The Charcoal Oven Restaurant: Golf Road's golden gem!!

The Charcoal Oven Restaurant (http://www.charcoalovenrestaurant.com/) was founded by Phillip Georgouses and is now enjoying an unbelievable resurgence under his daughter Maria and her husband Rich. Phil purchased this wonderful establishment after he returned from WWII and named it "The Charcoal Oven Restaurant (http://www.charcoalovenrestaurant.com/)". The concept is a supper club that has stood the test of time due to the incredible food, service, authenticity and cleanliness. Some of the menu items have changed with the differing and varying food tastes as time has evolved.  Their menu consists of steaks, chops, fresh fish that comes every day, chicken, pistachio (a Greek lasagna), ribs and moussaka (a Greek meat and vegetable casserole) fresh salads with homemade dressings that are made by Sonja  Carlson (a very long time waitress), fresh bread and their homemade cottage fries. All meals include a starter , salad, green vegetable, the entree and the cottage fries. All of the desserts are homemade and truly fresh.

This wonderful gem also has many different beers and wines which will be featured during  various  tastings in the near future. The tasting will allow the public to sample different flavors without having to order a full glass of either the different beers or wines.

Their clientele consists of third generation family members, families with kids and members of the Presbyterian Homes. Maria and Rich are very happy to report that their business is up and booming. Their customers have turned into family and friends which also helps to add to the environment and charm.

Maria and Rich want to thank all of their patrons and customers for their continued business and want to remind everyone that they always provide fresh food that is well made, never frozen and made with tender care.

This beautiful dining room can fit seventy people for any type of event but please call ahead so all of your needs are taken care of for a perfect party.

I had the pleasure of sampling the Greek lamb chops, salad with blue cheese which was outstanding,  asparagus, warm bread, and cottage fries. All of these great offerings were so well flavored, homemade and cooked to absolute perfection. The portions are very plentiful and are flavorful, tasty and well made.

This is a wonderful destination for a supper club experience, dinner with the family, entertaining a client or for a very special event.

As Phil says: "You won't be disappointed!"
