A new restaurant in Morris Park is highlighting the importance of family with food.

Barbecue wings, French onion soup and freshly grilled burgers with fries are just some of the staple dishes up for grabs at Morris Park Inn.

"Our burgers are primarily our go to everything. We get a lot of groups that come for the family side and they like a lot of our appetizers, but we also serve the hot plate which will be the mashed potatoes, vegetables and meat," says Geovanna Lacerra.

The restaurant brings a little nostalgia to the area, adopting the name of another, now closed eatery, that was loved by many in the community for years.

"Morris Park Inn is a resurrection of what Morris Park originally was. Family community somewhere where you can go where everybody's going to know who you are," says Lacerra.

Employees at the Morris Park Inn say they hope they will remain in the community for years to come.
