Stopped traveling from Chicago to Southern Illinois. Crowded restaurant as locals love the place. Big menu so something for everyone. Staff worked together and were very hospitable. Everyone was happy with what they ordered. It was quick also. Wish it was in my hometown.

Our Google GPS took us on a ten minute tour of Paxton (which has a nostalgic downtown) before taking us to the Paxton Family Restaurant which is actually just a few seconds west of the I-57 exit!The building is non- descript from the outside, but the atmosphere inside is small-town warm and friendly. Bree, our server, was quick to offer Specials and advice. I ordered the Italian Beef and fries, because in my experience, it tells a lot about a restaurant. It was very good, REAL beef roast, not some paper-thin slices of processed meat. The beef was tasty, piled high, covered with cheese, and tender. It was one of the best I've had! It was served with au-jus and thick fries.I was also given a big slice of a three layer chocolate cake because it was my birthday!We make the trip to Champaign often and will make the Paxton Family Restaurant a frequent stop! It was everything you hope to find in a rural, home-town restaurant!

The service was great and the staff very friendly. I had the biscuits and gravy, and it was as good, if not better, than any I could have made at home. It was very good!!! The menu is huge with so many choices. People around me seemed to enjoy their food!

I met a friend for brunch. I got the peach and strawberry crepes, which were very good, and the chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and gravy for a to-go order for my daughter, she enjoyed them. My only complaint is that when they gave me the to-go bag, the containers were at an angle, leaking gravy all over. Leaking gravy aside, I will likely bring my family to dine in. The only reason I gave three stars to food is because this was my first time here and we only ordered the two meals.Parking: It looked as if people just put their vehicles wherever they saw fit, whether it was a real parking spot or not.
Twenty plus members of our Bradley Bourbonnais Senior Club took a road trip down I57 to have lunch at Family House. It was well worth the ride. Food, price and service all five star.We had made reservations and were met at the door on arrival. Very welcoming.

Service was amazing our server was very attentive and made us feel welcomed, everyone’s food was sooo good and came out very quickly!! We stopped here based off the reviews and they did not disappoint! Highly recommended, it was pretty loud because it was so packed but definitely don’t let that stop you! The owners are super hospitable and friendly! Certainly enjoyed our meal, the steak, and pancakes had a lot of flavor.
