Family Traditions - Carmi (IL)

5 /5 StLouisSled: Its not very often that I get blown out of the water when it comes to food but on our way home from Indiana yesterday we got hungry and was looking for lunch in Carmi, IL. Joy googled and found this place. We rolled up in front and wasnt sure it was even a restaurant but took a chance and went in. We felt out of place and under dressed at first but were welcomed in wholeheartedly even in our leather and doo-rags and quickly felt right at home. There was a fixed menu with just two choices for the day, chicken or beef but WOW! the most delicious Sunday home cookin Ive had in a long time. I ate everything on my plate and even ordered dessert... Home made blackberry pie. If you ever get anywhere near Carmi you have to stop at Family Traditions Restaurant.

5 /5 Kaylee Adams: Excellent home cooked meal! Feels like you are walking into Grandma’s house!

5 /5 Dukie B: Family Traditions was decorated beautifully for the Christmas season. We were greeted by Ian and he was very pleasant. He checked on us regularly to see if we needed a refill on our drinks. My husband and I both had baked ham. I had mashed potatoes with turkey gravy, green beans and homemade bread. My husband had mashed sweet potatoes, green beans, dressing and homemade bread. They offered homemade pie, cherry, pumpkin & pecan. Although they looked delicious, we were full after our meal. We may go back and just have dessert some day. Cindy, the owner came to our table to check on us and visit.

5 /5 Richard Ridenour: Family Traditions Restaurant makes you feel like you are eating your mothers home cooking. Delicious food and good portions at a reasonable price.
