, handing the reins to their oldest daughter, Kay Lonnie. Then in 2018, Kay Lonnie retired, handing the reins to Mona, keeping up the family tradition.

With all of the changes over the years, including more than just burgers these days, Mona still strives to make you feel at home. Although the restaurant is popular with the locals, out-of-town visitors are always welcome, and we'll be glad you came to the Market Grill.
