Will not recommend please try other places The outside looks very nice don't let the crowded parking lot fool you. Half of those cars are employees or regulars who have been coming here for years. Arrived around 8 AM for breakfast there were no lines no waiting and plenty of seating The inside is not clean there was silverware under our table. There were food bits, all underneath the bench seating along the wall, and also in the bench seating we were sitting in. The decor is the best part about the whole entire restaurant. Seems they spend more money on that than they do their food. The prices on the menu were a bit much for breakfast for two eggs, hash home fries and two slices of toast. It was $20 so I thought I would be getting a nice meal for $20. Instead, I got hash from a can home fries saturated in Grease almost slid off another plate on to line. I could not get my fork through them and two eggs that had the whitest yolk you have ever seen, and if anybody knows about eggs, the darker the yolk, the fresher they are. Our food was NOT hot at all Nothing fresh here The only thing edible on the whole plate was the toast My husband ordered two eggs, scrambled two pancakes, two sausage, two bacon when the pancakes arrived they were very dense and about 1 inch thick. The scrambled eggs were white. They were not yellow at all again that tells you the freshness of the eggs there was no flavor no taste. Never in my life have we seen white scrambled eggs not even from a carton unless they are egg whites! YUCK The waitress was pleasant Coffee was good, I thought my husband begs to differ, but at least it wasn't brewed hot water. Oh they gave me my meal free by the way

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.

I decided to give Mae's a 2nd chance and went for a late breakfast/brunch yesterday (Sunday) . Walked in and was left to stand there, no acknowledgment...finally after approx. 4-5mins was told I could sit anywhere. by an older, flustered waitress. The place wasn't THAT busy. I ordered a Mae-Mosa (based on my check I think I was charged about $13-15?) which came in a beer pint glass...not at all a common way to serve a mimosa nor was it good.. By the way, there are no prices on the table card with the list of drinks...which were beer, wine or mimosas. I ordered waffles ($9.50) and a side of bacon ($4) "crisp" please. The consistency of the cold waffles was that of a wet sponge. Mushy. On the plate was a cute, but empty porcelain cow that was supposed to house maple syrup I assumed. I waited and waited to get the waitresses attention but to no avail so I got up, went over to where you pay and when I advised her I did not receive any maple syrup she never made eye contact with me...no apology and was quite busy counting her checks. I asked should I leave this lil' cow with you ? Again without looking up, said yes. While I waited for maple syrup which finally came but was given little plastic take out container filled and dropped off in a hurry...I thought the syrup tasted more like "pancake syrup" than Vermont's #1 pride and joy commodity. The "crispy bacon"? was far from crispy...1/2 of each of the 3 pieces was fat...and greasy as hell. I pulled apart what was edible and left a plate with lots of gristle . I truly should have sent all of it back but I was too hungry I guess and ate as much of what came out of the kitchen and was anxious to leave. Sooo my $25.50 Sunday brunch...with tax was extremely disappointing. I would have been MUCH better off going to the Morningside Bakery around the block which would have been better and less expensive. https://morningsidebakery.square.site/ It's a shame...and I'm not happy leaving a review like this as the owner & her husband are really nice folks but...Cest la vie.

Only IHOP does that and it's way too much butter. If you are eating all of that butter, you might need an extra dose of lipitor. Toast = kind of boring S&S pancakes = kind of tasted like pancakes with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Home fries = those were good I was there with two 16-year olds who both thought the food was "mid". I did see a small girl sitting with plate in front of her that had a waffle with ice cream and whipped cream piled so high, that it was almost as tall as her. Her eyes were huge and she was trying to figure out where to start. That waffle looked pretty good and as I passed the table, her dad was leaning in to "help out and keep the plate clean". They sell a lot of baseball hats and t-shirts.
