⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Matt Smith
Stopped in for breakfast. The home cooked food was great and service was too. So much that we came back for lunch same day. I had 1/2 chicken and my wife had BBQ plate for lunch. Did not disappoint! Great food, great staff. Absolutely recommend it and will be eating here again on our next pass through town.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Mary Jane Swift
Stopped in for lunch while our RV was being worked on nearby. All the places recommended to us were closed on Monday. This was the closest that was open. My husband was hoping for Breakfast but they stopped serving at 11:00, and it was 11:06. He got a burger, I got a BLT and we shared fries. Everything was delicious. Fries were hot and crispy. If ever in this area again we’d come back for sure.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Tommy Brown
I really enjoyed my first time eating lunch at Gunter’s Family restaurant today. I really loved my chopped barbecue sandwich with my sweet tea and French fries. I am definitely coming back here soon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Steff
I ordered two vegetable plates and a sweet tea. I had broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole, apple crumble, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, cabbage, pinto beans, potato salad, hush puppies. The apple crumble and sweet potato casserole were delicious. They had good flavor and a good amount of topping. The mashed potatoes were real potatoes, not the flakes. They had really nice flavor. The potato surprised me. Not many restaurants get potato salad right but they do. The customer service was great. The ladies were friendly and fast.
