NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — A smoke-filled dining room forced restaurant goers outside Thursday night.
Stafford fire and rescue units were called to Jimmy the Greek restaurant on Va. 610 in North Stafford about 6:30 p.m. after a fire ignited in an outside dumpster.
No one was injured, but smoke did billow into the building from the outside causing a nuisance, said Stafford Fire and Rescue Department spokesman Mark Doyle.
Two of the three lanes of the westbound portion of Va. 610 were briefly blocked by a sheriff’s deputy while fire crews worked the scene. All emergency personnel wrapped up their work shortly after 7 p.m.
Jimmy the Greek restaurant is an institution in Stafford County, around since 1979 serving Greek, American and Italian foods.
