Description
Princess Restaurant has been serving fine meals at reasonable prices for four generations.
George Pappas Sr. first acquired ownership in 1939. In the early years, the business existed primarily as a confectionary with homemade candies. A businessman�s special luncheon, consisting of homemade soups, sandwiches, and fountain favorites was also available.
As the years progressed, increased emphasis was placed on serving meals.
In the mid 1940s, George Pappas Jr. joined his father in the restaurant business. It was during this time that additional changes took place. The confectionary candy cases were removed and were replaced with booths and tables for increased dining capacity.
Whether you are a political junkie or not, you will be interested to know that on June 21, 1953 (Father's Day) President Harry Truman and his wife Bess enjoyed dining here. He was passing through Frostburg on his first trip back to Washington DC since leaving the White House in 1952. He stopped at the Princess Restaurant for a lunch. Be sure to check out the Truman Booth when you visit us!
George Jr. and his wife Dorothy became the owners in 1963 and continued to operate the business until 1981. They too made structural changes in the restaurant and expanded the menu offerings as well. The fine homemade candy-making tradition continues exclusively for the Easter season.
George W. Pappas along with his wife Shelia and family are continuing the Pappas tradition of making the Princess Restaurant one of Allegany County�s most popular restaurants.
