This was my first time at Family Affair since they opened almost a year ago. Best family restaurant around! I had their hot turkey sandwich, which was excellent. They use real turkey, not the processed stuff. My 2 companions had the patty melt and a breakfast skillet. They each gave their meal an A+ too. Service was excellent and friendly.

We finally found a day/time the new location's parking lot wasn't packed full. We were greeted as we came in the door and seated ourselves. We had the Fried Cod and the Fish & Shrimp Combo Dinners. The amount of food for price is exceptional! In addition to the main dinner entree, you get choice of soup, salad, choice of potato, a vegetable, garlic toast, and even ice cream for dessert! So much food and the prices are so reasonable. The inside of the new location has been opened up, it looks fresh and clean. Service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely go back.

I missed this place and the ‘Two For You’ so much!! I’ll have to come back for my favorite cream of chicken and rice soup. Very happy they’re back. Great food and friendly staff, just like before.

The establishment is very clean and updated. The staff is all friendly and helpful! You can tell they love their environment. I had the Chicken Fried Steak dinner. For the price you get so much food. The mashed potatoes were great, the gravy had just the right amount of pepper, and the French onion soup was so good! We will definitely be back again.
