A restaurant that’s been a longtime staple in the Forest Hills community is up for sale.
Drew’s Family Restaurant has been listed by Century 21 Fairways for an asking price of $1.5 million. The listing describes it as a turnkey restaurant.
The Ardmore Boulevard eatery was opened by Spiro Countouris as Dennis Diner in 1948. A family establishment, it was renamed to Drew’s to honor Andrew Countouris, who died of a coronary embolism at age 21 in 1982. His three surviving brothers — Louis, Peter and Jerry — renamed the place in 1985.
It was known for its homemade breakfasts, fresh ground burgers, soups and desserts.
The restaurant was sold to Logan Caswell, a chef from North Huntingdon, in 2019.
The 3,719 square-foot, 138-seat restaurant includes outdoor dining and a basement that houses the break room and employee lounge.
The restaurant’s owners posted a statement on Facebook Tuesday afternoon.
“We have, with heavy hearts, put the restaurant up for sale,” they wrote in the post. “We will remain open and ready to serve our customers until we find new owners to pass the torch along to.”
