The biscuits and gravy were just okay, and the omelet would have been better if it weren't made with American cheese slices. I did like the potatoes. Everything had a taste of grease to it, but for the price, I can't complain too much. I wasn't a big fan of their coffee (decaf). The service was nice and kept our cups filled, haha. The decoration inside is dated and nostalgic. For a small diner, it served its job :) Note: I enjoyed the pancakes, but they were a bit raw in the middle.

The start of my first official day in Kentucky kicked off at Eastgate Family Restaurant. My friend…read morewho's from here advised that Eastgate Family Restaurant has the best breakfast in the city. Based on what he said I had to go. As Eastgate Family Restaurant sits in a parking plaza there is ample parking. Upon walking it you are met with a sign to seat yourself. The restaurant is huge but has the feel of a small down home diner. The decor is very simple and dominated by gray tones. Once seated we were greeted by Lisa who was all smiles and midwest charm. The menu has an abundance of options but the breakfast section was calling my name. LoL! As I watched the servers bring out some other dishes I had to think long and hard about what I wanted. Being that my tastebuds we're all over the place I decided to go A-La-Carte, don't judge me. Food: Grits - The grits were plain. There was nothing special about them overall but they satisfied my desire for some grits. The serving size was very generous and after adding 6 packs of butter I was happier. LoL! Bacon (well done) - The bacon was the bomb. It was thick and well done just how I like it. Even with being well done it still had the robust flavor profile of smoked pork. Truth be told, I would come back for the bacon alone. Home Fries (well done and add onions) - The home fries were thinly sliced which made the crispyness even better. Though they were thin they still had the softness in the middle. They hit the spot. Overall, Eastgate Family Restaurant was a good meal with great service at a great price. It's worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for home cooked flavor without having to cook it.

My husband loved the eggs. The biscuit tasted like it was made from scratch. We ordered the pecan pie because it was the special. It was so good! The coffee was okay and hot in its yeti mug. I thought they could use someone to bus tables, cause when we walked in there were quite a few dirty tables and flies on the left over food. That almost turned me around, but I'm glad we stayed! If I was a local, I'd be a regular!

Hubby and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday night around 5:30pm and it was very busy and we…read morehad a 35-40 minute wait which is fine because you're going to have that anywhere you go on a Saturday night during prime feeding hours. Restaurant had a slight upper scale class feel and was decorated nicely. Also worth noting the bathrooms were spotless. We started out our meal with a couple of appetizers: deviled egg duo and my favorite, triple threat onion dip. Both DELICIOUS. Each table also gets a serving of jalapeño corn bread dripping in butter served in a mini cast iron skillet, it was also very good. For the main dishes we got the catfish over red beans and rice as well as the smoked meatloaf with loaded smashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. The catfish with red beans and rice serving size is HUGE, I couldn't eat even half. The beans and rice were seasoned wonderfully. The catfish was cooked perfectly, only thing I could say is that it was a little more catfishy than I like, but, still tasty. My husband enjoyed his meatloaf and said everything tasted wonderful and no complaints. I thought the Brussels could have been cooked a little more but I think that's more of a personal preference thing. Service was very good, staff was friendly, and waitress was attentive. Pricing was very affordable and a good value. The only thing I could say negatively is that it did get very loud between 6:00-6:45 to the point that I had to keep having my husband repeat himself because I couldn't hear him. By 7:00 it had died down drastically and all was well:) I look forward to returning to Hometown Roots and trying other options from their menu as they do have have ever changing special menus.

I am hesitant to ever give a bad review because every business has a bad day... in this case I…read morefeel I should be blatantly honest. 1st the "funnel cake " is not infact a funnel cake. Funnel cakes are made with a funnel. What you have is fried toast. 2nd my breakfast came cold, Not even the butter on the top of the potatoes would melt. I sent it back. Instead of preparing an entirely new plate as should have happened it was microwaved and returned to me. So my over medium eggs became hard eggs. The sausage was not freshly prepared but have been sitting on the grill, kept slightly warm and dried out , in other words it had been precooked and it was awful.. It was clear that I was very displeased. Consequently,, the restaurant comped my bill without my asking. Not sure what I would recommend except that the basics of the food hot and not cold making sure that it is perfect - over medium means over medium, not hard. Advertise something as a funnel cake then Google how to make funnel cakes otherwise advertise it as fried bread. Morr and more restaurants are going to having the bacon and the sausage sitting on the side of the grill and that is just gross. Certainly staff were very nice and prompt for the exception of letting my meal get cold before they gave it to me. And I fell that they were trying hard. Would I recommend them to someone else? No. Would I return? No
