Cute, small, home town restaurant.We looked at the menu before coming and it listed a salad bar, however it wasn't open when we arrived, but they did make us a great salad upon request.Was a bit noisy, hard to hear people at our own table. We had 3 adults and 2 children order and our bill was $60 so average cost.They do not take cards! So have cash.The food was pretty standard. Friendly staff.

Excellent home style cooking. Friendly people and excellent service. We stopped by on a Sunday. They had a buffet with many options. Included a drink and dessert. Can't beat the price. It's for normal people who like good home style cooking. Not for anyone thinking it's some trendy hip place.

Low effort and poor quality. Grilled porkchop was overcooked and tasted of grill grease. Came with run of the mill powdered mashed potatoes and green beans straight out of the can. Mac and cheese was inedible. Just once I'd like to see a restaurant owner sit down and eat a plate of the food service slop they are so eager to turn to these days.

This is an easy 5 stars, without even thinking. If you're anywhere close on a Sunday their buffet is probably the best in Southern Illinois. I haven't been to all of them so maybe shouldn't say that but can confidently say it's in top 5 and probably is the best. They commonly have ham, meatloaf, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, baked beans, green beans, and on and on in the buffet. Plus has a salad bar and dessert bar that both comes with it! Just absolutely awesome. You will not go home hungry and everything is top notch.

My daughter's and their daughters and one's husband and my Momma ate at Farris's Family Restaurant, today. Everyone enjoyed the food and had so much fun with each other. The employees were great! We really appreciate everything. Thank you so much for the hospitality and the patience!
My wife and I will be moving to the area, and we stopped in for breakfast. Kelsie was our server and she made us feel at home. The place was clean, service and food were both very good. We will be regular customers after our move.
