We were helped efficiently and the waitress was knowledgeable about the specials. The ambiance was exactly what I'd expect from a smaller town diner; several content locals and kind staff with the music just right. I ordered the picnic special of a hamburger that came with baked beans and choice of potato salad or chips. My husband got the chicken strip basket and was very impressed with the breading and the hot crunchy (with soft middle) fries. We are for sure satisfied and full! Would highly recommend.

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.

I guess this location has been a number of restaurants throughout the years, but it has been nicely transformed into a Mexican motif. Chips and salsa came quickly and we declined additional options of guac or queso. Our server came quickly and got our drink orders, and then we placed our food orders. The food came out in a reasonable time, with the typical 'hot plate' All the food was what you'd expect, and had good, fresh flavors. My wife's dish came out with beef instead of the chicken she'd ordered, and wasn't as hot as the rest of the dish, but otherwise was good. Communication with our server was a bit hit or miss, but she was attentive and checked in regularly. All in all I'd recommend it--we liked it much more than the other similar competitor in town.

Pelican Pub in Lake View was another great stop during Bike Bash weekend, and it was also the main…read morestarting point for the Saturday gathering of bicycle teams honoring a lost team member who had passed after her battle with cancer. RIP Bree. Team Spin and K'moniwannaleiya started here, and the pub clearly welcomed the group and gave them room to set up, sell shirts, and say a few words in her honor. That says a lot about the place. We did not eat here, but they were obviously prepared to serve a lot of cyclists. Drinks were reasonably priced, service was solid, and everything seemed to be moving well even with a big crowd. The indoor/outdoor setup is a huge plus, especially in the summer. There was plenty of room for people to gather, spread out, and still feel like part of the same event. The front of the place says, "Come as strangers, leave as friends," and for this kind of bike weekend stop, that felt pretty accurate. Good atmosphere, good service, and a great setup for both large groups and smaller visits. We would come again -- and honestly, we probably will.

Flavor was top notch, I love a great ribeye. Salmon and shrimp was perfect as well and burger was perfect too. Nothing was under cooked or over cooked, perfect. We had several sides, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, Broccoli and Brussels sprouts. All were great, the only comment on sides is maybe some bourbon brown sugar type glaze on the Brussels sprouts. The wine selection is great, and we had some Moscow Mules that were absolutely perfect. And our server Ms. Avery was very knowledgeable on all the food and did a great job! Thank you Cattlemen's for a great dinner, truly a gem of a restaurant in Sac city and the surrounding area.

The latter is the sit down coffeehouse/tearoom side where four of us met for dinner one night. The menu is unique in that there is one page featuring hotdogs with a twist, several twists actually. I was more interested in the page of panini sandwiches, however, so unfortunately I neglected to take better note of hotdog offerings. There are eleven panini's on the menu. One vegetarian, one corned beef, one roast beef, one ham, and one meatloaf and the balance featuring turkey. Common themes among the ingredients are craft breads, havarti cheese, horseradish, and Bistro sauce. It was an evening set aside mostly for conversation over a pleasant meal. Both were enjoyed. I intend to return the next time I am in Sac City so I can take better note of the menu--and partake in one of many cheesecakes, or bread pudding, or pecan rolls.

And I'm going to be honest. I'm picky. I rarely bother to post (like "never") on Yelp. But I felt led to review after coming to this little town's gem of a restaurant. The decor is great and they obviously put a lot of time into turning this beautiful old building around. The pictures of old Sac City are amazing. They also happen to have a creative variety of food (and names for their sandwiches & soups). The end result would succeed not only in regional cities like Des Moines or Omaha; it would work anywhere. The owners - including one in another review described as "bitchy" - were incredibly nice. The food had great variety and taste. Even the hot cider was exquisite. My employee, who owns his own plane, is planning on sending his flying friends here on "air trips". I'll go out of my way to eat here again, myself. You should, too.
