Archived listings name three restaurants at 9 East Main Street: Berryville Grille in 2015, 2021 and 2022, SueCat's Bistro in 2025, and Aztec City Mexican Restaurant in 2026. The listings do not establish ownership transfers or the start and end of each tenancy.
A single downtown address that has carried at least three restaurant names between 2012 and 2026. What the archived directory pages establish is the sequence of names on the door, not the sequence of ownership behind it.
9 East Main Street is a restaurant address in downtown Berryville. The Berryville Main Street portal named it as the Berryville Grille as early as 24 February 2012, and tourism and Main Street listings continued to carry the Grille at that address through captures on 7 March 2015, 16 June 2021, and 11 December 20221. Four archived pages across an eleven-year run are the corpus's record of the Grille at the door.
By 14 February 2025 a Berryville Main Street directory page carried a different tenant name at the same address: SueCat's Bistro, described as a casual restaurant with a southern-inspired menu. The address field on that same directory page still contained the words "The Berryville Grille" — the sort of stale text that suggests an entry updated without a full rewrite, and worth naming here as a small check on how quickly directory pages catch up to what is actually on the street1.
By 15 April 2026 the tenant name had changed again. The Main Street directory and the county tourism listing (read on 10 September 2026) named Aztec City Mexican Restaurant at 9 East Main Street, with copy describing Tex-Mex favourites and dishes inspired by Mexican cooking1. Three restaurant names, three archived captures, one address.
What the archived directory pages establish is the sequence of names on the door at 9 East Main. What they do not establish is the sequence of owners behind those names, the start and end dates of each tenancy, or whether one restaurant became the next through sale, lease, or fresh incorporation. Corporate filings and county business licence records are the natural next research target for that history.
Archived directory pages list a restaurant named Berryville Grille at 9 East Main Street, Berryville: by name in a Main Street portal captured 24 February 2012, and with the address in tourism and Main Street listings captured 7 March 2015, 16 June 2021 and 11 December 2022.
That a business of this name was listed at this address across a span of captures from 2012 to 2022.
Each capture attests one day. Nothing here gives an opening date, a closing date or continuous operation between captures; the 2012 page shows the name without an address.
Evidence role: supports. The 2012 portal names the Grille among member restaurants.

AI-assisted source check (Claude Fable 5.1) · 2026-09-10. How this project checks its sources
A Berryville Main Street directory page captured 14 February 2025 lists SueCat's Bistro at 9 East Main Street as a casual restaurant with a southern-inspired menu; the listing's address field still carried the words "The Berryville Grille".
That a second business was listed at the same address by early 2025, and what it said it served.
The leftover "Berryville Grille" in an address field is a trace of an earlier listing, not evidence of when one restaurant closed and the next opened, nor of any transfer between them. The lane reported a closing notice on the bistro's own site in September 2026; that page could not be read by this project, so no closure is claimed.
