Back Road Brewing Co. | CB002
Fifty by eighty is not the whole restaurant. Back Road Brewing Company CB002 is a 50×80 restaurant in Pennsylvania with a 12-foot-tall lean-to along each long wall, so the working space runs past the footprint.
The choice is what lives in the main room and what lives in the lean-tos. Read how this one is framed before you scope your own restaurant.
Photos of a 50×80 Restaurant
Start with the roofline: slate metal, with two cupolas that have slate bases and white centers. Then follow the red painted board and batten down to the slate trim and the white vinyl soffit and gutters. Notice where the lean-to enclosures start and stop along the long walls, since one is enclosed end to end and the other only part of the way.

Post-Frame Restaurant Building Specifications
Pole spacing shifts with the structure: 8 feet on center on the main building and the Eave 1 lean-to, 10 feet on the Eave 2 lean-to. Overhead, the 50-foot trusses sit 2 feet on center at a 4/12 pitch with raised heels, sized for snow load by code and design. Both lean-to roofs run at a 2/12 pitch.

Pricing & Financing Options
On a restaurant with a lean-to on each long wall, the quote follows what is built around the main structure. The two lean-tos and their board-and-batten enclosure, the painted siding, the two cupolas, and the Low-E windows each move the number on their own. Pioneer does not publish a price because none of those are catalog items. Tell us your seating, kitchen, and entry plan, and we will price your version.
Financing is available through Hearth. Learn more about our Financing Options, call (888) 448-2505, or Request Your Free Quote to get started.

Final Thoughts
Plan review is part of the design, not a step after it. On this restaurant, review added raised heel trusses and header adjustments, and both changed the frame. That is the trade-off of a building open to the public: the reviewer’s comments land in the structure, not only on paper. Submit early, expect the truss package to change, and leave room in your schedule for it. A restaurant is easier to adjust before the poles are set than after the roof is on.
