Great Service & Delicious Food @ Parkside Cafe in Medford, OR. ! We were warmly greeted upon entry, encouraged to pick a spot, and enjoyed our time here on a Friday morning. Nice, comfortable atmosphere, like usual. Wonderful holiday decor throughout. I appreciate them keeping the clear dividers between the booths to provide more privacy for each party. We had the pleasure of listening to a gentleman who played the guitar and had a wonderful singing voice serenade one of the Owners. It was her birthday! Crepes were savory and delicious. Bacon crispy. Coffee flavorful. Great breakfast. read more

Parkside has the BEST breakfasts in the Rogue Valley. Great food, great friendly staff, very fair prices and a fun, enjoyable atmosphere. I'm ALWAYS happy to go there. It feels like family. It's my favorite restaurant in the valley. read more

We sat her for 20 minutes before out order was taken and then a full 1 hour and 15 minted until ea got our food.

We are currently stay in the Medford area to visit family and wanted to look for a mom and pop place to visit. Looking around on Yelp I found Parkside Cafe. From the reviews it looked to be a great place. It isn't very far from the hotel we're staying at. It a very nice place as you walk in. A lot of conversations going on. Lots of smiles. The decor is pretty cool. With assorted street signs on the wall. They have a mimosa bar you can sit at if you want. We were able to get a seat quickly as we walked in. The staff is very friendly. They didn't take long to give us menus and bring us coffee. The coffee was great. We sat at a very comfortable booth that gave me a great view of the restaurant. After a good look at the menu our server came to take our order. She was a very nice lady but seemed to be very distracted. I don't know how many times we had to repeat several things to her. Only for her to come back and ask again about an order. My wife asked for a smaller size of the omelette that she wanted and it didn't register I guess bcz it was a full size order when it arrived. I ordered the pork chop breakfast that looked delicious. But the pork chop had zero flavor and the eggs tasted weird. I don't know if it was the oil they use. But I found it odd. I wouldn't say the food was bad. Just meh. Ok. I was not impressed at all. My wife seemed to enjoy her food. But it was just too much for her to eat. Then as we cashed out. I showed the lady my coupon from checking in on Yelp and she replied they don't take Yelp coupons. So be aware of that if you go here for a visit. They also don't give Veteran discounts. We're not from the area. So it's not big deal I guess. Just thought this place would not be a go to place for us. Maybe if we come back I'll try another dish to eat. read more

Food - 5 Split a Denver w/ a side of hash. Hash browns and hash cooked to perfection. 4th trip here and they are a model of consistency on cooking properly. Most places just simply cant get the hash browns right (crispy on outside, not dried out and moist inside). Service - 5 Pro waitress... doesn't use a note pad an is 4/4 spot on the order each time. This place is like it used to be in the old days... I hit at least once every trip to Medford. read more

Great food and a bottomless cup of coffee. The eggs Benedict were excellent. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back even though they are very busy in the morning. The service is amazing. I had to cover my coffee cup to get them to stop! Don't overlook them. read more

I asked the hotel clerk if she had a breakfast recommendation, and her face lit up as she said: "I sure do! The ladies at the Parkside Cafe will take very good care of you." It was to be on a Saturday morning, and my wife and I decided popular breakfast places fill up on weekends so we should get there early. Sure enough, we arrived to a nearly full parking lot about half an hour after they opened and there were still a few tables available but lots of people arriving. They looked to us like regulars. The service was excellent. Our server was quite busy ... and yet getting our order correct was important enough that she popped by to confirm the details of our toast order. The menu had enough choices to keep me happy for weeks, the food was served at the right temperature, and it was good. Bottom line: For straightforward American breakfast fare without fancy frills and high prices, and with attentive service, this is the place. read more

We ate here twice for breakfast while in Medford and really enjoyed the experience. The service is great with a friendly wait staff. The food was also really good. Can't wait to be back in Medford to have a meal at Parkside Cafe! read more

This is a good to place food and service ate always supreme. Don't know what I would do without you.

The place smelt weird. I should've left at the first sign of the smell and look of the place, but my daughter really wanted crepes. I ordered 3 crepes for her and a breakfast sandwich for myself. She took one bite and said she didn't like it. I took her plate to taste for myself and to my surprise there was a hair in her food! Super gross. I didn't finish my breakfast sandwich. I paid and just left. I don't get the high reviews that are here on Yelp. I actually came here because of the high reviews. The area is sketchy too. There are a bunch of people shooting needles in their arms on the outside of the restaurant. It's across the street from a park and shopping center, so you'd think it was nice, but it's not. I will never go here again. read more

Had to come back. The servers are very nice and fun. The food is excellent and plentiful. At 9:30 am it was crowded, as usual, but within 2 minutes we were seated and had coffee. For a crowded restaurant there is a quiet a roar of voices--not distracting since there are plexiglass dividers between booths. Order taken in maybe 5 minutes. Food delivered 12 minutes later. It doesn't get any better than this. read more

Food was alright, the proportions were also alright. I ordered over medium egg, but I got overeasy egg. Quiet clean, service was alright. They are staff. read more

IF you are hungry this place portions are HUGE! I am 6ft 220lb x-nfl player and I could barely finish their hungry man's dish. Pancakes are huge! A full plate. Kids meals are cheap and comes with a ton of food. I usually don't review unless the establishment surprises me! Great prices, great service, great food! = 5 stars read more

Love this place. All the staff is super friendly and the food is always great. A little hidden gem

Kathy and Tami are so nice ! The food is always good and a fun place to eat at. I wrote a review before and it diapeared.

Just your average strip mall restaurant, food was less than mediocre. There was food all over the floor that hadn't been cleaned up from previous guests. read more

The waitress was very sweet and took care of all of us as we had a party of 10. The food was really good and well priced. The atmosphere feels very homey and comfortable. All in all, a very good experience read more

Good food and a great spot for breakfast! Down home service from the ladies at the Parkside Cafe! Convenient location, in my experience they are always busy! read more

The food is amazing and huge portions. I had the rancher omelet with a piece of french toast on the side no extra charge. Cyrus was an outstanding waiter, and cook. Today he served us and always provides great conversation and service. read more

Oh my goodness! What a great find and on whim too. This cafe was the first place I arrived at, after driving 5 hours north on Fathers Day 2019 and what a find it was! So Thankful. The Cafe in itself has a lot of history to it, and I was waited on by one of the owners who was just on it, funny, and just an overall gem with a funky spirit, wish I could remember her name. Its a local joint with good, homey, down to earth, tasty, breakfast comfort food and it was affordable. Parkside Cafe is definitely for those who enjoy a little funky eclectic simple diner-ish, unassuming type of place. I'm really happy to have found it, it was a great way to start my adventure. Parking was easy, it seemed like a locals hangout, and the service was great too! Like I stated, it was one of the new owners who served me, she was friendly, quirky and spunky. in fact she and the other co-owner, were excited and happy I was on an adventure in their area that they both suggested i stay awhile and were kind enough to offer some suggestions of sights to see, visit and enjoy. One was the Oregon Coast. I didnt make it, as it was 4 hours away. But Im hopeful to return, if i still live in the bay. Yelp has a checkin discount too, 15% off $10! read more

Parkside Cafe - Best breakfast ever. Bacon, 2 Over Medium Eggs, Hashbrowns, toast & a tall cup of Cranberry juice. Perfect after a long unplanned roadtrip. - Cafes Near Me - Medford, Oregon

Actually, I meant to give it 3 1/2 or 3 stars. Food is ok but they need to hire another waiter or waitress. I was able to all down a waitress for more coffee. It never came. This place obviously has a lot of locals as their customer base. Food was meh. Coffee was great. Probably won't be going back there but will try many of the other options around town. It was my 2nd time there. Food was better before. No one ever came by to check on me and ask if I needed anything else (which I did). read more

The food was average. The service was terrible. Once our food was delivered our waitress disappeared. We had to go find her. She was at the bar filling drink orders. The impression we got, she was doing us a favor waiting on us. Find a different job. We will never go back. John M read more

Great prices, great food, and an AMAZING staff. This is a great little cafe. The Benedict boats are great, the waffles are malty and crisp, there are just so many great things to say about this place. If you haven't tried it, you should give it a whirl. read more

My favorite restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Their home fries with onions and bell peppers are always perfect. The food always arrives hot, which I am pretty picky about. They have an extensive menu for a small restaurant. Small town feel. Tammy and Cathy are super nice. read more

Ordered a club sandwich on white toast w curly fries. The bread was un-toasted and the fries were cold and limp. I called to let them know and she argued with me that the bread was toasted. I think I would know! She said it would be 10 minutes to pick up. I was there in 9. On the phone she said it sat there waiting for me. Lie. I paid - then sat down and waited another few minutes before getting my food. Fries should have been hot. I used to love this place but the last 3 times have been a huge disappointment. They must have a new cook and he doesn't have a clue. No more chances. I am done. read more

This place ALWAYS has amazing food but don't go after 1030 or you'll be there for well over an hour. Not a single wait staff has acknowledged how long we sat here waiting. Real bummer! read more

This place is a small southern Oregon gem, very local feel and flavors! Great prices too. Support local businesses! read more

This sucks I'm having to write this review, we always loved this place! We are regulars.. This morning my husband ordered our breakfast to go, we get home and realized it's the wrong order. So he calls first and they basically told him to keep the food and come back in and grab our order that was sitting there.. we live 15 min away so by the time he gets there it will be mildly warm, then by the time he gets home it will be cold.. it was a simple task to just remake it so we have a warm breakfast. Is that really that difficult? We paid this place to make us hot food seems like a fair request. eventually she ended up setting the phone down while I was talking to someone and asking if it's ok that they remake our order. After a few minutes of waiting I just asked for a refund and they agreed. We asked them if they wanted us to return the order and they said no. What a waste of food and time.. read more

I recently moved back to the area and friends took me here for breakfast. The menu is very good, lotsa yummy items to choose from. I particularly enjoyed the Eggs Benedict (although they dinna top the Gold & Silver Restaurant in Reno, NV). Service is a high point, we were well pampered, lol. And, most important, the food was great and the coffee is tasty! I've been back again, same wonderful experience and have always needed the "to go" box, portions are generous read more

Parkside Cafe came THROUGH. we got the rancher with hash browns and the breakfast quesadilla(sausage with gravy for dipping) with home fries. Whew! I'm so full and it was really good. This was my first time, but there's so much on the menu I want to try! #imnotpregnant #foodbaby read more

Food was OK but I wish places would keep their online menus updated. Found prices to be about 30% higher than online prices. Too spendy for me. read more

Yummy omelettes and potatoes. We should have split it! Lots of great menu choices. Service was spot on.

What a mistake. Food was less than mediocre, dirty napkin and table; shabby in general, which is a shame because the service was the saving grace. Fox News says it all regarding ambiance. I had bland eggs, greasy hash browns, limp bacon and mold on the side of my toast. Not interested in returning. read more

Came in with my daughter for breakfast on our way from California to Washington stopped here Eat. When I to use the bathroom first the door is completely stuck and will not hardly open or close then after we go to the restroom we go sit down at our table and there are hundreds of ants all over the table from the wall calling all over the place the food was absolutely horrible how this was rated the best breakfast in Medford is beyond me do not recommend at all read more

I come in here regularly and I've never had bad service! Its a heartwarming dining experience because the waitstaff & regular customers are good friends. Its cute & funny when they tease each other. I like the car parts on the wall but my favorite decoration is a large pedestrian crossing sign that still lights up. My friend ordered tater tots and they were golden and so crispy! The best tots we've ever had! read more

Think they might be a lil racist. Im Asian, went in and was told they aren't seating; walked out, watched a dude go in and get seated he was white. after reading reviews of how slow they can be I'm glad we didn't get seated. What a weird group of workers. Lost my business fashoooo. Later looosers read more

So happy we found this gem! Had some time to kill during appointments so we checked Yelp to find a breakfast place! The people were so welcoming and happy! Seated us right away and made sure to bring drinks. We ordered a combo that had a little of everything and it was all cooked exactly as we ordered! We have found our new local cafe!! read more

Breakfast quesadillas are amazing! The price even in this economy is amazing for the portions. Been coming here since I was a teen and will continue to visit read more

One of the best breakfasts we've ever had. I ate a California Bennie boat with transcendental tater tots. My companions had Nutella crepes and the mouth watering pork chop special. The service was fantastic. The waitresses are darling. The dining room is being updated a little, but not too much. Do not miss this humble cafe. read more

Run by amazing women who know how good cafe/coffeehouse breakfast & lunch should be. Fantastic prices on big portions. Not overly greasy, but has that 'greasy spoon restaurant' deliciousness. Although I usually get my food to go, the staff is fast and friendly. You'll feel at home when you go to Parkside Cafe. read more
