Howland Township's Favorite Family Restaurant
Right here in Howland Township since 1987. Award-winning burgers, all-day breakfast, and authentic Greek food at 1939 Niles-Cortland Rd — the heart of the community.
A Howland Township Institution
Raptis Family Restaurant has been a cornerstone of Howland Township since 1987. Located at 1939 Niles-Cortland Rd — right on Route 46, about 10 minutes from Eastwood Mall and a short drive from Cortland — we have been feeding Howland families for nearly four decades and counting.
Route 46 is the spine of Howland Township, running from the I-80 Turnpike corridor all the way into Warren. Raptis sits squarely in the middle of that commercial stretch, which means we are the easiest stop for residents coming or going from practically anywhere in the township. Before your Eastwood Mall run, after your Cortland Walmart trip, or on the way back from a morning appointment in Warren — we are right there on Niles-Cortland Road waiting for you.
Eastwood Mall draws shoppers from across Trumbull County, and for many of them Raptis is a natural part of the trip. A plate of eggs and toast before the stores open, or a Tiger Burger after a few hours of shopping — our location five minutes from the mall makes that kind of routine easy. Free parking, quick seating, and generous portions mean you are in and out without losing half your day.
We are a true cash-only, family-run establishment — no chains, no corporate menus. Every dish is made fresh daily using the same family recipes we have used since we opened our doors in Howland Township over 38 years ago. An ATM is available on-site for your convenience.

What Howland Township Comes Back For
Three things have kept Howland Township coming through our doors for nearly 40 years.
Award-Winning Burgers
The Howland Tiger Burger is our most famous creation — a massive half-pound patty named for Howland Township itself, loaded with bacon, cheese, mushrooms, grilled onions, and our signature sauce.

Pancakes, eggs, omelets, and the famous Raptis Special — available from open to close, every day. Howland Township's go-to breakfast spot for nearly four decades.
See Breakfast Menu →Authentic Greek Food
Gyros, Greek omelets, and Greek salads made from family recipes. Howland Township's only authentic Greek restaurant, serving traditional flavors since 1987.

If you have spent any time in Howland Township, you know that Howland High School is more than a building — it is the heart of the community. Howland Tigers football, basketball, wrestling, and track draw families and fans from across the township to Harmon Field and the HHS gymnasium season after season. Raptis Family Restaurant has always been part of that rhythm.
Our Howland Tiger Burger was not named by accident. That half-pound monster loaded with bacon, cheddar, mushrooms, grilled onions, and our house sauce is a direct nod to the school just up the road on Niles-Cortland Road. Student-athletes, coaches, parents, and alumni have been coming through our door for nearly 40 years. Pre-game breakfasts before a Saturday tournament, a late morning meal after a morning practice — Raptis has seen it all.
Howland High School is just minutes north of our location on Niles-Cortland Road, making us the most convenient sit-down meal in either direction. We have fed senior breakfast groups, team dinners, and more graduation-day families than we can count. If your family's schedule revolves around Howland Tigers athletics or school events, our hours — 6 AM to 3 PM weekdays, 6 AM to 2 PM Saturdays — fit naturally around morning practices, weekend tournaments, and midday school events.
We are proud to be the neighborhood restaurant for a community that takes its schools and its sports seriously. The Tiger Burger is on the menu every single day — because Howland Township deserves a burger worth the name.
Raptis & the Howland Community
- The Tiger Burger: Our signature half-pound burger named for the Howland High School Tigers — the most ordered item on our menu.
- Game Day Mornings: Howland Township turns out in green and white on game days — and we are right here for the pre-game breakfast or Saturday morning fuel-up.
- Howland High School: Located just minutes north on Niles-Cortland Road — the natural gathering spot for families before and after school events.
- Almost 40 Years Together: We opened in 1987 — the same year many current Howland parents were in grade school. That kind of history means something.
