“ The food is amazing, and the service is great. If you like pancakes, this is the place for you ”
“ The Cox family restaurant has been feeding us delicious home-cooked style meals since I can remember. It's like going home to mom's. There should be another star rating for this restaurant. ”
“ Oh man, what a Great little place. Definitely, one of the crystal coast's hidden gems. Prime rib is to die for!!!! The service was really good too. The young lady took the time to explain the menu and even offered us drinks to go. It's a quiet little place that cycles people through quickly. ”
“ Asked a local where to eat, suggested Cox Family Restaurant, so glad they did. Love a home style eatery that is simple, friendly, and serves delicious food. This spot has it all from the menu, the great staff, and the price. We were all over the place on our selections from fried seafood to a baked potato, from specials to individual choices of whatever sounded good at the time. Everything was delicious, from appetizer to desert. The place definitely had charm and may be too simple for some, but perfect for anybody who loves good food at great prices served with a smile. My only complaint is that we live too far away away to become a regular. ”
“ We were sojourners in a strange land, and the previous evening we'd eaten a meal consisting primarily of fried foods at another homestyle restaurant. "Let's try something different," we said to each other, and decided to venture into Cox Family Restaurant. What did we order? More fried food. Because we live by the motto that more grease is more better. The menu in this place is super extensive. The side dish list is huge. There are numerous specials of a large variety. And there are enough standard menu items to please everyone in your party. The place was hopping even though it was a weird eating time (around 4pm). Our server was pleasant and efficient, which was a good thing because she was waiting on a lot of tables. Staying true to ourselves, we ordered plenty of fried food, including fried oysters, fried clams, fried flounder, fried shrimp, and fried oysters. Seared scallops, a ham steak, and sausage gravy with biscuits also made an appearance on our table. The fried food was top notch. Seriously. Everything was hot, fresh, and absolutely yummy. The fried shrimp was particularly delicious. Kid #3 had the fried shrimp sandwich and he ate every bite, which hardly ever happens. The only disappointment on the table was the sausage gravy, which tasted processed. Big shouts go to both the hush puppies and grits. The hush puppies (a basket was put on our table before the meal) had a unique onion flavor that was divine! I normally am not a fan of hush puppies, but I could have eaten the entire basket myself. And the grits. Well, the grits were the best I've ever eaten. Ever. Ever. Dessert came with the meal, which a few of us indulged in. ;) Should we ever find ourselves in the area again, we 100% will return to The Cox Family Restaurant. ”
