If you're a fan of classic diners, this place is a must-visit. It's spotless, offers a great menu, and features quick, friendly service, along with the absolute best homemade steak fries—cooked to perfection! I had the Roadrunner sandwich, which consisted of sliced roast beef with cheese, tomato, and green chiles on grilled sourdough. My husband ordered the patty melt, and he thought it was fantastic. The service was excellent. We will definitely make this our go-to lunch spot whenever we're back in the Parker area. Overall, it was a delightful experience. Thank you!

The food was enjoyable, and the service was good as well. However, our experience was marred by an incredibly loud and disruptive waitress (not ours). With her bright red fake hair and visibly pregnant belly, she talked incessantly throughout our meal. Her voice carried through the entire restaurant as she loudly shared her dramatic tales of being fired from her previous job "for no reason," boasting about her skills, and vowing to stand up to disrespect. She continued to rant about difficult customers, making it hard for us to enjoy our time. To make matters worse, her constant chatter was so distracting that it hindered the rest of the staff from doing their jobs effectively. Overall, her presence was toxic to the atmosphere of the restaurant. Service: Dine in; Meal type: Breakfast; Price per person: $30–50.

I had a fantastic breakfast this morning at an old-school diner on the outskirts of town, and I was pleasantly surprised by how excellent the food was! From the outside, you wouldn’t expect such high-quality dishes, but everything is made from scratch and, from what I tasted, absolutely delicious. I ordered eggs and spicy sausage, but I was originally interested in trying the posole. Unfortunately, they had just served the last bowl right before I arrived. The server informed me that they tend to run out every Saturday around 10:00 a.m. I even spoke with a guy who took the last bowl, and he mentioned that he comes here every weekend—either Saturday for the posole or Sunday for the menudo. I thought that was impressive until I learned he drives all the way from Yuma just to enjoy it. Wow, Yuma! I guess I’ll just have to get there earlier next time. Overall, great food, great service, and a classic diner vibe!
