Parker's Kitchen

Been eating at parkers for a quick breakfast several days a week since it opened. The food used to be plentiful, fresh and properly cooked, then something changed. Clerks used to be friendlier and greeted you as you entered. Lately the portions have been less. Recently I went in and ordered a breakfast and I watched as the young girl prepared my breakfast platter. She was wearing latex gloves that were dirty I watched as she opened cabinets doors, etc. and then went back to serving food. She spooned up my grits and eggs and then stuck her hand in the batch of bacon and picked up several pieces with that same gloved hand. I made a comment about "please use the tongs, your gloves aren't clean" She got mad, grabbed the tongs and threw some bacon in the box and without a word set my box on the counter and walked away. I've tried breakfast several days after that but today was my last visit. I ordered the breakfast bowl and watched as the server filled it 1/2 way with grits then added a 1/2 of a spoon of eggs and two small broken pieces of bacon that wouldn't even be equivalent to one strip. So it was mainly a bowl of grits with very little egg or bacon. I have noticed that the portions dished up seem to be relative to who the customer is. Not sure what's going on here. The food is not as fresh, is greasier and is often overcooked. I guess I'll start going to Waffle House where I can buy a cook to order, fresh breakfast for a dollar or two more.

Friendly, pleasant and welcoming staff. Food is excellent...especially the fried catfish which has become my meal of choice. Parker's has the BEST catfish I've ever had. I've tried the fried chicken which is excellent. I want to try the meatloaf but I just can't seem to tear myself away from that wonderful catfish. And now they've added jalapeno cornbread...to die for. Plus, their ice is the tiny-cube "Chewy Ice" which is excellent, as well. And it's quite conveniently located very near my subdivision. My wife and I are happy they are here.

Very clean, SUPER nice employees, bright, good food, and there's gas! Definitely glad to see this pop up around here. 😁
