Cochranton Parkside Restaurant — Restaurant in Cochranton

I hate the idea of leaving a bad review on any small business at all. Especially in that town. But it’s not even fair to customers that stop for a meal to be left paying for that experience……. It’s gotten really bad….. I’ve tired 3 times now just in the last couple months, first, with a empty restaurant other then whoever is doing school off to the side, and still EVERY TIME food takes over 40 minutes to come out for small basic orders. Fruit flies swarmed around the table to the point you can’t even politely not swat fruit flies…. Even The ketchup provided was spoiled and really sour…. The food was just really really not good any time lately, to the point we just couldn’t eat it, and honestly it’s just not hygienic in general, I think they just kind of don’t care so much about the restaurant since they opened the beer distributor maybe? Bc it wasn’t to bad just a couple years ago. But it’s a unfair experience to have people come on spend money and time on stuff you can’t even be polite enough to get down, especially in an environment where the plates still dirty and fruit flies are swarming, I think they need to hang it up, or put a bunch of effort back into it…. Though staff is polite, by all means. But it’s a turn off from the start when u walk in and the staff is just sitting at a table messing around. And when you already can smell bad smells and see in the kitchen sleeveless cooks body hair and head hair not covered, while sitting in your pile of fruit flies, waiting for your less then edible food, it’s just a really terrible experience now days to be honest…….., One hundred percent wouldn’t pass a random...

I just visited this restaurant and was extremely unhappy. I visited with 3 other people and we all ordered drinks and I was the only one who asked for lemon and everyone else received lemon. The next thing was that Me and two of the other people I was with ordered a salad. And I I ordered one with just lettuce, cheese, and Italian dressing. When we received our salads mine had lots of other things including onions, tomatoes ect; and finally I ordered mash potatoes with nothing on it, a medium steak, and corn. I received a streak that was cooked all the way through and my potatoes had gravy on them... another person I was with ordered a medium rare and hers was also cooked all the way through. Both of us were not happy with our food. And to add on to all of that it was extremely expensive I do...

We stopped in here while visiting the town we grew up in. Oh boy, I have never waited so long for food in my life. We were here for about 1 hour 45 minutes. We each ordered a wedge, the Club for me and Italian for him. When the food came out, it was delicious, don't get me wrong. If it wasn't for the ridiculous 80-minute wait between ordering our food and receiving it, we'd stop back in the next time we were in town, but no food can be that good. There were only 3 other tables at the time we were seated, and we were the last ones in the restaurant by the time we got our food. The waitress was apologetic and comped us 10% of the price. Three stars for the ridiculously long wait, not for the taste of the food or the quality of care the...
