Sally's Family Restaurant

Small town family eatery.
Amazing pie!
Service is super friendly.

Sally’s is a must when you come to Forest City! Nothing fancy, here. It’s a storefront diner with down home food. She serves breakfast and lunch, most days. But check before you go to be sure she’s open. I had the bacon cheeseburger (added tomato and lettuce), along with hot French fries. My wife had the grilled chicken breast with a side of egg salad. It was all cooked fresh, served hot, and absolutely delicious. We topped off the meal with pies and freshly made decaf coffee. I had the strawberry and my wife had the coconut. She makes all her own pies. Definitely TRY THE PIE! Highly recommended. Bring cash. I’ll try to add updated photos.

Always great food, friendly service and a welcoming home feel while dining! Sally and her staff do a wonderful job!

It was an unpretentious and welcoming place that served a solid meal. My waitress was extremely aware of any needs I might have and never let my coffee get cold. I don't think you'll find finer.

Small cozy restaurant great hot beef and food in general. Known for its delicious pies. Service excellent

Had Breakfast here this morning and it was Absolutely Delicious! Great service! Great Food! And Great Atmosphere! Definitely recommend this area Favorite

A trip to Forest City would not be complete without a meal at Sally's! Breakfast is traditional fare, but you can ask for a change up and get it how you like. It's served with a smile, good conversation, and plenty of refills for your cofffee or tea. The location on Forest City's main street, in the old bakery, gives old-timer's a reason to chat about the "good old days". It's definitely one of the bright spots left downtown.

Fantastic mom and pop restaurant. They make you feel valued!

Nice diner serving breakfast, and lunch on some days. Check their schedule before making plans. Some of the best restaurant bacon we have ever had. Toast was also done very well.

Small town social hub dining experience. Down to earth comfort food, properly done, which is a rarity today. This place is a gem. Splurge and have a piece of the homemade pie!

Sally's is everything that's wonderful about a small town place to eat. This wonderful Cafe in my hometown serves up the best homemade pies, filling and delicious breakfast and the best lunches you could imagine. I cannot recommend it highly enough for great service fantastic food and a warm friendly and inviting atmosphere, this is the place.

Greatest place for breakfast, pie and coffee! Great service and atmosphere. Love little local places, would come again!

Great service and wonderful food.

The food is so good and the owner is awesome.....she makes me a special breakfast sandwich....I love it. The waitress in the morning is so good. She always fills up my coffee cup. The restroom is clean also. Just good ole fashioned cooking the way mom used to cook.

Homestyle coooked lunches & breakfasts at the best sandwich shop in Forest City Iowa. Sally makes 8-10 pies every morning, Be sure to try her roast beef sandwich with gravy. It's a daily special. But order the pie with your meal, because here, the pies fly! Only Open weekdays!

Always a good day when you're at Sally's! Looking forward to my next meal there! Save room for the pie!!

Very good restaurant, small town atmosphere and friendly staff are great. Well worth a visit :)

I visited this restaurant while out of town. The wait staff was great. The quality of the food was wonderful, served warm and tasted great. This is one of those smaller town gems that usually only the local community is aware of.

My sister and I came for breakfast and it was delicious. Also brought home some coconut cream pie that was amazing, will definitely be back!

Just been there on July 20 for my birthday breakfast; had Hashbrown Deluxe and Pecan Pie. Absolutely loved both of them! However, I felt sort of uneasy when I saw the staff not wearing masks; they were, however, thoroughly sanitizing tables. Mind you, only cash is accepted.
