Little Fish Brewing

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. 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. 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.

Today Dino & Elesha announced on their facebook page that they’ve sold the business.

Here’s that post:

“To our loyal customers and friends. We would like to share the bittersweet news with you that we have sold George’s Family Restaurant after almost 20 years of ownership.

Don’t worry, nothing is changing. We will still have the same great name, same great recipes, same great staff and same great service that you allknow and love. We are very confident that it’s in good hands with the new owners, Steve and Sam.
