Panagiota's Taste of Greece - A Family Legacy in Every Bite

From Humble Beginnings to a Brick-and-Mortar Dream

Back in 2021, long before food trucks became the norm in rural Jefferson County, Panagiota's Taste of Greece began its journey as a simple food truck. This wasn’t just any food truck—it was a labor of love, bringing the rich flavors of Greece to a community that had yet to experience its magic. It all started with a vision to share the vibrant tastes of Panagiota’s homeland with her newfound friends in West Virginia. Little did anyone know that this small venture would grow into something truly remarkable.

Our Signature Dish: Spanakopita Extravaganza

Let me tell you about one of our most beloved creations—a dish that truly represents the heart and soul of Panagiota’s kitchen. Picture this: a harmonious blend of five different cheeses—imported feta, creamy farmer cheese, cottage cheese, ricotta, and smooth cream cheese—all perfectly seasoned with fresh dill and a touch of milk. This masterpiece is then wrapped in delicate layers of flaky filo dough and baked to perfection. Each bite is a celebration of flavors that will transport you straight to the sun-drenched islands of Greece.

A Family Legacy in Every Bite

Panagiota’s Taste of Greece isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a testament to the power of family and tradition. For those who remember John’s Café & Grill, you might recognize the name behind the legacy—Panagiota is none other than John’s mother. At 99 years young, she still resides on the breathtaking Greek island of Karpathos, where her passion for cooking began over a century ago. Her recipes, passed down through generations, form the backbone of our menu, offering a taste of Greece that’s as authentic as it gets.
