Barbara's Family Restaurant

Barbara's family restaurant is a hidden gem in the Riverview and Apollo Beach area. The service from the staff and the owner was friendly, personable, and timely during my visit. The catfish was not overcooked and seasoned just right, and the collard greens were exceptionally good coming from a restaurant. The beverages are standard, but the sweet tea reminds me of the tea made by Bojangles chicken and McDonald's. I would drink this over a soda any day. Some would say that the prices are high.

I like trying different diners, especially for breakfast. I was in the Ruskin area and decided to check this place out. I ordered the Kountry Boy breakfast (not misspelled). It came with two eggs, two sausage patties, two strips of bacon, biscuits and gravy, and a side. It was more than I could possibly eat. More importantly, it tasted great. Both the bacon and sausage patties tasted better than the average diner's. The prices were fair, and I had great service, too.

My wife and I were on a Sunday drive and this place jumped out at us as we got hungry. The food was worth the wait. Be patient as they are short staffed. OMG!!!! When you are eating you don't even feel like you are in a restaurant. It does taste like you are home. Can't wait to go back again and just try the desert. Again be patient as they are short staffed but so worth it!!!!!
