"My family recommended this place to me. So my husband and I went and it's now one of our favs. The owners are always nice and down to earth. They have a small menu which is nice. The food always comes out quick. I highly recommend coming here. P.s the atmosphere is great and they have board games to play with which is a nice touch. ❤"

"Nyla and her husband are the best team I’ve met. Warm, delicious home cooked meals, fast service, great prices, cozy atmosphere - all things that have made me return again and again. The chicken and dumplings are fantastic! They are such a treat and we are so lucky to have them in EA. If you haven’t been, please go! You won’t be disappointed."

"Food A Fare is the place to go if you’re looking for some homemade goodness. With its ever changing menu made fresh daily, you can eat a different meal Tuesday - Saturday! The owners are the friendliest all around to boot! So if it’s fresh food you are craving you should head their way and enjoy having a “Food A Fare”."

"I finally made it there for lunch last Friday. It is as good as everyone says! I had an Italian salad and the chicken pot pie. Both were served in very generous portions and were delicious. Two of my friends ordered the roasted chicken and mashed potatoes, which looked amazing as well. Another friend got the meatloaf with a grilled cheese (genius!). For real..." Read more

"Hands down the best homestyle cooking in the metro east. The owners Mike and Nyla are constantly adding new specials and their own spin to several of my childhood favorites. Their chicken pot pie melts in your mouth and the braised beef tips are to die for. Be sure to ask for some extra gravy for the mashed potatoes to go with it. Our whole family loves it..." Read more
