Amazing family Diner where the food is fresh, hot, delicious, and served with a smile. Our waitress, Debbie was very attentive and fun to chat with. We are Breakfast there, 7 of us, and w water and to be seated right away because they have indoor and outdoor seating! AND The diner supports Ukrainian efforts in the war! Which is very special to us since we have 2 Ukrainian people living with us who are escaping the war due to health issues. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

A cute family diner nestled just a few blocks from Lake Ontario. I dined here for lunch recently and had no complaints with my experience. It is much like you would expect, a mixture of locals reading the paper and having their coffee, and families enjoying a home cooked lunch, and workers grabbing a quick bite before running out the door. I opted for a BL (BLT hold the T) and it was good- I ordered it on untoasted bread so the kitchen had to remake it when it got to the service window and they had missed that detail. Other than that, service was prompt, my onion rings were tasty, and I thought the prices were very reasonable. If I am in the area again I would certainly stop in.

The connoli french toast was very rich and very good. Felt more like a dessert than a breakfast food. You can not go wrong with their eggs benedict either. They were just what you’d expect.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Parkside Diner and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience, AS ALWAYS! As someone who worked there for years, I can attest to the fact that this is truly one of the best diners around. The owners, servers & all the staff employed are top-notch and always make you feel like family.

We always have great service and delicious food. Prices are very reasonable, and you can sit outside in the summer. They have tables with umbrellas and even a big tent. It looks small on the outside but there are lots of tables inside. This diner is a favorite for locals.

Second time here since moving back. Last time was amazing. The waitress remembered me from over a month ago and is super friendly. Gave me time to go through the menu without interrupting me, always a plus. I ordered the strip and eggs with the pumpkin soup. The steak was a perfect med rare, it did need some salt and pepper but I’d rather add my own. The eggs and potatoes were perfect, no seasoning needed for the home fries. Now let’s talk about that soup. I remember the first time I had a home made sweet potato pie, it was life changing. This soup mmmmmm. If you like pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie, try this soup it will not disappoint. As always the service was amazing.

Parkside Diner is one of my favorite spots in all of Rochester and the only one that I prioritize visiting whenever I’m in town.

Honestly the best diner pancakes I’ve ever had. The club sandwich hits the mark perfectly, and the breakfast skillet is the incredible. Exceptional service, outdoor seating is nice too. Can’t wait to come back.

Update: now down to 1 star. Never got checked on to see if anything else was needed, Gina just walks by and leaves check mid walk with out making sure food was okay burnt toast, son wanted cereal, I wanted to order two lunch meals to go to eat later, none of which happened. Go to cash out and ask why servers never check on their customers and get looked at like I have 10 heads. I shouldn’t have to chase down or beg my waitress for service
