To the "young" guy who posted this restaurant is "good for old folks after church ... but not for…read moreyounger people", sounds like he's one of the latter. J.R., I am one of the "old folks" and the fact this is named "The Family Table", should be a clue that it's a place you can bring the little ones, or grandparents if you want a nice quiet meal with "comfort" food. In other words, it's geared to the middle word in its name: FAMILY. Good food at affordable prices, this is not your franchise, get-rich quick set up but a family-owned business just trying to pay the rent and put food on the table (no pun intended). ONE star because you had to get your own condiments? Poor, entitled, Gen-Z-er! Getting your own is exactly what you would do at one of the "younger" venues. ONE star is when they switch your order with the table next to you; when they burn the steak you asked for "rare," or finding a hair in your salad, or your food arrived cold. But because you had to walk 20 feet for a little packet of sugar or bottle of ketchup it's one star? Just how DID the waitress not do her job? Did she ignore you or was it busy, and did you have to wait for your check longer than 10 minutes after your table was cleared? I bet you didn't leave a tip either, did you? You know what, you can give the restaurant a one if the food was reaaaallly bad, small proportions, or the restaurant was dirty. But take that waitress out of this rating. For that, you leave no tip. But you don't get to tie her service this review as one and the same.

They also had potato, macaroni, pea, pasta, and other salads. The hamburger steak and wedge potatoes were very good. The hash browns were great, and my sirloin steak was very good--I added a bit of salt, and it was cooked just as I ordered it. The hot bun was a nice touch. Nice bar and lots of table seating.

My waitress was nice, we had some nice conversation as the evening went into closing hours, but the food was not really what I hoped for. Gizzards were overdone and the "Iowa Cutlet" was just a solid slab of pork, also overdone with barely any flavor. On the plus side land the excellently seasoned and crispy potato wedges and the best grilled veggies I've ever had. Sauced so well. So in the end... I wanted to eat something that felt local.
