Family Tradition: A Cherokee Tradition

by: Shannon Bradford












When I used to live in Canton off Hwy. 140, I would sometimes stop by Family Tradition restaurant for lunch or dinner. I knew it would taste like a meal at Grandma's. They are known for their home cooked meals at very reasonable prices.

Not only do they have a location in the Hickory Flat area on Hwy. 140 between Canton and Roswell (a new building - the old one has since been torn down), but they also have a location off of Towne Lake Parkway at Rose Creek Drive in the Publix shopping center.

I dined there yesterday with my friend Gina. We had a delicious meal, ordering from the daily specials that included chicken & dumplings, fried green tomatoes, beef tips, meatloaf and a variety of fish. Meals come with a meat and either 2 or 3 veggies. The daily specials change but they also have fried chicken, salads, burgers, sandwiches and soups every day. The children's menu includes chicken tenders, grilled cheese, burgers, meat/veggie plate, shrimp and catfish.

Family Tradition has plenty of cozy booths but also large tables. While there yesterday, we saw several large groups dining together. This group, some of Woodstock's finest and bravest, were enjoying their lunch together and we were thrilled to see them there.


(Thank you for your service, guys!)

Both restaurants are open from 5:30 AM (a delicious breakfast) to 8:30 PM Monday through Saturday. Did I mention that they cater? When the food is that good, you almost have to cater!
