About Famous Hot Weiner
The Famous Hot Weiner: A Family Tradition Since 1923
The Famous Hot Weiner is one of the oldest family-owned restaurants in York County. We're proud of our long history and the many awards we've won for our great food and service to the community.
Our Story
Nicholas E. Mavros started The Famous Hot Weiner in 1923 — Hanover's first fast food restaurant. By 1928, we were at our current spot on York Street and Broadway. Since then, four generations of our family have run the business:
- 1957 — Nicholas's son E. Tim and his wife Georgia took over.
- 1973 — Grandson Nicholas T. Mavros and son-in-law Pete G. Keriazes opened a second location.
- 1999 — Great-grandsons George P. and Timothy P. Keriazes began running both restaurants.
- 2011 — A third location opened in Spring Grove (now closed).
- 2014 — A new location opened in West York; today the third location.
Four generations. Three locations. One secret family-recipe chili sauce that hasn't changed in over a century.
