Where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came...
One of Downtown’s not so best kept secrets...
Clearwater FL, December 31, 2008 - Angie’s Restaurant, located on the corner of Myrtle and Cleveland St. has been serving Clearwater delicious home cooked meals for over 35 years.
Angie Chaconas, who took over the diner in the 70’s, gave the restaurant to her son Louis roughly 11 years ago. “Yes, I own it,” states Louis. “But Mom’s still in charge.” Retirement planning does not exist for Angie Chaconas who proudly expressed that she finds joy in hard work. With so much to do in running a restaurant, and making sure each customer is served a hot homeâcooked meal, leaving with a full belly and a smile of their face; happiness at Angie’s is not in short supply.
Prior to the Myrtle Ave. and Cleveland Streetscape construction project (3 years ago), Angie’s Restaurant was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, with the rerouting of traffic away from Cleveland Street and road closures, less customers came and Angie’s Restaurant reduced their hours; closing at 3:00pm. Now that the construction is over and Downtown Clearwater is seeing increased traffic, popular demand from customers warranted the decision to increase the restaurant hours to stay open until 8:00pm. “There used to be a time…” Angie
reflected, “The foot traffic was so heavy with so many people coming in to eat I had to pass out numbers in front of the restaurant for people to sit down and eat.”
In support of the City of Clearwater’s vision of a thriving downtown where people can live, work and play, Angie’s staff welcomes customers new and old. So, if you like a good breakfast, lunch or dinner, try out Angie’s. You can get breakfast all day, Eggs, Pancakes and Bacon for $3.95. Of course they serve all types of foods like Hamburgers, Philly Cheese Steaks, Hot Dogs, Italian Dishes, Seafood, Soups/Salads, Steaks, Pork Chops and more.
Although Angie’s is not a drive-through fast food restaurant, they can accommodate you if you’re in a hurry, just call ahead and place your order. You’ll always get good down-to-earth, hot home-cooked meals and service with a smile.
