Family’s Main St Cafe Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    This place has a bit of charm, in a smoky, southern way...what do you expect? This is a local, family restaurant in Kentucky of all places...you dont go in expecting filet mignon (although there is a great butcher shop next door). Anyways, it's decent, coffee is pretty good, breakfast will fill you up, and only recommendation against it is not to go on Sunday because I think about half the town eats there after morning Church services.

    We don't go to Family's very often but when we do I'm always happy when we leave. Family's is cash only, small, and has a very country family meal feel. The walls are covered in a ton of pictures of drag racing cars, people riding horses, and people showing animals at the fair; it reminds me of home haha. Everyone knows everyone and the food is delicious. This morning I had two fried eggs over medium with home fries and bacon. The kids like cheese on scrambled eggs, which isn't on the menu but they made it anyway. The waitresses are all so sweet, Heidi was our waitress this morning and she did a great job. We had a great breakfast as we always do at Family's.

    Cash only. It has an older diner feel. Sat there for quite a bit before getting waited on. Server was friendly enough and even made a suggestion to try the fresh made cole slaw. While waiting, another lady was shuffling around in her shoes, slamming dishes in the busser station, where we unknowingly sat. Made my headache even more pronounced. at one point She aggressively reached across the table to get my boyfriends glass to fill with water. I thought she was going to jump on the table. Sorta cracked me up. The burger was surprisingly thick. The cole slaw was really good. The price was reasonable. We were just told by a friend to try their biscuits and gravy next time. So we'll have to go back and review on their breakfast.

    We stopped in here late yesterday afternoon to see what the place was like. (I just moved here.) We were looking for a nice little place to have some dessert. The server did not even acknowledge us when we came in. Even though she was ringing up another lady, she could have let us know to have a seat anywhere. Note that there was only two tables of people eating, so it is not that she was busy. We stood until she was done ringing up the other gal, and then we asked if we were to sit anywhere and she said yes. After she brought us the menu, we were told that pies were the dessert choice, so that is what we would get. As we sat there and looked around, the place just didn't have that cozy country diner feel that you like to find in a small town restaurant. We decided to get a whole pie to go, but found out they had no whole pies. So, we got a piece of chocolate cream pie, coconut cream pie, and apple pie to go. The server was not a happy server, but did the job. When we got home and tasted the pies, they were delicious. We will definitely get a pie to go from there in the future, but it seriously doubt we will ever eat there.

    Typical small town cafe / diner. Waitress knows many people by name. Typical Kentucky fare. Good food. Lots of locals. Steady stream of business. Not fast.

    Food was ok, meat was good. Service was lacking. Typical country diner

    If you are looking for a nice friendly "family style" local eatery with good food and reasonable prices, Family's Main Street Café Restaurant is the place to go in Walton. If you don't like (or can't afford) to pay cash, don't like an occasional smoker, slow service when they're busy, or the "colorful locals" who somehow always seem to be there, then don't go. My wife and I, and sometimes our adult children, go there about once a month. In the four years or so since we first tried it, we have never left without the satisfied feeling of just experiencing a good plentiful meal at a fair price. For the two of us, our bill rarely exceeds $20; including a 15% (or more) tip. Yes, as business and education professionals, we can certainly afford the more expensive and formal eateries found in the more affluent Northern Kentucky communities to the north of Walton. But, it wouldn't be "family style" would it?

    I came here for my first and probably last time. The food was decent, but it didn't have the home cooked taste I was looking for. The service is what fit in to the home cooked atmosphere, if you lived alone that is. They forgot 2 of our salads, and then disappeared in the back. When we finally were able to flag the waitress down to remind them, they were able to bring them just in time. With the rest of our meal. And we didn't get refills until we were finished and just waiting on the check. The food itself was fine, just nothing special. Not enough to get me back.

    similar experience to Jonni. I took the family there as we really like Brook's meats. Meat quality at the restaurant was great, the pork sandwich was tender and a nice sandwich. The sides were pretty generic and seemed to be the "out of the can" taste. That said, for the price the meal was good - really due to the meat quality. The real issue was the smoking. Ventilation is poor and there is no escaping the smokers who were chewing with one hand and puffing with the other. I don't mind a bit of smoke, but this is a Little place and for a place that is "family" won't take my daughter back. Too bad as we were hoping for a place we could go get brunch and lunch that is locally owned. Won't go back, will just buy meat next door and cook at home instead of wasting the money.

    I really, really, REALLY wanted to like this place. We are sorely lacking in good home-cooking joints in the Florence/Burlington/Union area. Since I shop at Brooks Meats next door to Family's once a month for my meat marketing, I noticed the restaurant and told my husband that we were going to try this "little joint" when we were off for the holidays. We arrived the day before Christmas eve (so, Thursday) early lunch time. The place was hopping with locals. Just a few tables open, which to me, said, "good place to eat". We meandered to a table in the middle section, which was crowded. We had our 22 month old with us, and I noted that the whole restaurant was smoking. Normally, I wouldn't commit to this, but I thought, how long could we be here, really? Well, not only was this place a full smoking restaurant, I would wager that everyone smoked. And, all the people smoking (including the elderly lady on oxygen at the table to our left) smoked WHILE eating. Never a break in between bites. GROSS. We all reeked when we left... Our server was nice. We ordered breakfast, which they have all day, and that's great. Took a while to get to us. While waiting, my husband sipped on a soda. The gal who was bussing tables for everyone picked it up and returned it. I noted that my husband wasn't drinking after a time and he had a strange look on his face. When I asked, he said, "it's just disgusting, that's all." "What?" "This isn't my drink. The straw has been chewed on. It belongs to the man behind you. I've been watching him chew on his straw and I saw the gal pick his and mine up on her last trip by." Um, another GROSS. My husband is a server, and he was nice about it to our server. Thankfully, she was equally horrified--sadly, the man at the other table was drinking my husband's coke without even a second thought. Don't know HOW you handle that one...and she didn't. Didn't say a word. Our food arrived. It was decent home cooking. I was so hungry I didn't really care and dove in. Moved my hashbrowns around to find a nice dark hair swimming in the grease--well hidden under the pile of hashbrowns. At that point, I decided that it simply was not a place to come back to...or to complain, or to finish my meal. And, the completely full tables that initially said to me "good place"? After the work crowd cycled through, it left a bunch of tables with local yocals who, apparently, retired early, are on SSI or other. They just hung out, and hung out and when a few folks actually left a table for good, the remaining members just moved on over to another table to chat with the rest of the yocals.

    Good food and service if you can endure the nasty smokers. Order take out and wait outside. Oh yeah, bring cash as they don't take plastic either.

    Good home cooking. Good ol' mom n pop restaurant. I feel like you get what you pay for. There is no dollar menu lol. I'd recommend going there for dinner unless you're lookin for a big lunch. Good service. And they kinda have weird hours.
