“ Stopped by to enjoy an evening dinner! Great food and hot! Great prices for dinner dishes! Service was prompt, pleasant and the inside was clean. ”
“ was not expecting much, rural Iowa, downtown has seen better days, but this place delivered. Has the combo skillet as that is what the server suggested. Fresh veggies, crispy hash browns, what more could you ask for. Was very good! Oh, the wait staff is terrific s well. I think breakfast is their thing. ”
“ This small town diner is everything you expect and more. The quality of the food is spot on and you won't see breakfast this cheap anywhere else. This is one of the places I would proudly bring people visiting my hometown (besides JQS of course). I usually get a skillet but today I opted for the classic breakfast with eggs over medium, hash browns, pancakes and bacon. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the potatoes taste real (not frozen). Also the pancakes are to die for! Chewy and satisfying. ”
“ I want to start off by saying a BIG thank you to the waitresses and cooks at the Vinton Family Restaurant. My family came to Vinton to pay our respects to our Dad, who is buried at Mount Auburn and to see our cousins that we haven't seen in years. With limited choices to eat in Vinton, we all found the Family Restaurant very welcoming. Breakfast there every morning and a couple of diners made us pretty popular returning customers. It was a pleasure to meet the staff and my mom got to talk to Roxy, whom she remembered when she grew up in Vinton. The food is all very good with good size portions. If you're there on a night when they have all you can eat Walleye, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Vinton Family Restaurant, we all hope to eat there again. ”
“ I just moved to this town f I'm a larger one. I was impressed with the serving size and the prices. If you walk away hungry , that's all on you. I've had the hot beef,which was excellent,the burgers and most sandwiches come sandwich only or delux with fries and soup. Staff are all freindly, restaurant was always clean, bathrooms were as well. You eat with your eyes first,the plates are refreshing,the cooks good. Yes I'd recommend this place to others,my folks drive 35 min. to enjoy a meal at this restaurant. ”
“ My wife and I have eaten there 3 times in the last week. We have had various selections and all were very good with very large portions. The service was way above par. In fact I think the service alone is worth the highest rating. I think their salads are super. Nice and fresh lettuce and the meat and cheese was plentiful. The coffee never got a chance to get empty when they came and asked if you needed another cup. This is by far my favorite place to eat. I highly recommend that if you are reading this you should put this on your places to try. ”
“ Service is above par each time we have visited this restaurant. It had been at least a couple months since prior visit and server remember our daughter orders the Mickey Mouse waffle without whipped cream. My husband and I both had the steak and shrimp special and were pleasantly surprised how good it was. This restaurant is in fine dining but it's really similar to let you would eat at home. We visited a little bit late in the evening and it looks like it could've used some cleaning, but nothing more than a busy night at a restaurant could've caused. We will definitely keep this restaurant in our rotation. ”
