Celebrate Greek Independence - March 27 and March 28

TWO nights of authentic Greek cuisine

Friday, March 27 & Saturday, March 28 from 3pm – 10pm

Join Charlie and the Citrus City Grille family as we celebrate Greek Independence Day with two days of authentic Greek cuisine, culture, and Mediterranean flavors.

Greek Independence Day is officially celebrated on March 25, marking the beginning of Greece’s fight for freedom in 1821 after nearly 400 years of Ottoman rule. It’s a day filled with national pride, parades, music, and—of course—incredible food shared with family and friends.

At Citrus City Grille, Charlie is bringing the flavors of his heritage to life with a special menu inspired by the dishes and traditions of Greece.
