Mansfield Family Restaurant - Westside — Restaurant in Mansfield

If you like the older style restaurant feeling, then this is the place for you! At this restaurant you seat yourself and your server brings your menu, drinks and food. Our waitress was Emily K, and she was busy but made sure our drinks were full and that everything was good! They have pictures lining their walls, keno, a small TV, and they even sell candy and lottery!

My family of five came in today (3/1/2025) at around 12 because there was such a long wait at IHOP. This place was better than IHop! I'm glad we decided to try it.

For appetizers we tried the mozzarella sticks, loaded fries, and fried mushrooms with ranch sauce. They were really good, my husband and I loved the mushrooms and the kids demolished the mozzarella sticks and fries.

For our meals

My husband got a bowl of chili and the no 22 breakfast and that chili was so good! He let us all try it and it was the best restaurant chili we've had, and their hash was so delicious.

I got the chicken and waffles (the chicken is chicken tenders). The waffle was so big (I got a full waffle) and fluffy. It was one of the best waffles I've had in a long time. I didn't really care for the breading on the chicken, but with syrup it wasn't bad.

One daughter got biscuits and gravy (so delicious!) and clam strips with California blend side. The clam strips were cooked perfectly and was delicious.

One daughter got the chicken tenders dinner and she loved it!

My other daughter got a plain cheeseburger, with fruit jello and Mac and cheese. No one cared for the Mac and cheese, but the fruit jello was delicious and my daughter loves her burger and chips!

Overall this place has really good food, a great atmosphere, great prices and amazing staff! Everyone was friendly...

I really, really liked this place. I took my six year old daughter here after traveling two hours to get my second dose of my covid vaccine. We were starving and knew what we wanted to order as soon as we arrived. The coffee was great, the food was even better. As soon as I commented to my daughter that I was having the best burger I'd had in a long time, she had to use the restroom. Our server hadn't been by for awhile. I was waiting for a refill of my coffee. I was going to ask her where the restroom was when she refilled my coffee but she was socializing with the table in front of us. I asked the hostess, left my phone and purse at the table, and took my daughter to the bathroom. Not three minutes later we came back to the table to find a bus boy clearing our half eaten plates. The server said they were already making my daughter more fries without even asking me. I was charged for those fries, when all I wanted to do was leave. I didn't want to sit there anymore. I was tired from driving and getting my shot and just wanted to come home. They wouldn't even comp the meal they threw away. My kid would've been satisfied with mcdonald's fries on the way home of they would've asked me if they should remake them. What about my food? I was enjoying that burger and it was just thrown away. The server and manager lacked a sense of empathy as I was clearly a struggling single mom who was also very clearly very upset at a good meal that was taken away from me. I recommend the food, but I don't recommend any single parent leaving the table at any point...

UPDATE 05/04/23 OK. I'm done. Lately ALL misses. (See pic of omelet) Omelet wrong for the THIRD time in a row. Order as remove ham add bacon. I HATE ham. Every single time I still get ham. I ordered extra (& paid an extra $2 for) onion, peppers & tomatoes. Not a single onion. I counted 8 pieces of tomato & 3 small pieces of pepper. Inside was almost empty. Didn't receive drink with one meal.

I paid almost $11 for an egg omelette shell with not even a 1/4 cup of the wrong meat.

Small town diner good food good prices. The decor is old school diner, but the 70's paneling doesn't affect the taste of the food 😂

Mostly hit, occassional miss.

They have a good variety of food. Serve all day breakfast, lunch & dinner with daily specials & daily soups. I really like their omelets & grilled hash browns (I order with onions & crispy!) The spaghetti is good. Salads are minimal toppings but you can load it up on request (extra cost) Heads up on the goulash...it is not a tomato based variety with hamburger & pasta. It is different than the goulash I grew up with. It is I guess a polish version with a more watery base, beef chunks,...
