Family Traditions - Carmi

Wonderful home-cooked food served by the most wonderful people!

Wonderful home cooked food from wonderful people!!! I highly recommend!!!

My husband surprised me with a birthday celebration at this restaurant for my 30th birthday, and I was extremely impressed by the level of service from the staff. Every aspect of the restaurant is lovely and brings to mind a charming tea room from a bygone era— from the decorations to the tableware, it is clear that the owner puts a lot of care into creating a special dining experience. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Carmi.

This restaurant is a lovely place to dine! The food is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Family Traditions was beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. We were welcomed by Ian, who was very pleasant and checked on us regularly to see if we needed drink refills. Both my husband and I had baked ham for our meals. I had mashed potatoes with turkey gravy, green beans, and homemade bread, while my husband had mashed sweet potatoes, green beans, dressing, and homemade bread. The restaurant also offered homemade pies, including cherry, pumpkin, and pecan, although we were too full to try them. Cindy, the owner, came to our table to check on us and chat. We may return one day just for dessert.
