Williamsburg, VA

In 1968 when the restaurant was opened, it was owned by John Baganakis, Owner/Manager, and by Steve and Chrysa Sacalis, husband and wife. John chose the name “MAMA STEVE’S House of Pancakes” to honor Mrs. Sacalis, and perhaps for the attention that a catchy name might get. At that time, the Sacalises, first-generation Greeks, were seventy-nine and eighty years old and John, second-generation Greek, was only twenty-seven years old. Steve and Chrysa operated their successful restaurant, so they never worked at “MAMA STEVE’S House of Pancakes.” Their daughter, Betsy Sacalis and Julie Wright, John’s sister, were hostesses at “MAMA STEVE’S House of Pancakes” for a short time when the restaurant first opened.
