Ah there is a shop near me called
"Ye Olde Chippe Shoppe"
the owner/server said she did it because of all of the misplaced Es hanging around... We have a "Ye Olde Haire Shoppe"....lady's hair salon. Dumb.

So why the -room? As in kitchen or BBQ? or just for the sake of it?

Ah an Americanism then...we call the thing on the patio a barbecue and those restaurants are "so and so's Bar and Grill" our grill is a setting on an oven for bacon and such or a griddle(plate)

Where is the useless "E" on grillroom? Something got
lost here in translation? Or 're' or 'er'?

>"so and so's Bar and Grill" the 'e' *isn't on grillroom, the 'e' would be on "so and so's Bar and Grille". see def'n no. 3 on grill, the noun.. grill p.s. - there is a legitimate use for grille, of which grill is also a variant. it's found on the front of many cars, etc. see no. 5 on the grill link above.
