Historic Parkette Drive Inn Sign

Waited 10-15 minutes to order. Waited another 20 minutes and never received my food. Cars that arrived after me had orders taken before me and also received their food.

This is our annual lunch stop when we travel from Chicago to Tennessee to see my parents. The fried chicken is absolutely great. Add the coleslaw which is delicious, the home made ranch to dip fries into… the fact that Billie Jean has been our server for many of these trips and that we now say “see you next year”! Great food, great people, and a nod to simpler days makes this a perfect spot.

My wife and I went to Parkette last evening with our 17 month old grandson. We have always had good service and good food at Parkette. But we went in and got our seats inside the main part and waited for someone to help us. I'm not sure how long the couple next to us had been there, but they finally left. After 10 more minutes, another couple had to go find someone to come take their order. At that point, they still didn't ask us even for our drink order. I refuse to go ask someone to serve us. That's their job. After 30 minutes, we left without anyone even acknowledging we were there. How sad that this once nice historic eatery can not provide good service for their customers.

Awesome food and a great atmosphere! Hand spun shakes, fried chicken, chili cheese dogs and hamburgers! Fifties Diner atmosphere!!Be sure to ask for Billie Jean she was a high energy, attentive, waitress!Can’t wait to go back!

Service slow but glad to have service.speaker stacticy but adds to its existence.Food is so good.Burger was cold but still tasted good.All other food hot.Chili on hot dog was best I have had.Thanks for still being around.Worth the drive.
