Our Story, And History Of A Northridge Staple
George’s Family Restaurant | Established 1994
Back in the 1950’s, Charburger opened the doors as the first in a line of restaurants that would eventually becomes George’s Family Restaurant. Charburger was the place to be seen on the Dixie Strip and all the cars out cruising would pull around back for car hop service. The interior boasted high vaulted ceilings, large windows, and a copper grill hood over twenty feet tall. After Charburger, the Dixie Family Inn took over for a few years during the 1970’s. Farmer Jacks followed and was a staple in Northridge throughout the 1980’s. People remember the salad bar, wishing well, dance floor and spent many nights dancing to Country music being played in the corner. Farmer Jacks became Southern Bell for a few years until George Dimitrouleas and his business partner, Chef Mike Giolekas, opened up George’s Family Restaurant in 1994. George sold the business to his Son, Dino, and his significant other Elesha in 2003. An expanded menu featuring Genuine Broaster Chicken, Broasted Fish, and Broasted Pork Chops was introduced in 2010. We celebrated our 25th Year in operation during 2019.
Many of Mike’s original recipes are still being used to this day including our Lemon Chicken Rice Soup, Meatloaf, and Spinach Pie. This truly is a family business as George’s has a pair of Sisters managing operations as well as sets of Brothers and Cousins working in the back of house. We also have two Mother-Daughter teams serving tables up front! There are many employees who have been with George’s since the 1990’s and many customers who have been dining here since the Charburger days.
Whether it’s your first time or your 50th, WELCOME! We hope you love it here as much as we do.
