Rainbow Family Restaurant

Stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday. The lunch special seemed like a good deal. Restaurant seems to do a good business at lunch but not overly busy. The place is clean and seems to have good up keep. The outside matches the food. «Nothing special» is the impression I get. If you want family style you’re better of with K&W. The pork chops are ok but the sides like the turnip greens are less than average.

Share these big portions with a friend. Lots of food, little money! Pretty good diner style food serviedfast and hot. Very friendly employees too.

If flavors were bright colors, this rainbow would be all Grey.
Would I go back? There is no way!
Stars? This place gets but one.
This restaurant disappointed everyone.
From ages 8 to 78, food was left on every plate.

Gross. I know that people have different ideas about home-​cooked meals, but school-​cafeteria-​style has never seemed like a benefit. The vegetables, if they can still be called that, are all boiled and mushy.
It’s like … a more-​disgusting K&W.

My husband and I are older and love good home cooked meals. At Rainbow, an entrée with 3 vegetables with bread and tea or coffee included is only around $ 8.00. Portions are generous and the service is excellent. We have eaten there many times and the quality and service is consistently good. The chef and chicken salads are huge and delicious. Several of our favorite entrees are the fried shrimp, baked chicken with rice, and the whitefish. There are so many tasty, home-​cooked side dish choices to choose from. The pinto beans, sliced tomatoes, greens, side salad, beets, and yams are a few of our faves. The dining area is pleasant with large windows and attractive décor.

I’ve driven past this restaurant a number of times, but never sop here, until today. This roomy, bright, airy place has something for everyone on its expansive menu.
They have daily meat & 2, and meat & 3 plates ranging from Hamburger Steak, Chicken Pot Pie, Fried Flounder, Popcorn Shrimp, BBQ Ribs, Veal Parmesan, Chicken & Dumplings, Meat Loaf, Spaghetti w/​Meat Sauce, Baked Chicken, Chicken Livers, Baked Manicotti, and even more.
The salads are large, fresh, and varied. They offer a variety of sandwiches, including Hot Dogs, Cheeseburgers, BLT, Tuna, Roast Beef, Subs, and even more. They have a Kids Menu & a Senior Citizens Menu with specials,
We had Country Style Steak with mashed potatoes & gravy, and Fried Okra. Also ordered Chicken Livers, Fried Squash, and Pinto Beans. Corn Bread with one, roll with the other. Priced at $ 7.95.
Steak was fall apart tender, with rich, flavorful gravy. The okra was excellent, crispy with real okra taste. Potatoes were a little bland, but were excellent after salt & pepper did its magic. The Chicken Livers were done perfectly, nice crust, but moist & tender. The pintos were loaded with flavor, enhanced even more with a little raw onion and crumbled corn bread. The fried squash was too heavily breaded for my taste. Corn Bread & roll were nice.
Not too many places can pull off the wide variety items that this place can. The portions are nice, the pricing reasonable, the service excellent. You will have a hard time choosing between the Greek, Italian, Southern dishes, or the salads, or the sandwiches, and more. We did not partake, but the cakes on display were wicked looking. I am already plotting my next visit ordering strategy.

I have eaten here for years. Great family. Family atmosphere. No alcohol. Salads are incredible (greek, grilled chicken add feta, homemade italian dressing). Home made home style veggies. Italian dishes such as lasagne, spagetti and meat balls, chicken ravoccati. Greek chicken is the best. Big portions. Lunch specials (pick a meat and 2 – 3 veggies).
