About Us
Our Story
Altoona Family Restaurant opened its doors on October 3rd, 2005, founded by Eddie and Drita Sabani, who dreamed of creating a place where people could enjoy homemade meals and genuine hospitality.
Almost 20 years later, that dream has grown into one of the most beloved dining spots in the Altoona–Eau Claire area.
Our Mission
To serve homemade, locally sourced meals with warmth, integrity, and community spirit — creating a place where everyone feels at home.
