Family Table Restaurant

"Food was alright, didn't care for the biscuits and gravy but that's just a personal thing, everything was good plenty of it. Service totally made up for what the food lacked and not to many places can say that. Very friendly server."

"My husband and I stopped in for an early supper. Our waitress was the best that I've ever had. Don't know her name, but if you yell HEY LADY! she'll know who this is."

"This is a location of a regionally owned set of restaurants in northwest iowa. Currently, at the time of this review, there are 16 locations total, however, not all of them are called “Family Table”. Place seemed clean and kept up. No tables with dirty tops or dirty dishes on them. So tables must be cleaned quickly after people leave. Was able to be seated right away. Plenty of room. Staff kept up with ordering, drinks etc. Fries were great. Fresh and hot. As good as my burger looks in the pictures, it somehow lacked flavor. I got the Grizzly which is topped with bacon, shaved ham, melted shredded cheese & drizzled with homemade Apple BBQ sauce on a warm pretzel bun. Sounds and looks amazing. I got it because it was a temporary item and went over so well that they added it to the menu. But again, with all those flavors, it just didn’t seem to pop for me. Just seemed bland. The BBQ sauce was either made very runny, or it was diluted with the juices of the meat, as it was very runny… like watery runny. While I ate my fries, the bottom of the bun soaked up all the watery sauce, and the bun was quite soggy by the time I got to it. So I likely wouldn’t get this burger again, but much of it could be due to the nature of the beast, by what all is going into it. Place itself is worth another trip, and I saw some other meals I’d like to try. Just not sure if I’m a fan of what I got this time. Over all a good experience, just wasn’t excited about this particular order/meal, but I’m willing to go back and give some other items a try."

"$12 only gets you a half chicken breast, small green beans and rice I didn't order. Had to ask for silverware, ordered cottage cheese, never got it but was charged for it. Asked for vinegar and oil salad dressing and was told they didn't have vinegar so I had to eat my salad without dressing because I'm diabetic and can't eat the dressing they offer. Chicken breast was extremely thin and very dry. Not a good experience here and I won't return..."

"My family and I always enjoy our time at Family Table. The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is very family friendly, the staff is polite, the food is good, and the prices are ok. I'm a picky eater so I always tend to make substitutions in my meals and they never get it wrong. I ordered a Prime Rib Melt on marble rye with sweet potato fries and we ordered fried pickles for an appetizer."
