Mr. and Mrs. George Roussos opened their first restaurant in Mobile
in 1954. Sons John and Jimmy joined them to open the first Roussos
Restaurant on Battleship Parkway in 1973. Sadly it was completely
destroyed by Hurricane Frederick in 1979. The Roussos family pulled
together and relocated to Fort Conde Village next to the Fort Conde
Welcome Center in downtown Mobile. In 2004 Roussos Restaurant moved
to join the Eastern Shore Centre in Spanish Fort, Alabama.
The family has created a lively nautical environment to showcase
their memorabilia highlighting the family's restaurant history
and Greek heritage. Every area of the restaurant is available for
viewing and customers are encouraged to enjoy the many photographs,
awards and letters of appreciation. Tours are given of the dining
areas and kitchen at all times.
Until his death in January of 2000, Mr. George was active in the
restaurant he loved and founded with his sons. He was the first
to arrive most mornings. Today his sons John and Jimmy and daughter
Georgia handle the day-to-day operations and carry on the proud
family tradition.
The Roussos' family philosophy is to welcome each customer into
the restaurant as they would welcome a guest in their home. A member
of the Roussos family is usually present and ready to serve you.
Roussos will cater any event from 100 to 10,000. From Mobile to
Memphis, they will travel to your location and serve the best food
you've ever eaten cooked on site!
The Roussos family encourages you to enjoy the Mobile Bay area
and its many attractions. Tour buses are always
welcomed.
Other
key members of our restaurant family are: Mary
Myers, Carl Moore, Guenther and Emanuel Theris.
