We eat at Charlie Parker's at least twice a month for breakfast. The staff is friendly and fast, the kitchen is fast, and our orders are always correct. We usually get a simple egg dish, meat, hash browns, and toast. The portions are ample and depending what I order, I have some to take home for the next morning, Toward... More

Searched tvfoodmaps.com for restaurants to visit during our weekend in Springfield. Charlie Parker's didn't disappoint! You may just drive by unless you're looking for it as it is an old Quonset hut with a large gravel parking lot. Don't drive by!! The inside is "old diner" décor with vintage vinyl on the walls and stools at the counter. The staff... More

Arrived early on a weekend morning and got seated promptly. We were lucky to arrive when we did because the place filled up quickly. Waitress was nice and was quick to take our order, and she was a Packer fan which was nice to see in Bear country. I ordered the breakfast horseshoe and my better half ordered a bacon... More

My wife and I went here for breakfast 1 of our 2 mornings in Springfield. We'd seen it on a TV show in the UK called Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and decided we had to pay it a visit. It didn't disappoint. It's housed in an old Quonset hut and the walls are adorned with old vinyl LP's, neon signs... More

A true diner, Charlie Parkers offers a great variety of breakfast entrees and does it all day! Try the signature Breakfast Shoe, plate-sized pancakes or waffles. You won't be disappointed. The waffles were especially good with a unique, citrus crossed with cake batter flavor. Easy on the budget, too.

As seen on the third season of Triple D, this is a true diner experience. We were there for breakfast and tried the Breakfast Shoe – a true heart-attack on a plate (toast topped with egg, then meat, then gravy, then cheese, topped with hash browns), but delicious!!!

It gets no better than Charlie Parker's diner. From the jam-packed, dirt parking lot to the imaginative reuse of an old Quonset hut, Charlie Parker's sets the scene for great things to follow. The LP covered, neon festooned interior takes you back to another day. The menu touts an appearance on Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins, especially for the 16 inch... More

We couldn't wait to try this place for their huge plate-sized pancakes, and even have friends who have been many times! While the food was good, it was amazing or worth a 1.5 hour trip to eat here. The service was not anything to write about, either. The building was truthfully a dump (I read the reviews but was going... More

Ha ha. Hilarious. Standard diner fare. No idea what the hype is about. Coffee was awful. Waffle House is better and that's saying something.
