By Chuck Gibson – A Loveland Beacon digital media & Gibson Communications production

LOVELAND, OH (February 25, 2025) – The year was 2000, the name was Tequila Jack’s, at least until a guy named Kevin Egan moved into Loveland while he and a couple buddies were looking to open a grill.

Kevin and his partners purchased Tequila Jacks and in April 2000 it became Paxton’s Grill. The rest, as they say, is history. Oh, and what a history it is!

They could not have known then they would be here today saying: “Cheers to 25 Years!” but that is exactly what’s happening. Paxton’s Grill, so many employee’s and regular patrons are already celebrating this 25th Anniversary for the popular family, food, and fun stop alongside the Loveland Bike Trail in Historic Downtown Loveland, OH. 

Lot’s of names and faces have passed through, and still do, including Kevin, his original partners, long-timer and ownership partner Ralph Dunnigan and relative newcomer John Zielke.
