George Lewis first opened the George Lewis Cafe in 1913. On Monday, November 21st, 1938 an enlarged and renovated restaurant, located in the new Central Bus Depot Building at 501 SW Taylor in downtown held its grand opening. The restaurant served thousands of people including hurried travelers, busy business men and women and diners who just wanted a special meal out.
The George Lewis Cafe soon became the largest and busiest restaurant in Portland. The Cafe had over 100 employees at one time, which was the largest number in the city. There would be long lines to eat at the cafe, while people waited for their buses to arrive and depart. The cafe was noted for the delicious homemade style food and friendly atmosphere.
