Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Great place for breakfast, reasonable prices, large menu. They had decent selection of desserts too! Place was clean and wait staff was very attentive and service was excellent."
"We absolutely love this place! We have been multiple times, and every time is as good as the last. The food is delicious, and very generous portions and I have taken food home each time. The staff are amazing and friendly. The environment is also clean and cozy yet plenty of seating."
"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."
"Holy heavens. This was the best breakfast I have found in Freeport. The staff is SUPER friendly as well and this place was very clean and cheery."
"Wasn't sure about stop by the restaurant kind of look like a little dive. Sure glad we stopped, bathrooms are super clean food was super good large portions and very reasonably priced. From Wisconsin and we're just passing through if we come through here again we'll definitely stop"
