Reviews
Our visit to Family Tradition Restaurant was long overdue, and we’re so glad we finally made it in for dinner. The food was absolutely perfect — flavorful, comforting, and made with care. We had grilled chicken dishes with two sides and some rice, and everything was cooked to perfection.
The customer service was excellent — warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The whole experience had a cozy, homely vibe that’s hard to find these days.
We’ll definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend!
Sally is an asset! She made my friends from Italy feel like part of the family.
The food and service were excellent!
The food was good and hearty and great prices.
My Favorite dish is their Chicken Fried Chicken.
If you are expecting fancy breakfast this is not the place, but if you want a place that is simple and brings back memories of Sunday Morning Breakfasts, this is it.!
Got here about 3 in the afternoon on a Friday (today August 24, 2018). Place wasn’t too busy, some locals who appeared to be elder and known customers were there.
Place has a good old downtime southern cafe/grill charm to it.
Menu has plenty of options (think Po Folks or Cracker Barrel but with much lower prices and bigger portions).
Careful what you order, you’re going to get a big plate. We were asked to set ourselves anywhere we wanted ( big plus for me, I don’t like to be made to sit wherever the server wants). This place is set up with booths and tables, plenty of room.
Our server came to introduce herself, name of Jordan, very pretty young lady with a great attitude and very attentive to our needs.
We ordered an appetizer of fried green tomatoes, these things were delicious and the portion was massive (I tasted everything we ordered). We couldn’t finish all of them there.
Jordan made a suggestion to me of the southern fried steak. I ordered that with potato salad and green beans with 2 rolls and half and half tea. Everything was great. Steak was tasty, ( I had the dark gravy on it, not necessary but good!), the potato salad was good ( I like my potato salad with plenty of mustard, which it almost had enough mustard but was a little creamy), and the green beans were nicely flavored. The 2 rolls were excellent. Im a huge bread with dinner guy so this was important.
Wife had the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich with veggie soup. She loved both. She said the buffalo could have been hotter but she likes to swallow fire so im sure it was hot enough for most non fire eaters!
I’m not sure how some of these reviewers are giving this place low stars, but as a high reviewer (my reviews and photos have over 20 million views) I have usually found these people are not informed enough about what type of place they are visiting and therefore expectations are skewed…OR they have a personal vendetta against the place or owner or staff. I knew what type of restaurant this was by the description …and the reviews. As for the people saying the good was “bland”, it just wasn’t over spiced. This place has a large variety of customers and you can’t over spice country cooking at a restaurant like this due to the customer base.
My 5 star reviews are always based on meeting 5 criteria
1. Service
2. Atmosphere and cleanliness
3. Prices
4. Quality
5. Quantity
This restaurant met all of my expectations for a down home country meal at extremely reasonable prices.
Great job Jordan, …and thanks to all the friendly staff! Highly recommend.
I’m trying to bulk up and sometimes that means deviating from my normal, expensive list of foods to grab some extra calories. This means more carbs and more fats. Where better to get those than a Southern cooking restaurant?
Because it’s usually just me dining I can go about wherever I want to. Wanting something different than Mexican, BBQ, Italian, or Asian, I decided to give Family Tradition a try. I frequent the Publix next door and there’s usually no parking available in front of the restaurant.
Today was Saturday and I expected it to be slower especially mid-afternoon. I was correct. No wait. Had my menu and tea within ,5 minutes. Awesome.
I avoid fried foods most of the time but I do occasionally like fried chicken, fried chicken livers, or some fried fish. Lucky for me, they had fried cod from Alaska. Sold.
The “fish and chips”, as expected, comes with French fries and one other veggie so I ordered cole slaw. The waitress offered my choice of biscuit or cornbread and the cheat choice for me was cornbread.
Service was quick. Within about 15 minutes I had my meal. It was sans cornbread but no biggie. I’ll ignore the bread and move on.
First the cole slaw. Spot on. No vinegary taste. Not overly sweet. Not baptized in mayo. Good job would eat that anytime.
Before I forget, the tea was also good. I drink it unsweetened so I may be a little more picky about the flavor. It may have been Luzianne. Good job.
The French fries were a little less appealing. In fact, they were greasy, cool, and soggy. I never out ketchup on good fries. These were not good fries (from frozen) so add more high fructose corn syrup to my meal from the ketchup to disguise the fries as food. I still have a rock in my belly an hour later. Not so good job.
Lastly, the fish. Beer battered Alaskan pub cod. Now I’ve been to Alaska. Several times. I have eaten seafood on the seacoast in a pub. What I typically expect in fish and chips is a light bodied fish (cod will do), a light crispy batter (beer batter will definitely do), and a most, tender, flaky meat that melts in your mouth (cod will do).
When the waitress asked if I want cocktail or tartar sauce I almost said no. I mean fish, especially for fish and chips, should have plenty of flavor from the batter and the fish. Fur some reason, after about an 8 second pause, I said, “I think I’ll try the tartar sauce”. It’s a good thing I did because that’s what helped me come down the dense, bricky, fishy slabs on my plate.
Look, I didn’t expect world class fare. I did expect effort. I could be wrong but I would say the fish was taken from the freezer, placed in the microwave for a couple of minutes to “defrost”, then tossed without any ceremony directly into the fryer.
For me, next time I’m that hungry, I will probably opt for something a little healthier and tastier.
Quite disappointed actually. Just try, people. Try.
