1. About Us page on Granville Moore's site.
The third paragraph on the page shares about the namesake for the restaurant:
Dr. Granville Moore was a neighborhood Doctor who twice a week provided pro-bono work for the sick and less fortunate members of the community at the location of Granville Moore’s. Several wonderful visitors and members of his family have come in to share their stories of the Doctor. We kept the name as an homage to the man who did so much for this community.
