My family just loved this place when we ate there.. The best place for kids to eat and enjoy and they finished their food. We added their app. and got a free milkshake and the kids ate free because of weekend !!!!. Kids really enjoyed putting the cars together they gave with menus and the hats..they really loved them too!! Our bill was less than $20 both times we went..Our fav restaurant when we visit family for now on!! For a family of four its fantabulous.. We went to family restaurant on way to peru and spent $40 and the kids didnt eat all their food because wasnt what they thought it would be. So if you have kids and dont want to spend alot but want good fresh food this is the place for you and family.

Stopped here for a quick lunch, Wood-fired grilled shrimp made the grade, Served with broccoli and rice, it was both tasty and nutritious. The service was professional, pleasant and accurate. Nice atmosphere in this chain restaurant. Always a treat to get seafood far from an ocean. And the cheddar biscuits are so good they could be a dessert!Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback and giving our restaurant 4 stars! Your comments have been shared with our management team and we look forward to giving you a 5 star experience next time!

We were travelling from Indianapolis to Minneapolis and Liberty Family Restaurant was a great breakfast stop a long the way. I had the steak and eggs and my husband had the House Omelet. The steak was prepared as I had ordered it. The omelet was huge; more than enough for one person. We were quite satisfied with the quality and quantity. We would come again.

Place is beautiful...bar is excellent and food is amazing. We live locally so we order here when we want BBQ. Carryouts available which may be an option because they are so busy at times.

I always feel bad when I review restaurants because I am never very impressed with them. I had the special a Stuffed Pork chop and expected a thick center cut chop with a bone. I am not sure what I got, it was about two inches high and had stuffing and gravy which I had specially said I didn't want. A small scoop of potatoes and gravy and some canned green beans rounded out the meal. the chop was pretty good BIG the rest was standard fare, canned gravy. SIGH for some real gravy. My granddaughter had the Grilled Shrimp and a baked potato - gave the food an 8. My grandson had the kid's hot dog BIG definitely a jumbo dog and tasted like beef, had a large bun that might have been toasted. He had cottage cheese for a side.The service was a bit slow but friendly. All in all I would go back and try something else next time. This restaurant is near Route 80 and the price for my meal was under $10 not including the drink.

Husband and I were out for a Sunday drive on this beautiful day in May. We were originally going to stop in Utica for a late lunch. So glad we didnât and kept driving or we would have missed this place. Awesome food, wonderful service. Our waitress was super friendly. Their Bama Nachos were phenomenal and we split the Ruben. Generous portions. Canât wait to go back and try the meat sampler.

Fine food is served at this "Hole-In-The-Wall". She had the grilled salmon with a sweet potato(maple flavored), and I had a Filet Mignon with baked potato and vegetables. The restaurant opens a 5 PM and you do need reservations as the place is small (10 tables) and in high demand. Locals eat here and every seat was taken including the 18 seats at the bar. The location is oddly unusual in the middle of vacant small storefronts and is along the river. Inside is all new and of modern design. Bar tender friendly and good.

What is really nice about this place is the seating in a screened area facing the street. It is "outside" without having people walking by and smelling the fumes of the garbage truck going down the street. Beer selection was good, but pricey. My salad was very different and enjoyable. Wife got a burger, which was cooked to perfection, but wife likes them burnt, so was not satisfied. Service was great and timely. Overall cost was higher than a tavern, but expected that. Recommended.Thank you for joining us, we are happy you got to enjoy the screened in patio. Our chefs love to create unique and delicious flavor combinations for our ever-changing menu! We are always happy to cook burgers to any temperature you prefer! We hope you can join us again!Best,Ryan
