The food and the service was great! Definitely worth stopping in for breakfast or lunch...

About a 10 minute wait to get in but we'll worth it. Service was excellent. Coffee was great. I had the corned beef hash with 3 eggs. Superb! Husband had the biscuits and gravy. Also excellent as I had to try it. This diner is highly recommended and if ever around this way again I would like to come back and try the breakfast tacos. read more

I'm obsessed with breakfast here. When you go, always get one of the specials, they are fantastic! Portions are good as are the prices. Typical dinner coffee, and you never see the bottom of your mug. The service is always good,v the servers are cute and friendly. The place is small so if you go on a weekend expect s sorry effort for a table. Old fashioned decor is cute too. Great little dinner experience. The only thing I would change are the televisions, I don't really like TV's in places that are meant for good conversations over coffee, but that is just my personal preference :) read more

Ate a late breakfast here this past Friday and was pleasantly surprised by the attentive wait staff and the delicious food. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's a cute little dinner with a lot of charm. Definitely a great breakfast/brunch spot! read more

First visit here and I'm sorry it took so long. It's a cool little place with that diner vibe. While it may be fairly small the menu is HUGE. Just an amazing number of choices. Today I had the urge for a wafflel and tried the strawberry and cream version. Last week I had brunch at Dante Next Door where I also ordered a waffle. Little ol' Southside Diner;s kicked DND's waffle right in the griddle. Twice. Seriously, it was awesome and inspired me to go back and try some different items which I will certainly do soon. Oh, and my server was very upbeat and personable and that never gets old. So, yeah, this place has a bunch of strong reviews and I certainly see why. Can't wait to back. read more

I went to this place basically on a whim and it seriously paid off! Service was fast and friendly. I told the waitress that I'm a vegetarian (she asked if I like corned beef) and she mentioned a florentine eggs Benedict, which I ended up having. It was DELICIOUS. Those caps are necessary. They added mushrooms and onions (their suggestion- great call) for me and took off the Canadian bacon without issue. The hollandaise sauce was perfection. I can't wait to discover what other great items they have on their menu! The diner itself is pretty small, with a counter and around 10-12 tables. At first I thought I might feel awkward not being a regular, but the waitress was very kind and I realized I was worried over nothing. Will absolutely be going back :) read more

Southside Diner - Florentine Eggs Benedict, with one of the best hollandaise sauces I've ever had - Diners Near Me - Parma, Ohio

Everything I've ever had including special flavored French toast or pan cakes has been delicious. Had lunch there once and the roast beef and corned beef sandwich was scrummy read more

So, I'm sitting here at this restaurant and my meal has been eaten. The flavor was good, but my wife is still waiting for her food for the 3rd time. The first time they added hot sauce when she specifically asked them not to, then they re-made it and brought it back out and there is hair on the plate- so, we asked again and they said "we will remake it again but it's not free!" NO ONE ASKED FOR IT TO BE FREE! Terrible service, filthy place! STAY AWAY! read more

Nice little diner. This is one of those little places that timing counts to be able to find a seat. But the food is worth it: great taste and easy on the wallet. My son was super excited to get his Mickey pancake with bacon. And I was super excited to get crispy cooked hash browns since most diners struggle with that. My bagel sandwich was tasty too. read more

We ordered two breakfasts togo via their website. One order of pancakes and an order of the house made corned beef hash and eggs. Was great. Will be back. In town to watch trains over in Berea. Southside will be on my list to revisit when we come back to the area to visit. read more

Loved the feel and atmosphere cut to the chase the food was cold and when we brought it to our wait staffs attention they rolled their eyes made us feel small and stupid like we dared to question her cooks two thumbs down read more

Good old South side diner. I always get the hash breakfast because it's that good. One of my favorite go to places in the area. It's a must try. One day I'll try something else....but get the hash. read more

Even during covid times, it felt the way a neighborhood diner should feel and taste. And reasonably priced too.

I love breakfast and Southside Diner aka "the Diner" is the best. Chicken fried steak is so big and tasty it hangs off the plate. Breakfast Burrito AWESOME Breakfast Tacos are the bomb! Have only had they gyro and onion rings for lunch, second best in this part of town next to Niko's. Have not had a bad meal or time at the Diner. Thank goodness they enlarged the space as I got tired of waiting outside on the weekends for a table. Of course I still waited, its that good! read more

I got the breakfast burrito which was pretty good. My dad got the chorizo breakfast tacos and they were crazy good. If you go here for sure get those tacos. read more

Great and homemade food and nice staff. They recently expanded but still need more room. That's the only downside is how close knit the seating is in the restaurant. read more

The corned beef hash was amazing. One of the best breakfast places I have been to in years. Great service, great food, super friendly atmosphere. read more

Omg. The breakfast tacos were one of the best meals I've ever had in my life! Fresh cilantro, pineapple, chorizo, pepper jack cheese. My daughter had the most awesome chick/waffles sprinkled with hot sauce, warm syrup, and powdered sugar. Yum!!! Hubby's gyro omelet was fresh and perfect, too. A menu with so many choices, I can't wait to come back! read more

Best breakfast place in Parma. A little pricey and wait for seating sometimes more the 10-15 min, but it worth it! My whole family favorite is breakfast tacos. Yummm... read more

Cute little diner with exceptional service. We interacted with many employees that were lovely. I ordered the pastrami benedict and although the eggs/home fries were cooked perfectly, the hollandaise lacked any sort of flavor which was disappointing. My boyfriend ordered the chopped sirloin and eggs and was also disappointed in the cook on his beef. Would probably revisit for the service alone though and just try something different!! read more

I have lived in Parma pretty much my whole life. Always wishing we had a perfect breakfast spot around the corner from me. Finally my family and I found a place! We love it so much here we invite our neighbors to join us haha.I have had everything on the menu and I have eaten some dishes more then once. Who doesn't favor a dish?! The restaurant is family owned and the customer service is outstanding. The food is the best of the best and I will continue to bring family and friends here. read more

This place was great. I had the country fried steak and egg dish. The steal had a sausage gravy on it which was fantastic. It had a slight spice to it and overall creamy. Substitute something else for the homefries/hash browns. They are not too great. Service was really good too, they filled my coffee 6 times in about 45 minutes. read more

Food was delicious. The place is very small. Staff was friendly. My only complaint was the coffee. It had a very weird flavor to it. I asked if it was flavored and was told no - I couldn't drink it and I'm a HUGE coffee drinker/lover read more

Best for local Menu was diverse enough for any palette. Husband and I always split meals - usually savory and sweet. He got the Nutella and pb French toast. And I got the Greek omelet. Perfect portions. Went home stuffed and needing a nap read more

Great brunch spot! Wife and I split the Gyro Benedict and the Barbacoa Hash. Both were very delicious and full of flavor. I would give a slight edge to the barbacoa Benedict for the delicious melty cheese. Coffee was fresh ground def much better than average. Service spot on. Expect to spend $15/person. We will return. read more

Such a great little diner! The staff was friendly and very attentive. The breakfast tacos were out of this world...some of the best I've ever had! Certainly worth checking it out if you're in the area! read more

Cute little breakfast place. Everything they make is good. Nice to have this in Parma.

Just a small local place. Delicious food sort of a hidden gem. The french toast specials are the best.

Every time I take my family here we are so happy! The staff are the nicest, they even remembered my order!

We really loved this place! I got some sort of breakfast tacos and they were soooooo good. The pancakes were also so good - you must check it out. the service was prompt, professional and friendly. read more

Quite frankly, I don't understand what people who rave about their food are talking about, and as for their advertising affordable.... I ordered one egg, toast, and home fries; my daughter ordered coffee, two eggs and home fries after having had to return her first request which was smothered with pepper; her fiancé ordered coffee and the crazy 8. He complained to me that the pancakes tasted strange and couldn't eat them. The bill came to $25. 35. My one egg breakfast cost $4.99, my daughter who had one egg more--her extra egg cost $1! I was told by my daughter's fiancé that the coffee was like mud--he only had two dips of it at $2.25 a cup. We'll never be back. I dislike leaving negative reviews, but the waitress wasn't even efficient enough to notice she should have brought cream and sugar for the coffee, one more place setting of silverware -- there were only two menus and two place settings of utensils when we were directed to our table) and salt and pepper; I had to ask for those things. read more
