Mooresville Family House

I remember this place when it was Lone Star. And I remember it when it was a "Family Kitchen." It has changed hands several times, so the atmosphere is generally the same. Its presented as a traditional southern country kitchen and the food reflects it. The menu is expansive and has many options. There's something for everyone here just like what a southerner would expect at their grandma's house. After looking over the menu, my eye caught the "famous" dishes. I know this is a marketing ploy, but still must have some legitimate basis, so I decided on the beef tips. The sides are many and remind me of a trip to Cracker Barrel. I opted for the "famous" white slaw and the fried squash. The meal arrived within a very reasonable time and was well prepared. I ordered the tips medium and they were perfectly cooked, well seasoned and portion size was excellent. The squash was segmented, but this was fine as the breading, seasoning and texture was spot on. The "famous" slaw was sweet. Almost too sweet. Just my opinion here, but a bit of sour (vinegar) and some black pepper would have made it much better. The cornbread muffin was warm, fluffy and would pair very well with a bowl of pintos. I would even crumble them onto a bowl of milk and be satisfied. Service was prompt, professional, courteous, and attentive. Well done. Prices were reasonable given the portions and quantity. Overall, I would definitely recommend and would enjoy a return trip to try something different. If you have food allergies, this may not be the best place for you. A lot of items are prepared on the same surfaces, so cross contamination is a concern.

I went for lunch expecting home-cooked Southern food. Instead, I was served frozen vegetables that could be store-bought and simply deep-fried, along with a chicken-fried steak that also seemed to come pre-frozen. Even the gravy tasted like it came from a mix. I'm sure many people who have relocated here will find the food wonderful, and that's perfectly fine. However, as a Southerner who grew up on homemade cooking, this just didn't meet my expectations.

Our food was good and the restaurant was beautiful with a nice atmosphere. The service was terrible. We were one of four tables seated during our meal, but it appeared to be a social gathering instead of a workday for the severs. Our waitress was prompt in taking our order and bringing our drink, then we never saw her again until it was time for the bill. I could see her having a great time in the back of the restaurant with her friend’s laughing and having a good time.

We stopped here for dinner. The service was good, and food came out quickly. However, I didn't care for mine at all. I had southern fried chicken, with mac n cheese, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. It was too much gravy on the chicken, but the chicken was good. I tried to scrape some of the gravy off. The Mac n cheese was box brand Velveeta, the sweet potatoes were good, the cornbread was jiffy and very greasy. It made my stomach hurt. One of my sons had pork chops, but he preferred my husband's fried chicken. My other son liked his chicken fingers, but didn't eat the fries. My husband ordered banana pudding for dessert. I immediately noticed when the waitress brought it to the table, she was holding the inside of the bowl with her thumb. Since it didn't touch the pudding, I didn't complain, but I didn't like that at all. They played country music in the restaurant which is fine. The atmosphere is family friendly with a country feel.

I went there with a group of people. The Chicken filling was good.The crust…I give a 0. The crust should be thin and crusty, not a thick piece of bread on top.The Salmon, Beef Liver & Onions and Chicken Alfredo was Great! Rice was dry and the gravy was too thick…Bang Shrimp and Fried zucchini was good. I suggest you go and decide what you like…The menu has variety of choices and the restaurant is very spacious..free parking
