For the first time in more than a year, George Lois is seeing familiar faces.
Regular diners are returning to his Gilligan’s Bar & Grill restaurants in Lower Paxton, Swatara and Hampden townships.
“It was nice to see them. Finally, after they get the vaccines two weeks later they had the courage to come out and have a meal,” he said.
“I see a future ahead. I think we are going to be OK. We learn to live with it,” he added.
As COVID-19 mitigation restrictions loosen for Pennsylvania’s restaurant industry starting April 4, owners like Lois are optimistic they will see an uptick in diners pulling up bar chairs and sitting at tables and booths in the coming weeks. They say pent-up demand, additional stimulus money and administration of more vaccines is fueling confidence among diners.

After a fire gutted the original blue painted steakhouse in 2012, the Sgagias vowed to rebuild.
“The sports bar is not very wild or loud. I wanted something more upscale,” said George Sgagias, who has owned and operated this eatery since 1987. He has kept all of the recipes the same, including homemade soups, crab cakes, assorted steaks and even the ham steak and sub sirloin. “Before the 50% mandate, we had a long waiting line out the door,” he said.
