The Generous George's Restaurant Space, at 3006 Duke St., is for lease again.
Generous George's closed in 2009 after more than three decades in business as a family restaurant and go-to venue for birthday parties, sports team events and more.
The Yates family worked hard in the late 2010s to build a new, more modern restaurant with rooftop seating with plans to open Yates Pizza Palace. Those plans never came to fruition after Jeffrey Yates passed away in 2018.
In 2021, a company affiliated with Reef Technology applied for a permit to use the property. Reef Technology is a Miami-based company that uses its network of thousands of parking lots and other facilities to open 'neighborhood kitchens' to sell food from brands like TGI Fridays, Wendy's, BurgerFi and David Chang's Fuku," the Washington Business Journal reported at the time. Reef Technology never actually opened in the space.
Now, the property is for lease again. See photos of the interior here.
