Steve Sarchet Great staff great people great time not sure of food menu but have had good food in the past

Kitty Hescott Loved this place so much. The bartenders had my husband and I laughing the whole time. I felt like I was at home. It was so cool to come in and see them act as a family but also providing great service. I felt like I was on the sitcom “Cheers.” Special shout out to Kate and Hannah. You ladies are not afraid to be yourself and I love it!

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.

MMM Very nice , clean lounge. Who can beat Thurs. $5.00 one topping pizza!! Bar tender was quick to serve and kept eye on empty bottle.

Derek Daniels I think this is a newer restaurant, as I was told a pizza place was in here before. The food was decent, but the inside looked less like a Mexican restaurant than most Ive seen. The service was adequate, but my chips werent replaced with a new batch when I finished and my drink wasnt refilled until the end of my meal. My burrito grande was pretty good, though Ive had far better. The salsa was runny; very watery. I wouldnt go out of my way to return here, but I would come back.
