An iconic Valley restaurant is celebrating 65 years in business.

Buena Vista Cafe in Warren has been serving the community for more than half a century.

The owner says one of the keys to success is customer service.

"We may not be related, but you're our family when you come here," Owner Nick Frankos said. 

Even throughout the pandemic, business has held up pretty well thanks to the community and one very popular dish.

"The staple that put the bricks in the building is Uncle Nick's Greek Fried Chicken. We sell over 170 tons a year, and that's a lot of chicken. If the colonel had the recipe, he'd be a general," Frankos said. 

The restaurant plans to celebrate the anniversary with customers when it's safe to have everyone back inside.

"Everything's carryout for January. After we get back to regular business, getting people inside the building, we're going do some specials for the 65 years," Frankos said.
