Southern Family Restaurant

We traveled from Virginia to visit a friend in that area and we went out to at Southern Family Restaurant and absolutely loved it. Two of us had Country Fried Steak and both of us agreed it was the best Country Fried Steak we had ever had. A third one of us got the Prime Rib Sandwich and absolutely raved about how good it was. The 4th member of our group got the spaghetti and salad and we all commented about how good they both looked. He assured us it was every bit as good as it looked. Two of us got the banana pudding and loved it. I know different people like banana pudding different ways but to me this was the best banana pudding I've ever had in a restaurant. Finally, I want to praise the wonderful server we had and even the cashier that checked us out. They both truly demonstrated what southern hospitality really is. I live in Virginia so I may not ever get back but I definitely wish I could.

I ordered a fried chicken sandwich and it looked like a piece of fish. Very unappetizing when I first saw it. Way too salty and thin. I have tried your restaurant twice and this will be the last.

Been eating here for years and it's always great food and awesome employees

Our waitress was an absolute doll. She couldn't have been any nicer. My grilled chicken salad was delicious and my husband had jumbo fried shrimp. We both enjoyed our meals very much.

The popcorn shrimp was great and there was alot of it. The rest of our food was ok. Watery coffee, bland codfish, mushy coleslaw, etc.

Southern Family was a real treat. The food was great, the staff were very nice, and the portions were massive. Very, very highly recommend this restaurant. The five of us ordered a little bit of everything and shared so we could try it all. Everything on their menu is excellent. Their seafood menu is huge, too. I think there were about a dozen seafood options. We didn't try them all in one visit, but what we did try was excellent. Even the sides were huge and delicious, of course. We all ate until we were about to pop and had PLENTY of leftovers to take home. All around great place to eat and a great value to boot.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of fruit and vegetable options on the menu.

Parking: Big lot, plenty of spots.

Kid-friendliness: The kids had a good time and there was plenty on the menu they would eat.

Food is great. Would have rated it a 5 but for the comical thimble of tartar I was given for the amount of fish in the plate. It’s almost insulting lol
