Stopped in for breakfast. It was so dirty. Dried food stuck on the wall next to our table, dirty floors, sticky table. Food was average. Service could be better. I agree with another reviewer, where is our health department?

Will come back, if only for the pie lol.

First impression: We parked across the street due to pulling a trailer, like the vehicle near us. The parking lot was pretty full. Parking in front. Table available immediately. Ten tables for four, a single, and one for six. Covered for tables. Cute little Waterloo town historic photos on wall.

Menu is short, easy to read and understand, and laid out well; but plenty of variety. Priced right for the food and portions.

Food was served quickly and served at right temperature.

We ordered: Fried clam strips and sides of onion rings and coleslaw. He thought clam strips were tasty and liked them. I thought they were slightly on the dark side and a bit chewy. Onion rings have a crunchy breading and yellow onions are used. The coleslaw was a unique recipe; instead of mayonnaise, oil was used and pepper added. It was different than regular slaw and we found it really good. (I’m picky about slaw and cringe a little each time I try it someplace new.)
I ordered the Philly cheese steak and slaw. Got to say, perfect amount of meat with mozzarella shredded cheese, small diced onions green pepper and the bread was a treat. I needed mayo on it to moisten it up, and asked for a side of shredded cheese (of which they were very generous about), and voila ! it was an amazing sandwich.
For dessert we ordered cherry pie. It was fantastic. Crust tasted homemade, and though it had canned cherries(of course, a restaurant doesn’t have time to do otherwise!) you would never know it. It was made perfectly and had a sweet crumble topping. More please and thank you!

Service was friendly and she was a good waitress, however we were at lunchtime and she had seven tables. We realized she was busy and felt free to voice our needs, like refills etc. she was good, but couldn’t give 5 stars because she was the only waitress and it was a little too much for her to keep up with the tables AND cashiering.

It is rare I give five stars, so that says something. If you are near here or local, I recommend Family Kitchen.

Walked in at 9:20 am. Only clean table was underneath window ac. Could not get waited on. Waitress serviced table beside me and didn't even acknowledge i was there. Waited ten minutes. Left at 9:30 without being greeted, not served so much as a glass of water. Horrible service. Major Fail.
