Today, my husband, my mother-in-law, her boyfriend, my cousin-in-law, and I ate at Parkway Family Restaurant. Everything was excellent. As soon as we were seated, a server brought us ice water. (They even left a pitcher on our table so we could refill our cups as we pleased). We went at about 10 in the morning, but we could order breakfast or lunch. I ordered the crispy chicken salad. Everyone else ordered traditional breakfast foods. The food was fantastic. Parkway makes a fantastic salad. Its giant and they give you plenty of dressing. For those wondering about the actual breakfast foods, everyone that I dined with said that theyre eggs were cooked to their requests and that the bacon was perfect. Amongst the table, we ordered white, wheat, and rye toast. They were all three great. No ones toast was overdone or underdone. I am told the hashbrowns were quite good. The tables have salt, pepper, ketchup, strawberry jam, grape jam, Tabasco sauce, and Cholula (thats probably spelled wrong). The waitress was friendly and attentive. The service was quick. I would definitely recommend Parkway. Ive had great service everytime Ive eaten at Parkway. EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to say that we all received huge portions for low prices so Parkway is a great value for families/large groups.

I’ve been at this restaurant several times before (all for breakfast) and have never been disappointed. Food is always hot and very good and prices are low. My sister in law from Milwaukee wanted to take her husband (my brother) and the rest of the family out for Sunday brunch. I recommended Parkway Family Restaurant and glad I did. We all ordered something different on the menu and we all were very happy on both the quality and quantity. And the food was hot! Of course I took all the credit but the credit belongs to the staff at Parkway Family Restaurant. This is a really nice family restaurant with friendly staff, great food and reasonable prices!

Service was good, food was underwhelming. The servers were very friendly, and the atmosphere was nice and quiet; a very family friendly restaurant. I ordered the 8oz sirloin steak with a baked potato and salad. The food arrived quickly. The steak was tougher than I expected, and was nothing more than a piece of meat that had been cooked on a grill, no spices or anything to make it stand out. Similarly, the baked potato and salad were simple. Overall, a decent restaurant for a quick stop on the highway, but not a place I would go out of my way to visit again.

I can only grade their breakfast I had. I saw the good reviews and was excited to try their food. Their eggs were soaked in butter. All I could taste was butter. Their bacon was microwaved bacon so little to be desired there. Their pancakes however were big and they were good. I wanted to rate higher but cant justify it. Staff was nice and food arrived quickly.

Favorite greasy spoon ever. Great food, cheap, super friendly service, good sized portions, breakfast all day.. I love parkway. I have my favorite things there, but I have literally never eaten anything that wasnt good at Parkway. Defying all reason, they seem to make everything delicious, cheap and fast. Highly recommended.

This place has huge portions, an awesome salad bar, varied menu, and is much less expensive than any other diner in Madison hands down. Every one I take there loves this place. Its an old fashioned diner, and destroys perkins/dennys in every possible regard. Its certainly worth a try.

We were looking for a nice brunch with excellent food looked up diners and Parkway came up with a 4.4 rating so we gave it a shot. We were not disappointed one bit to say the least great food and excellent portions for the fair price. I would recommend 10/10 times!

Food was great, service was even better. Came here after Perkins had a 10-15 minute wait and we were hungry and didnt want to wait. SO glad we did, because this is a place Im definitely come back to. Screw Perkins, come here instead.

Friendly, true family restaurant. Perkins and IHOP and Village Inn are chains and you can rely on them if there isnt anything else...but this is good, homemade food done right with a family oriented atmosphere. LOVE IT.

Down home cooking, open every day of the year, good breakfast menu, senior menu, wide variety of options, and very friendly wait staff and owners. You can quickly become "one of the family."

Coffee tasted like it was brewed with lake water. The pancakes tasted stale as though they had been sitting in the window all day. 2 stars and not one because the bathroom was really clean.

Friendly waitstaff. However my wife found a hair in her food! Disgusting! They offered to replace the plate. We accepted. Still we were turned off. Probably wont be return customers.

We were greeted and seated coffees and fed with a quickness. Coffee cup was never empty and all servers seemed to work as a team with hostess cashier. Great diner food well served.

Excellent service and food. Its very straight forward, traditional breakfast. Imagine a Perkins menu, but with the food made with extra care and quality. I will be back!

Good food for good prices. The waitress was very friendly. My wife and I decided to split a dinner plate, she made sure we had a second plate and a decent size portion.
