A New Era for Lundy’s Restaurant, Regaining the Glory of Yesteryear
It was announced in November that the Brooklyn Landmark
restaurant “Lundy Brothers Restaurant” or commonly known as
“Lundy’s Restaurant”, once the largest restaurant in the United
States, has changed ownership.
The former owners of Lundy’s Restaurant were a publicly traded
company by the name of Tam Restaurants, Inc ( OTC:TAMR ). From
reports and articles that were published, Tam Restaurants faced
several downfalls one of which was Lundy’s Restaurant. The
quality of food suffered at Lundy’s and the customers were
driven away.
With the new owners and operators in place, “The Players Club”,
a family owned business that is run by Mrs. Afrodite
Dimitroulakos, a veteran of the restaurant industry, the image
of Lundy’s is about to change for the better.
With the new Executive Chef Russell Guarneri whipping together
magnificent cuisine, Lundy’s has received raves from both new
customers and customers that were driven away by the former
operators. The reputation that was acquired over the past few
years was negative, Lundy’s used to be a tradition for
Brooklynites since 1934, when the doors were shut for 17 years
and then reopened by Tam Restaurants, Inc , the customers came
back. They were proud that the world famous Brooklyn Landmark
had opened it’s heavy doors once more.
Though it was half the size, seating over 700 instead of 2,400,
customers still recalled the restaurants glory when they
witnessed people waiting in line around the corner just to sit
and eat at this great restaurant.
Now under new ownership and management, the family owned
“Players Club” dba Lundy Brothers Restaurant has all intentions
of bringing this glorious Brooklyn Landmark back to where it
belongs.
They plan on bringing back those loyal customers and
reintroducing them to the glory of Lundy’s, they plan on
attracting new customers that will be able to call Lundy’s their
tradition.
According to “The Players Club”, “Lundy’s deserves better than
it has received, this is an historic place, families made this
their tradition year in and year out, we want to let the
Brooklyn Community know that we have full intentions of bringing
Lundy’s back to it’s former glory, we invite them to come down
and judge for themselves” stated Dimitroulakos.
She went on to also say “We even want to invite the Brooklyn
newspapers and television news reporters to see for themselves
the progress that we are making and will continue to make, we
are not just doing this for our immediate family but also for
our extended Brooklyn family. We live in Brooklyn, raised our
children in Brooklyn and are excited that we have an opportunity
to make a positive impact on our community.”
Their catering business is growing, they offer several different
packages for weddings, corporate events, business gatherings,
luncheon’s, and brunch. If you haven’t been to Lundy’s before
then it’s your chance to get acquainted with them, if you have
been to Lundy’s before then get reacquainted with them. Walk in
and shake hands with the owners, sit by the clam bar and talk to
one of the many “Brooklyn Historians” that work at Lundy’s like
Drew who runs the clam bar, or Chris who is a member of the
Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and a walking Brooklyn reference
book. You can even meet the Exec Chef Russell Guarneri and see
what new cuisine he has on tap for the night.
You can even just come to sit at the bar on a Saturday night,
meet some new people and enjoy some clams. Come on a Sunday for
brunch and watch the game on the televisions above the bar.
This is a new era for Lundy’s and with support from the Brooklyn
Community the Brooklyn Landmark that is also known as a
“Brooklyn Tradition” to most, can be brought back to it’s glory.
