Ample parking. It is seat yourself upon entry. Typical diner food. Our drinks were delivered quickly (cokes and waters). We ordered kids spaghetti which came with a large serving and a side of Texas toast. The sauce was sugary tasting. We also ordered a BLT with avocado which was good. We ordered kids chicken nuggets which was typical fare. The other items were beef sandwiches with sides which were not bad at all. Overall not a bad little spot. Customer service was good. Prices were reasonable. It seems to be a pretty busy place for lunch.

Why in the world hasn't more people written reviews on the place? I know, they were to full too think! I had to wait 7 hours to write mine!!! Family Restaurant is everything you'd expect in a small town. Not much to look at except the food as it passes in front of your noses! Mimi has the cinnamon roll French Toast and order of bacon. "So good you want to slap yo momma"! I must admit , I ate half of one of them and it was delicious. I had my standard 2 eggs over easy with scattered hash browns and pattie sausage. Again, it was delicious! Server was a cute lil lady named Westie. She did a superb job taking care of us. We've stopped a red barn looking place last year but after slow service and not so tasty food, we thought about trying this place! So glad Mimi found it on Yelp. See y'all again on our next trip up 44!
