With 4.5 rating and several suggestions from the locals, I had to try out Southside Diner on Pleasant Valley, in Parma. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars because it was simply just that! A small diner that you would normally pass without really looking for it. Very quaint, relaxed feeling. Staff was courteous and personable. Sarah, my waitress, was great! Service with enthusiasm and a smile. She knew the menu well and was quick to fill up my coffee everytime. She also left me alone to enjoy my meal----the place was slammed with hungry customers... I then realized that America has this great fascination with diners and the country truly runs on diners...I'm all in.
Sarah suggested a few of the diner's top choices depending on how hungry I was (I was a little hungry). She suggested the Breakfast tacos (2) which comes with a potato/onion home fries/hash on a separate plate. It was prepared well, and presented with colorful ingredients. Soft taco shell, chorizo, grilled pineapple (interesting!), red onions, chipotle sauce, scrambled eggs, paper Jack cheese, and cilantro. The 'heat' was the perfect amount and blended well with the rest of the ingredients. It was different from your typical breakfast food so I went with it and it tasted so delicious AND otherworldly, I wished it came with 3 tacos! BUT I realized that the potatoes filled my stomach eventually. The amount you get was ok for the price, although I would have paid slightly more with a 3rd taco option. I would highly recommend this place to everyone! Definitely would come back again. AND don't ever forget to tip your waiter/waitress well when they worked so hard to serve you well!...
Onto the next diner!...
