⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our party of five visited Mat-Su Family Restaurant for breakfast on a rainy morning, and it was a perfect experience from start to finish. We were seated immediately, no wait time, which was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance was incredibly cozy, with warm lighting and comfortable seating that made the dreary weather outside fade away. I ordered the meat skillet, and wow—what a feast! The portion was massive, easily enough to satisfy even the heartiest appetite, and every bite was packed with delicious, savory flavors. Our waitress was exceptional, attentively keeping our drinks topped off and checking in with genuine warmth. The service felt personal, never rushed, which added to the welcoming vibe. After eating, we lingered to chat, and the staff made us feel right at home, like we were catching up at a friend’s house. Mat-Su Family Restaurant is a gem—a place where great food, attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere come together perfectly. Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast or just a cozy spot to connect, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through!

This was my second visit here this year and I've had a good experience each time. I'd go more often but I live in Texas and don't get here much.

This was my second visit, having visited a year ago in June, and it tasted just like the first time. It's a good choice if you're passing by, so I hope you stop by if you're on your way. However, the booth is a bit narrow, so it may feel cramped for larger people. Please note that it is closed in winter. The outside looks clean because the building itself has been remodeled, but the interior is the same.

Great food Excellent service Friendly staff Thank you Jerryn!

The food is good. The plate doesn't come with what's shown on the menu. You get mixed veggies instead of broccoli. I happen to be allergic to carrots. I didn't bother asking for something different as I asked if their salad had carrots and the waitress said no, but when it got to the table it had carrots and they couldn't change it to a caesar salad, which is what most places do, so I got their soup. I gave my chicken fried steak to my husband as it tasted sour, but it didn't to him. The mashed potatoes were really good; real potatoes. Everything else was just okay.

Updated cuz it’s my obligation as a professional foodie to put people on. Y’all if they had a hidden video they woulda won AFV for best seated soul dance. This Mediterranean omelet was the best omelet I’ve ever had! (I usually prefer skillets or biscuits and gravy) Then Alisa checked on me and TKO: Finish Her!!!! She suggested salsa with it. It was a spiritual experience, and all of Heaven’s angels rejoiced. (This was the original post ⬇) Your RIGHTS are right: friendly, fast, large portions, hot, with great pricing. That said I’d definitely come back to try something else because I thought it was a little bland. It could be because I’m used to more sausage in my sausage gravy.

For they type of restaurant that it is, I'm giving it 4 . This restaurant is way larger then it appears and seems to be a family favorite as it was pretty busy when we arrived and people kept coming in. Having just moved to the area we are eager to find some go to places that satisfy the palet, the tummies and the budget! The menu is pretty substantial. Usually I'll pick from a select few of some old standbys at a new place but this time around, I was having a hard time choosing! My husband and I actually relied on the way pleasant waiter to give us his selections.....he actually listed things that we were debating on so we went with his selections. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak breakfast. I picked the Alaskan burger with a chili side. The chili was really good! The burger though, was disappointing and it solidified that I'm just not impressed with "reindeer sausage". There is zero special about it. There, I said it! The waiter delivered mayo, ketchup and mustard as I soon found that this burger had zero spread on it. So I proceeded to lather it up and 1: the bun is too soft to support not only a patty, but sausage as well. It was too flimsy. 2: cooks should be aware that if a customer is going to have to add their own condiments that it's wise not to use a patty that is not only over charred but missing @ 1/3 of itsself! Now, if the patty had remained tasting burnt and thus dry, it would've been disappointing but the last few bites had that spoiled meat taste. Ick. Trying to remain positive, the coffee was good and plenty, service was great and it did look like their breakfasts would be the reason to go. Honestly, we left with paying less then $40/2....kinda unheard of these days! Despite being disappointed in my particular burger, we will continue to go and try different things
