RAYMOND – In February, there will be a new firehouse in the town of Raymond, but the only emergency they can help you with is hunger.

Set to open Feb. 1 in the place of the former Rockin’ Roscoe’s restaurant on Route 302, J.D.’s Firehouse Grill will offer American fare seven days a week.

“We are excited to bring a restaurant with a family atmosphere and affordable food to Raymond,” said Dawn Greenleaf, who owns the new eatery with husband Jason.

The tribute to local firehouses will be located in the well-known building on Raymond’s commercial strip on Route 302. The facade was redesigned to resemble a New Orleans-style supper club restaurant by Dick Dyke, who operated Mr. D’s Supper Club in the early 2000s. It was then sold to Enzo Raggiani in 2004 who ran Montebello’s Ristorante until a fire in 2007 damaged much of the rear of the building. Last year, the space was operated as Rockin’ Roscoe’s Restaurant & Lounge by Windham resident Roscoe Grant, who is under indictment by the state for failing to turn over sales tax revenue. Grant opened the restaurant in spring of 2010 and folded in November.

All the seemingly bad luck associated with the building hasn’t made the Greenleafs nervous.

“I think with Jason’s gift for cooking and the community we already have following us, we will be just fine,” said Greenleaf.

The community following Greenleaf refers to are her loyal customers at their current eatery, Top of the Hill Grill on Route 302 in Casco. Serving breakfast and lunch seven days a week, the Greenleafs have owned and operated the grill since 2004 and have no plans to close it with the opening of J.D.’s Firehouse Grill.

“We will keep Top of the Hill open,” said Greenleaf. “We just felt it was time to showcase Jason’s culinary talents on other foods. The opportunity arose for this building, and we knew it was the right location for us to branch out.”

The restaurant will serve a variety of what they consider to be home cooked meals and typical American-style food including burgers, steaks, chicken, potatoes and vegetables. The restaurant will also have a full bar.

The Greenleafs have spent the past few months gutting the inside of the building and replacing everything from floors to tables to kitchen equipment to reflect the new owners and pay tribute to local firefighters.

“I think the building really speaks to who we are,” said Greenleaf. “I hope people will come in, relax, enjoy the atmosphere and just have a good time.”
