Parkside - High Springs

Having grown up with Arlo Guthrie's song and living just a few miles from his home, we felt compelled to have breakfast there one morning. The service was warm and welcoming, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious!

The food at this restaurant was fantastic! The kids' meals are ample without being too much. The mac and cheese was a standout favorite! My husband really enjoyed the wings and fried okra. The fried catfish sandwich was also delicious! Our waitress was friendly and the service was prompt. I would definitely make a special trip to dine here again!

Visiting town for the first time decided to visit this humble looking restaurant. Went there with my family of five, host was polite as well as the one that greeted us and brought us the drinks. However this second waitress who took our order was very dry no hi how are you, welcome, is this your first time, absolutely no smile. Brought us our order, my daughter said she had asked for full cooked sunny side up (maybe worded incorrectly but fully cooked is fully cooked) This waitress who happened to be THE OWNERS DAUGHTER instead of saying “oh miscommunication let me fix it for you instead she decided to make it a point my young daughter did not ask for it and had a nasty attitude about it. Us the family in shock at her reaction over some eggs we jumped into our defense keeping it respectful and civil because we are owners of a business as well, we have manners, common sense and are compassionate to other people. She tooked the eggs rolling her eyes walking away so upset yelling out loud at kitchen door to her employees she needed the order replaced and I could hear her mumbles. We felt in a twilight zone like it is not even 1030am. She then brings them back within leas than five minutes and they looked like they were tossed in but put on the same plate and still runny yolk on it like come on on lady some people just can’t do runny yolk…So I the mother called her back handed the plate politely said to just take it off the check. This scene was unbelievable she got sooooo upset and walked away worse then she did the first time and in a matter of a split second this other waitress walked up to us with the right eggs as if she knew this other crazy Karen had brought the second eggs still runny on purpose. This waitress was very nice and polite I made sure to tell her that. Now on the other hand HEY KAREN IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK AS A WAITRESS AT YOUR DADS BUSINESS ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. It’s very unfortunate to say but at that point it was hard not to notice that were the only Latinos there and she was treating all other customers decently. Ironically this miserable waitress looser Karen was wearing a shirt that said “Courtesy of the red white and blue”. How can a family member have the nerve to represent her dad business like that unless they are all like that. At this point we won’t ever know because we will never step foot in there again.

The food was mediocre. Unfortunately, the owner's daughter was quite unpleasant and rude. When we requested a correction to our order, she rolled her eyes, shook her head, and showed a lot of attitude, even going so far as to tell my boyfriend he was wrong. While I can't say for certain that she was being racist, it's worth noting that we were the only Latino family in the restaurant, and she treated us poorly from the moment she started serving us.

Service is horrible! Young girl (not sure her name) is and has been very poor for waitressing. You work for tips, one would think service would be important. Forbid you want toast with your breakfast. They cater to certain patrons, others are left out to dry. Food isn 't that great. Place is filthy on top of everything else, IDK how the Health Department allows such filth. Owner doesn 't seem to mind that my experience is always a bad one. Unfortunately, I have to frequent there due to my boss but I will no longer eat there. I will just sit while boss eats.
