I read a previous review and the reviewer complimented Shirley. A coworker said it was a good place to eat. So we tried it. Our server was Shirley. She did not disappoint. We received our food rather quickly. It was hot and good. If ever in the area again, we would go back. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning. First table we went to sit at we were told was ready to go but the table had not been wiped down so we moved to another one. The place is bright and friendly with what appeared to be many regular patrons. Our server was nice and helpful. I ordered an omelette with a hotcake and he got two eggs over easy with goetta. Our meal came with toast too. We ordered rye and whole wheat. Candidly, the food didn't have any flavor. The potatoes were the most bland. My veggie omelette had large sliced vegetables inside vs smaller pieces. The huge hotcake was thick and I'm guessing that's the difference between a hotcake and a pancake. It was good but not great. Glad we stopped by. Atmosphere very nice, service was great. We won't return due to the food. Just not good, no flavor. read more

Decent breakfast spot if you're in a pinch--whether for time or distance. We were really impressed with their goetta, and I loved that you can substitute it for other breakfast meats in most entrées. A couple notes I'd share with the restaurant: the entrée prices feel a bit high, and the gravy was unfortunately too thick and under-seasoned for our taste. I'd definitely give this place another try, but I wouldn't order the gravy again. They also missed one of our entrées, so my daughter didn't get her food until about 18 minutes after everyone else. The ambiance is cozy and no-frills, giving that classic local diner feel. The service was extremely friendly, and you can tell they have a solid base of regulars who enjoy eating here. read more

The food is home cooking at its finest! They serve big portions so you won't leave hungry. I will most definatly return for some more great food! read more

If you go to this restaurant bring a sweater. Every time I've been here it's been freezing. I ordered a double-decker, switched out chips for fries which cost me over five dollars to do and a Diet Coke. My meal ended up being $30. The food is really good and we always have leftovers for the next day. The fries were a little bit overdone and even the server commented about it, but didn't offer to switch them out. read more

Ft Wright Family Restaurant - Double decker - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Wright, Kentucky

This restaurant has been around for a long time. It changed owners several years ago. The food is basic. I have had breakfast and lunch there and the food is always good. Their prices seem a bit much for a small restaurant but other than that I have no complaints. The people are very friendly too. read more

Friday afternoon my granddaughter's boyfriend and I had decided we wanted to so we went to the Fort Wright family diner. The price was outstanding. The food was delicious and a service you couldn't ask for any better! I would recommend it and he and I will be going back soon. The facility was very clean and very neat. read more

Great breakfast great people. Mom and pops type of place. Biscuits and gravy are the go to.

Service was terrible. Server rude and was talking to people for 10 minutes before asking what we wanted to drink. She dropped our straws then went to help several other guests with more hot water and drink refills then back to her customers she was chatting with before. 10 minutes later before she brought our drinks I'd had enough and left. Looking for restaurants in the area because my daughter just moved to the area I was hoping it would be good but ended up leaving and going to Frischs. Very disappointed. Won't be back. One star because zero isn't an option. read more

We went for breakfast and it was Ana ing. Fresh, hot and made to order yumminess. Service was great. Definitely recommend .

We were greeted immediately when we walked in and was assisted with putting two tables together to accommodate our party of 5. We ordered breakfast. I ordered waffle, scrambled egg and potatoes. All food was really good and nice sized portions. Waffle was good. The staff was really polite. Food was hot. If we drive back through town we will stop by. read more

It had been a very long time since we were to this gem of a diner so it was high time we came back. We have raved about their burgers in the past and my wife got another great one on this occasion. I myself went in the breakfast direction with what they called "The Feast". It came with 2 eggs (over medium for me), home fries, toast, and a falf order of all breakfast meats (goetta, sausage patty, bacon, and smoked sausage.) The eggs and toast were fine as was the home fries. The meats were definitely the stars for me particularly the goetta and smoked sausage. It was definitely a filling and delicious breakfast. The service was great and the restaurant was no frills as far as appearance but very clean. The price point is very affordable as well. This restaurant continues to impress. read more

Was this place gourmet? No. But it's everything it promises to be. Cheap and good. I had a special that was a BLT, fries, and a drink for $8.50. My husband got a double decker based on someone else's review and he loved it. Don't skip on the tater tots. They also serve breakfast all day which instantly endears me to any restaurant. The service was excellent - are waitress was very friendly, attentive, and offered great suggestions on the menu. read more

Used to eat here a lot when I lived about 2 blocks away, but it had been quite a while, so we thought we would try it again. Small town vibe here and a nice place to get breakfast or lunch. Wife had a cheeseburger and fries. I had heard a lot about their BLTs which is my favorite sandwich. It comes in two sizes, a regular double decker for 9 bucks and a large one with a full pound of bacon. I opted for the smaller one with a bowl of loaded potato soup and a salad. That was more than enough to fill me up and I still had to take half the sandwich home. It was perfect and one of the best BLTs I have had in years. Service by Vasoula was very friendly and attentive, even though she was really busy. They are also known for their double deckers. Prices are reasonable, the food is great and service is usually on point. That spells 5 stars to me. We hope to return soon. read more

Tried this place based on a recommendation from our local UPS store front desk guy in fort Thomas. He loves this place and now we can be added to that list. Friendly and fast service with large Portions and hot and flavorful food.... Well that's definitely a run on sentence.. waitress was friendly and gave recommendations- which I love - I got the breakfast platter and he got the Reuben sandwich. I added onions and cheese and peppers to my potatoes and when I requested well done, she told me that it's wasn't a problem.... Who doesn't LOvE a restaurant that will go the extra mile and they delivered as those potatoes were amazing!! As were the eggs... not loving eggs right now just the protein they provide but these were good enough that I ate them all. The French toast was what I was craving and it was good! With the Reuben he enjoyed it but was pretty standard and it was delivered hot hot hot, which was awesome... It's a small hike for us but we will be back for sure.. read more

I was on a trip and made an effort to try a new place every day. So this was day 2. It's in the middle of a large shopping plaza/office park. It doesn't look like much on the outside, and honestly, it's not spectacular on the inside. But what matters is the coffee and the food. Both were excellent, and it's definitely a place I'd tell others to check out. Of all the places I went to in the area, this is the only place I could not finish my food. I got the standard breakfast special, which was 2 eggs, home fries, sausage, and pancakes. I did my best to finish it, but I just didn't have it in me. The coffee was good and strong like I liked it. The only downside was that I only had 2 cups of coffee and would have had more if she had come around more often. In her defense, it was pretty busy, and it was just 1 other girl serving. From the looks of it, it's a local favorite. Get there early as it probably gets packed there. read more

Great breakfast spot! Got the French toast breakfast and everything came out piping hot and my goetta extra crispy, just the way I like it. My daughter got the biscuits and gravy breakfast with eggs and goetta and loved her selection. Great prices, great service, quick order and fast, fresh and hot food! read more

Ft Wright Family Restaurant - French Toast Breakfast with fried eggs and goetta - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Wright, Kentucky

A perfect place for diner driveins and dives. Everyone know everybody. The place was filled with regulars and the staff is so sweet. They are open until 3 and serve breakfast and lunch and everything looks very good. I ordered the BLT double decker which was one of the best I have had. Bacon was crisp and bread toasted perfectly. The only downside was out of goetta. read more

I walked out of First Watch this morning after being ignored for literally 15 minutes, until I started talking to the next table. I arrived here ready to cry and starving. I was seated immediately, and had my order taken quickly. Everyone was so lovely. I couldn't finish the stack of pancakes the size of my face. The staff gave me advice for what to order next time (a smaller order and sub one pancake for the toast) so it fit my needs better. The food isn't fancy. This is a down home diner that makes classic American food. My only regret is that I forgot they had goetta! I've been here before, sometimes there is a bit of a wait because there's a line out the door. I'm really glad I got there when there wasn't a line. But they typically move pretty dang fast, even if there is a line. I'm so glad I came here when my other breakfast plans didn't work out. read more

Ft Wright Family Restaurant - 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, and pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Wright, Kentucky

I stopped by with a group of 6 of us total for lunch. The restaurant is very cozy and reminds you of a diner style from back in the day. We had an excellent waitress who was very kind and helpful. She made suggestions of her favorites which I always appreciate. We had two kids with us under the age of 6 and she was friendly and kind with them. The food was delicious! I ordered the Turkey club double decker which was one of the best double deckers I've ever had. They pile the turkey on high and crisp the bacon up really nicely. I was quite a fan of the tater tots as well as they were seasoned perfectly. Come expecting solid diner style food and you won't be disappointed. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back! read more

What a friendly little diner. The staff seem to know most of their customers. We love to come in on the rare occasions we go out for breakfast. It never disappoints. Today we had BLTs and fries - omg YUM! The fries were especially good! And the breakfasts are always great too! read more

My parents have enjoyed breakfasts here for years but when they brought me during a visit home... I was just really unimpressed. It's a very casual family diner in a small strip mall. We came early on a Sunday morning and had our pick of tables. It's clean and lacking in any charm - it's basic. Which can be fine if the food is good. This wasn't. My order of "eggs scrambled with cheese" resulted in a cheese omelet swimming in a pool of butter. The potatoes my mother recommended as a specialty were just fried under-seasoned potatoes. Nothing special about them at all. My father's eggs were swimming in a similar puddle of butter. Bacon was both overcooked and undercooked - truly an affront to bacon. None of us ate very much. My parents seem to think this was an "off day" and I certainly hope so. This place has been around forever and it can't have stayed open that long serving food like what we received. I sure hope this visit was an anomaly ... but my impression is that the Ft. Wright Family Restaurant has taken "greasy spoon" much too literally. Hard pass. read more

We had breakfast there today- first time in a long time- the biscuits were disgusting. I literally took a bite and spit it out into my napkin. The eggs were fine. The toast was burnt. The hashbrowns were fine. Nothing spectacular but fine. But the worst part of the entire experience was a loudmouth waitress, who embarrassed an older couple. The older couple apparently had forgot to order french fries with her hamburgers. When they got their hamburgers, they ask where the fries. They either didn't know that fries didn't come with it or they forgot to order them. Either way doesn't matter the waitress very loudly says well you didn't order french fries. If you had wanted french fries you should've ordered them. I'll get you some french fries but I can't read your mind if you want something. You have to order it. It really embarrassed the older couple and they sat there the rest of their meal, embarrassed, and not say a word. read more

Solid American diner. Super friendly staff, generous portions, and clean well lit interior. Easy access from the highway. I'd go back.

Food: basic and plain. Got a breakfast sandwich and home fries. Bread was soggy and the cheese wasn't melted. Home fries are just mushy potatoes cooked on a grill. No seasoning, onions, garlic, etc. they were gross. Service: our server was nice! We did wait quite a while for someone to come to our table but otherwise, can't complain. They charge 4% fee to use your card. I get very frustrated when customers are charged fees in addition to the cost of food and service. However, that's just a personal preference, this may not bother you. For these reasons, we won't be back. read more

The service was a little slow, but in their defense, three people were all they had covering tables. The food came out very hot, and the breakfast plate was very full.

I'm a fan! We are here for the first time today and WILL be coming back. Country breakfast at is best. My omelet was fantastic. My wife ordered the Special and it was enough to feed both of us. Not only were the portions amazing, it tasted great. Best bacon I've had in a long time. Reasonably priced as well. Service was very good. Miss Brandy worked hard.

Super busy Saturday morning, but there was a table for 2 in the corner that Hubby and I could snag quickly! Menu had all the usual breakfast suspects, but we both enjoy Biscuits and Gravy, so that's what we went for. The platter came with eggs and meat of choice, so Hubby ordered scrambled eggs and sausage patties, and I don't do eggs, so just got the large Biscuits and Gravy. 2 decent sized Biscuits and a bowl full of Gravy on the side. My husband's scrambled eggs were not the fluffy kind, but were flat and folded like an omelet. Sausage patties were small, very cooked, and dry. Gravy had bits of sausage, but mostly bland, sans flavor. Now, to be fair, we are not from around here, and what I'm finding is that no one really likes spice in the NKY, but even the Tabasco on the table was watered down, probably not to try to stretch a dollar, but more to tame the heat. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing, but probably won't be back to try again. read more

Friendly service, good prices, generous servings. We didn't have to wait to get seated, very little wait to be served, but there was a little bit of a wait to get our check at the end when lunch rush hit. By the time we left all tables in the place were full. All employees were working hard. Nice little place with a good diner vibe. read more
