Longtime Elmhurst Restaurant Closing This Month

ELMHURST, IL – Silverado Grill, which opened in Elmhurst in the 1980s, plans to close at month's end.

The restaurant, 447 Spring Road, announced the news on Facebook last week.

On Monday, it revealed that all of its reservations slots are filled through Sept. 30. Walk-ins will be based on availability, according to the restaurant's Facebook page.

The restaurant has set an "End of an Era" party for 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. It will feature burgers, brats, beer and live music, the restaurant said.

Silverado's owner is Jack Island.

In July, city officials said at a ward meeting that the Silverado property was under contract with a buyer. The buyer was in discussions with the city about housing on the property.

The unidentified buyer had not submitted anything to begin the zoning process, officials said at the meeting.

Island did not return a call for comment at the time.
