This place pretends it's vintage charm on rails, but don't be fooled--it's more nostalgia at a…read morepremium. Ambience: It's a genuine 1950s Worcester Lunch Car--complete with Formica counters, vinyl booths, and tile floors that feel like they haven't changed since before your grandparents were born. Charming if you like that "museum exhibit" vibe--but cozy it isn't. Seating is tight, and the wait can feel longer than vintage itself. Food: Yes, it's scratch-made breakfast and lunch--maple syrup is local, English muffins made in-house, eggs fresh from Vermont farms. Great effort. But then you find out the famous hot turkey sandwich and VT burger that earned Roadfood praise under the old owner are no longer on the menu. The new proprietors swapped nostalgia for a rewritten menu--and higher prices. Some folks rave about the blueberry jam and standout flavors, but others griped that biscuits and gravy were "downright gross." Contrasting reviews and extra-charge condiment notes further muddle expectations. Service: Staff tend to move with diner efficiency--fast, polite, and no fuss. That said, reviews note some inconsistency: stellar one day, meh the next. They're friendly, but don't expect a guided gastronomic tour--just order, eat, move on. Value: With plates clocking in near $19 for diner fare like chicken-fried steak and breakfast burrito bowls, this isn't exactly your classic greasy spoon find. Everything tastes well-executed, but you're paying for that curated "local ingredients" label--not bargain basement. Bottom line: If you're nostalgic for a parlor that looks like a train car and serve-your-mother's-recipe breakfast served up with giddy pride, Parkway Diner might still charm. Just be ready to pay for ingredient provenance and ditch your hopes for old favorites like the hot turkey sandwich or VT burger. Solid for breakfast or lunch, but don't expect miracles--even if they serve bottomless coffee.

First of all, great music playing in this spot. We got in just in time, pretty soon after they…read moreopened: this place filled up QUICK and there seemed like a pretty substantial weight. We got the breakfast pancakes to split, which we were very curious about. It was somehow an excellent pancake and also a unique experience. I also grabbed the spinach scramble and my wife got the potatoes verdes. The chorizo in her dish was surprisingly good, but the true unsung hero was the homemade biscuit. Definitely grab one of those! The homemade hot sauce is excellent and not too spicy but packed with flavor. It adds a ton to their egg dishes. We are going back tomorrow to check out the banana bread French toast, which our waitress said is not to be missed, but we simply didn't have any more room in our stomachs! Update after day 2: skip the corn beef hash, and the omelet we got was just so-so. The "scramble" style egg dishes are much better. The home fries didn't get enough love in yesterday's review. They are quite excellent. And, the banana bread French toast was as advertised. Don't miss it. You can get a single slice as a side order for five bucks as of this writing, and you will not regret it. Again, excellent and friendly service and my kind of music.

She came back and checked on us few times and see if we needed anything. The restaurant was clean. The food was delicious. The steak and cheese was perfect. The cornbeef hash was just plan, wasn't enough salty. 2 bathrooms. Dining room has around 10 tables. Great restaurant for quick breakfast or lunch while in town for camping or just in town.

Got the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was so buttery that it immediately upset my stomach and lacked any other flavor-- all you could taste was butter. I unfortunately wasn't even able to eat my entire meal because it was just too rich/intense. Fiancé got the biscuits and gravy and it was a hearty portion but had to pay extra for eggs... he said he'd give his meal a 5/10. Both our breakfasts were served with home fries and those were also really gross. It also felt kind of expensive for diner food... we each got the entrees mentioned above, one coffee and waters and with tip included it was $50. If it were for the environment and the service, we'd go back-- but for the food and the price...likely not.

Ups and Downs. Ups:…read moreThe food is good, it's kinda trust and don't judge a book by its cover. But for starters the grilled cheese is like as thin as an average pointer finger which is like actually crazy. The sprite was a little sketchy, I mean it's kinda worse than what you could get at a gas station and a little more expensive. It was $4 and there's not even refills, I would bring my own water if I were you. The vibe is nice though, like a 60s diner that just felt welcoming and I couldnt tell if there was music or the vibe was making music be in my head. Downs: This might just be a me problem but every time I order chicken from there I barf, and when I don't order chicken I don't barf. The chicken is good, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't risk it for the biscuit. I really had to go to and there is only a men's bathroom with all the stalls and all, and an all gender bathroom with a single toilet. My friend and I go to the bathroom, when we got there we realized we had to wait. There are seats outside of the bathrooms and the like teenage girls are looking at us like we are nasty creatures. The teenagers were eating there and one of them scoffed really loudly before disrespectfully telling us that there is a line. I hate this, there is seats that people use to preserve bathroom spots, this ought to be fixed with like a special sign. Honestly, they were so disrespectful I'm too nervous to go back. But there needs to be a women's/girl's bathroom, seriously.
