Sonny Boy Family Restaurant

The food was very sub-par and you only get your first drink refill free… (see photos)

The biscuits and gravy on the brunch buffet was the best thing and it was actually quite good. The bacon/cheese omelette that my wife ordered however was full of grease, it was as thin or thinner than a tortilla, and the cheese was not melted at all inside. It took 3-5 minutes to get the omelette which was disturbingly fast and the omelette itself was just not very good.

The buffet was $13.99 which is not an unreasonable price. The buffet was limited though with it being a brunch buffet.

The breakfast portion consisted of Bacon, Eggs, Sausage Patties (I think, but the texture and flavor was “different”) and biscuits with an optional gravy that was very flavorful, but thin.

The lunch portion of the buffet included 2 different SALAD options, STUFFED PEPPERS that was very well cooked, but bland in flavor, MEATLOAF that was good, but sweet instead of savory, MASHED POTATOES that seemed to be fresh mashed and had a wonderful texture, however also not very flavorful, and then you could also get fruit which consisted of CANNED PEACHES and CANNED PEARS that tasted sour and slightly fermented, there was also COTTAGE CHEESE available.

The decor is the same as with the previous restaurants at this location which are now a bit dated, however it seemed darker than I remember even sitting by a window.

The name has actually changed as well, however I cannot remember what it is now called. It was changed to “The Chef’s Table” after being bought by new owners, however the menu as well as the listing here on Google say “Sonny Boy Family Restaurant” still.

Was a great experience! Service was good and food came out in a timely manner. Food came hot and looking great! Food tasted very good. Overall great experience. I definitely will be back!

I ate here recently with my kids. I thought our meal and service were great! They obviously just opened within the last couple weeks and are having some growing pains with staffing, but they were very transparent about it. Even with that our service was great and our food came out in a timely manner. They had a buffet that we chose not to do this particular trip but we will definitely back to try it. I feel this will be a staple in the Wintersville and Steubenville area in the future.
