The Story of Shake Station

 Andy and Kalliopi Ameres bring decades of experience in the restaurant industry to their new venture, with both of their families owning and operating successful eateries. Andy’s family runs the popular Popi’s Place restaurants in Manatee County while Kalli’s family owns the Frostbite restaurant in Frostproof, FL.

 Shake Station is the former home of the legendary Big L restaurant, an Ellenton institution for generations, known for delicious burgers and other comfort food in a low-key setting. Big L devotees will be happy to see that even the model airplane is quite happy in its new home, and the Shake Station menu features a Big L.T., our version of a B.L.T., in honor of this local legend.
