Customer Reviews

"We stopped for lunch after a great day exploring the nearby Reed Gold Mine. The restaurant was impressively clean and nicely decorated. We were greeted immediately by a very friendly and smiling hostess and shown to our table (booth). We ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries, the fish sandwich with coleslaw, and two iced teas. We found the food to be fresh and well made but it appeared to be devoid of any kinds of seasoning. Lack of salt/pepper in the burger resulted in a rather bland meal with very little flavor. The fish appeared (looked) to be seasoned but had very little flavor even though it was perfectly cooked, hot and flaky. The fries were fantastic (after we added salt) and the coleslaw was happily reminiscent of KFC's coleslaw. Our server, Deborah, could not have been nicer and exuded southern charm. She was attentive, personable, and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. Although the meal was not all that remarkable, Deborah was. We'd go back just for her. I wanted banana pudding badly but my waistline did not. Prices were very reasonable and the menu was surprisingly vast. Meal would've hit the mark nicely had the sandwiches been seasoned a bit more."

"Great family restaurant. Very nicely decorated and clean. We stopped in late afternoon just before dinner hours and it was filling up just as we were leaving. They have a robust menu with fresh soup and daily specials to suit every diners needs. We ordered the crab cakes and fried flounder filet as our entree and both were very good. Each dinner entree comes with a choice of two sides to choose from for that day. We got Cole slaw and banana pudding for ours that were excellent. The fries were nothing special. Of course we had to order a dessert to take home. The chocolate layer cake was divine. The menu options available, booth seating available and efficient friendly service makes this a perfect family restaurant."

"Cute little resturant! I enjoyed the buffalo chicken wrap with squash. We held my dad's birthday party here. I called ahead and reserved for 24. We were placed in a room to ourselves and doors that could be closed. Will try this place again!"

"We found 200 North Family Restaurant while exploring, and Google Maps suggested it. I had the meatball sub with zucchini on the side. I'd have preferred the zucchini grilled, but that's just my personal taste, so no problem there. The tea was good and fresh! My wife had some kind of salad that she said was great. Probably a Chef Salad. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. That's important! One small note: the keep a nice garden out front that's well tended and pretty with no weeds to be seen. I appreciated it. When I see a shabby garden, I assume the kitchen will be poorly kept and we eat somewhere else, so thank you!"

"We pass this place all the time, finally a Saturday morning without the kids. Very clean, very nice atmosphere. Whyatt was awesome, what a respectful and attentive young man. Omelets were huge, hashbrowns crispy perfect, grits are creamy and the toast was well buttered. Cant wait to stop back in for breakfast."
