Larry and Tikie Kriticos were born and raised in Galveston, Texas. We are first generation Greek Americans. Our father, Gus,
came from the Island of Patmos, Greece and opened the Seawall Cafe

on 17th Street (1946) in Galveston. Our mother Nora's family came from Sparta, Greece.

The Golden Greek Restaurant belonged to our Uncle Paul and Aunt Beaulah Santire. We come from a long line of great Greek Cooking

and a lot of experience in the restaurant industry.

We prepare fresh food daily and have family recipes with hundreds of years of experience.

Of course Roxann and Carolina our respective wives and our children, Gus, Alexis, Kimberly, Tom, Bella, Elle, Michael, Marina, and Kristina 

all give their best to make sure we give you the best quality.
