A real American diner, they're getting harder to find. I had breakfast but I want to come back and try lunch. There's an extensive menu of my favorites that I want to try but I'm only here for a couple days

Surprisingly good food and service in a very small town. The prices are very reasonable.

We are here on Wed. 10/24 at 7:45 a.m. It is very close to exit 261 on I-57 in Paxton, IL. Service was friendly and efficient. Corned Beef Hash Skillet was delicious. My husband enjoyed his coffee, 3 eggs, hash browns, and a pancake. Prices were reasonable. We will return when we are in the area.

We stopped in as we drove through town and we're very glad we did! Very good food, great staff and a very nice small town feel. We will be stopping in again if we drive out this way!

Hubby and I love finding diamonds in the rough while traveling. Great food, big portions, friendly owner. Shoutout to Dana and Bri, super friendly waitress's.
I found this restaurant as I was traveling south via I-57. I encourage everyone to exit at Paxton and enjoy breakfast or lunch. My first hint that this would be a great experience was the parking lot was full. Upon entering I could see this was a family restaurant with casual decor and a comfortable feeling. I was immediatedly welcomed by a friendly young man who somehow found me a seat right away and took my drink order. Daily specials are posted on a whiteboard as you enter, and prices looked reasonable. My waitress arrived shortly thereafter with my drink order. I ordered a special of the day, the roast turkey and cream of chicken rice soup. I received the soup right away and was impressed with the taste and texture. It had a creamy base that was not too salty, ample pieces of white chicken meat, and the rice was not mushy. Perfect timing on my servers part, or luck? Just as I finished the soup, my entree arrived. The turkey was real breast meat, not pressed pieces, sliced thick with gravy over the meat and mashed. The gravy was a perfect consistency and also not too salty, the mashed was firm, not runny. The manager stopped by during my meal, and my waitress checked in on me several times. The staff is very friendly and treat you like family. I noticed they all worked hard as a team. I will make it a point to stop here my the next time I'm in the area of Paxton.

What’s not to love about Paxton Family Restaurant? This hometown family restaurant continues to amaze with homestyle cooking and pleasant company. Don’t skip on breakfast or lunch - go to Paxton Family Restaurant and grab them both. You will not regret it.
