What Our Diners Are Saying

First time here. The food was outstanding and the waitress was personable and friendly. Nice clean restuarant with reasonable prices. Will definitely go back. -Connie Zurkammer

This was my first time coming to Parkway Cafe. I will be back!! Love the decorations and that all the coffee cups are different. I got the breakfast ponyshoe with bacon. The potatoes were perfectly crispy. Lovely and kind staff. We had a large group and they made sure we were fully taken care of during our meal. – Jaclynn Boley
