Before last weekend, I would have given Parkside Cafe a 5-star rating. But, last weekend, we had an issue. My Mother-in-Laws and my food came out cold. Ok.. things happen.. it's the recovery that really makes a difference. We waited an exorbitant amount of time for the food to be replaced, and again, it was cold! We are talking eggs and home fries.. nothing major. The manager took all our food and drinks off the bill, and as we walked out, we stopped to thank the manager for taking care of us, and he decided to ARGUE with us that we don't know what we are talking about and his food is NEVER cold! He sat there making comment about my attitude, saying he didn't like my tone. Really? If he only knew the attitude and tone I could have had. Its sad, because we liked it there but will never be back now! read more

Food was dual and dry. But the 1 star is due more to the managers attitude and getting in my face as soon as we walked in. He asked if we had a mask and I said yes in my purse as I went to get it out he approached me IN MY FACE and said it's not about money and went off on a political rant! I would have walked out but my hubby really wanted to try this place so we stayed and the food was as bad as his attitude!! We won't be back, bet that! read more

The place was packed but service was 1000 out of 10 immediately when we walked in the door. Servers were over at our table within seconds. We all had breakfast food and it was delicious. We will be back read more

Parkside is amazing! My boyfriend got a breakfast skillet and I got the Parkside Perfecta. We were so impressed. Great price for all the food we got, quick service, and wonderful staff. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area! read more

I ventured into Parkside Cafe after reading the Yelp reviews. I have yet to try their regular food, but I have had breakfast there 3 times now. I have loved everything I have tried other than their gravy (it is too thin and tastes canned). Their Greek Skillet is really good and probably my favorite thing so far. I like to order it with my eggs over easy so that the yolk runs down into the potatoes, gyro, etc. Sprinkle on some salt and some ketchup. It's SO good. Make sure you order the grilled biscuits as your bread, they are awesome. Their Kielbasa is also delicious! They slice it down the center and grill it. Yum. The Quiche Lorraine is pretty good and I like the fresh fruit it came with. The staff is always friendly and efficient. We have enjoyed our experiences at Parkside Cafe and we will continue to visit. read more

On our regular breakfast rotation now! This place is solid. So glad we decided to stop in. Dining area is bigger than it looks from the outside. We were seated fairly quick for how busy they were. Coffee was actually ok. Food was better. Huge portions and great on taste! I ordered some special they had going on that was 3 pancakes, 3 eggs, and 3 bacon for like $6-7. Too much food! Luckily I had my family with me who each took a pancake. Pancakes were fluffy and had a nice texture. Hubby ordered the country fried steak,eggs, hashbrowns, and a grilled biscuit. My son ordered a bacon and egg sandwich on a croissant with hashbrowns. Everyone was very happy with their food. That grilled biscuit was on point. Service was great and the food did not take long to come out. They also have a lunch/dinner menu that features a wide variety of options...or order breakfast for dinner! Great place and easy on your wallet. Def recommend if you are in the area. read more

First timer! This place is great! Nice cute diner setting and the staff was nice as well. I can't believe I have never seen this place because it's literally right down the street from my job. I called to place an order for pick up. I was craving corned beef hash (it's more of like an addiction) and asked the young lady on the phone if it was prepared with potatoes. She (not so kindly) responded "I don't know, I don't eat that stuff." Really? Well I don't smoke crack but I bet I could give you a fairly accurate description of it. Anyway, that did not take away from my experience here. The corned beef hash was amazing! The eggs were cooked perfectly and I will definitely be retuning to try some of their other menu items. *Tip when you pull into the parking lot don't even bother going to the left, just go to the right because the left is a one way with only 4 spaces and if they are full your only option is to pull back onto a busy 49th Street. read more

Tried Parkside again - for lunch this time. I had the Reuben sandwich, fries, and coleslaw. The Reuben was good, but was on pumpernickel bread (I prefer rye/pump swirl) and it seemed to be toasted bread, rather than grilled with butter. To me a Reuben should be somewhat "greasy" on the outside and this was dry. Still very tasty, and probably a lot healthier, but that's not my goal when ordering a Reuben. Everything else was very good. On a side note, there was a customer that was very hard to please sitting a few tables away, and 2 different waitresses helped with their "issues" in a very pleasant way. I have to give both of these ladies credit, because most people at some point would have said enough and sent the manager over to deal with it, but they handled the whole situation very professionally. read more

Everything was amazing. Had the bagel, chicken sandwich, fries, turkey rice soup, apple pie with vanilla icecream, the fries and homemade ranch! Our sever Madison was also the best, will be back forsure! read more

So my friend was visiting from out of town and we wanted to meet folks from Largo for bkfst / brunch on a Sun morning and I'm in St Pete . . . not much in the middle, but looked on Yelp and found this gem. At first we were disappointed we wouldn't have a true brunch experience with mimosas and atmosphere, but upon arrival we learned they have a full bar . . . atmosphere is family diner, not trendy, but Yelp prepared us for that. They have an extensive menu for bkfst and the decisions were not easy. The griddled biscuit had been suggested by others so it was ordered by a few of us and YUM! The prices are in line with the atmosphere and won't break the bank. They serve other meals too. Everything was fresh, but the service which was friendly. I will be back as they had an amazing case filled with home made cakes and pies . . . I must try them!! Enjoy! read more

We were desperate to find a breakfast spot after driving around St. Pete all morning. We finally arrived here at about 10 on a Sunday morning to a completely backed room (lobby included). Disappointed, we almost left to find someplace with a seemingly shorter wait. But we got lazy and planned to wait it out. So glad we did! Park side cafe really hit it out of the park! We waited less than 5 minutes and were seated in a great little booth with an excellent waitress. The menu had a wide variety of options, and I loved my veggie omelette. The portion sizes were huge, and were shockingly inexpensive. I was thrilled with the choice, and felt marvelously satiated after the meal. I don't plan to be back to the area soon, but would recommended it to anyone who is traveling through. read more

If you're looking for a solid breakfast in a diner atmosphere with good customer service, you can't go wrong with Parkside Cafe. Weekend mornings are typically the busiest times (as to be expected), but the service doesn't fall behind. I haven't yet tried the lunch, desserts, or dinner here. If you receive Val Pak coupons, there is usually a $2 off coupon for this place. read more

Decided to try a new place for my weekend breakfast and saw that this place was popular on Yelp. Upon arriving it was extremely busy which is a good sign and I was hopeful that the meal would live up to the hype. The meal in itself took a long time to come out but I understand because of the amount of people that were there. My meal however was not what I ordered and because it took so long I didn't want to send it back seeing as I was starving by this point. I am honestly not even sure the name of the food they brought to me but it wasn't enjoyable at all so I can't give the food a fair assessment. read more

For a traditional breakfast spot, it was perfect! Local mom & pop place, cheeky decorations. They did a decent job handling a busy crowd during Covid times, food was good - nothing fancy. Coffee was plentiful and wait staff was great and friendly. read more

This is the most unfriendly restaurant manager I have ever encountered. We asked for a quiet table for a short business meeting. The rude male manager put us in a room with a loud 20 top breakfast party. When the kind waitress tried to move us, he said no, there is another group coming in for this area. When we asked (politely) for a booth near the door that had just been vacated, he said "Look, I have been a manager here for long time. I say you cannot sit where you want". Very condescending attitude. I have never been treated so rudely by a restaurant employee. We moved our meeting to another restaurant and will never come back. read more

Had been here once or twice for breakfast and I was impressed with the food, the cleanliness and the efficiency of this place. Like a well oiled machine. Anyway since I was in the neighborhood..... Had a fantastic blacked chicken Cobb type salad. Big and filling. Pecans as well. I will tell you I'd order it again tomorrow. Loved the chicken as well, tasty, well seasoned but not at all dry. Came with a big bowl of Italian soup. Very good as well. Kevin got a philly steak as big as his head! Looked good-he was on it like a duck on a June bug and devoured it as well as 90% of the mountain of fries it came with. Waitress was great- a wise guy but she wore a Gators apron so I knew she was ok! Well we both decided we'd go out of our way to go back. read more

We have been patrons for many years but usually breakfast or dinner! We got hooked on the fabulous pork steaks! After covid, they cut back ro days and eventually 3 nights til 8. Prices rose a little but we were glad to have the nights back. Last week, to our surprise there's now an up charge of $1.25 plus when the salads came they were noticeably smaller! Same quality but less. And the pork steaks, although nice sized are thinner. Pork is cheaper than beef but at $15.99, it was way overpriced! We like the place and help but enoughs enough! Won't be back soon! Sadly!! read more

When you first walk in, you notice that it is clean. We were greeted at the door by a very nice lady who led is to our seats. It has an old fashion diner style bar which gives it a nostalgic feel. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. I ordered sweet tea and hubby had a strawberry milkshake. The tea could be a bit sweeter for my taste but I'm from the south where we like it super sweet. The milkshake was made with fresh strawberries and was awesome. I had the country fried steak breakfast and hubby had the corn beef classic breakfast. The eggs were a little more done than over medium but thats ok. Everything was good. read more

Parkside is doing everything right to keep you safe while eating out. All serving staff are wearing masks, menus are single use, seating is properly distanced, and each area is disinfected after use. The great quality of the food hasn't changed. And now they are open for dinner, too. read more

Such a great mom and pop place. Quick service and good food. Their coffee isn't that great but the food makes up for it.

This place is an absolute gem. Their grits are so delicious and the perfect consistency. Everything we ordered was super yummy, even the coffee was great. Service is out of this world. Everything came out really quick and piping hot. Our server, Beverly, was really helpful and super nice!! Pro tip: The sausage gravy is sweet and savory, perfect topping for literally anything, even your eggs! We will definitely come back here while we're in the area. Such a winner! read more

Great for large gatherings. The service is fast and friendly. The food is very tasty. If you're a big fella the booth space will accommodate you. Had the banana bread French toast with eggs & bacon.

I'm comparing this to Trip's Diner in St. Pete which right now set the par. Ordered Lorraine quiche. Italian deep dish. Can't remember what it's called. It has potatoes and meat at the bottom and fried egg on top. Coffee and water. Old place w/ old decor. SUMMARY: Slightly below average food. Right price. Very good service. read more

Go to Skyway Jack's instead. Staff was waking around complaining. OJ was watered down yuck & coffee was weak. Even for a diner it lacked that atmosphere, you felt like you were an inconvenience for asking even the simplest questions about the menu. Was also told they don't substitute anything something everywhere else will do within reason. We got up and left without eating, went down the street to Skyway Jack's read more

Good solid breakfast. The place is quite large with two dining rooms. Plenty of parking. The breakfast menu is quite extensive. Lots of good choices. We had a combo meal and a skillet with eggs, potatoes, ham.... Coffee was very good. I noticed they grind the beans just before they brew. I wish they had fresh cream or half and half instead of those processes little jugs. Fair prices. Good selection. And lollipops 2/0.25 on the way out. Good place. read more

Very good for breakfast The service was friendly and fast even though the place was friendly. Their pancakes were delicious and fluffy how I prefer them. Everything was cooked to perfection. Nice local place in Pinellas Park but a good recommendation for home cooking. read more

We stopped in for breakfast this morning and enjoyed it. It has the feel of an old diner but a good bit larger. Service was fairly quick in spite of getting caught in the post church crowd. They only have a few servers and they really hustle. My coffee cup stayed full! I had the Italiano skillet. Two eggs over easy, potatoes, peppers, onions, sausage and meatballs. It was excellent and he portion was enough for two. I had a grilled biscuit as my side. Yummy. My father had the quiche special with a side of hollandaise. He really liked it. This is definitely worth another visit. read more

Been coming here for years and it's been consistent. It is as expected no frills, but great diner breakfast. Corn beef hash is my go to, though it's not homemade, it still hits the spot. Grilled biscuit is a must try. If you play Pokémon Go there is a gym and pokestop right in the gym. read more

Parkside Cafe - Corn beef hash and extra well done hashbrowns is the ultimate breakfast combo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

This place fills up fast and I know why. This is my new favorite place. I ordered a tuna melt with fries and it was delicious.

We eat breakfast there maybe once per month and will continue to do so. As a whole, the food has been good and enjoyable. I typically get an omelet, my boyfriend orders eggs with biscuits and gravy and we split a banana pancake. We tried it for dinner once....stick with going for breakfast! The service...well, extremely hit or miss even though we see the same servers when we go. There is one that will "honey" or "sweetie" you to death but you will never get the extra glass of water you asked for while you are sitting there with an empty glass or the extra napkins you requested before you food ever came out. read more

Just for the record I have been eating at Parkside Cafe in Pinellas Park, FL for over 10 years. In 10 years they have not given me a free meal or even a free desert, they don't even know my name. When it is my need to eat healthy stuff I go there, about twice a month. I know when I eat there I will get a large fresh salad and a fresh vegetable with my meal. None of that peas and carrots stuff. Everything is made from scratch and really good. Their home made soups are fantastic. My favorite is a toss up between Lemon Orzo Chicken and Beef-Barley soup. I even like their Navy Bean soup, which I do not like anywhere else. And you get a big bowl not a cup. Their daily specials are always my choice. My favorite is their Salmon Divan with noodles. The first time I expected little chunks of Salmon on noodles with a white sauce. It arrived with a very large cut of salmon over noodles with a heavenly herb scampi sauce with broccoli, artichokes hearts and sun dried tomatos, just the thought of it makes me drool. This week I had their Salmon Picatta, it wonderful with capers and lemon butter sauce. And don't think they have only fish, their Beef Tips over Noodles is a winner. I love their Lamb Shank, in fact I just had lamb shank at a so-called Italian restaurant which tasted exactly the same as Parkside Cafe but was twice the price. Their pork chops are tasty but I recommend you skip the veal. Yes their prices are low, a full meal of home made soup or fresh salad, a garden vegetable, very taste rolls (if you ask) and a fantastic entree for under $10.00. Service is caring if not PC, the waitresses usually remind me of my favorite aunt. They make sure you enjoy your meal, I believe they really care, and if you are nice they may call you "honey". read more

My wife and I patronized this establishment for breakfast on 5/52012 after reading some reviews on Yelp and came to the conclusion though while it was better than Denny's it was far cry from a fantastic dining experience. I ordered their Classic Eggs Benedict While my wife ordered the Garden Skillet. The food was OK. It wasn't that great, the food seemed to have a lack of lust and the water was warm. The server was nice and speedy but the environment was also a Denny's quality place as well. On the whole all things considered I wont rate it as a favorite but I wont avoid it like the plague, more of a 'I tried it and I'll keep looking' place. read more
