Our Mom Eugenia stays afloat in Great Falls as it waits out the pandemic
Our Mom Eugenia, Great Falls, Va.

The pandemic has not been easy for Our Mom Eugenia in Great Falls: the Greek restaurant, which relied almost entirely on indoor, dine-in service prior to the pandemic, has had to adjust to a new business model and decreased sales. But to the owners’ relief, the business is “making ends meet” as it opens a new location in Fairfax.

Lead Chef and “Our Mom” Eugenia Hobson opened the restaurant in Great Falls with her sons, Alex and Phil, in 2016. Now, the restaurant’s sales are down by around 35 percent from pre-pandemic levels. The owners attribute this decrease in part to their older demographic of regular patrons who are hesitant to dine indoors.
