I think back to the time my son and I were in when they were one of the only two restaurants open in Greensboro during bad weather. He had been here all day, exhausted only two of them serving and running the restaurant and he was great and he was great again today. Thank you Joshua for all you do for the community. !!!

“Derek and his folks did an outstanding job for our daughters wedding of 200+ people! Derek is a great guy, very accommodating, and we LOVED his food! I even had some of the "Pickiest" of guests tell us how great the food was which says a lot! We will use Derek and his team for other events in the future! Great guy and even better food if that's possible!“

“Rachel and I ate at MJ's Saturday night and it was one of the Best meals that I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Michael Angelo is alive and well and working as a chef at MJ's. There is No Way that this restaurant is a 4.7, its got to be a solid 5. If you want the Best meal that you have ever eaten, try MJ's. You will be glad that you did !“

“Great food great employees will recommend them so glad I went“

“We love Culver’s ! Burgers are made to order and so good. They are still hot and taste freshly made. Staff is very friendly and polite!“

“the exciting atmosphere here is fantastic ! the staff (cooks, hosts, ..wait staff) & foods good too. me ham/ Bacon grits ( thick ones) & Eggs. biscuits hot fluffy.“

“Delicious food and fresh menu options, warm and comfortable atmosphere, exciting events, lots of televisions, very clean, and great staff. I could go on but you need to experience it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Family-owned diner that definitely didn't disappoint! I stopped in this morning, grabbed a seat at the counter, and was immediately greeted with a smile. I ordered the chorizo omelet, which came with two sides—I chose the home fries and sausage gravy. Everything was delicious and really hit the spot. Service was quick, the staff was welcoming, and I was in and out in no time. A great way to start the day! Highly recommend.“

“AWESOME! Little Mom& Pop diner. We went for breakfast and I had two eggs oe and a 5oz hamburger steak with grits. My wife had the Western Omelet. My eggs and burger were cooked perfectly and the grits were nice and smooth. The omelet had sautéed onions and peppers in it which a lot of places just add raw veggies into the mix. It was done they way it should be and perfect amount of cheese. We got there about 8:45am and the morn rush was gone but it is a very small place with maybe a dozen tables and booths. We were thrilled with the service and my coffee cup was always full. Parkers is a place we will definitely go back to in the future. 👍😁“

“The food here is exceptional! As other reviewers have noted, the portions are generous. The food tastes like it's home cooked. Everything is well seasoned and delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable about the dishes, and was extremely attentive during our meal. I will definitely be returning here soon.“

“Clean location, Great Food, Nice Ambiance, and clean bathrooms! Family approach!!!“

“Ordered the Granny and the Godfather Panini Melt and it absolutely hit the spot! I’m pretty sure you can’t go wrong with any option here. The dipping sauces also paired well. Instead of the duck fat fries we got broccoli which was soft and topped with shredded cheese. Not bad at all. If you do get fries, from what I observed people got huge portion sizes. I would absolutely come back here to explore more of the menu. They also have daily specials and happy hour prices. The music was awesome too. Great feel. Great hits from back in the day. And the waiter was outstanding. I think his name was Brian??? But definitely a guy you want serving/representing your restaurant. Thanks guys, fun spot !“

“great food, great staff! pricing is good too“

“What started as a $4.15 Happy Meal on a road trip the day after Christmas, proceeding to hungry and very angry parents late at night after several other restaurants ended up being closed or refusing to serve walk-in customers, ended with a $40 meal and the angel at the Jake’s Diner drive-thru. I don’t actually know what’s on the menu, and honestly, they probably could’ve served Lunchables and I’d have still given them a four star review. Thank you for being open late the night after Christmas, thank you to the nice girl at the window for simply wanted 3 chicken sandwiches and fries, one spicy, and making it happen. The food was great, the service was quick, and you saved our night.“

“Looking for a reasonably priced place to eat near the airport and found this diner! Service was great, as was the food .. and servings were extremely generous! We will definitely be back!!“

“It’s not often that I leave a review or comment on a restaurant, typically they would not be good based on what I see working in kitchens. This restaurant consistently impresses me with cleanliness. The staff are always pleasant to work with and the food looks and smells delicious. Definitely one I can recommend.“

“Fresh salads and great platters 😊“

“Riz is an amazing bartender. He will absolutely try to match you to your ideal cocktail and watching him work is an education.
For a hotel bar the atmosphere was great.
The bar is quite small, so if like me you like to sit up at the counter you may be sos at busy times.“

“Grill Cheese sandwich- $4.50 White sandwich bag- .45 cents. Tax- .35 cents = One grill cheese sandwich to go- $5.30. Or make 10 at home for $4.50 and save the bag and tax. America is in serious trouble. Todd's s not the problem. We are for allowing this to happen. I will never allow anyone to sell me a white sandwich bag for 45 cents again. Cannot afford this place any longer. Sorry for the owners.“

“Used to bake the best house pizzas in Kernersville. Their pizza has changed and it seems to taste like cardboard with a small amount of vegetables. Please bring back the original pizza!“

“You all Catered at my job today & it was a first time having it. Very tasty, filling & more flavorful than the competition!“

“We love Reel! They have the total package ! Atmosphere, great food & great staff !“

“Smitty’s has become a tradition for us. The food is great, but the people are better!❤️“

“My mother-in-law and I eat at Fitz on Main 2-3 times the three days they are open each week. We love all the food we have eaten here...from the French toast, the Shammy, and omelets to the cheeseburgers, hotdogs, crispy chicken salad and more and can't forget those amazing desserts by Danette. We love the atmosphere, even the closeness and sqeazing by the bar area to get to our table. That closeness is the same you feel from the staff, the friendly faces and regulars you see each week. You leave here filling good every time! Thank you, Fitz, April, Irma, Danette, Holden, and Tiffany and Margie! y'all rock!“

“This place is great. The food is great, and the staff is as well.“

“Wonderful customer service started at check-in and continued throughout the stay! The Bistro morning staff 3/19 was warm and welcoming! Very clean rooms, close to downtown and interstate. Only took 10 minutes to get downtown all weekend which was nice. Parking was great, you can park on whatever side of the property you are staying on. Would stay again!“

“I normally don’t write reviews. This was My Family and I first time here. It’s nothing fancy but it was nice. We had a big group (12) there was enough seating for us and our food came out fairly quick. There was an issue with our pizza being dropped (things happen) The lady at the counter was very nice and apologetic. They already had a new pizza in the oven and offered us chips or fries while we waited. Which the pizza came out in no time, she even brought it to us and apologized again and asked if we needed anything else. The young man busing tables was very friendly and helpful. I wish I would have got their names to give them kudos but they unfortunately don’t have name tags.“

“Went here for my 30th Birthday and me and my friends had a great experience. Jeff served us and he was OUTSTANDING!!! Very helpful and understanding when my friend wanted to switch his order. Loved my experience and we will definitely be back soon!!!!!

Update 2/13/2026 My friend and I visited again! Service was even better and Manager Eric was amazing! As soon as we sat down we were greeted he even checked on us throughout our visit! Thanks so much for the great service and food!!!“
