A FAMILY favourite BBQ and burger chain has announced it will close all of its locations, leaving customers gutted.
The American business previously said it was on a "quest" to " bring the genuine flavours of the Southern States to the UK."
Bluegrass BBQ Smokehouse had locations in Reading, Windsor, and High Wycombe.
However, the business has now been dissolved, according to Companies House documents.
The winding up of the company began on Monday, January 27, and is being undertaken by practitioners Robert Cundy and Bijal Shah.
The Wix website for Bluegrass has also been deleted.

One local took to Facebook to question the current status of their beloved restaurant.
And dozens of people shared their thoughts in the comment section.
One person said: "Jesus, might as well shut down the whole town."
Followed by a second person: "Now we will have to find somewhere else for pancakes."

And then a third person said: "Shame for the town that yet another thing has closed."
Prior to its closure, Bluegrass BBQ Smokehouse had some rave reviews.
One person who visited the Reading branch in January said: "Bluegrass BBQ is a BBQ restaurant with a very distinctive smoked aroma.
"We ordered the brisket, and the meat was incredibly tender, melting in the mouth without being tough at all.
"The BBQ chicken wings were also flavourful."
Four months ago another person said: "We are regulars at Bluegrass, we usually visit 3-4 times a year.
"Our last visit was a Friday lunch, we have arrived before 12:00, so it wasn't too busy.
"The menus are varied, with lots of options for everyone and we always try to get something else to try out.

"Through a number of visits, having tried over a dozen of the menu options, there wasn't a single one that we would not like or would not order again."
Bluegrass BBQ Smokehouse has been approached for comment.
