This is mine and my husband’s favorite diner in the entire valley! The food is so good, (best rye bread I’ve ever had in my LIFE) the atmosphere is exactly what you would want in a diner and the servers are so friendly! We especially love my girl, Frankie! She is the sweetest, so funny and an absolute gem! We go all the time and it’s such a comfort food/spot for us now. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Local, community restaurant that services breakfast and lunch, that seems like it's been there forever (since mid 1960's. Service is excellent, very fast, prices are reasonable, lots of food.I had a breakfast dish and overall it was enjoyable but the gravy on the biscuits was bland for my taste. I will definitely go back.

I enjoyed everything. It’s a quiet peaceful place to eat. I thought it was cool to see the elderly people just enjoy each other’s company having breakfast.

This review honestly saddens me to the core. My wife and I used to dine at Parsons monthly- some times weekly. We , for nearly 30 years, always each got a patty melt. They were just reliably good. Not great- but good enough. The restaurant is a mom & pop place in our neighborhood.November we went there- had our usual patty melts, and within 40 minutes both of us were sick! Throwing up our meal. Being that we were home all week, this was our only outing, and we both became violently ill, we pinned it on possibly being old meat.December we decided to try it again. We really weren’t SURE it had been the meal that made us sick, and we had a previous 30 year streak of good experiences.Again we order our trusty usual meal. This time when we were presented our plates the melts were BURNT. I mean charcoal burnt. Not a little, I mean blackened rye bread on both sides. I guess my poker face wasn’t as good as I thought it was and the waitress said,” I wouldn’t eat this like that, ya want me to take it back?” But as she said the right words, her body language and tone did not match. She had already released the plates and was walking away. My husband and I didn’t even answer as she was already walking away. As she pivoted to leave she had the audacity to suggest “next time be sure to ask them not to over cook them”. Whaaat?? 30years of ordering never have they asked if we prefer it regularly grilled or extra blackened. No offer of compensation, such as a few dollars knocked off the bill- nothing.We ate what we could, guzzled our sodas to help compensate for the overly cooked meal- NEVER ONCE DID SHE OR ANYONE COME BACK TO SEE IF WE WERE OK, or needed refills.So, we have given Parsons a good dose of leaving alone. These people knew us, knew what we ate, we didn’t even have to state our order, they’d say “the usual?”I hope they notice we aren’t returning.I strongly suggest trying another place. This place’s integrity is as lacking as the updated decor. You can do better.

Food is great! But honestly this place needs to get remodeled. Chairs looking all ripped & ugly. This place is popular but needs to do better!

Great staff, large portions and reasonable prices! Sandwiches are particularly good. (We were there for lunch). Down home atmosphere.
