Michael Symon's B Spot to Open April 6

The eagerly anticipated B Spot restaurant will open in the Greens of Strongsville on April 6.

The eatery, which features Iron Chef Michael Symon's signature burgers, as well as brats and beer, starts serving daily at 11 a.m.

Symon, who owns the acclaimed Lola in Cleveland and who gained national fame by winning the Food Network's Iron Chef competition, looked at several communities for his second gourmet burger-and-bratwurst restaurant before picking the location at 18066 Royalton Rd., local officials said.

Construction crews are almost finished converting the former Bombay Company into a 120-seat eatery.  The 3,300-square-foot restaurant will feature Symon's gourmet hamburgers and bratwurst and a variety of hand-crafted beers on tap. It will employ 40 to 50 people.

There will be no outdoor seating, but the front of the restaurant will include a sliding glass door that can be opened in warm weather, according to Strongsville Economic Development Director Brent Painter

"Even if you're sitting inside, it'll feel like you're outside," Painter said.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.

It won't be the only B Spot on the west side for long. Symon announced plans recently to . A Bar Symon location in Avon Lake closed last year.

The Strongsville B Spot will feature the same menu as the original at 28699 Chagrin Blvd. in Woodmere. 

In addition to Lola and B Spot, Symon also owns Lolita in Tremont and Roast in Detroit.
