Rainbow Family Restaurant

I stopped in for lunch as I always like going to Mom and Pop restaurants when I'm traveling with work. It was a decent sized Gathering of people here which is typically a good indicator but overall I wasn't really impressed. I had a patty melt and just change the cheese from Swiss to Cheddar. Accompanied by some tater tots and I was excited to try the apple cobbler for dessert. The Toasted Rye was perfectly cooked how's was the burger which I found to be slightly on the smaller side and probably could have used a few more onions. Tater tots were a welcome change and were fried up perfectly. Served up crispy and hot. The biggest disappointment for food came in the guise of apple cobbler which to be perfectly honest I only ate one bite of as it was soggy and rather strange tasting. The restaurant itself is in dire need of maintenance with ceiling tiles that are dirty and water soaked and a bathroom that looks worse than some gas stations I've been to. They do survey all-you-can-eat lunch buffet which feature some pretty nice-looking salad items some fried chicken that looked to be overdone and some hamburger and gravy that look like you could make a do-it-yourself potato turbate. The staff are incredibly friendly however and it is for their reason alone why I will give this place three stars instead of two.

We had breakfast the /eggs, cheese grits, ham,/ biscuits and gravy, pancakes, and home fries. The first group was great...BUT, the pancake was heavy, flat not fluffy and light. the biscuit n gravy bland, home fries over cooked.

A roadside diner that is poular with truckers and locals. Not glossy like the fast food joints, but more of an early '60s look.
The food is ample and quite tasty, and is ordered from a full menu of American standards. Also, the lunch buffet is a good way to go. They have take-away as well.
You should drop in and eat up!

My husband research on line this place. I had planned to get the grilled cheese but saw they had breakfast. We order our drinks and sat and looked at the menu. Very large menu and large seating available. Our waitress was very bubbly, she had sparkling eyes under her dark brown frame glasses. I asked about the stack of tall hotcakes and she said, yes just butter. I ordered them and my husband ordered the hashbrowns crispy with toast, eggs, and a side of biscuits and gravy. While we waited more and more people came in. A couple behind us were talking and he was yelling at her, I felt bad for her. The food came and it looked great! I put some butter on the 1st pancake and cut into the 4 of them and cut them in half. Took a bite and it tasted tough like it was over cooked. Well I had 3 more, no worries. Something must have been on the grill when they were made. It was not what I expected, but my husband's food he said was Great! I ate his toast. We were just passing through so, we will have to try it another time, just get the grilled cheese instead.

We were in a group of about 40 arriving about 9:30 am for breakfast (we did call ahead). 2 servers were assigned to our large group and they did an admirable job. We were also all seated together in a large side room which was nice. My friend's oatmeal was cold upon serving, another friends pancake was overdone as were my sausage patties. I think there was nearly an hour time difference between when the first person and the last person of our group received their breakfast. I think our large group overwhelmed The Rainbow.
