Locally Owned by Bill Georgiou

Bill Georgiou is the USF grad who started The Burg Bar & Grill after operating his family’s Greek restaurants here locally. His mom Maria is responsible for contributing family recipes that help make the restaurant…and same with their Burg Diner, which I’ll write up down the road!

I found this in an article on the St Pete Catalyst:

“the 1960s and ‘70s, the Georgiou family visited the Tampa Bay area regularly, as a sunny respite from the frozen tundra of Windsor, Ontario. They resided in Greece for a few years. In the early ‘80s, they moved the whole enterprise to Pinellas County. The family’s first Floridian endeavor was a Seminole Blvd restaurant called Grecian Gardens. Mama Maria prepared the food, based on family recipes, and everyone – young Bill included – waited tables and worked the kitchen.”

Haley Haman of the St Pete Foodies wrote: “Not to exaggerate or anything, but if you haven’t been to The Burg Bar & Grill are you REALLY a local foodie? I mean they really do have an array of savory, greasy and yummy options that we all need sometimes, or all the time…”. Link to their article in comments.
Haley sampled many more items than us! Mouth is watering from the pics.
