Don't be deceived by the affordability— the food is served hot, quickly, and tastes great. I’ll definitely be returning!

I discovered that it is now under new ownership, and while it still has a fresh atmosphere, it continues to exude that comforting charm of a beloved place from the past.

While we were there, we decided to stop by Parkway Cafe, and we were delighted with our experience.

The real disappointment, though, was the coffee—it was honestly the worst I've ever tasted in Springfield! It even arrived in a mug that looked like it belonged in a retirement community. Really? After we finished our meal, both my friend and I ended up feeling quite ill, which prompted me to lower my rating from 3 stars to 1 star.
