The Majestic


Monday, June 15 RSVP by June 12 The Majestic Cafe is as old as the George Washington Masonic Memorial and as new as the 21st century. old_majesticThe original Majestic Cafe was founded by John Gadonas in 1932 at 622 King Street. He opened the New Majestic Cafe here at 911 King Street in 1949. Mr. John, as he was called, altered the building to enlarge the space, added an Art Deco façcade, and outfitted the New Majestic Cafe with the latest restaurant equipment and furnishings. The Gadonas family closed the restaurant in 1978, but kept the building, hoping to reopen someday. That hope became a reality when a group of local investors refurbished and reopened the Majestic Cafe in 2001. The Art Deco façcade is original to The Majestic. Two outside neon signs that were the building’s signature were rebuilt, including one running 25 feet to the rooftop. A third sign, carried over from the original Majestic in 1932, remains in perfect working order and hangs once again inside the front window.
