BRANDON, Fla. — George Manaroulas was raised on the Greek island of Karpathos, where he learned a very important skill: hospitality.
"It's what every Greek loves," he says. "We like making our customers feel like family."
WATCH: A&G Diner in Brandon blends American and Greek comfort food for the community
George just brought that island ethic to Brandon, opening the new A&G Diner (120 N Parsons Ave, Brandon) — those letters standing for American and Greek.
He serves delicious, affordable comfort food, from spanakopita and saganaki flaming cheese — oh, and a massive Greek salad piled sky-high with gyro meat — to cheeseburgers and omelettes.
Open Tuesday through Sunday, and serving up breakfast all day, the A&G Diner is all about community and feeding new friends and neighbors.
