    Apple "sticks"
    Carrie L.

    I have been coming here since I was 3. I have recently moved back to the area and decided to go and see if the food was still just as good as it was the day I left.. And it was! Every thing was perfect! Even though they changed up the apple sticks. But hey, they were still very good! I absolutely love this place! Coming back for the fried chicken! Highly recommended!! And the prices are wonderful!

    two fried eggs on a plate

    my husband and I had breakfast there today. well let's just say the biscuits was delicious but someone needs to learn how to fry eggs. my eggs were supposed to be over medium they well more like well done. my husbands eggs were supposed to be well done they were beyond well done. However with this being said we do eat dinner there and it's always been good.

    The food is great!

    Best fried chicken around. Fallston staple for many years. Favorite is the cheeseburger basket.

    Jan's is a great place to grab a home cooked meal. Everyone is nice and friendly, just what you'd expect from a small town restaurant.

    Very good customer service and good food…read more I recommend you get a cheeseburger, slaw, tomato, and pickle

    Hole in the Wall but that kind of place is often the best for good food and service…read more A bit out of the way being about 15 miles NW of Lincolnton NC but based on recommendations, had decided some time ago to give them a shot. Today was the day. Got up and went to get my hair cut before I get cast in the Lion King and then took a quick DNA test. Trying to straighten out genealogy from the 1750's and have an impasse with Ancestry.com with one of two paths so seeing if 23 and Me can give an additional insight. In any case, got the hair cut, took the DNA test and dropped it off at the Lincolnton Post Office and got to the Cat Square Family Restaurant around 1:00 pm today which is a Saturday. Parking lot was packed when we got there but most were in the front dining room while the back dining room still had plenty of space. Not much to look at from the outside being a repurposed gas station but don't let looks fool you. Food is great and Service is even better. Walked in and they have a slim staff with Covid and my wife asked if we should seat ourselves. They responded yes and we soon found a table in the back room. Always iffy if you get a back room because quite often, out of sight, out of mind. Not the case here. We had out first encounter with our server within one minute of seating and it was consistent throughout our dining experience. Cuisine is typical of what you would encounter in a diner or family restaurant but very well executed. Started with Mozzarella Cheese Sticks as an appetizer. When it was served, it as served with both Ranch and Marinara Sauces so we had a good choice. My wife likes the Ranch while I prefer the Marinara and while the Marinara was prepackage and not fresh made, that is better than a Marinara that does not have a nice fresh taste. The prepackaged was the better option in terms of quality. My wife ordered the Philly Cheese Steak along with Onion Rings. Both were great and portion size was such that she had extra for a later lunch. I had a BLT with Fries and both were great. I'm a bit of a purist because I consider a BLT to be the ultimate Sandwich and this one was very good although I do like my bacon a bit less crispy. I know I am a outlier but the sandwich was great anyway. Was surprised with the French Fries. Not undercooked, not pasty or grainy from being undercooked and not greasy but rather as close to perfect as I have found locally. They do not salt the fries as most places do and leave the amount of salt up to the consumer. Very good and will be back although note unfortunately, it's about a 40 minute drive from here so will not be a frequent as I would like.
