To the "young" guy who posted this restaurant is "good for old folks after church ... but not for…read moreyounger people", sounds like he's one of the latter. J.R., I am one of the "old folks" and the fact this is named "The Family Table", should be a clue that it's a place you can bring the little ones, or grandparents if you want a nice quiet meal with "comfort" food. In other words, it's geared to the middle word in its name: FAMILY. Good food at affordable prices, this is not your franchise, get-rich quick set up but a family-owned business just trying to pay the rent and put food on the table (no pun intended). ONE star because you had to get your own condiments? Poor, entitled, Gen-Z-er! Getting your own is exactly what you would do at one of the "younger" venues. ONE star is when they switch your order with the table next to you; when they burn the steak you asked for "rare," or finding a hair in your salad, or your food arrived cold. But because you had to walk 20 feet for a little packet of sugar or bottle of ketchup it's one star? Just how DID the waitress not do her job? Did she ignore you or was it busy, and did you have to wait for your check longer than 10 minutes after your table was cleared? I bet you didn't leave a tip either, did you? You know what, you can give the restaurant a one if the food was reaaaallly bad, small proportions, or the restaurant was dirty. But take that waitress out of this rating. For that, you leave no tip. But you don't get to tie her service this review as one and the same.

They also had potato, macaroni, pea, pasta, and other salads. The hamburger steak and wedge potatoes were very good. The hash browns were great, and my sirloin steak was very good--I added a bit of salt, and it was cooked just as I ordered it. The hot bun was a nice touch. Nice bar and lots of table seating.

Cliff's was a little of a drive for us, it was super easy to find located on a very nice Main Street. There was parking on both sides of the street. We walked in & were greeted immediately by the VERY FRIENDLY staff. It didn't take long for our server to attend to us. She was super friendly & very attentive! We haven't had such good service like this in a long time. She took our drink order & gave us a minute to decide. She made suggestions of what was good, noting that the tenderloin was an award winner in I believe 2023. So that's what my father & I had. He had a salad with this & I had onion rings. My brother had the hamburger steak & fries. It didn't take very long for our food to arrive, not too slow & not too fast, time enough for us to have most of our beers. The beer selection was limited and simple. They have a bar with alcohol. My brother had a Jim Beam & Coke. He said that it was mixed right, not too strong or too weak. The waitress zipped by our table frequently to chat & check on us while waiting for our food. That was really nice. The place was a little noisy, but not so bad we couldn't have a conversation. Our food came out hot & fresh. I definitely know why they won an award for their tenderloin. It was one of the best ones I've ever had & I'm looking forward to going back to have another one! The onion rings were outstanding too. I was very satisfied with my meal. Our bill came to around $66 before tip. We left a pretty good tip because our service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend a trip to Manning Iowa for this tenderloin. It was a great dining experience. Food was great, service was great & the restaurant was great(very clean & pleasant on the eyes)

My waitress was nice, we had some nice conversation as the evening went into closing hours, but the food was not really what I hoped for. Gizzards were overdone and the "Iowa Cutlet" was just a solid slab of pork, also overdone with barely any flavor. On the plus side land the excellently seasoned and crispy potato wedges and the best grilled veggies I've ever had. Sauced so well. So in the end... I wanted to eat something that felt local.
