About

The Family Table started as a root beer stand at least 65 years ago. No one knows for sure when it was opened. Many people say," It's just always been there." It was just a small building with picnic tables until 1972. And some say, a hundred years ago a family raised race horses on the land. In 1972 the existing building was built and it became Decorah's A&W.

Years later it went through different owners and during the process the A&W franchise was dropped and it was renamed the Family Table. In November of 1993 Scott and Stacey Gossling purchased the restaurant. In the fall of 2003, the restaurant was completely remodeled and they put on an addition. Through the years the concept has always been the same at the Family Table, nothing fancy just good food.

Exactly 30 years later, in November of 2023 the Family Table was purchased by Corey and Amanda Sabin. With such a wonderful stable established, there will be no change (except Sabin was added in front of the Family Table name) to what has been the custom for years of family and friends gathering together to enjoy just some good old comfort food.
